"Clarissa made our wedding day the best day of our lives! We had no idea what we wanted - Clarissa planned everything from the different locations, permits, timeline, etc. Once we received the photos we were blown away! Her talent is unmatched, and her kind demeanor was an added benefit. I would choose her over and over again."
– Brigitte + Tyler, Eloped at Horseshoe Bend
"I'm SO GLAD we picked Clarissa!! We aren't comfortable in front of the camera, but when we met nervousness faded away! She went above & beyond to make our day special and her joy is contagious! We were able to relax and know we were in good hands. And the photos are absolutely stunning. I cannot recommend Clarissa enough!
– Julia + Gunnar, Eloped in Yosemite National Park
"Clarissa's style is perfect for how special outdoor ceremonies are. We wanted a minimal ceremony in a breathtaking location;Clarissa helped us coordinate planning with Arches National Park and also acted as our officiant! Our day wouldn't have been what it was without her help, and she was so easy to work with at every step. Easy five stars."
– Jess + Pascal, Eloped in Arches National Park
"Clarissa is amazing & you won't be disappointed! Not being able to make a "reservation" like you normally would with a venue made eloping a very scary thing for me. Clarissa did a great job giving us options & scouting locations so that we felt relaxed & totally at ease. I can't recommend Clarissa enough. Thank you for making our day so special!
– Holly + Dustin, Eloped in Lake Tahoe
“Throughout our entire wedding process we felt like Clarissa wasn’t just our photographer but she quickly became our best friend. We knew we were in great hands. The photos came out absolutely breathtaking! Every time we look at our pictures it takes us right back to that unforgettable day. We trusted her vision and we could not have been happier!"
– Katie + Addison, Eloped in Yosemite National Park

"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. 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. 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, coordinator, snack maker, enthusiastic vibe bringer, photographer, and friend all in one."
– Anna & Jake, Eloped in Zion National Park
“Hiring Clarissa was hands down one of the BEST choices we made for our wedding. Our wedding day would not have been the same without her! We couldn't have planned things better if we tried, and this wouldn't have been possible without Clarissa! She helped us with the permits and planning, and was SO fast to answer any questions. Once in Yosemite, she met with us the day before to discuss all the details and scouted all the locations so she was more than prepared! I haven’t even mentioned the actual pictures yet which are STUNNING! She is such a talented photographer with such a beautiful romantic vision and somehow she managed to make us FULLY comfortable in front of the camera. Clarissa is someone that has an attention to detail that doesn’t come naturally to many people. She is so patient and thoughtful I could keep going on forever with compliments. If you have any doubts BOOK HER. You won’t regret it!”
– Gabriela + Christopher, Eloped in Yosemite National Park
Clarissa really is the sweetest, kindest, and most caring person and it showed on our wedding day! Her patience, kindness, and generosity was a beautiful touch to the day and I could not imagine a more perfect fit for our photographer. We had the best time! She made it such a fun experience. Her ideas and images she wants to capture are so amazing to see when it’s executed and exactly how she thought! Working with her felt like we were just hanging out and having a good time. I am not one to love getting photos taken of myself but when working with Clarissa she makes it super enjoyable and effortless! In building our relationship with Clarissa our family will always choose to work with her when we need some beautiful photos taken! Thank you, my friend!”
