First off, planning a wedding isn’t for the faint of heart. We spoke with countless photographers, and for some reason or another, it didn’t feel right. That is, until we spoke with Hayley. Her professionalism and thoroughness really put our minds at ease. I had no idea what to expect when the photo’s came in, but she exceeded our expectations ten fold. She really captured the feeling’s and emotion surrounding our wedding. In addition to the perfect photo’s, our video was superb. The videographer created a video that brought my husband and I to tears. The music was perfect, the lighting was incredible, and the editing was by far the best I’ve seen. I couldn’t have crafted a better video in my mind. Thank you so much for making our memories come to life. We highly recommend this photographer and videographer!

Imagery by Carissa Dugoni 
Rating: 5.0 (8 reviews)
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves Rough and Ready, CA

I’m Carissa, a California-based wedding photographer specializing in true-to-color editing, candid documentary coverage, and natural, editorial-style portraits. My work focuses on real connection, emotional storytelling, and the in-between moments that define a wedding day. With more than a decade of experience, I photograph weddings with an intentional, relaxed approach that helps couples feel comfortable, authentic, and fully present. My husband, Tyler, joins me as our videographer, bringing the same warm, storytelling-driven style to every celebration.

Ethereal, candid, jovial, refined are some of the buzzwords that the images of our oak tree & hanging lights, spring evening, 100 person ranch wedding brings to mind. Carissa made sure to get an idea of our and our family's priorities and vision for our wedding day photography months in advance. As the day approached she nailed down specifics of timing and herding those dear to us to capture everything we wanted! She has an eye for catching family dynamics, sweet background moments, and her whole team is quick to drop to the floor to get the perfect golden hour angle, play with long exposure, or get some kids laughing! They coordinated wonderfully with our other vendors throughout the day on things like equipment positioning and audio capture. We knew we would love any photos of us as a couple on the happiest day of our lives, but the width of their professional and personal vision for the whole picture is what truly captured our hearts. Thank you Dugonis for loving on us!

Heather Blackwood Photography

  • Classic style

  • Serves Rough and Ready, CA

Hey, I'm so glad you're here! My name is Heather and I live in beautiful Foresthill, CA. I love any and all hard seltzers, my Great Dane Fritz, and using my camera to capture all the feels. About my business? Well I'm basically a professional wedding crasher, so you know you will always have fun with me! Oh and I've pretty much cried at every wedding I've ever been to...and yours is no exception. Let's be friends!

Heather was wonderful to work with! We are the awkward type in front of a camera, but working with Heather made everything seem so stress-free during our wedding planning and photo sessions. Our engagement photo session was fun and care-free and we unbeknownst to all of us, she actually ended up taking beautiful photos of our beautiful rabbit, Trixie before she passed on the following month. Something that we truly appreciated and will never forget. For our wedding, Heather was very detailed and gave us a run down of what to expect for the photos. Nothing was hidden and she was up front about it all and asked if we wanted to add anything as well. Although Mother Nature had other plans for the day, we were still able to get the majority of our photos done. She even snuck in polaroid photos that were just too adorable - And I have no idea when she even took them! We received our wedding photos back and everyone absolutely loves them. I just love her style. While there are some photographers who do a large amount of filter/presets (no shade to those who do), there's just something about Heather's style of being able to keep it clean and natural that I just love! With Mother Nature having other plans with making it a misty ceremony and a downpour reception, we did miss out on doing a handful of photos of cocktail hour. Because of that, Heather was quick to offer us a bridal session to take some additional photos to complete our wedding. Instead of returning to the venue, we actually decided to relocate to Fort Bragg and take photos at the Mendocino Garden. The photos turned out absolutely gorgeous with the oceanic background and the dahlias that she chose to work with. She made everything seem so light-hearted and there was so much laughter with each session. Thank you Heather for everything you did throughout our wedding planning and so much more. You've captured so many wonderful moments and we couldn't have asked for a better photographer!

I’ve had a camera in my hand since I can remember. On family vacations each of us had a camera and would come back with several rolls of film. It was great to see different perspectives of the same place. My photos became more refined throughout my childhood as I graduated to my stepdad’s Minolta film SLR. In college I dedicated myself to photography professionally with a degree in photojournalism, then found my calling with a wedding studio at 19.

I have worked with Nicky a few times, both were non traditional ceremonies where hiking or skiing were involved. She is super fun and easy going and really makes couples feel relaxed. While she is easy going she is still professional and a great communicator. Her photos are beautiful as well. I look forward to working with her in the future and will continue to have her on my vendor referral list.

I have always had a passion for photography and once I picked up a camera, it was all over. I was raised from a big family and my kids are my world! Born and raised in the Bay Area, I have a special love for being back there. I consider myself very outgoing and will always try and make you laugh and feel comfortable by being a huge dork. I think that is one of the biggest compliments I get is that my clients always feel relaxed and at ease and I love hearing that. Not to mention becoming friends with my clients which is an added bonus! ​

Jeff was amazing! He made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera and went above and beyond to “get the shot!” He has an amazing eye for detail, angle and creative shots I never would have thought of. We had a ton of fun with him getting some epic shots but also some silly ones too! I will be using him as our family photographer from here on out!

I’m a Northern California wedding and portrait photographer with a deep love for people, connection, and honest moments. I come to photography with a background in emergency medicine and biology, which shaped my calm, attentive approach. I photograph weddings with a relaxed, thoughtful style—guiding when needed, stepping back when it matters most, and creating space for genuine moments to unfold. My goal is for you to feel comfortable, cared for, and fully present while I document your day in a way that feels true to you.

It was a pleasure to work with Mike. He made us feel very comfortable and at ease with his style of photography, and his overall demeanor. The finished photos look even better than we imagined and we would highly recommend Mike for any photography needs you may have big or small
