Carissa Dugoni
I’m Carissa - the founder and head photographer behind Imagery by Carissa Dugoni.
From our first conversation to final delivery, I personally oversee every part of the experience - communication, planning, contracts, and creative direction. I serve as the lead photographer on your wedding day, ensuring everything unfolds with intention, ease, and artistry.
This work means more to me than I can put into words. I’m deeply grateful to lead a team of incredibly talented creatives - all of whom are my close friends - who share the same standards, passion, and commitment to telling your story beautifully.
Owner, Head Photographer, Art director
Capturing the fleeting and in-between moments.
Behind the scenes is a tight-knit team of skilled creatives I trust completely. We approach each project together, dividing responsibilities while keeping one another accountable. Our ability to communicate intuitively and anticipate each other’s needs is what sets us apart.

Associate Photographers & Cinematographers
Our associate photographers and cinematographers are longtime collaborators and trusted creatives who have worked closely together for over a decade. Many of us have spent years filming live concerts and large-scale events side by side through CaliberTV, developing a deep understanding of teamwork, timing, and fast-paced environments.
This shared history means we move intuitively together on wedding days—anticipating moments, communicating without disruption, and maintaining a calm, professional presence throughout. Every member of the team brings both technical skill and a strong sense of visual storytelling, contributing to a cohesive and elevated final experience.
