General 1 — Carissa Woo Photography

Our Method

We always kick off our relationship with a professional yet heartfelt discussion focused on getting to know you.

The goal of this initial consultation is to build trust and establish clear lines of communication that will carry through the engagement shoot, first look, entire wedding, and beyond.

Your pose preferences are incredibly important to us. Many photographers will put couples in poses that are “just not them” resulting in awkward stances and fake smiles with the couple left feeling uncomfortable and regretful for not speaking up after seeing shot after shot that does not represent them at their best.

In addition, we will ask you about priorities, special personalized details, and family dynamics to ensure we don’t miss a beat. We want to know that your favorite auntie flew in from across the country, or it’s the first time in 10 years you’re being reunited with your grandparents. These are critical details that will allow our photographers to capture the moments that mean the most to you.

Our Style

Our photographs are playful with lots of movement and overflowing with life. At the same time, we delicately capture quieter moments with sincerity, serenity, and understated elegance.

You’ll notice we specialize in luminous photography. Not a single shadow appears unless it was strategically placed. Our expertise in leveraging natural light and flattering angles ensures you will look fresh-faced and beautifully lit from within.

With a high attention to detail, our photography will encapsulate your full romantic story. From the wedding venue and surrounding environment to bespoke programs and signage to the moment you first lay eyes on each other, our approach takes in the big and small wonders of your once-in-a-lifetime event.

We highly recommend booking an engagement shoot. This allows us to build rapport, style you, and get to know you on a deeper level so you can show up on your wedding day, looking and feeling like badass models, totally camera-ready, and stunningly confident in your smiles.
