Hiring Clarissa was hands down one of the BEST choices we made for our wedding.
Our wedding day would not have been the same without her! All our guests loved her and we do too! My husband and I have spoken so many times about how special and amazing that day was for us. Our main memories are looking into each other's eyes and kissing and hugging the whole day with such an amazing side of adventure! We couldn't have planned things better if we tried, and this wouldn't have been possible without Clarissa! But where to start with all the help she provided us?

First of all, she helped us with the permits and planning, she checked in on us and was SO fast to answer any questions I had. Prior to the wedding she sent us a gift box which included luggage tags, a calendar, and a Yosemite candle and after the wedding she sent us a customized holiday ornament with our pictures. She even sent us a gift so we could enjoy going over our wedding pictures for the first time. Not only that but she created the timeline of the day for us and sent questionnaires to make sure we were all on the same page for the wedding. Once in Yosemite, she met with us the day before over coffee to discuss all the details, and she event scouted all the locations for our photos the day before, so she was more than prepared! She even had the wedding timeline as her screen saver! I haven’t even mentioned the actual pictures yet which are STUNNING! She is such a talented photographer with such a beautiful romantic vision and somehow she managed to make us FULLY comfortable in front of the camera.

Clarissa is someone that has an attention to detail that doesn’t come naturally to many people. She is so patient and thoughtful I could keep going on forever with compliments on this review. Picking her as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we could have made. I only hope for the best for her and that everyone will fight over her for their wedding day. If you have any doubts BOOK HER. You won’t regret it!

Clarissa is the best! A photographer is arguably one of the people you’ll spend the most time with on your wedding day, and Clarissa does an incredible job making sure it’s a positive experience with absolutely stunning results! Seriously, if you’re on the fence, don’t hesitate, just book her and you will not regret it!

Clarissa took the time to get to know us and what we wanted so she could get all those beautiful shots, and she went above and beyond to make the whole experience upbeat, fun, and as stress free as possible. She was so organized throughout the whole process and wedding day that I didn’t have to worry about any coordinating and she worked so well with our family to make everything flow seamlessly. She scoped out some areas for our after-wedding beach photos and found us the perfect spot! It was such a joy to work with Clarissa from beginning to end and the pictures are gorgeous!

All I can say is that Clarissa is amazing and you will not be disappointed! The most important thing to me was a shot that captured the beautiful Lake Tahoe setting and us, so that we could have it as a piece of art not just a wedding photo. Clarissa, not only delivered on one of those shots but so many that I am having a hard time choosing!
Not only were her pictures stunning, but she made the whole process easy. Even when I changed our October date to April last minute because I decided I wanted snow, she just rolled with it.
Being a planner and not being able to make a "reservation" like you normally would with a venue, made eloping a very scary thing for me. From the start, Clarissa did a great job giving us options and scouting locations, so that when the day came I felt relaxed and knew that we had a good plan on how the day would flow.
As for the day of, it couldn't have gone any better! I was worried about how my now husband would handle 6 hours of photos when I could hardly get him to do a 20 min mini session, but Clarissa made everything so easy that he was totally at ease the whole time.
Then the icing on the cake was the album she created! It is one thing to see all our photos on the computer but then to get this album.... It was just beautiful and brought the day to life all over again! Considering it took me two months just to create our announcement, I can't imagine how long an album like this would have taken me, not to mention I would not have been able to make something with that kind of quality myself. I really can't recommend Clarissa enough and Thank you Clarissa for making our day so amazing and special!
