My name is Carissa Joy and I have a passion for documenting love stories in New York City & beyond.
The film here describes my approach to my work and why I am so passionate about capturing memories. Beyond what is said there about my personal and professional life, you can click the link below to learn more about myself & my husband Viet!
Her excitement about capturing our elopement truly added to the entire wedding experience. She perfectly captured our intimacy. Carissa’s comfort behind the lens exudes out and allows her subjects to feel comfortable and content as well. Though my husband & I are not used to being photographed, with Carissa’s encouragement we felt like models! " PARIS, '22
My bridesmaids & family were her biggest fans…her demeanor day off was exactly what was needed. Truly every photo was thoughtful and added to the narrative of the day. Viewing the gallery feels like you were a guest in the audience at the ceremony, on the dance floor, etc. There is truly nothing to critique— the photos will be treasured forever and there’s so many amazing ones I seriously don’t know what to do with them all! I'd trust Carissa to photograph every life event of ours moving forward and you should do the same." NEW YORK, '24
I cannot thank them enough for the attention to detail and the care they put into their work. The day was seamless because of their efficiency, encouragement and creativity. I highly recommend adding film as well. There is something about seeing your most precious moments captured in film. Their work seems to hold onto a moment in time that is so fleeting. " NEW YORK, '21
