Who Is this "Caroline"?
Hi there, I'm a New York Wedding & Family Photographer based in Long Island! My love for photography started when I was a kid watching movies - I nerded out over creative compositions and visual effects captured in-camera. Then I would try to recreate them myself!
Growing up I always loved being creative and doing artsy things, whether it was painting, drawing, interior designing, or taking pictures. I got my first point and shoot camera when I was 12 and always had fun finding weird angles to capture the light & the world around me.
In college I took some photography classes which deepened my love and appreciation for film photography. But it wasn't until after I worked in the movie and then marketing industries that I decided to pursue my photography career full-time. That was 2019.
My first wedding was 500+ guests and I had a BLAST! It was an eye-opening experience that confirmed my true calling! Since then, I've been relishing in the wonderful life of a photographer.
I've had the pleasure of meeting incredible vendors, forging friendships with talented photographers, and capturing countless milestones in people's lives while joyfully celebrating alongside them. I absolutely love it!
German & Japanese - I'm half Austrian, half Japanese. German and Japanese are my native languages. English joined the chat when I was in high school so please excuse my mispronunciations and grammar mistakes!
I'm a classically trained pianist but love to play film scores & jazz! In fact that's pretty much all I listen to...
I love powder-skiing! I usually go back to Austria to ski with family. I tried snowboarding but I am my father's daughter - he was a ski instructor!
I love to DANCE! But also play tennis, ski, darts (is that a sport?), and plan fun events for my friends (like escape the room games!)
I used to work in the film industry, notably on Godzilla in Japan and Sir Paul McCartney's Music Video (check out my sword box design Emma Stone had to be in<< see the beetle I hid on it? ;)
In fact I LOVE Movies! From Hitchcock & Godard, to LOTR & Marvel films. I'm specifically a nerd for how films are made, it's absolutely fascinating and I get a lot of photography ideas that way!
My husband and I LOVE New Zealand! We've travelled all over the world and would love to one day be able to live in the land of Hobbits:)
