We're on your team
to help you craft and document
an unforgettable elopement day
from A-Z.
Meet Karissa & Mike! Karissa is a total space nerd and when there’s a clear night, you will probably find her nestled in the rocks with her camera and tripod as she catches the Milky Way through her lens. Mike loves everything related to Chicago sports, and more than anything, he loves sitting outside with a cold beverage in hand watching a game with his friends and family. We’re quality over quantity kind of folk, and we hold this ideal close to our hearts in everything we do. We live in a small neighborhood near the mountains in LA, and we spend much of our free time exploring the public lands around us, hanging out with our friends and family while cooking delicious meals. We feel like the luckiest people in the world every time we think about the fact that we get to work in the places we love with people we love, creating memories that will last a lifetime.
If you found your way to our corner of the internet, we're best friends already!
MEET KARISSA & MIKE,
