The moment where you are filled with excitement and anticipation just before your first look. When you make eye contact with one another from across the dance floor while you are surrounded by all your family and friends. The instant you grab on to one another in between formal photos and realize you never have to let go.

These organic moments are the ones I capture as your wedding photographer because they tell your love story. These timeless images will adorn the walls of your home, be passed on for generations, and will forever preserve the love you felt on your wedding day.

meet Calista »

For as long as I can remember, I have enjoyed history, art, and the idea of preserving memories. I find old photographs and artwork inspiring. I like to think of photos of my own life as a time capsule - a way to save my family’s memories. After my son was born, my love of photography grew exponentially, and I realized I wanted to provide others with a way to preserve the milestones in their own lives to tell their story for generations.

MEET Calista

Laura Merlano

Cali and I clicked from the beginning, her lively personality and fun vibe made my husband and I feel so comfortable and excited! Cali has a way of making you feel so confident during the photo sessions, and I think that really comes through in the pictures. I cannot recommend her enough!

On my wedding day, 10 minutes before I walked down the aisle, it poured so hard. They helped clean my chairs off and helped make my wedding happen. The delay only gave us 20-30 minutes of daylight left for photos. Let me tell you, THEY MADE IT HAPPEN! You need to book them for your event. You will not be disappointed!!

"Calista and her husband are so professional & fun!"

Alicia Tivoli Bjornberg

“Cali is a total professional - incredibly talented and so comfortable to work with. Cali is a pro at timeless photos and knew exactly what to say and how to pose me and my husband for the best photos. I could not be any happier!”

I am dedicated to you and your wedding day. I offer limited dates for sessions and weddings to ensure that you receive the finest experience possible. A great benefit of this time is being able to get to know you and your story. Often, this means by the time I am shooting your wedding, it feels like I am watching friends get married instead of clients.

I will forever be in your corner celebrating life’s greatest milestones.
