You want your wedding photos to encompass the intention and experience you’re creating. You appreciate the blend of documentary and editorial photography that captures genuine emotions without feeling staged. Finding a photographer who can seamlessly blend into your day and put you at ease might feel overwhelming. I’m dedicated to providing an empathetic, inclusive, and grounded experience from the first inquiry to the delivery of your timeless images.
Wedding Photographer Serving
Alberta, British Columbia, And Beyond
For couples who value meaningful moments over the performative.
As a photographer rooted in storytelling, my greatest work comes to life when you’re fully immersed in the beauty of your wedding day. It’s about more than just capturing moments—it’s about preserving the ones that truly feel like you. With a thoughtful, unobtrusive approach, I document the fleeting glances, unspoken emotions, and quiet in-betweens you might otherwise miss.
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 - all love is welcome here
- 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
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!

Q. how can we book you?
I’m based in Edmonton, Alberta, but my roots are in Victoria, British Columbia, and I split my work between both. I also love photographing destination weddings—Italy was my most recent, and I’m always eager for the next adventure. If you're planning a wedding beyond these cities, I’d love to hear more about your vision!

Q. hOW CAN WE BOOK YOU?
I never like to give a set number of images since every wedding is so unique, and with my storytelling perspective, it all depends on how your narrative unfolds! However, on average I deliver 50-60 images per hour so you can expect a robust gallery filled with the best images of your day with plenty to go around.

Rest assured, there's no need to provide a shot list on your wedding day. My goal is for you to be fully present, savoring each unique moment, while I capture it as it unfolds. My approach is exceptionally thorough and personable, ensuring I understand your vision deeply. Trust me to document your day authentically, and you’ll cherish your images even more than anything you’ve seen online.
That said, I will always inquire about any special photo requests you might have and will ask for a family photo list to ensure we capture those important moments.
