Each couple (and their guests) are extremely unique. You all have different views, opinions, and styles. Because of this, I spend a ridiculous amount of time getting to know you on a personal level.
I want to have a deep understanding of what you envision for your big day and put hours into working towards, so we can bring that vision to life, together as a TEAM.
I want you to be comfortable and at ease around me + any member of my team. I’m chill, easy to get along with and I pride myself on fitting into any crowd. I’m unusually great at breaking the ice and reading rooms/situations before they could ever get awkward.
Get personal
weddings are not a copy and paste experience.
Rooted in
I’m not just an ally of the LGBTQ+ community. I support all forms of love and celebrate diversity. I want you to see yourself in my images. I proudly serve and shoot all people regardless of age, size, shape, color, gender or sexuality. No questions asked, please come as you are. (This includes your friends/family too!)
There is no need for you to awkwardly break the news to me that your brother is gay during the booking process. I’ll love him just as much as you.

Personal Guide
I'm not just your photographer. Think of me as your personal guide, gently leading you through the day and taking charge when needed.
I’m your personal hype woman all day. I’ll advocate for you, I’ll make sure you have a drink in your hand and even play your favorite songs to calm your nerves.
Worried that either you or your partner are going to be an awkward mess for photos? Yeah, you and everyone else who gets married and steps in front of the camera. You aren’t a model (unless you are. LOL) and I do not expect this from you. My job is to let those personalities shine by promoting you to be yourselves.
Dolla Bills
While making money is important to me, I ALWAYS put people first. My couples are NOT transactions. You are not just another wedding for me.
I take pride in my work and the experience I share with you. That experience begins upon inquiry-booking + planning. The budget is always the first worry and concern. (vAlid) but let’s worry about connection first and budget second. I’m pretty great at my job and can help you move things around based on priority so you can get everything you want without compromising quality.
I’ll shoot it straight with you and tell you at the end of the day the flowers will die, the linens and tables get returned/reused, but the photos? Those last for generations to come.

We were lucky to have Karissa as our photographer. She truly exceeded our expectations in every way. Karissa was the first vendor we hired right after our venue because we knew she had to be part of our team. We found her work on Instagram, and her photography style immediately resonated with us. Karissa’s ability to capture bright, natural, and candid moments was exactly what we envisioned for our wedding photos. Karissa is not only an incredibly talented photographer but also an awesome person who goes above and beyond. A standout moment was when she helped me in and out of my dress with her emergency crochet needle (lots of pearl buttons)—truly a lifesaver and a testament to her dedication. Karissa's assistant, Brooke, also captured some super cool behind-the-scenes videos throughout the day. We loved that so much because we were so busy and didn't have the chance to capture anything with our own phones. They were so good to look back on while waiting for the professional photos and videos. If you're looking for a photographer who not only has a stunning visual style but also cares deeply about their clients, look no further. We wholeheartedly recommend Karissa and her team

We are so.lucky we have found you. You're an amazing photographer, Karissa & a wonderful person. You were so accommodating, attentive & very helpful with all our photography needs. Thank you so much for being a part of our wedding and capturing all those precious moments that we will never forget. You're very easy to deal with, very professional and just fun to be with. You took the stress out especially when the weather was not our side during our photo shoots. You really make it easy for us before, during and after the wedding.

Karissa has been voted one of the best and after working with her I know why. She truly is an amazing photographer and very professional! She was very easy to talk to and always got back to me with any random question during the planning process. Come wedding day she was ready! She knew how to work with the planners timeline and exactly what poses to do and how to utilize our space. I never once felt nervous in front of the camera as she made it feel like I was a natural! She is very personable and very funny. We had her for the whole day and it was well worth it. We saw some sneaks a couple days after the wedding and her work is just beautiful. Every single person that has seen the photos have said our photographer did amazing. That is all thanks to Karissa and her team!
