I'm Karissa, a lover of all things exploring and nature. My husband (and second shooter) Mike and I spend most of our free time hiking, camping, and falling more in love with each excursion. Travel has been a huge part of our story, and if you've found your way to this corner of the internet, it's probably a huge part of yours, too. Over the course of my wedding photography journey, I have fallen

in love again and again with couples' stories, sense of adventure, free spirits, and their unconditional commitment to each other. I feel like the luckiest person in the world each time a couple asks me to help capture the start of one their best adventure yet!

It was perfect summer evening wedding for Victoria & Charlie with painted skies, Lani the adorable pup, full moons and these two who are the real deal ✨ We couldn’t have been more thrilled to be there documenting each moment as it unfolded.

Thanks to the wonderful Bea who second shot with me on this one and all of the incredible vendors who made the day so special:

Ani & I were both stung by bees this warm summer night in the desert but that didn’t even matter because the light painting this landscape was so spectacular it was impossible not to be on a high (new piercings and all 🐝). Getting to hang out with Ani & Evan as they kick off their engagement was so special and I loved getting to know more about these two as we climbed around the rocks. Thanks, you two, for letting me tag along!

I love mornings like this. Meeting up in the wee hours so that we can be blanketed with that golden light as the sun rises over the rocks. Nadeige & Liam are the real deal and exploring Joshua Tree with them was so lovely, so heartfelt and so fun. The way they are relaxed with each other, how they melt into each other and make each other laugh- it was truly infectious. I loved every minute of documenting this morning ❤️

And just like that our 2023 season comes to an end 🥂Happy NYE, all! It’s been a tough personal year for me but an absolutely wonderful year with the wildflower family. You all kept me positive, creative and filled with love despite some hard and challenging times personally. The desert sunsets, the mountain sunrises, the vows, the first dances and getting to work side by side with some absolutely incredible people. I am forever grateful and so dang lucky to do what I do ❤️ 2024 is looking quite bright and I can’t wait to turn the page and jump in with next years couples. Let’s do this thing 🙌

I’ve been a bit MIA over the last month as I’ve gone back and forth from Arizona to California to help my dad recover from heart surgery and wrap up my season. It’s all gone by in a blur and I’m sitting on so many wonderful photos with wonderful humans that I promise to start sharing ❤️ We’ll be taking the next few weeks to rest, recouperate and enjoy the holidays with family and then we’ll be back next year with a lot of exciting weddings again. I’m very excited for our 2024 couples. Something is telling me it’s going to be a special year. Thank you everyone who has reached out with love and support. It means the world. Sending a happy holiday wishes to all of you!

What. A. Day. These two made our jobs incredibly easy with endless moments of love filling the day from beginning to end. I definitely took more photos than normal with this one because it was just that beautiful, raw and emotion-filled. It was truly wonderful to be able to candidly capture each moment as it unfolded and wonderful to have Jason second shooting with me on this one❤️ Congratulations, you two! Vendors-

Two years ago today, after a bomb cyclone tumbled through Mammoth Lakes, Allie and Eric exchanged vows in one of the most memorable wedding days we’ve ever experienced. From their sunrise first look surrounded by nothing but untouched snow and an alpenglow that warmed up the mountain tops with it’s rosey light to their intimate ceremony with snow blanketing the ground, their family surrounding them and fall foliage framing the canopy above them- it was truly spectacular from beginning to end ❤️ The whole trip was an epic adventure and they were so down for it- but if you know these two, you know that’s just who they are. They live life to the fullest together and everything about how this story played out seemed so perfectly them. Happy anniversary, you two!

If you know these two, you immediately know that they found each other’s forever person in one another ✨

From my very first call with Melanie & Heather, I could tell they were the real deal, adored each other and have wildflower spirits that I can immediately relate to. They flew across the country and did a week trip exploring the coastline, Sequoia National Park and then ended up in Joshua Tree where I met them for their epic elopement day. They exchanged vows, with their son officiating, amongst the Joshua Trees, towering boulders and a spectacularly vivid sunset that only the desert can paint.

The night ended with cake, their first dance to Cover Me Up by Jason Isbell (big love!) and stargazing as the Milky Way made its appearance. It was adventurous, romantic, wild at heart and perfectly them. I wish I could live it again! But for now- some sneak peeks will have to do ❤️

I don’t know if it gets much better than ending your elopement day under a blanket of stars ✨ The perfect way to wrap up Heather & Melanie’s day. I absolutely adored documenting these two and their wonderful family. I can’t wait to delve more into some sneak peeks but had to share this epic sky.

-Karissa & Mike

We’re Karissa and Mike!

Our happy place is exploring the outdoors together with our dog, Remus. As kids both of our families spent free time in nature. Karissa grew up traveling with her family to the mountains and splashing around in lakes. Mike’s spent summers chasing fireflies and making tree forts with his siblings. Those cozy memories are some of our happiest. All of those years of falling in love with the outdoors are so much a part of who we are today. Our hearts are most full while hiking, camping, road tripping or sitting around a campfire with the people we love.
