Hey there, I'm Carissa! I’m a lover of adventure, and exploring new places. I specialize in photographing elopements in the San Juan mountains of Colorado, the western US, and international locations all over the world.
My goal is to help couples plan connected, meaningful elopement experiences in the most breathtaking landscapes on earth, and document the story of it all. Whether it's a glacier in Alaska, a waterfall in Iceland, or a cliffside in Moab, I'm ready to document your adventure.

Photos that tell your story
I strongly believe your day shouldn't feel like an all day photoshoot. It should be an incredible experience - the amazing photos are simply the result of that. My goal is to document the story of your elopement, with photos that bring you back to the way the moment truly felt. Your adventure deserves to be remembered.
" Carissa was a dream to work with! We are so lucky we found her to document our elopement. We could tell how much she truly cared to help us plan and capture our special day from the first email she wrote back to us. Carissa is so easy to communicate with, super thorough and thought of every single detail while we worked through the planning. We were blown away by all of her amazing recommendations and could not have asked for better options. She worked so hard to help us plan the perfect elopement in less than a month and we literally couldn’t have done it without her! Now the pictures, we are so obsessed!! Each and every single one of them are absolutely amazing. It was important to us that we had the day captured so we could share with our friends and family who were not there to witness our marriage. The online gallery is perfect and easy for sharing with loved ones. Our friends and family couldn’t believe how breathtaking the photos are. Plus, Carissa sent us some sneak peek photos the very next day! Not only is Carissa extremely talented, but she is the sweetest person and so much fun to hang out with! We had the best time out in the mountains with her. She’s the best and I highly recommend booking her for your elopement!!"
