    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!!!

    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!

    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!

    Carissa Woo Photography's reply:

    Thank you soooooo much Michelle! Can't wait to send you your full gallery. Your wedding was absolutely amazing.

    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!

    Carissa Woo was the most amazing wedding photographer. She made me feel comfortable and excited about my wedding from the very start. I felt like we could be best friends. Carissa made sure to take photos of the details and captured moments that I wouldn't have remembered if she wasn't there. Every picture she took was breathtaking and you felt you could not live without that photo. Carissa loves what she does and it is evident in the way she interacts with the bride and groom and their families and friends. Our relatives are still talking about the way she made everyone feel and were in awe when they saw the photos of the wedding. She made the photo taking fun, interactive and produced a beautiful product. Carissa is the best photographer, ever! We would absolutely recommend her to all of our closest family and friends.

    Yowza! Carissa Woo was a blast to work with and was able to bring out the best in us during our wedding! She was able to get the best shots, where nothing looks rehearsed or forced but instead natural and happy. Her creativity and calmness helped tremendously throughout the day and the end result were the fantastic photos we'll cherish for the rest of our lives and make our Facebook profile pitcures! Having never had a photographer follow you around before, it definitely felt more like a friend capturing our most heart felt moments while also encouraging a showcase of love. All in all, we're ecstatic we found and glad we chose Carissa as our wedding photographer! We would absolutely recommend her to friends and family.

    P.S. She also shot our engagement photos which also turned out spectacular as well!

    If you want the best of the best, you HAVE to book Carissa! A friend recommended Carissa to take our wedding photos, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Not only did the photos blow our minds, but she is the most down to earth photographer I have ever met. She knew exactly how to handle my family's unique needs when it came to the group photos as well. My grandma is 98 and can't stand for long periods at a time. Carissa made sure to take her photos first so she wasn't standing around waiting and in pain. Kudos Carissa! I love this girl!!!

    I used Carissa for my engagement shoot as well as my wedding and I'm so glad I did.

    She made us feel very comfortable because her style is natural and organic. And sometimes she'll be silly just to get a laugh out of us (and those made the best shots!).

    My biggest fear for a wedding photographer was one who takes center stage and obstructs the guests' view. Carissa and her team were not like that at all, in fact I don't know how they got the amazing shots they did because they were so inconspicuous.

    And the follow up after our engagement shoot and wedding was outstanding. She provided us with our images and album within the time she promised and she even sent us a personalized pillow along with a hand written note! While Carissa's professionalism and her eye for capturing that perfect shot makes her a great photographer, the attention to detail and her warm personality really put her over the top for me. I highly recommend Carissa.

    Carissa is an excellent photographer and one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day. I needed someone who would lead the day in the hustle and bustle of wedding chaos. She took charge and made sure we stayed on schedule and took all the photos we wanted.

    Carissa is professional, responds timely to emails and inquiries and was truly a pleasure to work with. The photos we have seen so far are absolutely gorgeous. I am so happy we spent the extra money to invest in such a good photographer because those photos are all that we have once the day is over.

    Thank you Carissa. I can't wait to use you again!

    We are so happy with our wedding pictures from Carissa! She was great at giving directions while keeping it super chill, which is exactly what we wanted. She sent links to the digital pics within days which was shockingly fast, and the dvd with the images followed shortly after. Great experience, thanks so much Carissa!

    Carissa Woo is an amazing wedding photographer. We met over coffee just once but my husband and i felt extremely comfortable with her light hearted manner. She is extremely easy to work with and makes the wedding photograph process fun and delightful. Her pictures brought tears to my eyes when i viewed them for the first time - tears of joy! I definitely recommend Carissa as she is flexible, easy to work with and a beautiful photographer.

    Carissa provided my fiance and I the perfect experience at our engagement shoot. Shy and a bit self-conscious at first, she was able to lighten up the mood and help us feel comfortable in front of the camera. Carissa captured amazing moments during the session. She is extremely professional but easy going at the same time. I would definitely recommend her!

    Carissa Woo is fabulous! We knew we wanted a phenomenal photographer for our wedding day and didn’t know where to go. Carissa came highly recommended from our wedding coordinator, Nicole Alexandra Designs, and I am so beyond thrilled we chose HER for our wedding day. I can honestly say it was one of the best decisions we made, as I know we will forever value and treasure reliving the special moments from our engagement photo shoot, rehearsal, and our big day. I could have never imagined such a wonderful experience.

    Carissa’s professionalism and promptness, along with her kindness went a long way. We received compliment after compliment on how easy and wonderful she was to work with. She was never in the way, but yet continued to capture the most amazing shots. I feel so special that we had the opportunity to share our wedding with Carissa. She was beyond incredible and the work she has produced is insanely amazing.

    I would strongly suggest using Carissa Woo Photography! I am more than happy to discuss and share the wonderful work she did. Please feel free to contact me if you would like kaceykennedyroth@gmail.com.

    Carissa is the most fantastic photographer ever! We knew she was the one even before we met her. Just look at her blog! Her photos are amazing. And wait until you meet her in person, she's so warm and funny. You feel so relaxed and comfortable with her that you sometimes forget that she's there. Her vision is unexplainable, she'll shoot you in a place that you would have no idea is anything special, then it will turn into one of the most fabulous pictures you can think of!! Her photography is bright and colorful (which I love)!! My wedding party was also a little rowdy, which wasn't an issue for her at all. Love her! She's my life photographer and will use her to photograph ever monumental event in my life :)
