Welcome and thanks for stopping by!

I am Marissa Joy Daly of Marissa Joy Photography. I was raised in North Carolina, went to college in Boston, spent 2 years in DC, and now have lived in Los Angeles for the last 10 years. I incorporate art and documentary moments into all my work. From stunning destinations weddings in Switzerland and Madrid, to an intimate backyard wedding in Maryland or a glam Hollywood event, I adore being able to make each occasion as special as the next.

My goal is to put you at ease, give you lasting memories and timeless art that will span generations, and make stellar shots that will make anybody who views them stop dead in their tracks. 

To maintain quality work and excellent client relationships, I only book up up to 10 weddings a year (both local and international) with packages starting at $8000. 


Fun Facts!

I don't like fruit...I know, it's weird.

My husband and I have a 5 year old boy and 3 year old girl who we can't get enough of. Hearing those racing, little footsteps from another room is the best sound in the world. 

Zoe and Banks are our rescue German Shepherd mixes. My husband and I are very passionate about animal welfare and we spend a dedicated amount of time each year fostering shelter animals and helping place them in forever homes. 

In college, I was featured in National Geographic for a photojournalism piece focusing on Americans in the rural Blue Ridge Mountains

I'm a sucker for Vanilla Lattes and Champagne

I studied abroad in Florence, Italy while attending Boston College
