Hey there, I’m Carissa…
Your easy going, always laughing, West Coast loving documentary wedding & elopement photographer from Edmonton, Alberta.
In my own life when I think about my favourite photos, it's the ones that I can feel. it's the ones that evoke emotions and stand the test of time. Nostalgic, honest, and timeless—that's the essence I aim to weave into your visual narrative.
My goal is to ensure that when you revisit your photos years down the road, each image sparks a flood of memories, capturing not just how it looked, but how it felt. Let's craft a visual masterpiece that tells the timeless story of your unique journey through life.
Purposefully capturing what
makes you whole, with intention and heart
I approach weddings with a documentary mindset, embracing the beauty of unscripted moments. Instead of imposing my presence or directing events, I prefer to be a quiet observer, capturing the genuine emotions and candid interactions.
With an editorial perspective, I subtly guide couples to create authentic and timeless imagery that reflects their unique love story. I strive to capture the essence of their special day with an artful eye, creating images that will be cherished for a lifetime.
"We are being entirely honest when we say she felt like a close friend by the end of our wedding day."
