"I couldn’t rave more about Karisa as our wedding photographer! She made the day run so smoothly and captured all of the important moments and everything in between. I couldn’t count the amount of times our guests came up to us during the wedding to tell us how great of a job she was doing! We got our photos back so fast and love every single one, they truly make us able to relive the day over and over. We also got our engagement photos done with Karisa as well which were a blast. Ellie was also such a great addition and captured such fun behind the scene footage that is so great to look back on. I can’t recommend Karisa more!"

She’s incredibly easygoing and made us feel at ease on what can be an overwhelming day, while somehow capturing every moment without ever being intrusive. Her photos are stunning- our friends and family can’t stop raving about how beautifully she documented the day. Karisa- she’s a world-class photographer who will totally crush your wedding!"

“We can’t thank Karisa enough for being such an amazing part of our wedding day! We’re so grateful to have her be the one behind the camera on our big day. She truly caught the love, fun, and little details we’ll never forget. Plus she brought the BEST energy and kept us smiling, laughing, and totally at ease. Looking through them brings us right back to the joy of that day. It meant so much having a family friend behind the camera, and we feel so lucky it was Karisa. We will forever treasure these captured memories!”

The Crew's 2025
"My husband and I were recommended to Karisa through multiple friends in Chelan and in the San Juan Islands. It was the easiest and best decision we made through our whole wedding planning process. She was incredibly easy to work with and FAST, worked with us on finding the perfect timeline, and gave our gallery back in RECORD time! Karisa made us feel so comfortable, beautiful and captured our day perfectly. She was also able to look at my meticulously planned Pinterest board and gave me some of the shots I had been dreaming of."

"After our wedding day we received the most compliments regarding our wedding photos- everyone and I mean EVERYONE was obsessed with how Karisa was able to capture our special day! From the big moments to the tiny details, Karisa made sure to capture it all! While Karisa's talent behind the camera really shows through her work, it was an added bonus to feel like one of our closest friends was behind the camera. Karisa has a special gift for making sure others feel confident & comfortable in front of the camera and we are excited to say that we are looking forward to our next shoot with Karisa in the future!"

"Karisa was an absolute joy to work with during our wedding day. An overwhelming theme among our guests was “your photographer was fantastic!” Karisa was communicative leading up to, during, and after the wedding, flexible, easy to work with, and had so many great photo ideas up her sleeve. She captured all the special details during the day, and was prepared even when I was not. Book Karisa for all your photographer needs, you won’t regret it!"
