MEET YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER
KARISSA CASTILLO
My journey into photography began in high school when I picked up my first camera during my sophomore year. I started small—capturing prom and homecoming formal photos for my friends and doing a few family sessions. Over the years, that simple passion grew into something so much greater. I discovered my true calling in photographing weddings and couples.
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.
behind the lens...
how it all began
Outside of photography, I find joy in spending time with my sweet nieces and nephew, lifting at the gym, Costco runs, or getting lost in a good TV show. My love story with my husband began way back in elementary school—we reconnected after high school, started dating, and got married two years later. He’s my biggest cheerleader and constant source of inspiration. And when it comes to food, tacos (especially chicken tacos) are my go-to, though I’m always excited to try something new. These everyday moments and connections shape who I am and inspire the heart I bring into my work.
