Years from now you'll still be telling people about this day. Where you'll stand when it happens is almost entirely up to you.
Let me show you the way
AND
However you want this day to go, there's a way there. Finding it with you is my favourite part.
[ let's adventure ]
Most people think an intimate wedding or elopement means hiking for hours up a mountain with a backpack and a tent.
And if that's your thing? Count me in. I'm here for it.
But that's one version of an intentional wedding day. Not the only one.
and a day to get lost in?
What if your wedding day felt like the best part of your honeymoon — unrushed, unforgettable,
the kind of love that you can feel over and over again...
Love notes straight out of our journal
'OMG, we have just had a brief look, they are stunnnning!! Thank you so much for taking such care of our photos.I have chills. We cant wait to see everything else you have created"
_- Darryin + Mitchell
We wanted a day that belonged only to us. Something wild and intimate … From the beginning, Carissa made us feel as though we were setting off on an adventure with an old friend. There was no pressure to be anything other than ourselves. We laughed, explored, held each other close.
- Charlie & Casey
- Ally & Trent
— Megan & Tom
'Thank you so much for your timeline planning. I seriously had no idea where to even start.'
Carissa became so much more than our photographer. She helped us create an entire two-day experience around us, from location recommendations to all the little details we never would have thought about ourselves … By the time we arrived in Mt Cook, everything felt effortless. We spent two days exploring and simply being together.
'Hello my beautiful, incredible, amazing soul!! I am in so awe of you and everything you have done for Charlie and I! Thank you so so much for everything, you seriously went above and beyond and i truly cannot express how grateful we are.'
'He was blown away at how beautifully natural the photos were. So artistic that we've had to put one up in our ensuite.' - Emma
Made for love that needs room
All genders, all orientations, all the ways people find each other. Everyone is welcome in front of my camera.

Found in a drawer years later...
Nobody performing
Tender, and a little undone
The ache of a good day ending
— long after the day itself is gone.
I'm not chasing a look. I'm chasing a feeling —
