It Would Consume His Life

Carsten went on to say, “Little did I know at the time that weddings would eventually consume my life.” So even as a 17-year old teenager, he was able to convince a few couples to allow him to shoot their big day. From a skateboarding portfolio he was able to build a wedding portfolio, and then came an even bigger opportunity for him, deciding to move to another state.

Moving To San Francisco

He made his way from SoCal to San Francisco by car, thinking that ‘The City By The Bay’ would give him a better chance at having an actual career as a professional wedding photographer. And since he was slowly building his skate portfolio into a new wedding portfolio, he was hoping that it would be enough to get people to hire him.
