Hey there, I’m Carissa…
An Edmonton-based photographer, creating timeless and heartfelt imagery for couples who value authenticity, elegance, and unforgettable experiences.
To me, the photographs that truly matter are the ones that evoke emotion and spark nostalgia—images that stand the test of time. My approach is centered on crafting visual narratives that feel honest, personal, and effortlessly sophisticated, telling your story in a way that feels uniquely yours, no matter what your love looks like.
Every detail of your experience matters. From our first connection to the final gallery, my goal is to create an effortless, enjoyable process that puts you at ease and lets you stay fully present in your day. I’m committed to creating a safe and welcoming space where all love stories are celebrated.
As one client shared: “She captured not just how the day looked, but exactly how it felt—every laugh, every tear, every moment.”
Let’s create a collection of memories that reflects the beauty, joy, and intimacy of your day—a timeless keepsake for the legacy you’re building.
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."

a bit about carissa
I'm A Vancouver Island Girl
01
I grew up on the West Coast—Victoria, BC, to be exact—and no matter where life takes me, I’ll always be an Island kid at heart. (Yes, that’s little me in the yellow swimsuit!) While Alberta is home now, I find every excuse to return to Victoria, drawn back by its beauty, its energy, and the chance to capture love stories against the stunning West Coast backdrop.
I did the wedding thing my way
02
I married my best friend at our own intimate West Coast wedding in 2019 and can completely understand the pressure, emotions, and excitement you’re feeling. That’s why I’m here to be your loyal supporter cheering you on to stay true to you and nurture a day that is uniquely yours.
I’m a trained doula & Love Birth Photography
03
I’m certified in the practice as a Holistic Doula and my Reiki level one. I have a deep passion for capturing authentic birth stories and the raw moments that encompasses that journey. In another life I would’ve have loved to have studied to be a midwife.
Real connections,
genuine hearts.
Every human has a story, meet some of my people
If I’m shinin’,
everybody gonna shine
