to have & to hold

MEET CARISSA.

My goal is to bring a refreshingly authentic perspective to luxury and high-end wedding photography. I emphasize that true luxury isn’t only about showcasing designer labels or extravagant displays - it’s about the experience, the confidence, and the intentionality that comes with it.

For myself, luxury is found in the deeper connections between people, the thoughtful moments that unfold throughout a wedding day, and the attention to detail that elevate every aspect of your celebration!

It’s about capturing real, meaningful moments that reflect the uniqueness and authenticity of my couples and their journey together.

Luxury is private, intimate, and deeply personal - that’s exactly the kind of experience I offer.

I want to remember my grandma's shoes, what her plates looked like, the spoon she used to stir her instant coffee. The hard working hands of my Grandpa - the hands that have held thousands of playing cards, hands that provided for his family, spending long hours in the factory and on the farm.

Photos hold the evidence of a life
well lived and a life well loved.

I grew up spending my days at my grandparents.. running barefoot through the woods, climbing in the barn rafters, Gram teaching me how to sew..

as i grow older, they do, too..

my core values:

Loyalty

I show up for you like a best friend, but I work like a bodyguard. My clients feel safe, protected, and prioritized - not just emotionally, but logistically too. I’m the person holding the line when needed, making quick decisions, and always looking ten steps ahead so you don’t have to. I’m your calm and your confidence, not afraid to speak up or step in. I strive to give you a a sense of security and peace, especially in high-pressure moments.

Transparency

I lead with honesty, clarity, and openness - whether I’m communicating with couples or vendors. I believe integrity builds trust and I’m committed to making sure people never feel blindsided, but informed and respected. There’s no smoke and mirrors here - just clear expectations, dependable communication, and real conversations. I will always show up for you as myself.

Ease

From inquiry to gallery delivery, my process is built to remove the stress and multiply the joy. My superpower is bringing a lightness to the room and a calming, peaceful presence.. I want you to relax with me! Every moment is designed to help people
feel held, not handled.
