Hey! I'm Karissa, award winning wedding photographer and Las Vegas native (yuppp, born and raised in this crazy town) I'm your long lost BFF. When searching for someone to capture your special day (whether it's unconventional OR traditional) you want to make sure the process is as seamless as possible. Just imagine me as your best friend holding your hand throughout the entire process (from finding other vendors, planning, timelines, small details, giving my two cents, and putting your mind at complete ease every step of the way)
OH yeah, did I mention we typically have a ton of fun? It's my job to make you feel like your most comfortable and authentic selves. I'm capturing all the REAL authentic moments, you would have otherwise missed. I'll even teach you some moves on the dance floor and hop in the photo booth. If you want a custom one of a kind experience, you found your girl. So what are you waiting for? Let's chat!
I'm new around these parts, but if you'd like to take my past couples word for my cool factor - Read the Reviews
Karissa Karissa Karissa! What can I say? This woman is a gift. A true gem! My fiance & I couldn't be happier that we chose her for our Vegas elopement. Our wedding plans have been ever-changing due to covid, so our elopement was a bit last minute and not thoroughly planned out, but that didn't deter Karissa! She knows what she's doing & you can tell. She's also a Las Vegas native so she knows all of the cool spots. Our photos turned out amazing! They're all so natural looking & bright. Being an interracial couple, it was important to us to have professional photos with great lighting throughout- and Karissa delivered! She also kept us really calm and cracked jokes with us the entire time. Couldn't ask for anyone better, Karissa really is the best of the best. Book her or miss out on the magic- I don't know what else to tell you :) Thank you so much Karissa for all the you have done to capture our classic vegas wedding day!

Your best friend!
I first chose Karissa after stalking her IG page. Not only are her pictures so lovely and candid, but you can tell she just loves love. I worked with her remotely and felt very confident in choosing her for our destination wedding. She is upfront, direct, funny, timely, works quickly and will blend right into your wedding and reception. She was on the dance floor with us, teaching us dances and ensured I had a drink in hand. She was on time for engagement photos and the wedding. She had an assistant with her the day of the wedding and she was also such a lovely person too! Karissa had engagement photos back to us by the end of the night for a sunrise shoot and less than 30 days for the wedding. She is dedicated to providing 5 star service. She is so creative and innovative to figure out ways to improve the experience with her. When our wedding photos were ready Karissa scheduled a session with us remotely to view the photos together. She talked us through the pictures, pointed out the features of the website, pointed out some of her favorites, and relieved such a wonderful night with us. This really added to the whole experience and further shows just how invested Karissa is in your special day. This is the one you hire, you will have no regrets!!!
