Dream Capture Studios

I’m Carissa, a California-based wedding photographer specializing in true-to-color editing, candid documentary coverage, and natural, editorial-style portraits. My work focuses on real connection, emotional storytelling, and the in-between moments that define a wedding day. With more than a decade of experience, I photograph weddings with an intentional, relaxed approach that helps couples feel comfortable, authentic, and fully present. My husband, Tyler, joins me as our videographer, bringing the same warm, storytelling-driven style to every celebration.

My background in the live music industry gives me strong low-light skills and the ability to handle fast, unpredictable moments and large groups. I know how to read light quickly and capture real emotion as it happens, always watching for the small moments that often go unnoticed. Before going full-time with weddings, I worked as a photo editor for Lulus, where I was trained in skin retouching and color correction, giving every gallery a natural, polished, & editorial look.
