I'll bring you back to what truly matters on your wedding day without making you feel like you have to “get it right.” I artfully document the epic venue locations, the florals that belong in an art museum, the multi-day affairs, the sunset sailboat ride, and the details you’ve spent so much time and energy curating for your big day. You can also expect to see unplanned memories.. I honor them with just as much weight as the first look or the walk down the aisle. You never have to pose perfectly or hide your real emotions. With me, you’re allowed to be nervous, goofy, teary-eyed, overwhelmed, or loud with joy - and it’s all going to be captured with care.
I'm here to do your story justice - not just the aesthetics or the highlight reel, but the feeling.
My heart is to remind you - you are so deserving of having this experience remembered down to the last detail. You get to be fully in the moment and confidently know that I'm going before you and documenting every piece with intentionality - a truly luxurious feeling.
When you look back on the gallery, you'll remember how it smelled, how it sounded, how it felt to be there. The biggest day of your life is going to be captured in a timeless way that allows you to return to it, again and again for generations to come.

Carissa could almost sense what I was feeling before I even knew it.
She captured every part of our day perfectly and every promise she makes she delivers on.

My father went into the hospital the day we went on our honeymoon and passed away two weeks to the day after we got married - the photos she took that day were the last photos we have of him and will forever cherish.
100/10.

Booking Carissa was hands down one of the best decisions we made. I feel like I am re-living the day every time I look at our gallery. our wedding day would not have been the same with anyone else!

There are honestly not enough good words I can say about Carissa! She single handedly kept me sane throughout my entire wedding - she felt like a personal friend through the whole process. I am beyond grateful we found Carissa.

Frequently Asked Questions
Don't see your question? Please reach out through my contact page or shoot me an email. I promise, there really isn't anything I haven't seen or been asked in the last almost decade of doing this! Here for you.
Everywhere in the Southeast, travel is included. So Highlands, Charleston, Asheville, Boone, Savannah, even FLORIDA... no travel fees. Anywhere out West, Midwest or Northeast, there will be a travel fee.
My easiest yes. Nothing brings me more joy than photographing the weekend as a whole. The Welcome Party/Rehearsal Dinner is always amazing - the two of you seeing all your favorite people, a brother giving a toast.. it's the best. If your Sunday morning has some kind of brunch send-off - it bookends the wedding celebrations so perfectly. I only book one wedding per weekend, so I'm all yours anyways!
Yes! I've had my hands in a lot of timeline creation - I will help as much as you'd like! But that being said, I HIGHLY recommend having a planner for your day. Not only does that allow me to do my job at the fullest capacity, but YOU can take a deep breath. The only question you need to answer on the day of your wedding is, 'Would you like more champagne?' Trust me, planners are PRICELESS. I have a few planners I love and would recommend again and again.
Four weeks before the big day, I send over a pre-wedding questionnaire for you to fill out. It has all the information I need for your day - timeline, of course, other vendor info, contacts, family shot list, and MORE. We can hop on a phone call to go over everything if you'd like. I'll also chat with your planner to ensure everyone is on the same page!
Day of, I'll arrive early so I can scout locations, get my creative ideas flowing and get a lay of the land!
To lock me in for your date is a signed contract and a paid non-refundable retainer. The retainer is 30% of your total package price and the remaining balance will be due 30 days prior to the wedding day. This goes for sessions, elopements and weddings.
Everything is delivered within 1 week. Yes, 7 days. I don't think there's any reason for me to keep your photos longer than necessary. And I've been doing this for long enough that my editing process is seamless. Reap the reward of me living in an editing cave for years!
I don't like to promise an exact amount because each session and wedding is so different. I typically deliver 60-75 images per hour of coverage! My philosophy is quality over quantity - believe it or not, 1,500 images from a wedding day may seem like a great idea, but it can be overwhelming. Quality over quantity always.
