My passion in life is to photograph the REAL kind of love, the sometimes ungraceful & messy, always beautiful, authentic LOVE. The kind of love that makes you ugly cry & double chin smile. Those are the moments I strive to capture.

I'm Carissa Halter! I'm a wife, mama to my sweet Miles, fur mama (to Lucy, Niko, Archie & Asparagus), Oregon native and full time portrait & wedding photographer! Thanks for stopping by! I started my photography journey like most (as a hobby) and it quickly grew into my full time gig! I'm a lover of all things romance, music, art & story telling so naturally I fell in love with weddings, specifically elopements & intimate weddings. I also offer portraits, family sessions & couples sessions!

I believe getting married is a BIG DEAL and I don't take it lightly. I believe that every wedding / elopement is unique because after all YOU are one of a kind.
On your wedding day chances are I'm not just going to be taking photos, I am going to be helping you with details, fluffing your dress, or helping with your tie, bringing snacks, holder of your phone...I want to offer myself to you to make your day as special as it can be. Whether your wedding include 2 guests or 100 I want you assure you I'll be there for it all.
