Photography and Videography for the creative soul

music lover,
adventurous soul,
camera obsessed

I started Dream Capture Studios in high school after shooting my first wedding at 16 years old. I absolutely fell in LOVE with shooting weddings! I'm such a sucker for love, so being a part of such a monumental event is so special to me. As a mom to two daughters, family holds a special place in my heart, and I know the value of capturing those precious moments.
From 2018-2023 I worked on the Post Production team for a popular fashion brand, Lulus. I was trained to edit photos for their website and advertisements, which included extensive training in skin retouching and color correction. In October 2023 I decided it was time to move on from the company and work on Dream Capture Studios full time, which has been one of the best decisions I have ever made!
When I'm not shooting a wedding, you'll find me spending time shooting concerts and musicians, infusing my work with the energy and rhythm of the music scene. I started shooting for my husband's music publication, CaliberTV, in 2021. Some notable names I've shot are P!nk, Pierce The Veil, Falling In Reverse, Polyphia, and many more.
Whether it's orchestrating moments behind the lens or bringing energy to the dance floor at receptions, my approach is centered on positivity, confidence, and an eye for detail. Lets work together!

hi friends, i'm carissa!

girl-dad,
camera enthusiast,
passionate artist 

My name is Tyler! I have devoted the past 10 years of my life to cinematography and videography. I co-run a live performance production company called CaliberTV that has surpassed 45 million collective views on YouTube and have toured with Vans Warped Tour creating live videos for them. In addition to creating live performance videos, I shoot creative music videos for a variety of bands under the name Visual Hype, and I am a camera operator for the comedian Jo Koy during his sold out shows across America. I have found a passion in filming weddings over the last few years and look forward to years of creating stunning artwork for our couples!

THE IVERSON FAMILY

Carissa was FANTASTIC. She took artful, classy photos and managed to sneak around and get some INCREDIBLE photos when we had no idea she was even there. I can't express how beautiful the finished product was. 10/10 would recommend.

Brittany and Samantha

Carissa (and Tyler) were and absolute dream to work with! We instantly clicked with them during our consultation phone call and knew they were the ones. During the photoshoot, Carissa and Tyler were incredibly patient and helpful with positioning us, despite my fiancee's and my awkward fumbling. They were so charming and charismatic that we didn't want the session to end just so we could talk more! During the wedding they were even better. They blended into the background perfectly, so much so that we didn't even know they were present to get most of the shots they did! Carissa and Tyler are genuinely two of the kindest, most talented individuals and we cannot recommend them enough. We're sad our wedding is over just because it means we can't work with them anymore! If you want to have gorgeous, creative shots for your wedding, you NEED to contract Dream Capture Studios immediately. Thank you again Carissa & Tyler for making our day special!

Mr. & Mrs. TORREs

Carissa and Tyler of Dream Capture were absolutely incredible to work with for our wedding. They are both so fun and personable, which made us feel super comfortable during our engagement shoot. On the day of the wedding, they were with us the entire day and were a dream to work with. They are both so talented and they captured so many amazing moments with an amazing eye for details. We continue to get compliments on how beautiful and dreamy our pictures are. The quality of the photobook and flashdrive included in our package was also so much more than we expected. I cannot recommend Carissa and Dream Capture enough! Thank you for making our day unforgettable❤️

The Beck Family

Carissa is not only super nice to work with, but flexible and just wants to make your day the best it can be for you! She has done both my wedding photos and most recently our family photos and we love them! Shes talented, affordable, punctual and anyone would be lucky to work with her. Thanks Carissa!

THE RAGOSHKE FAMILY

We had a wonderful experience with Carissa! She was great with pose suggestions and open to our ideas; and from what I have seen of the finished products, they look beautiful. She was warm and very friendly to work with. Thank you Carissa for doing such a stellar job at our wedding!

THE SUMMERS FAMILY

I absolutely loved working with Carissa and Tyler. They made everything look amazing! And they were really understanding about us having to move our wedding date due to Covid. I could not have asked for a better photographer for our special day.
