If there is anything you must do for your wedding day, it's choose Dream Capture Studios for photography and videography. They went above and beyond to make sure our day was great and the memories were captured beautifully. Their level of professionalism is unmatched and we couldn't be more glad that we hired them to make our day so special. Carissa and Tyler are incredibly friendly and they made my husband and I feel very comfortable in front of the camera. We absolutely will recommend Dream Capture Studios to anyone who asks us about wedding vendors.

Begin by reaching out through the contact form and sharing the details of your wedding day. I’ll confirm availability and send over collection information so you can explore the experience that best fits your celebration.
If it feels like a great fit, we’ll schedule a consultation to talk through your vision, priorities, and everything you’re dreaming up.
Let's Discuss the Details
01. Step One
Once you’re ready to move forward, your wedding date is officially reserved with a signed contract and a 33% retainer.
From that point on, I’m in your corner to help with planning, timeline guidance, and recommendations to ensure your day unfolds with ease.
Book your Date
02. Step Two
Throughout the months leading up to your wedding, you’ll receive thoughtful resources and personalized support.
This includes:
Wedding planning guide
Engagement guide
Timeline assistance
Vendor recommendations
Ongoing communication by text, phone, or email
If your collection includes an engagement session, we’ll plan a relaxed and meaningful session that helps you feel comfortable in front of the camera.
Planning & Prep
03. Step Three
Having a camera pointed at you can feel awkward — I get that. My goal is to make the experience feel comfortable, calm, and natural.
I’ll step in with direction when it’s helpful and fade into the background when it’s not. I’m paying attention to the in-between moments: the nervous pacing, the quiet glances, the hugs that last a second longer than expected.
I’m there to document what it felt like, not to manufacture anything for the camera.
The Day Of
04. Step Four
Within 24 hours, you’ll receive a small set of previews — because I know you’re excited, and honestly, I am too.
From there, I carefully curate and edit your full gallery. My editing style is true-to-life, natural, and timeless. No heavy trends. No over-editing. Just images that feel real and will still matter years from now.
I take my time with this part because it’s important.
Previews & Editing
05. Step Five
Your final gallery will be delivered within 4-6 weeks via an online gallery where you can download your images, share them with friends and family, and order prints or albums.
Once everything is delivered, you walk away with the memories that truly last. Long after the details blur.
And while the gallery delivery marks the end of the process for most, it’s not the end of the friendship. I’m always here for albums, future sessions, or whatever season comes next.
Images are Delivered

Answers to Your Questions
frequently asked questions
I am located in Stockton, CA. Travel of up to 4 hours by car (round trip) is included in most collections. Anything beyond 4 hours round trip will be charged 75 cents per additional mile. Travel that aren’t drivable will include hotel, flight, and rental car.
There is no guaranteed image count. I photograph thousands of images throughout your wedding day and carefully curate the very best moments. On average, you can expect approximately 70–90 fully edited images per hour of coverage, depending on the flow of the day, timeline, and events.
Reach out and let me know which collection you are interested in. We can set up a phone call to go over details, and if we are on the same page, I send over the contract for review. If it looks good, you sign it, then pay a 33% deposit to secure your date! The remaining balance isn’t due until 7 days before your wedding day.
