The process
You've booked! In order to confirm your booking, we sign a contract and exchange a 30% retainer payment. This secures your booking. After this, we start planning your engagement session and we'll do a final call 90 days out from your wedding to firm up details. I build a photo timeline for you that is detailed, as well as family photo combinations, to ensure we're set up for success on the big day! My belief is that a calm wedding day starts months before the day itself.
Retainer & Planning
STEP 3
Q1. Custom Packages
My packages were built with intention and care after 6 years in the wedding industry, ensuring that I am able to provide an exceptional experience for you! That being said, I am always open to hearing about unique wedding day plans and working with you. Feel free to reach out and we can chat more.
Q2. Locations & Travelling
I am based in the Greater Toronto Area, in Ontario, Canada. I often travel up to 2-3 hours locally for weddings. I have had the privilege of living in 4 different countries and visiting over 21. All to say, travel is one of my loves. I have photographed weddings in Italy (Tuscany & Puglia) Ireland, the Caribbean, New Orleans, and Costa Rica. Please reach out so we can chat more about your dream destination wedding day!
Q3. Content Creators and Videographers
Yes, we do partner with three very talented video media professionals! Our content creator is named Jessica from The Modern Vow, and our videographers (both coincidentally named Michael) are exceptionally talented too. In your inquiry, let me know if you'd like to chat more about adding them onto your package. I handle all communications to streamline your media team.
Q4. Engagement Practice Photoshoots
Yes! All of my packages include a practice photoshoot. I believe they are the best way for you to get comfortable together being in front of a camera, and it helps me learn your ins and outs as a couple! This is never mandatory, but is highly encouraged.
Q4. Cancellations & Rescheduling
I understand that life can happen. In the nature of my business where we book sometimes years in advance, your retainer payment is non-refundable as I reserve this date and time. All retainer payments can be transferred to a new wedding date if the situation arises, pending availability. If I am not personally available, my lovely team can help out!
Daniela & Sean
"From our first meeting, she was warm, welcoming and kind. She walked us through the process and put our minds at ease – it was a no-brainer to have her capture our special day. From the morning, capturing a few “getting ready” shots, to the evening, getting snapshots of our dancefloor, and everything in between, it felt like she didn’t miss a single moment. She was so organized, professional and friendly - not to mention patient through the process of getting all of our family portraits completed in the blazing sun. She seemed to disappear into the crowd during the ceremony and reception to capture some incredible candid pictures. Her attention to detail was amazing! and Clarissa took special care to get some beautiful photos of my 94-year old grandmother, which is incredibly meaningful to my family. Clarissa, thank you for your incredible work – you went above and beyond to memorialize one of our most important days and we are so appreciative."
Jenna & Steve
"Hiring Clarissa was the best decisions we made for our wedding day. From the moment we met her, it felt like we were hanging out with our best friend — the kind who makes you laugh, you feel comfortable around, and is so positive. She is kind, fun, and incredibly genuine. We trusted her completely, and she goes way above and beyond — words honestly can't describe how much we appreciate her. She is so responsive, helped us find photo locations, delivered sneak peaks within 24 hours (and so many photos too), and even stayed longer to make sure we got every shot we wanted, to name a few!"
Della & Kyle
"Clarissa is one of the most professional yet warmest photographers! She is communicative, responsive, and thoughtful. Her approach is true to her style “candid” by capturing me and my fiancé in the most natural yet stunning way. We are so lucky to have Clarissa as part of our wedding!! You won’t be disappointed choosing Clarissa for your big day."
