HELLO! I’m Carissa, your 𝑏𝘳𝑖𝘥𝑎𝘭 𝘤𝑜𝘢𝑐𝘩, 𝑠𝘵𝑜𝘳𝑦𝘵𝑒𝘭𝑙𝘦𝑟, 𝘢𝑛𝘥 𝘢𝑑𝘷𝑒𝘯𝑡𝘶𝑟𝘦-𝘴𝑒𝘦𝑘𝘦𝑟, here to guide you through every step of your incredible journey.
 
Imagine this: an elopement on a mountain top as the golden light kisses the horizon, a romantic stroll through a bustling cityscape hand-in-hand, or a room bursting with the laughter and love of your closest family and friends. Whatever your dream day looks like, it’s more than just a wedding—it’s an adventure, a story waiting to be told. And I’m here to help you tell it beautifully.
 
From the moment we connect, I become more than just your photographer. I’m your confidante, your guide, and your biggest cheerleader. I know that planning a wedding, whether it’s a grand celebration or an intimate elopement, is filled with moments of joy, anticipation, and even a little chaos. That’s where I step in—not just to take photos, but to coach you through the timelines, decisions, and quiet in-between moments that matter most.
 
Bridal coaching with me is about more than ticking boxes. It’s about creating space for you to be fully present. It’s about making sure every piece of your day—from the morning butterflies to the tear-filled vows—feels effortless, intentional, and unapologetically 𝑦𝑜𝑢. Together, we’ll map out your day so you can focus on what truly matters: the love, the laughter, and the unforgettable moments that happen when you let your guard down and simply enjoy.
Because your love story is extraordinary. It’s not meant for stiff poses and tired traditions. It’s meant to feel alive—filled with movement, energy, and real, raw emotion. If you’re longing for photos that reflect the adventure of you, the wildness of your love, and the beauty of every unscripted moment, then you’ve found your person.
 
Let’s capture the magic. Let’s make art together. Let’s turn your wedding into a story that will be cherished for generations—one frame, one laugh, one tear at a time.
 
Are you ready? Because I am.
 
This is your adventure—and I’m honored to help you live it, breathe it, and remember it forever.
Let’s create something unforgettable, together.
