meet carissa & ben
Over 10 years ago, we met at a photography class in college and the rest, as they say, is history. Safe to say, we're each other's strongest supporters and critics, growing and evolving together at every step.
We've been photographers for more than a decade and we love what we do. It's a privilege to form connections with so many inspiring individuals and be a part of their lives. We know that it isn't easy to trust someone to capture your special moments. Don't fret, you're in good hands.
We want to be good stewards of your special moments and memories.

hello there, we're

"Carissa & Ben were an easy choice to have as our wedding photographers. They made us feel so comfortable and they genuinely seemed like they were having a blast which made taking photos that much more fun! They captured every moment throughout the day, making it really hard to narrow down photos when having our wedding album printed."

Family portrait sessions. Heartwarming weddings & engagement photoshoots. And so much more. Take a deep dive into our portfolio.

One of the main reasons we love photographing weddings is because we get to work together as a team. While both Carissa & Ben are totally capable of capturing your special day alone, there are many advantages to having a second photographer at your event. We highly recommend having a second shooter on your day!
Should we add another photographer?
Yes. We wish there wasn't! We charge a flat fee for travel outside the Albuquerque Metro area and book our own flights and lodging so you won't have another thing to worry about. If you'd like to book us for your international destination, let's talk more about what that can look like.
IS THERE A FEE FOR TRAVEL?
We typically have a queue of weddings to get through, especially in the busy season. We care so much about your images, we take the time to make sure they look exactly how they were intended. We ask for 8-10 weeks to fully process your wedding images.
How long will it take before I see my final images?
Once you have chosen a package and want to book with us officially, you can sign the contract, and pay the retainer fee (30% of the total cost). Then you'll be officially on the books! Woohoo! Of course we know that every wedding is unique, so if you have any questions at all about customization, don't hesitate to ask!
