About

Hello, I'm Carissa Woo. I'm a full time photographer from Torrance, California. My studio is in Redondo Beach. What I love about wedding photography is the challenge of capturing the essence of a couple in a new surrounding. Each couple is unique, as is the environment, so there is always the potential for a fresh shot where I can apply my style. Photography is my passion! If you like what you see, please contract me at carissawoo@gmail.com 310-940-7240. Hope to hear from you.

She is amazing

Carissa is simply the best. She’s talented, personable, professional, and overall amazing at her craft. As a wedding planner, it is so important to curate a wedding day team that I know will help me run the day flawlessly. Carissa is amazing at what she does and returns the photos quickly. I recommend her to every single one of my couples!

Thank you Carissa and Michelle

We had the pleasure of working with Carissa and Michelle on our wedding day. They were thorough, upbeat and very helpful in directing us. It rained on our wedding day and they were attentive to pauses in the rain so we could still have photos outside. The photos we have seen so far turned out beautifully, and we can't wait to see more. Working with them was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding!

Highly Recommend!

My (now) husband and I worked with Carissa for our engagement shoot, my boudoir shoot, and our wedding day.

Carissa is kind, timely, and professional. She goes above and beyond for her clients. She makes you laugh during the photo shoots which give you the best smiles and photos! Carissa has a quick turn around for sneak peak photos and your entire photo album. She’s quick to respond to email and text messages.

We can’t wait to work with her for our family photo shoots in the future. We highly recommend Carissa!!!

Awesome photographer!

Carissa did a wonderful job taking photos for our wedding. She was quick to respond to messages, friendly, and super easy to work with. She sent us gorgeous photos the morning after the wedding, sneak peaks a weeks later, and a full album within a couple of weeks. She is a true professional!

Carissa Woo Photography is AMAZING

Carissa Woo’s work speaks for itself, with all the amazing photography and videography you can view on her website and social media. When it came time to planning our wedding, it was without hesitation that we reached out to Carissa. Her energetic and professional approach put us at ease right from the jump.

We started with our engagement shoot in West LA, where Carissa and her team took us on a fun tour of amazing backdrops. Being photographed for hours can be quite a tiring and self-conscious experience, but we ended the day feeling so excited to get married. She brought so much fun, energy and warmth out of us.

Our wedding day was quite the marathon, with a tea ceremony in the morning, wedding party photos during the day and the wedding in the late afternoon / evening. Carissa and her team's energy never wavered, keeping us going and capturing all the unforgettable moments we can cherish forever. Weddings being typically a stressful experience, Carissa and her team moved seamlessly throughout the ceremony and reception.

A true testament to the quality of Carissa's work is that we cannot stop looking through the photo gallery and videos. They say your wedding day flies by, which we can say that it truly did. We are so incredibly glad that Carissa and her team were the ones who captured our special day so we can relive that day for the rest of our lives. They captured the true emotion, happiness and magic of everyone there. 

If you are looking for a professional, caring and amazing photographer/videographer for an engagement photo shoot and/or wedding, Carissa and her team are your answer. You won’t be disappointed, just happy on the happiest day of your life.

Epic Photography, Amazing Energy

Carissa and her team were absolutely amazing! Carissa did our engagement and wedding photography and she literally cannot take a bad photo. Each and every photo is a beautiful moment and memory and she was able to capture it all, literally didn’t miss anything, so we can cherish these photos and memories forever. Carissa is a true professional and in working with her it’s so clear that she knows exactly what she’s doing and on top of that she makes it SO fun!! She livens up the group and us to create stunning, epic photos. No one feels awkward or looks awkward- all of the photos capture the true energy and liveliness! She made it so easy our wedding day because we trusted her skill, creativity, and eye for the perfect photos. Also the entire process leading up to the engagement shoot and wedding were both so seamless because she’s communicative, organized and prepares you on what to wear, bring, etc. We absolutely loved her energy and couldn’t imagine our wedding day without her!

Beautiful Photography and Videography with Fast Delivery and Packages Catered for You!

Out of all the photographers I reached out to for quotes, Carissa was the only one that reached out to talk over the phone. She got to know who I am and what I was looking for in a photography/videography team. She worked with our budget and was able to stagger her shooting time with the other photographer so we could have more coverage time for our wedding. She was able to capture well posed photos as well as the candid ones, directing with ease without being bossy. My main goal was to get all the obligatory shots with our loved ones and with the scenery as quickly as possible so that we could also be present and enjoy our time together with our guests. It was a snap because Carissa and her team had worked our locations before and were efficient. Speaking of efficiency, the sneak peak photos were delivered the day after the wedding and we received everything pretty quickly. Carissa Woo Photography made everything user friendly -- not only did we get a USB drive of all of our photos, but an online gallery where we could view/download the photos via zip drives. The invoices were able to be paid all online as well. Carissa is easygoing and very sweet. She even sent us "Mr." and "Mrs." mugs along with our photos. Thank you Carissa Woo Photography for capturing our perfect day!

Great experience!

Carissa is incredibly professional and well organized, and my husband and I were so glad to have her as our wedding photographer this year. During our first session together taking engagement photos, my husband and I were both a bit camera shy at first, but Carissa did an amazing job cueing us on how to pose, and we ended up having so much fun working with her. We also noticed that Carissa was extremely quick at capturing all her photos in just the right moment, and were really amazed to see how she still somehow managed to make every shot look perfect. On our wedding day, we ended up having limited time to take photos at our ceremony venue, but Carissa was so efficient that she was able to take all the shots we planned out and still get us to the reception early enough to enjoy cocktail hour with the guests! Two weeks later, we've already received over 800 photos that Carissa took on our wedding day, and I am so happy to see that every single one looks beautiful.

Thank you Carissa for making everything run so smoothly, and for all the beautiful moments you've captured on our special day!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED - Beautiful and Gorgeous Photography

We had an INCREDIBLE DAY with Carissa Woo :) She is so easy to work with and guided us through every step of the day. The photos were beautiful, natural and our personality shined through. She took time to get a sense who we are as a couple and made suggestions that would bring out our love for each other. The engagement shoot and wedding day photo shoots were so much fun. My bridal party were able to be themselves in front of the camera and Carissa captured the perfect moments

A Dream To Work With

Carissa truly spoiled us with so much love and beautiful talent. Time and time again she brings her energy, warm smile and amazing team to help deliver and this time it was for my very own wedding.

Looking back I couldn't imagine anyone else shooting my wedding and I'm so endlessly thankful for all of her time that she spent to give us such a wonderful experience throughout the planning process, our engagement shoot and all throughout our wedding day.

Her ability to make you feel comfortable is unmatched and leading up to any shoot, she was so responsive and helpful. I will ALWAYS recommend Carissa to anyone looking for a photographer that puts her clients first 110%.

Thank you, Carissa!! We love you!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
