Amazing AMAZING Experience

Look no further for a wedding photographer! Book Carissa, it will be the best decision you made for your big day. I do not have a single negative thing to say about my experience with her. She went so above and beyond on our wedding that my husband and I couldn't stop talking about it the next day. Carissa, thank you for helping to make our day absolutely perfect and capturing those perfect moments.

An Incredible Photographer and Artist

Our experience with Ella Grace Photography was absolutely phenomenal. Carissa was very well prepared and moved us through the planned photographs capturing everything that we had discussed and so much more. She went above and beyond to get some of the most amazing wedding photographs I have ever seen, at one point literally wading in the water to get the perfect angle for our lakefront shots at the dock.

I cannot say enough to recommend this service to anyone that wants to ensure they have photographic record of their special day. Carissa is an artist and a master at what she does. She has a wonderful personality and sense of humor that makes all the time spent together such a privilege to experience.

Thank you so much!

Highly recommend :)

We can't say enough wonderful things about Ella Grace Photography! Carissa was wonderful to work with. She is laid back and easy to work with, and I swear she's like a ninja! You don't even realize she's there at times, and she somehow captures every moment! Many guest commented on how nice she was, and we had a lot of fun with her too. It felt like we were hanging out with a friend who was taking pictures of us, so it felt fun & comfortable. We HIGHLY RECOMMEND hiring Carissa for your special day :)

FIVE STAR- Wedding Review

Choosing Ella Grace Photography was absolutely the best decision we could have made for our wedding day. Carissa handled her self with such professionalism and grace throughout the entire planning of our wedding and even more on our wedding day. She did absolutely everything we could have imagined our photographer to do. Our wedding was the best day of our lives and she captured each moment perfectly. On a day when emotions and nerves are both high, she was able to ensure that we were able to capture each moment that we wanted and needed. We were able to get the first look photo we had always imagined, photos with our family, bridal parties, friends, and reception! Our photos have come out absolutely fabulous and we are beyond thrilled each time we are able to relive that amazing day through her work. Even with a rainy day, with a ceremony that was moved inside, we were able to get all of the beautiful photos we had always imagined and hoped for. Carissa was always professional and positive when family continued to ask for photos throughout the night- she made it CLEAR that she was there to serve the bride and groom and capture as many fantastic moments as possible. We are SO THANKFUL that we were able to have her as our photographer for our wedding day and would HIGHLY recommend her to ANY of our friends!

So lovely!

Working with Ella Grace Photography was the best possible thing I could have done! I got married at a golf course that kept the course open and Carissa worked tirelessly to remove every golfer from my photos. She has such an eye for detail. The photos are beautiful and I can't even decide which ones are my favorites. All of them are THAT good!

Absolutely Incredible!

Choosing Carissa as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we made! Carissa was extremely flexible and made sure that our needs were taken care of. Prior to the wedding, she was always quick to respond to emails and offer any advice or suggestions she had. On the wedding day, she arrived early and while she was photographing helped out in any way she could. For the posed portraits she was efficient and organized. She made sure to get all of the pictures we wanted. Carissa knew exactly when to give direction and when to capture the moments as they happened. Throughout the day she took on many roles including child entertainer, dress fixer, and anything else we needed! Both of our families commented on what a nice job she did during our wedding and said they would recommend her to anyone. Carissa was positive, enthusiastic, attentive, and friendly. I cannot recommend her enough!

Absolutely Incredible!

I can’t say enough nice things about Carissa! She is such a kind, caring person that we genuinely enjoyed having near us on our wedding day! She comes in with a plan and gets all the shots you want while also being accommodating and kind! We also used her for our engagement pictures and were so impressed with the quality of her pictures. She is so talented and we can’t wait to see the entire collection of pictures from our wedding day. The sneak peeks have already been incredible! Highly, highly recommend!!

I wish I could give 10 stars. I first met Carissa when she was shooting a friend of mine's wedding. She had this enthusiasm that permeated through the wedding. She looked for new shots, beautiful on the spot locations. Her photos were tremendous. I knew when I got engaged at the end of 2016, she was the person I had to have. I booked my venue and then she was my second call. The day before the wedding, she set up a phone call with me to go over all the pictures that I wanted. She pointed out flaws in my logic and suggested some solutions that would make the day run smoother. I was in awe! She was thinking of things that I had not even once considered. She let me know that the day of the wedding she would be an hour early. An hour early?! She was the best. She really was right there. She scoped out everything. We had some difficult ringbearers and a unhappy flower girl. Carissa had brought supplies to entice them into smiling! She had bandaids which were their all time favorites that day. Her sneak peak photo was given to me within 12 hours tops and was beautiful. It was a SUPER hot day and you could not tell that I was sweating in these photos. I am telling you right now, there is no better photographer for any event you may. Always, always, book Carissa.

Carissa was amazing! Ella Grace Photography was amazing! She was very responsive, totally reasonable and really cares about her clients. She took the time to get to know what I envisioned, even helped me find different visions, and also allowed me to send her samples of what I'd like. She was always on time, and always found the best way to get the photos. Not only did she listen to our visions, she also ensured that we got pictures of those whom we wanted in a timely manor. It was great to work with her on these, and if we ever need more photography done, we will for sure use her. I can't recommend her enough, so if you're looking for someone, she is great and her prices are VERY reasonable.

My fiancé and I had our engagement shoot just a few weeks ago and it was such a great experience. We were nervous about being in front of the camera, but as soon we got there we immediately felt comfortable. She did a great job of catching us in our most candid moments :)
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
