  • Serves Garden Valley, CA

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.

Ethereal, candid, jovial, refined are some of the buzzwords that the images of our oak tree & hanging lights, spring evening, 100 person ranch wedding brings to mind. Carissa made sure to get an idea of our and our family's priorities and vision for our wedding day photography months in advance. As the day approached she nailed down specifics of timing and herding those dear to us to capture everything we wanted! She has an eye for catching family dynamics, sweet background moments, and her whole team is quick to drop to the floor to get the perfect golden hour angle, play with long exposure, or get some kids laughing! They coordinated wonderfully with our other vendors throughout the day on things like equipment positioning and audio capture. We knew we would love any photos of us as a couple on the happiest day of our lives, but the width of their professional and personal vision for the whole picture is what truly captured our hearts. Thank you Dugonis for loving on us!

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Awarded Best of Zola
We loved Isaac and his wife, Jing, who photographed our wedding earlier this month. Isaac was super calm and collected and on top of everything. His photography style was perfect for us. He already delivered about half of our retouched photos a week after the wedding which was insane and I love every single one. He was flexible with the 5 flower girls we had in and out of pictures and the multiple areas on our venue property. Overall an amazing experience and I recommend his work to anyone and everyone looking. He was very considerate when I first reached out about his work and wanted to use him and was very mindful of his travel fees to fit in our budget.

Little did I know that was the start of... More on my website!

I strive to provide all my clients with expert photography services and an exceptional experience.

Awarded Best of Zola
We searched and spoke with many photographers because we had a clear vision for our elopement, and it was important that our photographer truly understood it. Once we found Kin Photography, we immediately knew we were in the best hands. His communication style was organized, attentive, down‑to‑earth, and never pushy. He’s just an all around good guy and it was a pleasure working with him at every step of the way. We eloped in the high desert of the Eastern Sierras and wanted someone who could showcase the beauty of the landscape, not just take hundreds of close‑ups of our faces. Kin captured every special moment of our elopement day with incredible efficiency and an eye for detail that far exceeded our expectations. He genuinely understood & was excited about our vision. As someone who often feels awkward in front of a camera, I worried that would show in our photos. Kin eased all of our nerves by offering gentle direction and incorporating fun, creative ideas beyond the typical wedding poses. His passion for his craft is clearly evident, and it shines through in the quality of his work. The turnaround time for our photos was fast. When I saw our wedding photos online, I was speechless. They were stunningly beautiful. Our only challenge now is choosing which photos to print and display because there are so many gorgeous ones to pick from. I’m not sure how we are going to decide. Both sides of our family said the same thing. But that’s a good problem to have! Kin truly went above and beyond our expectations. We highly recommend him to any couple planning their wedding and especially recommend him for elopement couples. We couldn’t be happier with the service and product Kin photography provided. If we ever need a photographer again, there’s no question, we would certainly call Kin.

I’m a wine country native and learned the photographic arts from my family. My early travels and studies in the art & humanities opened my horizons to culture and diversity, plus I'm of mixed ethnicity. I really enjoy photographing weddings, because it has influenced me in a variety of unexpected and good ways. Each wedding has their own uniqueness, personality, and beauty. My life experience in wedding, portrait, & event photography has been a very gratifying and fulfilling journey. I’ve been pro wedding photographer for over 15yrs, and I’m insured.

I couldn’t be happier choosing Marc to photograph our wedding! From the very beginning, he was incredibly professional and attentive, making sure he understood exactly what we wanted. He photographed our engagement photos too and even rescheduled at no extra cost when the weather was too foggy for the scenery we wanted. On the big day, Marc blended seamlessly into the background while capturing every precious moment beautifully. The photos are nothing short of spectacular—each one highlights the love and magic of the day and perfectly captures the emotion and joy we felt. We’ve received countless compliments on the quality of the images and how they captured each moment of our wedding.

A photographer with 10 years of experience specializing in love stories, portraiture, and immortalizing a moment filled to the brim with feeling. I’m French, which means I have aways been attracted to beauty, art, and romance & love to have a good time; my photography embodies this. When I am not behind the camera I enjoy eating good food and drinking wine (again, I’m French), going on roadtrips with my wonderful boyfriend, Max, and cuddling up with a good book - my favorite is The Pillars of the Earth - and my cutie pie cat, Jack.

*(Please excuse me while I pick up my jaw off the floor!) I am still in total awe of these photos. They are literally perfection. I posted our engagement photos about a week ago on social media and I still am getting non-stop comments from friends and friends of friends about how great they are, and honestly, I couldn't agree more. I had a vision of what I wanted my engagement photos to look like and Coco made that dream come true, but even better than what I could have imagined. Coco is such an incredibly talented photographer, but one of the things that make her so great is her direction, communication, and just how much fun you have with her! And all of that is CRUCIAL to getting good photos. The turnaround time for the photos was quicker than most photographers I've worked with, which I appreciated so much because I couldn't wait to see them!

Hi, I am Makenna! I am from Dallas but will travel anywhere in the world to capture your love. I specialize in elopements, weddings, 35mm film, super 8 video, and vintage camcorder. My focus when approaching capturing wedding days is to document those intimate, tender in-between moments. That way, when you look back on these pictures on your 10th, 30th, 50th wedding anniversary, you'll be reminded of those sweet moments of the most amazing day of your life.

I reached out to Makenna for our engagement pictures, she was so sweet and made our session so relaxed and fun! She directed us on how to pose and was able to capture real laughs and emotions. We loved her so much we asked her to come to Dominican Republic to capture our wedding! She set up two meetings prior to the wedding and responded to countless questions and suggestions. She ended up staying the weekend of the wedding and was able to capture our welcome party, pool day, rehearsal and of course the wedding day. She not only was our photographer throughout the weekend but became our friend, as well as friends with all of our other guests! We all loved her and we are so happy she was apart of the best weekend of our lives! We will definitely use her again!
