your favorite party guest

Hi there—I’m Carina, owner and head photographer at major crush.

I’ve been photographing for the past 13 years, and shooting professionally in NYC for the past seven.

My background spans studio photography & portraiture, fashion, live concerts, video direction, and even a little floral design.

I’m a Sagittarius & an ENFP, so basically the life of the party. I’m inspired by music, movies, and romance, of course!

I love photographing humans and parties, and laughing over drinks, cakes, and good food. Over the years I like to think I have developed a great eye, and also a great sense of humor.

The extended major crush team also includes other incredible, trusted photographers, videographers, and creative minds that I’ve met through my time in New York. Need help with makeup? Styling? Floral? We’ve got a recommendation for you.

I’ve battled with brides through rainstorms and aching ankles, removed stains on dresses, tied corsets, pinned bustles and boutonnieres (hopefully correctly), and more.

If we’ve found each other, perhaps it’s fate! Or perhaps it’s the algorithm. Either way, I look forward to getting to know you and bringing everything I have to offer to your (dinner) table.
