Imagery by Carissa Dugoni is a Stockton, CA-based wedding photography and cinematography studio rooted in intentional storytelling, refined aesthetics, and genuine human connection. Our work is designed for couples who value presence over performance and want their wedding day documented with honesty, artistry, and care.
At the heart of our approach is a documentary foundation paired with thoughtful guidance. We believe the most meaningful images are created when couples feel comfortable, unhurried, and fully immersed in their day. Rather than forcing moments or rigid poses, we focus on capturing real emotion, subtle interactions, and the in-between details that often become the most treasured memories. When direction is needed, it is calm, natural, and intentional — never intrusive.
From inquiry to final delivery, our process is highly personalized and collaborative. Every couple receives planning support and timeline guidance to ensure the photography experience feels seamless and stress-free. We work closely with our couples and vendor teams to create space for both beautiful imagery and genuine moments to unfold organically. On the wedding day, our presence is professional, unobtrusive, and grounded, allowing you to stay present while we document your story as it naturally happens.
Following your celebration, images are carefully curated and professionally edited to reflect a timeless, true-to-life aesthetic. Galleries are delivered with intention, emphasizing storytelling over volume. For couples who wish to preserve their wedding beyond the screen, we offer heirloom wedding albums crafted with premium archival materials — designed as complete visual narratives meant to be revisited for generations.
Our collections are built for couples who want their full story told, not rushed or reduced. Wedding photography coverage begins at $4,000, with most couples investing between $5,500 and $7,500 for comprehensive coverage, second photographers, and signature offerings. Cinematography collections and custom photo + video experiences are also available.
Imagery by Carissa Dugoni serves weddings throughout California and select destinations. We are honored to work with couples who value intentional design, emotional storytelling, and a photography experience that feels as meaningful as the images themselves.

- Carissa DugoniOwner/PhotographerHello! I'm Carissa :) I was born and raised in beautiful California. I started my photography business as a senior in highschool, and went full-time into it in 2020. Since then, we have grown into a small (but mighty) team of photographer's and videographer's who love what we do!
- Tyler DugoniCinematographerMy name is Tyler! I have devoted the past 8 years of my life to cinematography and videography. I co-run a live performance production company called CaliberTV that has surpassed 32 million collective views on YouTube and have toured with Vans Warped Tour creating live videos for them. I have found a passion in filming weddings over the last few years and look forward to years of creating stunning artwork for our couples!

If there is anything you must do for your wedding day, it's choose Dream Capture Studios for photography and videography. They went above and beyond to make sure our day was great ...
and the memories were captured beautifully. Their level of professionalism is unmatched and we couldn't be more glad that we hired them to make our day so special. Carissa and Tyler are incredibly friendly and they made my husband and I feel very comfortable in front of the camera. We absolutely will recommend Dream Capture Studios to anyone who asks us about wedding vendors.

Carissa (and Tyler) were and absolute dream to work with! We instantly clicked with them during our consultation phone call and knew they were the ones. During the photoshoot, Cari...
ssa and Tyler were incredibly patient and helpful with positioning us, despite my fiancee's and my awkward fumbling. They were so charming and charismatic that we didn't want the session to end just so we could talk more! During the wedding they were even better. They blended into the background perfectly, so much so that we didn't even know they were present to get most of the shots they did! Carissa and Tyler are genuinely two of the kindest, most talented individuals and we cannot recommend them enough. We're sad our wedding is over just because it means we can't work with them anymore! If you want to have gorgeous, creative shots for your wedding, you NEED to contract Dream Capture Studios immediately. Thank you again Carissa & Tyler for making our day special!

Carissa and Tyler of Dream Capture were absolutely incredible to work with for our wedding. They are both so fun and personable, which made us feel super comfortable during our eng...
agement shoot. On the day of the wedding, they were with us the entire day and were a dream to work with. They are both so talented and they captured so many amazing moments with an amazing eye for details. We continue to get compliments on how beautiful and dreamy our pictures are. The quality of the photobook and flashdrive included in our package was also so much more than we expected. I cannot recommend Carissa and Dream Capture enough! Thank you for making our day unforgettable❤️
