Karissa and her assistant were phenomenal. The sneak peek photos are already stunning, and she managed our shot list with ease. They seemed to be everywhere at once--capturing candid moments on the dance floor and making sure nothing was missed. We can't wait to see the full gallery, but we already know the memories she captured will be priceless. read more

Let me just start out by saying Karissa is an absolute gem to work with!! I found Karissa on Yelp while searching for a last-minute photographer for a small intimate dinner at a local restaurant after my city hall ceremony in SF. I was amazed at how quickly she had responded to my inquiry on yelp, followed by a phone call to connect about the logistics. She took the time to ask questions to fully understand what I was looking for, and provided insights and suggestions to match my needs and expectations. Karissa was thorough and consistent with her communication during the entire process to ensure everything was going as planned days leading up to the wedding. I am also very pleased with the turnaround time for the photos and absolutely love each and every one of them!!! I witnessed the passion she has for photography by seeing how she went above and beyond to capture all the beautiful moments during my dinner reception, I honestly couldn't be more grateful and happy that I found her. Honestly... If anyone is looking for a photographer, look no further!! SHE IS AMAZING! Thank you so much again Karissa for everything!! . read more

Karissa is amazing. I had a little bit of experience with taking photos with my family a few years ago but this session was just me. Karissa did a great job of capturing photos of me at my best! read more

Karissa & her team are absolutely incredible. We did a mini almond blossom session and honestly, it didn't feel like a mini. She made the experience very personal. There was a cute moment my infant daughter very spontaneously had while sitting down and Karissa caught it perfectly. Additionally, from the very first communication, to prepping for the pictures, and after, the communication was perfect. All the information was provided before and when I was a clutz and couldn't get the pictures downloaded right, she was always there to respond through text. And even after all my questions, she stayed patient and kind the entire time. Professional, skilled, organized, and kind. That's how I would describe every part of our experience with Karissa & her team. read more

Working with Karissa was amazing. From the moment I saw her on Instagram, I knew she was who I wanted to work with. The ease of working with her is great. Zoom consultations and meetings were so convenient for working professionals such as myself and husband. Scheduling consults and different meetings were very efficient online. Karissa helps you build a timeline for the day which is such a help. She also asks you for a list of shots that you must have which was great and helped make the big day less chaotic. If you aren't comfortable posing for pictures she will help out with that and teach you how to pose. Any idea that you're wanting for your shots, she is willing to do and travel for. We took shots drinking boba with her! She captured every single smile, laugh, hug and kiss. She really allows you to be yourself and really captures that in her shots. Her team was great as well and made us feel comfortable. She knew Gavin would hit it off with my husband and he did! Gavin even helped the men put on their boutonnières and made sure my husband was looking fresh. I would definitely recommend Karissa and her team to anyone. I know she does bridal and engagement but if I have a baby I want her to do our shots too if possible! Thank you again so much Karissa for working with us for almost 2 years! You've left us with so many great memories! read more

When I look for a photographer I look for someone who is fun and open to new ideas while producing quality work. Karissa was introduced to us by our cousins from Hawaii who are also photographers and joined them for a couple/family photo shoot in the heart of Sacramento. She was smiles all around, and her personality made the photoshoot fun with minimal awkwardness when posing with my husband and family. I can't wait to see the pictures and hope whoever is looking for a photographer in the Sacramento area has the opportunity to work with Karissa in the future. read more

Karissa was so fun to shoot with! She's super sweet and a joy to be around. I was very comfortable doing the shoot with her. My family introduced her to us as they wanted to do a family photoshoot together while they were here in town. Although I was only with her for about 1/2 hour, her energy was infectious as she made the whole experience fun and memorable. I enjoyed the time spent with her and I can't wait to see our photos! Thanks Karissa! read more

As a photographer myself, I get nervous asking other people to take my photos. I set a high expectation for other photographers to be able to produce genuine photos that do no not looked posed. Karissa made me feel so comfortable in front of the camera (as I'm usually the one behind the lens). She brought out genuine laughs/smiles during the shoot and at every point, checked in to make sure we were okay. Not once did I feel awkward. She has such a bubbly and approachable personality, which I love. I would HIGHLY recommend to anyone looking for a wedding photographer. I wish we could give more than 5 stars because she gave a 5+ star experience and I would love to take photos with her again! read more

Karissa is THE BEST!! By far our favorite and easiest wedding vendor to work with. She has great energy and is such a friendly chill person. She gave us helpful direction and perfectly captured our essence as a couple and vision for the day. Throughout the wedding process Karissa was impressively organized and thorough. She sent multiple questionnaires during the months leading up to the wedding to get an understanding of what we wanted and what type of shots to capture. She was on top of absolutely everything and provided guidance for timing/scheduling/things to think about. She was also super speedy responsive to questions which was appreciated! For the wedding Karissa brought along her lovely assistant Gavin who tied my husband's tie, gave great male fashion advice, and was a such a comforting, reassuring presence. The two of them put us at ease and made the whole experience fun. Also, they do not mess around when it comes to getting the shot!!! They're not afraid to lay on the ground, sneak in some bushes, you name it! And they got some AWESOME shots. Thank you SO much Karissa and Gavin! Highly recommend these incredible talented folks! read more

I am so incredibly grateful for Karissa!!! She made a beautiful video from our wedding and was excellent about communicating with us throughout the process of selecting a videographer, setting up the wedding timeline, and getting to know our overall vibe. She is approachable and has an excellent eye for great shots and style. Thank you so much! read more

Karissa was our photographer for our wedding and engagement photo session and we were very impressed and happy with her work! She was easy to work with, very organized/communicative, and professional. We love the quality of the photos and their natural look. Her and Gavin were fun to work with on our wedding day and made our photo sessions fun and cheerful! Definitely recommend Karissa Wright Productions if you are looking for a wedding photographer! read more

The experience of getting pictures taken by a professional photographer is pretty awkward for me as I don't do this often (probably like the most of us). So it's very important for my photographer to not only produce high quality pictures but also create a natural and fun photoshoot. This past week my family and I had a photoshoot with Karissa. The experience was awesome! Karissa was easy going, professional and most importantly fun. The few sneak previews Karissa showed us looked amazing, I can not wait to see how the final version of the photos look. 100% I would hire Karissa again for future photo shoots and I recommend everybody to contact her if you need a photographer. read more

Being a photographer myself, I'm picky when it comes to choosing a photographer. I look for someone that will be able produce quality work in a fun setting while providing an awesome experience. Yesterday we had the pleasure of having a couples session with Karissa. She was very easy going and make me feel comfortable in front of the camera. I didn't feel awkward at all and am so excited to see the final images. Karissa provided an amazing 5 star experience and I would definitely love to shoot with her again and would recommend her to anyone in the Sacramento area! Thanks Karissa! read more

The Karissa Wright Production team was amazing. My now husband and I aren't big on photos, let alone professional ones, so the most important characteristic that I was looking for in a wedding photographer is someone that made us feel comfortable, which is something I definitely found with this team. Not only that, they were very organized and thorough with making sure our expectations were met. I never truly realized that it takes more than just taking good photographs to be a good wedding photographer. The team was super friendly, had great energy, were super efficient (especially with time optimization) and even took the liberty of helping with whatever they could. So many people in our wedding gave great compliments about this team. I personally felt very special and cared for; We planned our own wedding and definitely felt like booking this team made it easier. read more

I am so happy I found Karissa, she is patient, kind, caring and such an amazing photographer. She made the photography part of my wedding so smooth, I wasn't worried about anything! We are so happy with how our pictures turned out, I literally show everyone lol! If you are in need of a wedding photographer, definitely pick Karissa, she is worth every cent read more

We used Karissa for our engagement photos as well as her photography and videography services for our wedding at the beginning of June.

Karissa is absolutely fantastic! She did our engagement photo shoot and will be doing our wedding in October. I cannot stress enough how amazing she is. She has a fun and sweet personality and makes you feel comfortable through out the session.

Wedding planning is so stressful, and for Jesse and I things didn't go as planned. We had a few minor things go wrong throughout the wedding planning process. We had no idea that our "video lady" would be the biggest help and support system. Karissa is by far the best investment we made for our wedding. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone at our wedding, including other vendors had nothing but wonderful things to say about her. She became a friend, wedding planner, and our go-to girl the moment we booked her. Karissa replied to email, calls and text in a timely matter. She always made me feel at ease. Jesse and I are so grateful not only was our wedding footage spectacular, she completely exceeded all expectations we ever had for a videographer. Thank you Karissa for being so professional and such a wonderful person! You really made our wedding one to remember! read more

Karissa Wright Photography - Our main girl! Videographer turned new "bff" - Session Photography Near Me - Modesto, California

Karissa and her team were amazing to work with! From the first time we met with her, my husband and I felt so comfortable. It didn't take us more than a few minutes after to decide we would use her for our big day. From a complimentary photo shoot to learn how she works/ get us comfortable in front of the camera, and gifts throughout our engagement leading up to the wedding we couldn't have asked for a more professional, personal connection with our photographer/ videographer. The wedding day, her team came in energized, excited and ready for a long day at a wedding where the bride and groom were not used to cameras following them. They worked throughout the day so seamlessly, allowing for the day to have a natural flow which reflects in the photos we received (instead of very posed pictures). Our families had nothing but great things to say about her team and how they managed the day and were so fun and caring. We received a photo the night of the wedding another 2 days after along with a highlight clip to our wedding video. A little over a month after the big day, we received all of our photos, approved our wedding album and have a wedding video on the way. Which is insane timing, we were so impressed because we were so impatient. I can't talk up Karissa and her team enough. I highly recommend using her and her team for all photography needs! She will connect with you on a personal level and invests her time and energy in getting to know you and making your day special and unlike any other wedding she has done. Thank you Karissa Wright Productions for all your hard work! read more

Karissa and her team are absolutely amazing. Not only are they talented, but they are kind, fun, and very easy going. We hired them as videographers for our wedding, and we couldn't be happier with their work. Something I also really liked was how Karissa got every detail of what we expected and wanted from the video before our big day. She made it feel very personalized. Her process of questionnaires, video chats, and emails helped us feel connected throughout the planning process. She always got back to us very quickly, I would definitely recommend them!!!! read more

My wife and I cannot adequately express with words how much we truly enjoyed working with this professional photographer. From the start, Karissa exhibited unlimited energy and enthusiasm about our special day. She allowed us to talk about things we wanted and then offered her expertise and guidance. She may at first appear young but don't let that fool you. She comes with tons of creativity and wisdom when it comes to photographing your wedding day preserving those one-of-a-kind moments. We absolutely also loved working with her prior to our wedding ceremony sharing some intimate moments between the two of us that she captured beautifully including First Look. We were hoping for some wonderful pictures but what we received back from Karissa was absolutely breathtaking. She was able to capture all of the priceless moments from the first time we saw each other on our wedding until we departed for our honeymoon. We both highly recommend her knowing that you will not be disappointed in all of the precious moments she captures on your special occasion. ~Jonathon & Pamela Cline read more

Highly recommend! She was fantastic and super accommodating. She genuinely cared about my wedding day going smoothly and made extra efforts to get to know my husband and I so she could accurately capture our day. Our video turned out so beautiful, there was a small hiccup in the video and when I let her know i noticed it and she said she would fix it as soon as possible! Just a great experience all around! read more

Karissa Wright Productions is one of the best choices we made for our wedding day. We hired her as our videographer. I had already booked a photographer and then decided I couldn't get married without a wedding video! Best decision ever! Karissa is amazing and so talented. Her creative eye and talent is evident in our wedding video. She was calming and professional throughout the entire process and especially on the wedding day. We love love LOVE our video. I told Karissa "words" were the most important thing to us and she made sure our vows and speeches made it into the video! I have already suggested Karissa Wright Productions to friends and will continue to do so. Thank you so much to Karissa and your team for making our wedding day so magical and something we can watch over and over forever!! read more

Words cannot even describe how amazing Karissa is! When we started planning our wedding, we weren't 100% sure if spending money on a videographer was necessary, but after talking to some friends we realized we needed one. We were referred to Karissa through our event planner and after reviewing her work and meeting her, we knew she would be perfect for our special day. Karissa was so professional and friendly from day one! On our wedding day she was so helpful and caring and worked side by side with our photographer in such a professional manner (if we hadn't already booked our photographer before meeting her, we hands down would of booked her for both). Shortly after our wedding, we received a teaser video which we fell in love with and made us so excited for the full film. Well today we received our full highlight film and we are in absolute awe! Both my husband and I cried! The video she put together was beyond anything we could of ever dreamed of! She is a true artist and does impeccable work! She made it so personal and captured every special moment from our day. We can't thank Karissa and her team enough! So first, if you aren't sure if you need a videographer, you do! Second you should chose Karissa! read more

I found out about Karissa as a referral from my photographer. And we could not be happier we crossed paths this way. Karissa's creative eye and positive outlook on life are just unbelievable. She is sweet and willing to make the vision you have come to life. She spent time understanding what was important to us, and when we saw her teaser of our wedding day - she had more than delivered. All those emotions came right back - I cried (happy tears galore), my family was calling me to tell me how incredible this 1 minute clip was, my husband and I would watch everyday during our honeymoon. Oh, did I mention the teaser came within a day - our wedding was Sunday (ended around 11pm) and Tuesday morning she had posted the clip. It was such a nice surprise! Within that one minute clip she seemed to capture the moments that had meant the most to us, so we can't wait to what else she has in store. She is someone we hope to keep in our lives as not only our go to videographer but also as a friend read more

We used Karissa Wright Productions just for Photography for our wedding and had a great experience! Karissa is very easy to work with and easily puts people at ease while she is taking pictures. She is able to make everyone laugh and smile and feel like she's everyone's friend and not just a stranger behind the camera and that translates into her capturing the perfect moments with no stiff nervousness. The second shooter that she brought with her was also very easy to work with and I'm glad both of them were able to get some amazing shots of the day. The printed pictures and canvas that we received from ordering through her are also very high quality and worth ordering (they were delivered to our doorstep within a couple days!) and the album is amazing. If you want someone who is super talented and takes quality pictures, is very organized, checks in often, and is easy to work with on your big day, definitely use Karissa Wright Productions! Thank you Karissa! read more
