Hey friends! 👋

I’m currently out of the office until November 12th, but don’t worry — I’ll still be popping in to check emails and messages when I can. Please bear with me as responses might take a little longer than usual.

Editing is going well (yay!), and while I’m away I’m still here for you! All clients have been updated, but if you have any questions or need anything, feel free to reach out. ✨

Quick heads up — I still have a few spots left for my Christmas Bo***ir Minis at the end of the month, so if that’s something you’ve been eyeing, now’s the time to book! Link in bio. 🎄

And just to add to the whirlwind… I’ve got some visitors in town and we’re moving out to the bush on a five-acre property (yep, you read that right!). It’s all happening, and I’m loving every second of it. Life’s busy, but it’s also pretty amazing right now. 💫

Catch you all soon, and thanks for your patience!

Hugs Carissa xoxo

It's that final rush of excitement, nerves, and maybe a quick snack (because, let's be real, you're gonna need energy for that dance floor!). But no matter how chaotic those last-minute details get, it’s all part of the magic. Deep breath, you’ve got this—now let’s go get you married! 💍💃

𝐈 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐬𝐮𝐜𝐡 𝐚 ‘𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐲’ 𝐣𝐨𝐛!
Some days, it really hits me how incredibly lucky I am to do what I do. Sure, I get paid for it, but this “job” is so much more than just work to me. Every wedding, every elopement, every intimate moment I capture is a chance to give back, to celebrate love in all its beautiful, diverse forms.
I don’t take a single moment of this lightly—each click of the shutter is filled with intention, with care, and with pure joy.
Last week, I had the absolute honour of photographing Brooke and Baylie’s secret elopement, and let me tell you, it was nothing short of spectacular! 🌈✨ Their love story is one of resilience, laughter, and deep, unconditional love. The way they looked at each other, the way they smiled, and how they truly saw one another was pure magic. These are the moments I live for—the moments that make my heart soar and remind me why I love what I do.

Congratulations, Brooke and Baylie! Your love is an inspiration, and your wedding day was just as stunning as the bond you share. Here’s to a lifetime of love, laughter, and endless adventures together!

𝑺𝒐𝒑𝒉𝒊𝒂 ♡ 𝑴𝒊𝒄𝒉𝒂𝒆𝒍

After eight amazing years together, Micheal decided it was the perfect time to pop the question, and it was absolutely magical!
On a dreamy trip to Bali in February 2023, they stayed at the stunning Maya Resort in Ubud. Michael planned a day of pampering that was pure romance. As night fell, they headed to a beautifully decorated spot for dinner, unaware it was all set up just for them. 🌸

The surprise? Michael had arranged for a custom menu and the ring appeared inside a carved coconut—he even managed to bring it on the plane! The ring was the exact one from their vision board. 💍

Here’s to love that surprises and delights, making dreams come true in the most enchanting ways!

Congratulations Mr and Mrs Whalley. Your day was spectacular and I am truly honoured as always to have been chosen to capture your most special day!

The Old Dairy Maleny
20 . 08 . 24

Brooke and Baylie first met on a camping trip organized by a mutual friend. While surrounded by the great outdoors, Baylie made a lasting impression. After months of chatting, he took a bold step—sneaking into Brooke’s room at 2am and asking her to be his girlfriend.

The rest, as they say, is history.

Their love has been tested and strengthened over the years. Two years ago, Brooke faced a challenging accident that left her with a permanent disability. But Baylie stood by her side through every tear and triumph. He was her rock, her biggest cheerleader, and the one who held her close during countless moments of struggle and healing. Brooke’s journey to recovery, including learning to walk again, was made easier with Baylie’s unwavering support and love. For this, she will forever be grateful.
On their special day, Brooke’s unique touch shone through with her custom-designed white crocs—a symbol of her resilience and creativity. They chose to keep their elopement intimate with just 10 cherished guests at The Old Dairy Maleny, a picturesque backdrop that perfectly captured their love.

The celebration continued last night with a reception on the Gold Coast, surrounded by all their loved ones. From their heartfelt vows to their lively reception, Brooke and Baylie’s story is a beautiful testament to enduring love and unwavering support.

Here’s to a future filled with love, laughter, and countless adventures together! Congrats Lovers!

Sometimes, the most beautiful love stories are the ones that unfold slowly, like a gentle sunrise.

It’s not the sudden spark but the gradual warmth that makes every moment precious. With each passing day, the bond deepens, the connection strengthens, and the appreciation grows.

A slow-burning love that turns into a lifelong flame. 🔥❤️

Yesterday, Alex and Sam stood before family and friends and said their forever “I do” overlooking the ocean at Emu Park. It’s hard to believe that not long ago, Alex was stuck in Cambodia without a visa to return to Vietnam, and Sam was on the phone to her credit card company in Australia, sorting out flights amidst the chaos. It was in that moment Alex knew—if Sam could handle her kind of madness and still be there to help so early on, they could face anything together.

Their love was celebrated in style, with a reception at The Haven and a first dance beneath a sky lit with fireworks—a truly magical night.

There’s so much more to say about this incredible wedding, but I’ll leave it here for now. Stay tuned this week for more highlights. I’m absolutely captivated.

Alex and Sam congratulations!

Those quick glances, shared smiles, or the way your fingers find each other’s without thinking. It’s in these small, stolen moments where the real story of your day is told. They’re not posed, not planned, but they’re the ones you’ll remember most. ​​​​​​​​​

This day was nothing short of exceptional, filled with the kind of love that lights up the world. 🌈

Witnessing and capturing their love, celebrated exactly as they envisioned, was a beautiful reminder that love is love, in all its unique and wonderful forms. From their intimate ceremony to a stunning bo***ir shoot back at their city home, every moment was a celebration of their deep connection and the life they’ve built together.
