Eternally remember when your forever began.
The emotion, the anticipation, the pure joy of this moment—it's fleeting.
Having these memories preserved means you can relive them years from now. Share them with family who couldn't be there.
Freeze this moment in time. Because this type of joy and anticipation?
It only happens once.
You've chosen the perfect location, thought through every detail, and now you need someone to capture it without being obvious.
I'll work with you to understand your timeline, find the best vantage point, and blend into the background until the moment happens. You'll receive photos that document the surprise, the tears, and the celebration that follows.
After the proposal, we can continue with a relaxed portrait session so you have images to share with family and use for save-the-dates.

Choosing Carissa as our engagement photographer was one of the best decisions we ever made for our wedding journey!
Both me and my partner were nervous coming into the shoot as we've never done something like this before, but the second we met Carissa, her directions and suggestions were so natural, we had so much freakin' fun (my face was hurting from laughing and smiling so much!) and the entire experience was one of my FAVOURITE memories/dates ever!

Frequently asked questions
I'll position myself somewhere natural—as a "tourist" taking photos, a person on a walk, or blended into the environment. Your partner won't notice me until after you propose. We'll plan every detail in advance so nothing feels forced or obvious.
Anywhere meaningful to you works. Popular spots include beaches, parks, mountain viewpoints, or even your home. I can suggest locations based on lighting, privacy, and your vision. Places like Whytecliff Park, Lighthouse Park, or Queen Elizabeth Park are beautiful options in Vancouver.
Wear something that makes you feel confident and reflects your style. I'll provide guidance based on your location and the overall aesthetic you're going for. Coordinating colors (without matching exactly) tends to photograph beautifully.
Absolutely. Pets are family, and I love including them in sessions when it makes sense.
Golden hour (the hour before sunset) offers the most beautiful, warm light. However, I can work with your schedule and create beautiful images at any time of day.
Carissa did an AMAZING job capturing our engagement shoot with our pup. She made location recommendations based on some inspo pictures I sent her and made us feel so comfortable during our shoot, giving us feedback and direction.
We are beyond happy with how they turned out! Can’t wait to work with her again in the future.
