Remember your love story as you lived it.
Your wedding day will move faster than you imagine. Between the anticipation, the joy, and everything in between—you'll wish you could hold onto it all a little longer. That's exactly what I'm here to do.
Your wedding day isn’t just another to-do on your list.
Maybe you're planning an intimate elopement on the coast. Or a multi-day celebration at a vineyard.
Perhaps you're getting married in your family's ancestral village in Italy, or exchanging vows at a mountainside estate.
Whatever your vision, you need a photographer who can match the intentionality you're bringing to every detail.
You're creating an experience that reflects who you are as a couple.
Luxury isn't about extravagance.
It's about thoughtfulness, quality, and care.
My background in marketing and the service industry means I understand how to tell a story visually while knowing how to take care of people—how to anticipate moments, read a room, and capture the narrative arc of your day.
But more than that, I care about creating an experience that feels personal, elevated, and effortless.
All love is welcome—when you work with me, rest easy knowing you’re in a safe space.
After you inquire, I'll send a link to connect over video or phone. We'll discuss your vision, timeline, and what matters most—ensuring we're the right fit before moving forward.

Having Carissa as our elopement and wedding photographer was an absolute joy. Not only did she deliver stunning candid photos of our bridal party, venue, and guests, she was incredibly personable and made my husband and I feel completely comfortable during the times we had portraits taken.
Our wedding venue was on the Sunshine Coast, and her familiarity of the area was incredibly valuable. We are very grateful she documented our big day!

Frequently asked questions
Absolutely. Many couples come to me knowing they want something beautiful but aren't sure exactly what that looks like for them. I'll ask thoughtful questions during our consultation to help clarify your priorities and shape a plan that feels authentic to you.
I blend documentary storytelling with editorial sensibility. I capture real, unscripted moments while maintaining a refined, cinematic aesthetic. The combination of digital and 35mm film gives your gallery both contemporary polish and timeless warmth.
My marketing background means I think strategically about visual storytelling—how images work together to tell your complete story. I also coordinate closely with your vendors behind the scenes, which creates a cohesive experience and better results for everyone involved.
Yes, and I love them. I've photographed celebrations from Vancouver Island to the south of France. My family is from Italy, so I have a deep appreciation for destination celebrations and the unique energy they bring. For international weddings, I coordinate all travel logistics and ask that you cover my flight and three nights of accommodation.
Most people aren't naturally comfortable being photographed, and that's completely normal. My approach is gentle and intuitive—I read energy well and help you relax into the experience. By your wedding day, you'll feel like you're spending time with someone who understands you, not posing in front of a camera for a stranger.
Film has a quality that digital can't replicate: there's warmth, texture, and timelessness to it that makes images feel more like art than documentation. It slows me down and makes me more intentional about what I capture. Including it in every package is important to me because it elevates the final collection significantly.
After you book, we'll schedule a dedicated call to walk through your day hour by hour. I'll suggest optimal timing for portraits based on light, coordinate with your vendors on logistics, and create a structured plan that allows for both beautiful imagery and genuine enjoyment of your celebration.
Deposits are non-refundable as they secure your date. However, if circumstances require you to postpone before your final payment is due, you can apply your deposit toward a different event within one year.
Preview images arrive within one week—perfect for sharing the joy with family and friends immediately. Your complete curated gallery is delivered within 3 months through a private online platform where you can view, download, and share.
Yes. After you receive your digital gallery, we can discuss custom Italian-bound albums, fine art prints, and other heirloom-quality keepsakes to complement your collection.
Carissa was an absolute dream to work with on our wedding day! She worked so hard to get the perfect shots at a very unconventional wedding. She embraced my culture with her energy and it reflected in the beautiful photos we received. She was also a great sense of calm when the timeline went off base - I highly recommend her if you're looking for someone who's professional, kind and has exceptional skills in capturing the perfect moments.
