Welcome to the blog

I’m so excited for their wedding in July. + I get to travel. Working with them was so easy. Minus the wind, we had to beat and ultimately change locations the day of their session. Talk about go with the flow! Nicole literally has the instant ability to laugh and look so natural. The love […]

Proposal Story – We were in Florida on a family vacation and Tony originally planned to propose at the Magic Kingdom at the Halloween party since we were dressed as Cinderella and Prince Charming (Jill’s favorite princess since childhood) in front of the castle. He didn’t end up doing it since it didn’t feel quite […]

Proposal Story – We were on a family trip with Ariane’s family. We were taking a cruise from Miami to the Caribbean. While in Miami, we went to this really cute Greek restaurant on Saturday night.

These two honestly take the cake thus far on the bad-ass couple factor. Sietske’s hair was out of this world with the mohawk type look on a bride, it was creative, different and completely fitting to her style. Then you have David who looks like he rolled up on his Harley in style with that […]

The internet is really a magical place when it’s used for good. Tory was looking for a wedding photographer when she came across my account on the Knot. I get a message saying “Is this Karissa Russ?!” I’m like well yaaaa… hahah Long story short, we knew each other a long long time ago like […]
