Karissa Russ & Co.

We really enjoyed working with Karissa and her team. They made the pictures feel natural and comfortable. 5 stars to them as they made our special day the best!

Karissa is really great photographer, she made us feel very good, explained everything before the shoot. She teached us some poses, as it was our first photosession. She captured great moments, I totally recommend her! Vinga

THE BEST photographer in Las Vegas!! Karissa made my husband I feel so comfortable in front of the camera and she took us to some of the best spots for photo opportunities!! I cannot thank you enough for the beautiful pictures!!

Karissa is amazing! She went above and beyond for us and the photos don't lie

Karissa & her assistant Brooklyn were an absolute JOY to work with on our wedding day! We don't live in Las Vegas, so booking a photographer was a bit daunting. As soon as we spoke with her on the phone, we knew we were making a great choice. She was professional, helpful and overall so kind and inclusive. Her communication skills are top notch - everything was thoroughly explained and we always felt in the loop. On our wedding day she went above & BEYOND. Not only was she helping us feel comfortable in front of the camera, but she acted as an impromptu coordinator when we hit a few snags. We couldn't have done it without her. Trust the reviews and choose her! You will NOT regret it! - Brooke & Dan

Karissa is the best! We were nervous since neither one of us has really had our photos taken professionally but she made us feel so comfortable and it was fun! She’s easy going and super cool to work with and our wedding photos turned out so great. I smile big every time I look at them!! Thank you so much Karissa!!!!

She did an amazing job shooting our couples session and then our reception afterward - we absolutely love all of the photos! 😍 Not only was Karissa super friendly and professional, but she completely captured the DTLV vibe that we wanted! Our photos turned out so beautiful and we cannot recommend Karissa enough.

We were lucky to have Karissa as our photographer. She truly exceeded our expectations in every way. Karissa was the first vendor we hired right after our venue because we knew she had to be part of our team. We found her work on Instagram, and her photography style immediately resonated with us. Karissa’s ability to capture bright, natural, and candid moments was exactly what we envisioned for our wedding photos. Karissa is not only an incredibly talented photographer but also an awesome person who goes above and beyond. A standout moment was when she helped me in and out of my dress with her emergency crochet needle (lots of pearl buttons)—truly a lifesaver and a testament to her dedication. Karissa's assistant, Brooke, also captured some super cool behind-the-scenes videos throughout the day. We loved that so much because we were so busy and didn't have the chance to capture anything with our own phones. They were so good to look back on while waiting for the professional photos and videos. If you're looking for a photographer who not only has a stunning visual style but also cares deeply about their clients, look no further. We wholeheartedly recommend Karissa and her team.

I wish I could express how grateful I am to Karissa and the team for everything they did. Not only were they there to photograph my wedding but they were also the biggest cheerleaders. She made me feel so comfortable and seen. Karissa made the whole Las Vegas wedding experience magical. If you're thinking about hiring her, DO IT!!! this is your sign!

Karissa was an absolute joy on our big day. She was so kind, professional and made us feel so special. We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer. Our photos came out exactly how we had hoped. ❤️ She felt like one of our friends.

We are so.lucky we have found you. You're an amazing photographer, Karissa & a wonderful person. You were so accommodating, attentive & very helpful with all our photography needs. Thank you so much for being a part of our wedding and capturing all those precious moments that we will never forget. You're very easy to deal with, very professional and just fun to be with. You took the stress out especially when the weather was not our side during our photo shoots. You really make it easy for us before, during and after the wedding.

Karissa shot our getting-ready photos. She instantly felt like a friend and put me at ease. Karissa has such a great creative eye and noticed fun colors and textures in the environment to help be the backdrop for her excellent photos. You won't regret working with her!

Karissa is an absolute gem to work with!! She was extremely communicative, thorough, kind, and patient throughout the entire process and I could not have been more grateful to have her there on our wedding day. She’s an insanely quick thinker, a perfect hype woman, and a pleasure to work with! Our pictures are so beautiful and I would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat.

Karissa Russ & Co was incredible! Karissa made everything easy, simple and enjoyable. Being a native to the area her recommendations and knowledge were invaluable. She was a pleasure to get to know and made our day seamless. Thank you Karissa for making our day so special!

I had the absolute please of working with Karissa and Lauren for my wedding in November of 2023. From start to finish they were both so easy to work with. karissa’s response time is super quick. I was planning my wedding all on my own and working with them took a lot of the stress off my plate. Lauren was my photographer for my engagement session and my wedding. She was so lovely to chat with and have around. Lauren really took the time to configure my husband and I, into the most beautiful and fluid poses that made us look awesome. Karissa’s editing is amazing. Clicking through our photos definitely made us tear up, laugh and smile. I would recommend them for anyone who is looking for a wedding photographer!

Everything was as smooth as possible. Really lovely girl. The whole session was soo much fun! Her pictures are awesome too!

Planning a wedding from a different state was stressful but I knew I wanted to book a photographer before I did anything else. After researching several photographers I reached out to Karissa and I’m so happy that I did! Not only did she give me recommendations on venues, hotels and restaurants she was very easy to talk to. My husband and I both felt very comfortable and had fun in front of the camera. My pictures were beautifully edited and returned to me in a timely manner. If I ever get back out to Vegas again for pictures o know exactly who I’ll contact!

Karissa is extremely thorough and a great listener as to what my husband and I were wanting with our photos. She is also great at directing us as we need a little extra coaching when it comes to taking photos! We are so thrilled with our gallery of photos and I just couldn’t be happier…now to try and choose my favorites!!

I cannot say enough nice things about Karissa and her team. The kindness and love she showed my husband & I is unheard of! I highly recommended her for any photography needs! She went above and beyond to ensure our day was perfect and I owe my stress free day to her!! She feels like a best friend and a sister , and I am so so happy that I found her.

Karissa is absolutely amazing! From the moment we first spoke, I knew she “got us”. We had the best time & it didn’t even feel like a photo shoot. We just received our pictures today and we are blown away. We wrapped up the evening by meeting her sweet husband & sweet son, Mav.

I found out about Karissa in an article on the Knot and was blown away by how authentic her work was. I knew she was the right person for our small Vegas wedding. She was amazing and truly a blessing. She hooked me up with vendor referrals and understood my vision. In 2 hrs we did our Chapel of Flowers wedding, Welcome to Las Vegas sign, and photos at the gondolas outside the Venetian. Karissa honestly made my dreams come true!! I already got my sneak peeks back 😍😍 and want to shout from the roof tops about how Fantastic this girl is!! Book her now!!!

We had the pleasure of having our elopement photos taken by Karissa on 16th August at Sure Thing chapel. Karissa spent 2 hours with us total and in that time we got a range of different shots and she made it really fun for us. Even though we came from England and had never met in person before, she was so so easy to talk to as if we'd known her previously and I loved that. As we had come from abroad I was a bit apprehensive about booking vendors however Karissa was on the ball with email responses and clarification of the days itinerary. We also had a video call a week or two after my initial enquiry to go through her packages with no pressure to buy (she even gave me some unbiased advice and knowledge of the best and nit so great places to look into for our big day). Thank you again for capturing our evening, and being our witness!! Love kim and Jack

Karissa has been voted one of the best and after working with her I know why. She truly is an amazing photographer and very professional! She was very easy to talk to and always got back to me with any random question during the planning process. Come wedding day she was ready! She knew how to work with the planners timeline and exactly what poses to do and how to utilize our space. I never once felt nervous in front of the camera as she made it feel like I was a natural! She is very personable and very funny. We had her for the whole day and it was well worth it. We saw some sneaks a couple days after the wedding and her work is just beautiful. Every single person that has seen the photos have said our photographer did amazing. That is all thanks to Karissa and her team!

I had the most fun working with Karissa! She was a huge part of making things run smoothly at our wedding. She even was the one to bustle my dress! We already got back our "sneak peaks" and I am in love! She captured every moment we wanted beautifully. Her work is amazing, and having her as our photographer made our special day so fun! Thank you Karissa!

Karissa was absolutely amazing to work with from start to finish! We were travelling from Canada and she got the permits sorted for us and communicated clearly everything we would need. The day of the shoot she made us so comfortable! It was like hanging out with an old friend. I usually hate all photos of myself but she captured so many that I absolutely love. We had a great time having the pictures done and she made certain to get us in the best spots for the best pictures. Would highly recommend to anyone! Thank you so much Karissa!

Words cannot express how much I love this photographer. I've actually hired her twice...once for my courthouse elopement, then again for my Wedding 2.0/vow renewal. The photographer who can make courthouse photos taken under fluorescent lighting look good is the photographer who should be hired time and time again! Book Karissa. You won't regret it.

Hiring Karissa was hands down the best and most important decision when it came to our wedding...and let me say Karissa does not disappoint. :) We booked a destination wedding in Vegas and Karissa was a guiding light through it all.. Her style, recommendations, thoughtfulness, eye for a fabulous shot - all unmatched. She is so fun and is exactly the person you need on your wedding day - trust me. She made us feel comfortable and relaxed and it really shows in the pictures. We received our photo gallery and we were so blown away - our photos are just so gorgeous and dreamy. Every shot is stunning - I am currently making a photobook of all of the shots and I am at 100 pages because I literally love every single shot lol... Without Karissa - our wedding would not have been what it was. Our family is forever grateful of Karissa & her team! I would 100% rebook with Karissa - she is truly the BEST.

Karissa is absolutely fantastic! You must choose her for your wedding photographer. My husband and I had a wonderful time shooting with Karissa. We are an LGBT couple from Florida and choosing the right person for photos can be hard. We found Karissa and couldn’t be happier. She was easy to communicate with long distance and really helped us choose the perfect shoot locations.

11/10 reccomend. The memories I will always have driving around after our wedding snapping photos is as memorable as the photos. We truly had so much fun. Karissas work has so much of our personalities and she is such a kind soul! Our wedding wouldn’t have been the same without her hand! Thank you x10000!

My (now) husband and I live in South Dakota and knew we wanted to plan destination wedding. When we were searching for locations, I came across Karissa’s website and instantly fell in love with her style, a Las Vegas wedding, and The Neon Museum. Planning a destination wedding can be difficult, but Karissa was very helpful with planning the local logistics and making suggestions. When we finally met Karissa on wedding day, we instantly knew we were in good hands! She was so chill and made everyone feel comfortable and confident. Karissa is so flexible and was willing to go with the flow and help guide us in the right direction. She even recommended an amazing bar for after our ceremony that our guests had a blast at. We just got our photos back and they are truly perfect. Karissa captured our day and our personalities so well! We can’t wait to look back on these photos for years to come. We have gotten so many compliments on our photos and we are SO happy with how everything came together!

I honestly found Karissa out of pure luck I’d like to think - I had been searching for photographers for awhile and none seemed to peek my interest until I stumbled upon Karissa’s page. She is truly amazing - not just as a photographer, but as an overall human being. From the moment we inquired with her until the end, I couldn’t have been happier. I’ll 150% recommend her to anyone and everyone who asks (and maybe even people who don’t ask). She is very responsive from the start, was there for any questions I had or my sister had, she’s so much fun to be around and work with - she’s so easy-going and not to mention hilarious. She not only made myself and my husband feel comfortable, she fit right in with the family and both sides of our families adored her and appreciated her capturing moments for them. She had an assistant with her on our wedding day, Brooklyn, who also helped in whatever way she could. Karissa helped my husband make a better choice for his outfit (we went no suspenders for him), the both of them were constantly helping me find my string to hold my train while I walked AND THEN actually helped bustle it when it came time to do so. Brooklyn captured “behind the scenes” that we got to enjoy and see the day of our wedding. My husband and I are ridiculous when it comes to photos, half the time making faces at each other. Not only did Karissa capture those moments, she also helped us settle in a bit and take not so silly photos. Everything we asked for prior to the day she made sure she had her lists, and double checked with me before we moved on to the next. There were very small details I wanted to make sure was captured and those photos she got seriously are my new favorite. Even with us getting married at the end of the year with not just wedding chaos, but holidays too - she got our sneak peeks within 2-3 weeks and our entire album within 6 weeks. You can tell she not only puts a lot of work while she’s shooting and in her editing, but that she loves doing what she does. I am blown away by her work, as I knew I would be. I’ve already told her don’t be surprised if I find more reasons to get photos done by her in the future. My honest only regret is not being able to have her with us longer during our day.

Karissa was so fantastic to work with! She was responsive, fun, engaging, and kept us smiling the whole time during our wedding. She had shot at our venue before which is how I found her, and she had some great spots around it for us to take photos at as well. We are not from Vegas and she gave me a great recommendation for hair/makeup (Makeup in the 702), and also pizza (Evel Pie) for after we finished pictures with her. I will treasure our photos for the rest of our life!!

Karissa was so wonderful to work with. As soon as we spoke with her on the phone, we knew she was the one to capture our small wedding. She was punctual, communicative, and made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. We would definitely use her in the future!

We feel so fortunate to have found Karissa for our special day. We loved her work online so much we reached out. She was professional, personable and all around an awesome human. To the point that we even flew out to Vegas twice for an additional shoot. She made amazing suggestions to help us get the best photos and it felt like she gave us a unique experience that was tailored to our needs and request. She was early to our start time and had great communication as she helped us pick where we would get our pictures done. Everyone that has seen our pictures has made comments about how fantastic the photographer was. Those at the wedding also commented how awesome she was to be around and it was like she fit right in. Karissa also helped make sure each picture we requested was taken, including wrangling family members to get them to the right spot. We will definitely be booking with Karissa again in the future. She is the best photographer we have ever booked with and an even better human being.

We are so happy we found Karissa to be our wedding photographer! We searched for about a month or so online for Vegas photographers that one we got a good vibe from, two had beautiful photographs, and three a photographer that had experience in the Downtown (Classic Old School Vegas) area. And boy we really did well picking Karissa, it was a home run! Karissa will meet with you on FaceTime just to make sure everyone connects well and has good vibes on all ends. She’ll meet with you for an hour too just having a chit chat and to talk about the dream for your wedding. My husband and I had a small wedding (less than 10 guests including us), so Karissa even helped with the wedding planning ideas as well to navigate you in the venue selection process. Karissa kept in contact with us in the months leading up to the wedding to ensure we’re all set and to also figure out timing at the venue. Day of the wedding, Karissa touched base with us and was on time and also helped coordinate with the wedding officiant that she recommended as well to ensure the ceremony went off without a hitch and helped coordinate what everyone needed to do. Truly it was a phenomenal experience and a huge THANK YOU to Karissa for making our big day a dream wedding! A few weeks after our ceremony, Karissa had us first look preview photos and our edited photos around the 4-5 week mark (post ceremony). The photos are truly amazing too and are a work of art! We couldn’t recommend Karissa enough- she’s a God-send!

Karissa made me feel at ease on such a special yet stressful day. She did more than just take pictures, she guided us through our day, was very outgoing and easy to talk to, and is ready to fix any little mishaps that you might run into during the wedding (for us it was a safety pin for a boutonnière). My husband and I loved our wedding pictures. I would definitely recommend Karissa to any bride.

I could not ask for a better person to capture my special day! Aside from being unbelievably talented behind the lens she makes you feel so comfortable in front of it! Karissa went above and beyond communicating with me and my husband throughout the whole process to ensure we were prepared for our big day and most importantly happy!

Hiring a photographer to capture the biggest day of your life is a hard task, but believe me when I say you can’t go wrong with Karissa!!! Not only will Karissa take the most amazing photos, capturing the smiles, the laughs, and the tears…but she will also become your best friend, your behind the scenes maid of honor, and the person you didn’t know you needed to calm you down so you don’t lose your dang mind on your wedding day!!! We will forever cherish all of the beautiful photos Karissa took of our wedding. She captured everything and then some. Not to mention, all of our guests absolutely loved her. Karissa is a pure genius behind the camera and a truly beautiful human being.

Karissa was amazing! She is very professional, but very fun to be around. She helped make our special day flow so smoothly. I also loved that we received our pictures so quickly. I’m so glad she was able to capture our wedding and give us memories of a life time! I highly recommend her to anyone planning a wedding.

Thank you so much Karissa for capturing our maternity pictures. Each frame is so beautiful and brought out our personalities in each one! She made my husband and I feel very comfortable throughout the whole shoot and even had back up eye lash glue for my emergency use! I can’t wait to share with family and friends before our bundle of joy arrives 😊

Karissa went above and beyond capturing my proposal. From suggesting the perfect alternate location when the original wound up being under construction, to calmly fielding my anxious emails/texts before the big day, to noticing when one of us had lipstick on our teeth and the other was missing an earring, she was on top of EVERY detail throughout the entire process. Not only did she make gorgeous photos that we now get to look back on forever, she also made a camera-shy person like myself feel comfortable with her humor and easy confidence behind the lens. It meant a lot to us as a queer couple, too, to work with a photographer who is LGBTQ-affirming (little things like asking our pronouns early on in our email communications took such a weight off my shoulders). The turnaround time was amazingly fast and the images turned out more beautiful than I could’ve imagined. You won’t regret putting any event in Karissa’s capable hands!

Karissa was absolutely amazing! She was professional, sweet and thoughtful from our initial consultation until the big day. She gave us local recommendations (and they were amazing!) The photos came back so quick and are stunning! We were so nervous the day of and she made us so comfortable & went above and beyond on our day. 10/10 would recommend.

KARISSA IS AMAZING! She was our favorite vendor to work with. She took such good care of us, beyond expectations or what was required of her. Karissa is incredibly thoughtful, creative, kind, patient, talented, and makes you feel comfortable from the first interaction. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her. Her attention to detail was impeccable, keeping every person photo-ready and happy at the same time, which is hard to juggle.

Wooohoo! These photos are awesome! So many to choose from in the hour we were together! Thank you so much for how sweet you were that day, how wonderful these all turned out and for getting them to us so fast!!! I’m smiling just remembering the day and the time spent taking photos! Hope you are doing well!

I came here to say search no further! Karissa made the whole process so easy and she was a pleasure to work with on the day of! I left everything up to her and she totally delivered. Photography was an important part of my wedding day to me, and I can't thank her enough for making it so great. Our photos are stunning!

Karissa is a wonderful photographer who instantly made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. She knew lots of places for some fantastic photos which has made our photos of our wedding day so unique and fun to look at, as well as being great reminders of the fun day we had! I couldn't recommend her enough to anyone looking for not just a skilled photographer, but a lovely person to share their day with

Meghan J and Dean P - Where do we we even begin with Karissa? When we came across Karissa’s Instagram, we knew we wanted her to capture our engagement photos and wedding photos. We were nothing short of impressed when we saw the outcome of the engagement and wedding photos, it really made us sure we made the right decision. Karissa makes getting memorable photos so easy and effortless and does it with passion and enthusiasm. She will hype you up and make you feel comfortable. When she delivered our photos SHE DELIVERED! Not only did we find a photographer that’ll capture every emotion but a friend that we can have there to celebrate our special moments. We can’t wait to have Karissa capture more memories for us!

The BEST!!! Karissa was very accommodating and easy to work with leading up to the wedding . On the wedding day she was so organized, on top of every detail, great at communicating with the wedding guest, wedding party, and the staff at the venue. She is also very fun, my wedding guest loved her. I would recommend Karissa to anyone, she really help make our wedding a special day.

Karissa was amazing! We had to book a photographer sort of last minute for our Downtown Las Vegas Elopement and we were so happy with the way the photos turned out. We are typically awkward when we get in front of a camera but Karissa made us feel so comfortable and at ease. She captured the exact look I was going for. I would highly recommend working with Karissa for your special day!

We used Karissa at our wedding and we love her. She has a good eye for gorgeous backgrounds, and she is flexible. I would absolutely hire her again!!!

Karissa is absolutely wonderful! We hired her for our unique alternative ceremony and are exctatic about her work. She was exceptionally thorough in making sure she understood everyone’s priorities before the event. Our pictures turned out beautiful. She is magical with a camera.

Look no further! You have found your photographer and will be in the most capable hands! Jitters in front the camera? Forget about those! Karissa will make you feel like a million bucks and ready to take on the world! It was as if my husband and I had known this incredible soul our entire lives! She made us feel both as ease! Karissa is a gem! Being photographed by her was the second best part of our elopement (first being the getting married part!) You’ll totally want to be her best friend afterwards! Her happiness is infectious! Our big day wouldn’t of been the same without this phenomenal creative genius (like seriously it’s scary how exceptional she is at her craft!) If she wasn’t the photographer, I would’ve asked her to be my maid of honor! She truly understood us as a couple which is SO rare! Our love shines through these photos because she was the one taking them! Karissa understands the assignment. PERIODT.

Me and my husband searched for a very long time to find the perfect photographer for our wedding. Just when we were about to book an overpriced photographer we found Karissa Russ & Co on Instagram. And let me tell you how ecstatic we are that we chose her! Her eye for detail is amazing. Hiring Karissa was the best choice we have ever made. Her turn around time is also great! We had sneak peek pictures 5 days after the wedding and full wedding album 3 weeks after. We have so many amazing photos to look back on! She perfectly pictured how much of a party it was! I am forever grateful for Karissa and I can’t recommend her enough! She is also hilarious and will bring you drinks! She also wasn’t lying when she says she gets in the photo booth with you!

My husband and I are from Hawaii and planned a destination wedding in Las Vegas. Karissa was the first vendor we chose, and I am SO GLAD that she was available and willing to shoot our wedding. After looking through her website and instagram, we knew her light and playful style was exactly what we were wanting for our wedding photos. Karissa was so responsive and helpful in answering all of my questions and was very organized and professional on the day of our wedding. I really loved that even though she had her list of shots, she took the time to ask and take pictures of things we felt were important too. My husband and I don't do photoshoots regularly, but Karissa made us feel relaxed and we had a lot of fun taking pics. Karissa sent us some sneak peaks within a few days and our album was ready not long after that! My husband and I loved going through our pics and reliving our special day and are so grateful Karissa was the one who captured it. Thank you!!

Karissa was absolutely amazing, from the moment we met her! I found Karissa’s homepage as I was searching for a photographer in Las Vegas. I loved how natural the couples looked in her photos. When I read her introduction, I knew she was the one and was reassured of it when we met virtually for the first time! During the wedding, she was one of my biggest support systems - reminding me to bring my wedding documents, showing me how to hold my train as we sprinted to the wedding venue, telling me to breathe, and even providing me with boob tape because I forgot my under garment for my reception dress. In the midst of guiding me through this stressful moment, she was able to capture all the beauty within this chaotic event. When I received our wedding photo gallery I couldn’t believe all the precious moments she was able to photograph. She is an amazing person inside out and so talented! She makes her couples feel so comfortable, which really shows in her work. What stuck with me most was she never referred her couples as clients and at first I didn’t give it much thought, but I really felt that we were more than just clients to her. She was there each step of the way, recording all our special moments. We are so grateful to have had her be a part of our day and we love the results! If you’re as awkward as me when it comes to taking photos, you’ll want to have Karissa as your support system! I recommend Karissa to any couple that are looking for an authentic talent that can capture all your precious moments!

Karissa is an incredible person, vendor, and friend. Being new to the Las Vegas area, my husband and I did lots of research before deciding on who to work with and we have absolutely no regrets with choosing Karissa. From the moment we met her, she was kind and funny and just plain down to earth which is so refreshing in the craziness of planning a wedding. She took time from her beautiful baby boy to meet with us and address all of our wants/needs/concerns for photography. We hired her to do engagement and wedding photos and she was an absolute gem to work with through the entire process. She made my husband and I so comfortable (we're not people who like to have pictures taken), was so fun to be around, and delivered beautiful engagement photos. Seeing all of our photos in her gallery made me so excited for her to capture our wedding. Unfortunately a few weeks before we had planned to say "I do" my grandmother passed unexpectedly. Karissa was right there to give condolences and help and was so extremely flexible regardless of whether our date would change or not. Fortunately we were able to not only keep our date (and honor my grandma in the process) but have Karissa there to capture all the beautiful moments. Once again she's knocked it out of the park delivering beautiful photos and becoming a friend in the process. This is the reason she's so incredible at what she does. Thank you for being there and being you <3

Karissa was amazing from the beginning! We had to postpone our wedding and she was so understanding and accommodating to us during that time. Karissa also made our planning so much easier, there isn't a thing she overlooks. The day of our wedding, she was prompt and really knew how to keep us and our guests engaged during photos. She did an amazing job capturing our every moment! We couldn't have been happier with the end results!

Karissa is THE photographer to go to if you’re looking for someone who is intimate and personal. The moment we met Karissa, we felt like we were reconnecting with an old friend who knew us well. She captured every natural feeling and moment between us on this glorious day, and I am SO grateful that we chose her. From passionate kisses, to Beyonce rocking moments, she is sure to evoke that confidence that every person should feel on their wedding day. She was so accommodating from timing, to helping from tips about locations, venues, and transportations. She isn’t just your photographer - she truly does care about you both as a couple! I cannot wait for the day to be in the Las Vegas area again soon, just to work with her again. Karissa’s price points were also very reasonable and she is sure to have a package that works for you! We stuck with her elopement package since we were a small group, however I would totally recommend working with Karissa for larger groups and weddings just based on the two hours I had spent with her.

A friend of ours recommended we check out Karissa for our wedding photos. We loved everything about what she stood for. Her mantra, photos, & most importantly her personality! Our original wedding date was in December 2020. But as everyone knows that didn’t end up happening. Karissa graciously moved our date to December 2021 without any issues. Our wedding started late (Go figure 😁) but Karissa made it her mission to ensure that we got EVERY photo we requested for that day. Did I mention that my entire family loves her? Now I’m trying to figure out what event I can have just so she can shoot it! Her passion & attention to detail is truly unmatched & I can’t wait for the next event. Karissa “Baby Momma” Russ-Barrett is now considered family!

I found Karissa through Instagram, and I am so glad I did! We met in October 2020 for our engagement shoot and Karissa immediately helped us feel comfortable in front of the camera. My husband and I are both very reserved people, so having our photos taken is not something we are super comfortable with. Karissa had many different prompts and poses and our engagement photos turned out beautifully! We decided to postpone our wedding from March 2021 to October 2021. Even though Karissa was booked for every single weekend in October, she still enthusiastically helped us find a Friday date that worked with her schedule. Leading up to the wedding, she worked with me to create a timeline that worked with my preferences and the venue's schedule as well. On the day of the wedding, Karissa arrived and immediately got to work. She jumped right into the flow of the day and even helped us move things along when I wasn't quite sure what to do next. She was even the person to help get me in my dress and fasten all of the annoying buttons down the back! Just like the engagement shoot, she guided us through many different poses and prompts to help us get the perfect photos. Her team even made sure we had photos with every single family member we requested. My bridal party was really comfortable with Karissa as well and we really enjoyed her presence at the wedding. At one point she casually mentioned that we were wedding number 3 out of the 5 weddings she was shooting that week! Based on her work ethic and enthusiasm, I never would have guessed that she was in the middle of such a packed schedule! She still made us feel like the top priority even though she had so much going on. Multiple guests commented on what an amazing job she was doing throughout the night and we couldn't agree more. We really enjoyed our experience with Karissa and the photos we have received are absolutely perfect! I will forever recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer in the Las Vegas area!

Karissa was attentive, caring and full of great ideas. She was so patient with us. Everyone knows the day of the wedding (regardless of size) can be a whirlwind. She really brought a calm energy and took the time to capture our special day. She had so many creative and fun places to shoot. Karissa took us downtown and we had such a blast in the city. My recommendation to anyone reading this, I suggest you book Karissa for as long as you can. She captured so many candid moments, I'm so grateful she was there! Thank you Karissa for your beautiful work.

Karissa was absolutely incredible! I knew from the first time I contacted her that she was going to be a great fit for us. On the day of, our limo was a bit late getting us to the venue, but Karissa kept us on track while keeping the stress level low. We got our photos back quickly and we are totally in love. If you are looking for a photographer, contact Karissa! You will not regret it!

Karissa is an absolute doll! My husband and I were not used to being in front of the camera and she made us very comfortable and got so many wonderful shots! She is so great to work with and has an amazing personality. Her pricing is fair and I feel like you absolutely get your money's worth!

Karissa was not only the most AMAZING photographer! But also felt like she made the whole Vegas experience for us! We flew over from the UK, just the 2 of us, and had been speaking to Karissa for months before we travelled over. She helped us with so much, including finding the dream car to hire, places to go, things to be aware of etc. i honestly think we would have been lost without her! On the wedding day when we first met face to face, I felt like I knew her, like she was a friend, which made me feel so comfortable, the whole day was so chilled and she made us belly laugh the whole time we were with her! She took us to some amazing spots for photos, every single photo came out even better than I ever imagined, we couldn’t be happier. If you’re getting married in vegas, all you need is Karissa!

Karissa was so awesome. Super fun to work with and very detail oriented. She made all of us feel very comfortable and is very good at what she does. I’ve only gotten a sneak peek of some of my photos, but I am truly so happy with all of them. They look timeless and aren’t over edited or have weird filters. She captured all of our moments so well. 11/10 recommend!

There are not enough words to express how glad I am that we booked Karissa for our engagement photos (and future wedding photos). From the first email with Karissa, I absolutely loved her personality and knew we had to book her for photos. Talking with Karissa is honestly like talking with a dear friend, she is so outgoing and it is obvious she loves what she does. My fiancé and I have never had professional photos done and can be shy in front of the camera…but Karissa had us giggling so hard our faces hurt during the entire engagement session. She truly captured so many amazing photos that I will cherish forever. I’m so excited to continue to work with her for our wedding next year!!!

I first found Karissa on Pinterest and LOVED her work- so when I found out she was available for our elopement- to say I was thrilled was an understatement! She was everything and MORE than I expected, from planning to the day of to the epic final photos- she was top notch and helped memorialize our spectacular elopement in all it's glittery, fantastical glory

Karissa took our vow renewal photos at A Little White Wedding Chapel & portraits in Downtown Las Vegas. Karissa was fantastic. Her warm nature made us feel at ease, especially since we’re fairly awkward and camera shy. I’m not sure how she did it, but she captured some of the best pictures we’ve ever taken together. That includes our first wedding! I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and outcome. The pictures are exactly what we wanted and more; I can’t wait to get all of them printed and put on our walls. I highly recommend her if you’re looking for a photographer in Las Vegas.

My husband told me a few weeks ahead he booked a surprise vow renewal for our 10 years coming up on 9/30/21. I had to scramble to find a gown, get it altered, coordinate hair & makeup, find locations, hire a photographer etc in Las Vegas … ALL THE WAY FROM PA … with minimal time. I went over to Pinterest and tried to figure out what vibe I wanted for this special occasion & found @theneonmuseumlasvegas and knew that was it! Luckily enough I have been running a social media business for seven years so I knew how to find what I needed — and that was a photographer who knew that spot. Off to #theneonmuseumlasvegas IG page I went and started messaging every photographer I saw tagged on their page! ….extra long story short @karissaruss.co and I hit it off, she was super down to earth, attentive, make it happen mentality & voila — even in 114° we nailed it. IT WAS LITERALLY THE BEST TIME! She is a woman of her word, timely, detail oriented, communicative etc. EVERYTHING you need in a photographer and more. If I could give ten stars I would Xo

Karissa is amazing! Such a cool, down to earth photographer who instantly makes you feel like a best friend. We flew into Vegas for our vow renewal, were embarrassingly late due to flight changes, but she rolled with the punches, and gave us so many local recommendations of where to eat and drink throughout the weekend. We love our photos !

Karissa photographed our wedding reception in April 2019, and she did an amazing job! Our reception was in downtown Las Vegas and she was able to take us to a lot of cool locations in the area to take some candid pictures. My wife and I got along with Karissa immediately. She was very helpful at our reception as well. The quality of the pictures were excellent. Thank you for making our wedding memorable!

I found Karissa when I googled “Las Vegas vow renewal photographer” and she was the only one who didn’t seem stuffy and unfun, whose pictures had a warmth and liveliness and my intuition was right and that’s the best way I can describe working with Karissa! My husband and I live in San Diego and are not too familiar with the vegas area; we had just done the touristy spots but wanted to have an official trashy vegas vow renewal complete with Elvis! Karissa was great in the planning stages, suggesting Sure Thing chapel which was the perfect choice! I wanted downtown / old vegas scenes as our backdrop and Karissa expertly navigated us to the perfect spots. So our ceremony took place mid July which is HOT AF in vegas. I sweat like a pig no matter what anyways so I was drenched not too long into the day! Idk how she did it but I don’t look sweaty in my pictures and she somehow gave me a glow?!? I’m not sure if she’s a photographer or a magician. She made us feel so comfortable suggesting poses and I couldn’t be more happier with the outcome. Now I’m hoping I can get her to come along to the rest of our vow renewals. See you in 5 years Karissa?!?
