Ah, weddings. They’re big, fun, love-filled days with all the laughter and wild moments that make them unforgettable. When the day comes, you need someone who’s ready to handle it all—someone who’s there to capture every memory while you focus on soaking it all in and having the best time.
As a proud, queer-owned business and an inclusive wedding photographer, I’m here to celebrate love in all its forms. Being part of the LGBTQ+ community myself, I believe in honoring every story and every relationship, capturing memories that truly feel like you. My job is to make sure you have amazing memories of every part of your wedding day. How do I make that happen? I like to blend in and just go with the flow, but I'll be there to throw some direction your way if needed and bust down on the dance floor to capture the energy. I've got jokes for days and I've been told I'm pretty good at making people feel relaxed in front of the camera.
Bottom line: this is a big day. You want someone who makes you feel as good as you look. I know what it takes to catch every moment, and I’m all in to make sure you have photos and videos that capture it all.
This ain't my first rodeo. Weddings are my jam!

Let's Get a Few Things straight
My clients are people who value inclusivity, fairness, and kindness. They are queer or queer-affirming, and they genuinely care about creating a welcoming space for everyone. They are thoughtful and intentional, prioritizing the well-being of their communities and celebrating diversity in all its forms.
As a queer person who celebrates all expressions of love, I know that love and identity look different for everyone. However your love is presented, it deserves to be seen, celebrated, and captured authentically.
Clarisse is hands down the best photographer/videographer out there! I literally can't say thank you enough to her for everything. Her work is AMAZINGGGGG and she has the most amazing positive energy. My husband doesn't like taking pictures, but she made him feel super comfortable. I've dealt with many different wedding photographers at weddings, but Clarisse is hands down the nicest and the best to work with - my bridal party and my guests keep telling me how amazing she is. Wedding days can be kind of hectic between getting all the family photos and capturing every moment, but Clarisse does it with such an amazing attitude/vibe. Book Clarisse ASAP! She's the BEST!

Clarisse has got the “eye” for the perfect photo. But more importantly, she knows how to make being in front of the camera approachable. You feel relaxed, at ease, happy. And that’s what life – and how it’s captured – should be all about, right!? What we got was a friend – we still keep in touch with Clarisse weekly – and memories that will make us smile for decades! “6 stars” if I could give it, Clarisse. Keep. On. Hustlin’

I don't even know where to start, Clarisse is amazing!! We first did an engagement session with her and we didn't know her very well at the time and we were a little camera shy, but Clarisse was great, she was telling us jokes and made us laugh the entire time, which made us much more comfortable in front of the camera. Leading up to the wedding she was very helpful with first look location selection and the timeline to make sure we got the best lighting for pictures. Then on the wedding day, she was my saving grace. I was nervous, but tried not to sweat little stuff, but she was so calm and funny and so easy going that being around her made me much less stressed. If I was picking a wedding photographer again, I would 100% pick Clarisse again, not only because she has an amazing personality, but she's most of all very talented - and did I mention we LOVE our pictures!!!!
