Marissa is truly amazing at what she does. Not only does she take the most stunning photographs, she makes you feel comfortable in front of and around the camera and really brings out the best in people. We used Marissa for our engagement and wedding photos. She is quick to reply, helps you with planning your timeline, and worked extensively with us to make sure we were within our budget but also got everything we wanted in for our photography package. My fiancé and I would not describe ourselves as overly photogenic but every photo Marissa has taken of us has turned out to be gorgeous. On my wedding day she was a joy to work with and made me feel special, unique, and beautiful. She also handled multiple family fiascos (gathering everyone for pictures, last minute photo requests from random people, etc) with grace and professionalism. I cant recommend her enough.

I feel incredibly lucky to have had Marissa shoot 5 events with me in 2015. As other reviewers have written, words cannot express my gratitude for Marissa's authenticity and dedication to her craft in fine art photography. Marissa is a true pleasure to work with as she is flexible to meet the needs of her clients and punctual with deadlines and turn-around-times. From our engagement photoshoot in March through our wedding weekend in August, I am in constant awe of the final photographs which capture raw, emotional moments in unique and creative perspectives. I was so comfortable working with Marissa from photoshoot planning to the final products (including prints, albums, canvas and float wraps for our apartment) - I can't wait to book her for more events in the future!

Marissa is the true definition of an artist and professional. From the moment we met her for our engagement photos (which she accommodated doing despite it being a holiday weekend) , we knew that she was going to be our wedding day photographer. Marissa made us feel calm and comfortable in front of her lens. We were so happy with our engagement pics that we invited Marissa to be our photographer for our destination wedding in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic!! We can't express how amazing she was doing the entire process. When she arrived to the Dominican Republic, Marissa joined us during our pre-wedding party and was generous enough to take pics of this event, despite it not being part of her contract. During the wedding day, she was just awesome! She was cool, calm and collected even though I was nervous about keeping things on time. Thinking about all of the cinematic and 'in-the-moment' photos she captured, we couldn't imagine having anyone else take our photos. It has been over 4 months from our wedding and our friends and family still mention how beautiful our photos were and how professional Marissa was that weekend.

She is flexible with your schedule, is always there to serve you and goes above and beyond. An absolute STAR of a photographer and a beautiful human being!
