The photographer with golden retriever warmth who creates comfort from the first hello

Often lovingly referred to as the "Golden Retriever" of her friend group, Carris brings that same enthusiastic, never-met-a-stranger energy to every wedding she photographs. Her superpower? Making people comfortable almost immediately—transforming the sometimes-awkward act of "taking photos" into an effortless, enjoyable experience within seconds of meeting you.

When not behind the camera, you'll find Carris traveling to the desert, enjoying tacos and margaritas with friends and family, diving into true crime podcasts, or cherishing quality time reading and playing with her son. She finds joy in life's simple pleasures—the smell of clean laundry, a good bike ride, and movie date nights.

Her advice to couples is heartfelt and simple: "Be present and soak it all in! You've done so much to prepare for this day, so allow yourself to let everything fall into place and enjoy the day with your forever love."

And on the dance floor? You'll absolutely catch Carris dancing to "Shout!" by the Isley Brothers—even if she's the only one out there. Fair warning: if given the opportunity, she might request Eminem's "Shake That," a song she proudly knows every single word to!
