As a Couple Who Wants to Experience
Meaningful Moments Over Performative Ones

As a photographer with a storytelling approach, the core of my best work lies in you staying present and enjoying your wedding day to the fullest extent possible. Forget about all the other stuff – I want you to have images that you can fully see yourself in. I creatively document all the moments you might have missed, leaving you with a gallery of photos that are so uniquely yours that you can’t imagine seeing your day through any other lens.  

I’m Here to Remind You That Once the Memories of the Day Fade Away, You’ll Cherish Your Photos Most of All 

When Working With Me, You Always Get

  • Timeless, intentional imagery A mix of documentary and editorial styles for timeless, intentional images
  • A mix of documentary and editorial styles
  • An empathetic and inclusive approach to ensure you feel not just comfortable, but cared for

  • Hands-on, personalized experience from initial inquiry to final gallery delivery

  • Clear communication and professional guidance throughout the process


  • A refined artistic vision that turns your moments into beautiful, lasting memories


My process always starts with an in-depth, personalized questionnaire for you and your partner to fill out. This information gives me everything I need to know in order to tailor my approach to you, your story, and your vision. In the months leading up, we will have phone or Zoom calls scheduled so I can hear all about the planning process and how you’re holding up! By the time your day arrives, I’m in sync with what’s about to unfold and how to authentically document your love. 



MY APPROACH

BEFORE YOUR WEDDING DAY

MY APPROACH

ON YOUR WEDDING DAY

My approach is to watch closely, be completely in the moment, and capture the essence of what unfolds naturally. I’m deeply inspired by what makes your day yours – I pride myself on being an observer over a conductor. My goal is for your photos to not just remind you of your day, but to let anyone who sees them feel like they were right there with you. You can expect each image to be equally impactful in aesthetics and emotion. 



KIND WORDS

"She Captures every moment and emotion in a truly genuine way

(A Feat In Itself!) But Also Do So In A Way That Makes You Feel Like She Is An Old Friend. Carissa is the best of the best! My wife and I found every time we were in front of her lens we could just be ourselves and truly soak in the moment, something that you can’t really appreciate until you experience it first hand. If you are looking for someone to capture your love story look no further…you will not regret it!

"It plays just like the movies, telling the most special story of your wedding capturing the pure love, happiness and joy.

Carissa is the ABSOLUTE BEST photographer you will ever find. She created the most comfortable environment to work in while also always bringing it with the jokes and tunes. I’ve honestly gone through my wedding photos almost daily since she has sent me the album. Carissa truly cares about her clients and it’s very evident in her work. She is truly passionate about what she does. I’m so grateful that she was our photographer.

"She is an authentic soul, detail-oriented yet relaxed, a master of her craft.

If you are looking for a photographer, you have found one!! We are barely 3 days post wedding and over the moon with our experience with Carissa. We are being entirely honest when we say she felt like a close friend by the end of our wedding day. Her communication is outstanding and we felt so at ease when shooting with her. We cannot wait to see the rest of her art from our wedding!
