Hey! Charissa here, and I'm a wedding photographer based in Georgia. In my free time, you can find me singing opera, traveling with my husband, or cuddling with my cat!
​
My husband Jonathan and I have also owned a wedding band by the name of Tasteful Tea Band for the past seven years. It was at the beginning of that business journey that I also started my photography journey trying to capture the essence of what our band could provide for couples. As the years went on, I discovered that I wanted to spend more time with the couple before the reception started! I love the tear-filled hugs before the ceremony, the beautiful music as the couples walks down the aisle for the first time, and the vows that are said time and time again for every couple. Most of all, I love LOVE. ​
​
I've been married to my husband for five years, and we had an intimate wedding that I will always be so happy looking back on. We were surrounded by the ones that were most important to us, and we were able to start the rest of our life together at such a young age. As a result of planning all of that with the help of some of my friends and family members, I know what it takes to plan a wedding on your own. I know what it's like being the couple and also being the wedding day coordinators. I'm here to help you ease some of that burden. Let me be real, having a self-planned wedding can be chaotic at times. However, I know how to roll with the punches of the day and capture every moment, no matter the aesthetic. The most important part is you being able to view your pictures in the future and remember the day you made the best decision in your life.
Mountain Views
There's nothing that excites me more than the sheer wonder and adventure of a mountain range. Also, mountains are great venues for ALL seasons. I love the wind-swept hair, the flowing dresses, and the incredible backdrop that says "We can beat all odds."
“Charissa’s eye and personality is unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. She made my first experience of photo sessions super comfortable and made me laugh so much! She was very patient with my questions and my awkward poses but she made me feel like an absolute model. She not only gave me an unforgettable experience but she also gave me a stunning gallery of pictures and versions of myself I’d never thought I’d see. Book her for all your occasions and I promise you, you won’t regret it!"
