Karissa Russ & Co.

e 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!

y of photos and I just couldn’t be happier…now to try and choose my favorites!!

stress free day to her!! She feels like a best friend and a sister , and I am so so happy that I found her.

her sweet husband & sweet son, Mav.

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!!!

me 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

s. 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!

tifully. Her work is amazing, and having her as our photographer made our special day so fun! Thank you Karissa!

ke 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!

g look good is the photographer who should be hired time and time again! Book Karissa. You won't regret it.

e, 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.

arissa and couldn’t be happier. She was easy to communicate with long distance and really helped us choose the perfect shoot locations.

ouldn’t have been the same without her hand! Thank you x10000!

m. 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!

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.

otos 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!!

ely use her in the future!

nal 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.

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!

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.

t the whole process to ensure we were prepared for our big day and most importantly happy!

he 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.

ies of a life time! I highly recommend her to anyone planning a wedding.

lue for my emergency use! I can’t wait to share with family and friends before our bundle of joy arrives 😊
