Karissa Roe Photography

ile planning and the day of and even gave us our full gallery in just under four weeks! i couldn’t believe how quick we got our photos back and how beautiful they are!

nuary 2020 wedding in California.  Karissa is such a sweet person and incredibly fast at answering emails/messages and any questions we had along the way!  Whenever she said she would get something out to us by a certain date, she would always make sure to have it done on time or sooner. Karissa really went above and beyond for us, including showing up early on our wedding day, to getting our sneak preview out to us the day after our wedding, and our full and edited gallery finished exactly 4 weeks after our wedding day!! We are so grateful to have been able to work with someone who worked so hard to make sure everything was perfect for our special day.  We absolutely loved our photos from our engagement photo shoot and our wedding day. Karissa is so talented at working with lighting and finding beautiful places to shoot photos.  We had such a hard time deciding on photos to use for our invitations/thank you cards/etc. because we loved all of them!  Karissa gave us a questionnaire to fill out before the wedding to make sure that she got photos of everything we wanted on our wedding day.  She and her second photographer Natalie definitely got all of the shots we had asked for, and more.  They took photos of so many special details that I had forgotten to add on to the questionnaire, and I'm so happy they did!  And even though our ceremony ran quite a bit longer than we expected, Karissa did a great job of getting all of the family group photos we had asked for.  She was so calm and patient with us even though things were pretty hectic since we needed to be out at a certain time.  During the reception, Karissa captured so many special moments between my husband and I as well as our family and friends.  I am so happy we chose Karissa to be our photographer and I would definitely recommend her!!

professional. We were getting very frustrated because time was running out, and then we found Karissa and everything changed. I met Karissa at a cute bubble tea place that she recommended, and immediately I felt her happiness and warmth. She was just genuinely sweet and professional. She went over her contract with me clause by clause so we were on the same page, and then we IMMEDIATELY started planning the engagement shoot. With the engagement shoot, Karissa went above and beyond. Not only hiking through 2 feet of snow for four hours with us, but also hiking that same exact route the day before to make sure it was perfect for us! The picture return time for this was amazingly fast at only 2 weeks! We were thrilled! When it came time for us to get married, Karissa was EARLY to our big day and was able to capture every. Single. Detail. She was so good directing our families and wedding party... AND GOT OUR PICTURES BACK IN A MONTH! There were several things that happened along the way that were personal favors she absolutely did not have to agree to do, but she did. Her attitude was all about making our experience magical. She dressed professionally, she behaved in a way friends found fun, and grammas found appropriate. She was quick, made us feel like the most attractive couple ever, and had an amazing second shooter!! I can’t say anything negative about our experience with Karissa, and if you’re looking for a photographer who will meet EVERY ONE OF YOUR NEEDS, this one is perfect for you! 10/10 would recommend

y capture the essence of love between couples. She was willing to travel 5 hours away to meet us at The Painted Hills in Eastern Oregon and not only captured the love between us, but showcased the amazingly beautiful location we were so excited to see. Not to mention, she's great at making you feel comfortable and helps you navigate posing in ways that are flattering and beautiful. All around amazing photographer!

gorgeous vision, is kind, punctual, and just absolutely incredible. She even sent a "Bride Guide" before our engagement session and a wonderful gift after the wedding! We received the most gorgeous wedding photos that I can't wait to cherish for the rest of my life. She is just above and beyond, I would recommend Karissa to anyone and everyone. We were blessed to have her as part of our day and if we had to do the day over again, we would 100% have Karissa as our photographer again! :) Thank you, Karissa!

e a package that fit our needs and budget, and even sent me coffee and chocolate.... which confirmed we chose the perfect person! During the months leading up to the wedding I got very busy at work and very sick, so I took a ridiculous amount of time to respond to messages, and Karissa didn’t even bat an eye. Very professional and easy to work with. The actual wedding day was no different. We got married at 9 am in the mountains, hours from where Karissa lives, and she was the first one there, and still had perfect communication, even with the very little phone reception we had. Karissa did an amazing job of taking photos while dealing with the sunlight, my family, and the heat. I was a little nervous for photos with just my husband and I, because the last photos we had taken as a couple was very awkward, and the lady did not like our dog. Karissa was nothing like that. She was great around our dog (made sure to get photos of her too!) and nothing was super awkward or forced. In fact, my husband and I had so much fun getting our pictures taken. She was by far the smoothest part of our day, and now I have BEAUTIFUL photos for life. Definitely recommend Karissa Roe Photography.

rtable and answered every question that we had. She even traveled across the state to take our engagement photos for us! On the day of our wedding, she was careful to ensure that every photo request we had was captured. We also had a Catholic wedding ceremony at a church that had rather dark lighting. I was nervous that photos may not turn out very well (flash was not allowed), but Karissa was able to make all the church photos look vibrant and bright! We received first look photos the day after our wedding and our whole wedding album within 4 weeks! We are so happy that we were able to work with Karissa and would highly recommend her to anyone!

otographer for their special day! As a person who is incredibly shy in front of a camera, I was stressed about how awkward I would be in front of the camera or how forced the posing would feel, but Karissa made us feel at ease from the very first moment we met and I was able to be fully present in my husband’s company the entire time. She does an amazing job of balancing the “posed” pictures (which came out incredible) and candid shots (my husband’s first look picture has us both smiling ear to ear). In the days leading up to our wedding, she worked closely with us to develop our day-of timeline so that we would be able to have each of the events of the day occur in a schedule that made sense and so that we could sneak out during dinner to get those magical golden hour photos taken. She was a delight and we are so thankful for her keen eye and wedding vision.

- she is so professional but also has a way of making you feel so comfortable with the process. She listened to what we wanted and offered great artistic vision as well. I wish we could do the whole thing over again, but I get to look through my album and feel like I am reliving it all :). I did not understand how important a good photographer is until I went through our wedding album. We will cherish these moments captured so beautifully forever! I am thrilled with our choice of Karissa.

ement photos, to the big day itself. Karissa is very talented and its obvious that she has a true vision behind every shot that she takes. She showed up early to scout our wedding location and she walked us through everything that she was thinking. She gave us so much confidence that it was like a weight lifted off our shoulders during a time when we were stressed about all the other planning involved. For both the engagement and wedding photos, she always delivered an amazing preview set of photos the next day. Looking back on everything, having Karissa do our wedding photos may be the best decision that we made. We couldn't be happier with how our photos turned out and we would recommend her again and again!

ul, really supporting our organization and planning. During the wedding day, Karissa's professionalism and personality MADE THE DAY EVEN BETTER: she was calm, positive, timely, supportive, organized and just overall WONDERFUL. But, of course the best part--our pictures! WE LOVE THEM! They are a perfect representation of all aspects of our wedding--what made it special to us, who made it special, the environment, and the looks on our faces. Thank you SO MUCH Karissa for your much-appreciated skills!

dding day. She always answered emails and questions promptly. She made a detailed day of wedding timeline-and made sure everything happened perfectly! She delivered a sneak preview of 37 photos at 1pm- THE DAY AFTER THE WEDDING! I was so happy and shocked. She is amazing and don’t even consider going with anyone else:)

to find a photographer. But I cannot stress enough how worth the search Karissa was. The photos she took for our engagement shoot and 8/12/18 wedding blow me away every time I look at them. They are just SO BEAUTIFUL. And Karissa is so amazing, she takes everything in stride and really keeps everything so organized and together. Our day of schedule got very cramped in places and she kept us on track. I think she's a bit of a magician personally, because we were running 20 minutes late for family portraits, and we still ended on time--amazing! Her artistic style was also exactly what we wanted, my husband and I knew we wanted a lot of candid shots of all of our favorite people enjoying themselves at our wedding. Not to mention the many moments during the day when we would look at each other and just get so excited that we had finally done it! And Karissa knocked it out of the park, we have so many photos of beloved moments that bring back such wonderful memories. We definitely will spend many moments in the future crying over the memories, because the photos just take us back immediately! I can't wait until my husband and I have another big life event to celebrate, because you better believe we'll be reaching out to Karissa again so she can work her magic some more.

ns. In addition to the beautifully crafted and posed shots she got, there are so many candid moments as well. Karissa has the talent to freeze moments of time in her pictures; moments of time that we had no idea she captured. Her stealth is just one of her incredible photographer traits! We originally booked with a photographer who offered a deal that was too good to be true; and it was. After our engagement shoot with our original photographer, we were underwhelmed with the pictures and her lack of preparation. Our friends’ had Karissa Roe as their wedding photographer, and we knew she was amazing. We called her two days after our disappointing engagement shoot, and thankfully she was still available for our wedding date! I can’t put into words how much of a relief it was having Karissa booked. We were ecstatic! We already loved her work from our friends’ wedding, so we knew we were in great hands. Her photography packages are worth every penny. We’re so thankful we were able to book with Karissa. She takes the time to prepare and makes you feel like the top priority. Our engagement shoot pictures blew us away. Her ability to frame shots is incredible. On this day it was raining, but we were actually happy about that. We had seen the things she’s able to do with rain! There are so many beautiful images from that day and we’re so grateful to have our engagement bliss forever saved. There is a lot that goes into planning a wedding (as most everyone knows) and it’s a great feeling not having to worry at all about the photography. Karissa is on top of everything. Leading up to the wedding she checks-in at different points to gather information so there aren’t any questions on the actual day. She is very organized and her magazine was a huge help for us when we were determining our wedding day timeline. I truly cannot speak enough good things about Karissa. Her talent, professionalism, patience, kindness, work ethic, and passion are amazing. Not to mention her awesome leadership; we had a bridal party of 22 and she expertly directed everyone. She has the ability to make us feel at ease in front of the camera and her constant words of praise make you feel so confident. I have no idea how Karissa and her 2nd photographer, Nadia (who was also amazing!), were able to get so many different angles and shots. There are a wide variety of pictures in our portfolio. I’ve gone through our album at least 20 times now, and I fall more in love with these priceless pictures each time. It’s hard to put to words just how much we appreciate Karissa. We’ll always treasure our beautiful pictures and the memories they remind us of. We enthusiastically, wholeheartedly recommend Karissa Roe Photography to anyone looking for an experienced, creative, and passionate photographer. Thank you, Karissa, for putting so much time and effort into our special day. You have given us the greatest wedding gift.

ple or people that enjoy being photographed, so we were a little worried at the thought of spending hours taking photos. This worry turned out to be unfounded because Karissa made us feel very comfortable with skillful direction and we ended up with beautiful natural-looking photos that we are super happy with! A photographer is also a significant part of your wedding day, and Karissa was such a great person to have as part of ours. She’s very warm, genuine, and has an adventurous spirit! Some of our photos required hiking down a steep trail and climbing on slippery rocks and Karissa was totally game! We can’t say enough about how helpful Karissa was organizing last details of our ceremony and managing people for the group photos to stay within our timeline. She has mastered the balance of getting things done efficiently while being thoughtful and artistic. Everyone in our family loved her and commented on how great she was as well. Thank you so much Karissa! We are so grateful for the beautiful memories that you captured for us.

ssional, well organized, responsive and made our wedding photography flow so naturally and smooth that it only added to the charm of the day. And on top of that, the pictures came out ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS! She has a gift for capturing the moments in such a magical way. We do not hesitate to give her our highest recommendation possible. Karissa is incredible!

enthusiasm was infectious and we had a blast. She also understands the personal touches of the day as she made sure to ask what special items or moments she should be sure to capture. When the photos were delivered, we were blown away with the quality and the quantity. The portraits and detail shots are not only beautiful, but the candid shots of friends and family during the wedding will be equally precious. The magic of the day was truly captured. I cannot recommend Karissa highly enough.

ade sure she understood what we wanted and that she covered everything and more on the wedding day. I never had to worry about a thing with her. She did an amazing job getting not only staged photos at our wedding but candid shots we will cherish forever. She got parts of the wedding we weren’t able to see ourselves and that made the day that much more special. I would recommend her to anyone!

troms-level customer service with genuine photography talent! Karissa cares about every detail both in her phtography as well as the overall experience. Her positive demeaner and good-vibes put us in that optimal "picture taking" mode. She was so creative with her work and captured moments and scenes that look too good to be true. We're forever thankful she was part of our wedding experience. We genuinely feel that we are doing anybody who's reading this a serious favor! If you go with Karissa, you'll be glad you did. Karissa will make sure your perfect day is captured perfectly. She did for us!

this is a woman that is super passionate about what she does. She is confident with posing couples and families and is efficient in doing so, which was a great experience for us when you're trying to gather several different family members for family photos! Finding a great photographer was of utmost importance to us when searching for vendors and we are SO GRATEFUL that we found Karissa. Seriously, no complaints here. If you are still on your search, look no further. Karissa is your girl!

by years of experience, is obvious in all her amazing work. Karissa had great communication with us throughout the planning process and was always available to answer any questions. She even toured our Wenatchee venue with us several weeks before the wedding so we could scope out locations that we loved. Karissa is so hardworking, and you can tell that she pours her heart into her photography. We had a very intimate wedding, so we chose to have 3.5 hours of hourly coverage. Karissa arrived to my hotel room over an hour early to start taking detail photos. After our bridal photos, she zoomed off to take venue photos before the ceremony started. Somehow she managed to fit in photos of the certificate signing after our group portraits. I don’t know how she did it, but she was able to capture every moment of our wedding, even on a time crunch. Most importantly, Karissa made us feel SO comfortable and calm on our wedding day. She guided us through each pose with a smile on her face, and even when the weather went south, her positivity did not waver. She kept us on track with the timeline she created for us, and we knew that we could always look to her for direction. We received multiple compliments from our wedding guests on Karissa’s poise and professionalism. The wedding was stressful and chaotic at times, but it was such a relief to know that we could trust Karissa to do an amazing job. We loved each and every photo we received, and she truly made our big day so special and beautiful. We are BEYOND grateful for Karissa and her stunning photos, and we would recommend her whole-heartedly to any bride and groom who want memories that they can cherish for a lifetime!

back to you in a short amount of time. We received our wedding photos only 3 weeks after our wedding day. The photos were absolutely amazing! They truly captured the essence of our special day. Her pricing is very reasonable too. We had an engagement shoot, 8 hours of coverage on our wedding day, which included Karissa (of course) and a second photographer. I highly recommend adding the second photographer to your package with Karissa because we had complete coverage from every angle of our wedding with the two. Overall, my husband and I are VERY pleased and highly recommend Karissa as your wedding photographer.

o impressed that she is so knowledgeable about lighting, she knows exactly where the sun is and when is best to get that "golden hour" glow lighting! I found Karissa on instagram and she's a great follow! Her portfolio of work speaks volumes! Karissa and her second photographer were also super helpful during the shoots by telling us how to pose and where to go. I never know how to stand or if my hair is in my face but Karissa made sure I was all set!. My bridal party was large and pretty rowdy (read: a little drunk) and she got everyone gathered and we had a blast with the group shots! The group shots were so fun and went so smoothly! Also, we got our photos back so quickly! We got a sneak peak a few days after the wedding which was wonderful to share with family! Then our full album came back about 4 weeks after the wedding which was super fast from what I've been told from other brides. I would definitely recommend Karissa!

h friends and family a couple weeks after that. Karissa excelled across all of them. She is endlessly professional, and perhaps the most soothing person to have hovering next you, camera in hand, taking photos of the day. Regardless of the size of the event, Karissa put in just as much work for each of them by scouting out locations ahead of time, putting together thorough schedules, knowing the best people to contact, discussing exactly what we wanted out of our photos, answering a never-ending stream of questions via email—basically, everything that you would want out of a wedding photographer. Karissa’s business manner wasn’t the only thing that was fantastic—she is an absolutely phenomenal photographer. We have loved every photo that she has sent us, and her framing, vision, and color work is unmatched. Her work is like something out of a magazine, and somehow, the way she puts together her photos feels so lived-in and real. She’s not afraid to take inspiration from other photos and events—I especially loved one photo we took that had a gorgeous royal wedding vibe!—but she also truly captured the essence of our relationship. When I look at the photos Karissa took, they are beautiful and lovely and amazing, and most importantly, they feel like us. Karissa is the kindest soul you may ever meet. Everyone who met her and saw her at work has had only great things to say. We were truly blessed to have her at our side during such a special time of our lives. She is phenomenal.

hose great shots!
