The photos Karissa captures are speechless. She captured every laugh, giggle, and every priceless look between my fiancé and I. We truly couldn’t imagine a better photographer. I would highly recommend if you want your photos to feel that everlasting love. She is absolutely incredible!

Karissa is a lovely and sweet person and a great wedding photographer! We booked her because of the beautiful way she edits her pictures.
What we liked about her editing style, is that pictures don’t look fake or over edited. Karissa is patient and kind. Karissa also took our engagement pictures. By having the same photographer for both events, we were not as anxious to take pictures on our wedding day because we already knew what to expect. She didn’t not rush us. Karissa took her time to capture our special moments. During our wedding day, she worked well with other vendors. Karissa edited and shared our pictures within a month after our event. She took so many pictures and organized them in specific files. Karissa has great communication skills as she responded to my emails and texts quickly. Last but not least, Karissa offers a great variety of services for a reasonable price. She worked well with us so we wouldn’t go over our budget. We are so thankful for Karissa’s service.

From your first look to the last dance, I strive to document your day in a way that feels true to you—authentic, intimate, and full of joy. It’s not just about taking pictures; it’s about creating a space where you can be fully present, laugh, and love without worry. Every couple has a story worth telling, and I’d be honored to help tell yours in the most beautiful, intentional way possible.
At the heart of my work is my faith in Jesus. His love inspires everything I do, and it’s a joy to reflect His goodness by capturing the love He’s created between two people. I believe marriage is one of the most beautiful gifts, a reflection of God’s love for us, and I count it an honor to preserve those sacred moments for you. Whether it’s your wedding day, an engagement session, or graduation milestone, I approach each session with prayer and intention, ensuring your story is told authentically and beautifully.

Her work is genuine and she clearly loves what she does. She does not leave her work half done. She knows just the right way to capture beautiful, timeless, and natural moments. I’ve had the privilege of her taking my pictures and have always loved them. She took the first pictures my fiancé and I ever took as a couple in 2021. Fast forward to 2024, she has now taken our engagement pictures. She does her best to make you feel comfortable and works hard at what she does. I can truly say from knowing her for years that she can be trusted to capture all of your special moments. There are few people like her in this business. Highly recommend!!

There is something so special about Karissa and her art in photography. If you or your husband are not comfortable in front of a camera, I can assure you, she makes you feel very comfortable and seen. I truly don’t know how she does it, but she somehow manages to capture the BEST candid moments!
