More About Me
It's more Than a Production
I want these memories to be the springboard for all your future adventures together.
The time you guys are laughing so hard you almost cry. The one where you reach the top together and read your vows. And the time you do something so thrilling it leaves you so, so euphoric. These are memories that will last a lifetime. It's about the romance, the grandeur, about you two having the most fun day that you want to do over and over again, but most importantly just you two being together.

"I would give Clarissa 100 stars if I could! She made our special day PERFECT. We knew we wanted to get married in Zion and she made the process so smooth for us. Her energy throughout the day was so uplifting and fun and by the end of the day she felt like family! The photos exceeded my expectations in every way. Clarissa was hyping us up constantly while she was taking them, so that and with our newlywed bliss truly helped create the photos of our dreams. Everything felt so natural. Clarissa is not just an elopement "photographer", she's a planner, snack maker, coordinator, enthusiastic vibe bringer, photographer, and friend all in one." - Anna & Jake.

One of the things I wanted was to have a private vow exchange in a slot canyon and she literally found a hidden canyon that was totally UNTOUCHED.

"Clarissa hands down made our wedding day the best day of our lives. We found her through extensive internet searches and loved her work. Our experience with her just got better! We had no idea what we wanted. Clarissa planned every detail from the locations we took pictures at, to having the ceremony at Horseshoe Bend, the permits, the timeline, her husband was even our officiant. Once we received the photos we were blown away. She truly captured our day perfectly. Clarissa's talent is unmatched, and her kind demeanor was an added benefit. I would choose her to be our photographer over and over again!"

"All I can say is that Clarissa is amazing and you will not be disappointed! She made the whole process easy. Even when I changed our October date to April, she just rolled with it. From the start, Clarissa did a great job giving us options and scouting locations so that I felt relaxed and knew that we had a good plan on how the day would flow. I was worried about how my husband would handle photos, but Clarissa made everything so easy that he was totally at ease the whole time. Then the icing on the cake was the album! It was just beautiful and brought the day to life all over again! Thank you Clarissa for making our day so special!"

"Clarissa is amazing and you will not be disappointed! The most important thing to me was a shot that that captured the beautiful Tahoe setting and us, so that we could have a piece of art not just a wedding photo. Clarissa delivered so many that I can't choose! She made the whole process easy. Even when I changed our October date to April, she just rolled with it. Not being able to make a "reservation" with a venue made eloping scary for me.

"As a hobbyist photographer, choosing a photographer was always hard to come by since I could never find somebody to replicate what I would want. Clarissa hit the nail on the head from the very beginning. Do yourselves a favor - bask in the moment and let Clarissa capture it."
