"Once we booked with her, it was clear Marissa was going to be so much more than a photographer. She got to work right away figuring out our needs and suggesting local, inclusive vendors. She put together location lists and Airbnb suggestions. She answered countless questions. She scheduled hour long Facetime conversations.
Her help in our planning was immeasurable." - N&A

Booking Marissa was
one of the best decisions
we ever made!"
"She helped bring our vision to life, accommodating all of our requests, and delivered an experience far greater than we ever could have dreamed of."
- Adrienne & Bre (Oregon Forest Wedding)
During your celebration, I'll guide you through a gentle grounding exercise – a moment to breathe together, to feel the earth beneath your feet, to really take in that you're getting married. Couples often tell me this becomes one of their favorite memories from their day.
"She incorporated a short grounding exercise for myself and my husband: speaking to us with kindness and calmness to allow us to take a few restful & connected minutes together. It was a highlight of our day together." - A&L
What Makes Our Journey Together Unique
Intentional Moments of Connection

"On the actual wedding day Marissa was a fantastic advocate for me. I am a notorious people pleaser, and Marissa was able to help me traverse the stressful experience of the getting ready part of the day." - K&D
Your Advocate & Guardian of Peace
I believe the best photos (and the best wedding day experience) come from true understanding. That's why I take the time to know you as individuals, not just as a couple. From our first conversation through your wedding day, I'm learning about your story, your values, what makes you laugh, and what matters most. That foundation of trust means I can step in with exactly what you need in the moment—without you even having to ask.
Getting to the Heart of Your Story

Here's what some of them had to say after their wedding day

What if I'm nervous being in front of a camera?
95% of the couples you see here have also echoed fears of being camera-shy, unsure how to pose, or worried they'll be awkward in front of the camera - we started working together.

It's okay - you're in good company. I promise.
“If you’re nervous in front of a camera, don’t worry — Marissa will get to know you and make you feel not just comfortable during the photo session, but like a cool/fashionable/more confident person too."
- K&A
“My wife and I both consider ourselves camera shy, but Marissa made the process easy. Our photos turned out so beautifully. She truly captured the day as it was. Looking through them feels like reliving the day and we're filled with love all over again.” - N&A
I'm going to let you in on a secret
"She made us feel comfortable and created space for us to connect with each other and share our love. I remember her being there when we needed her, however I never once felt like I had a random stranger taking photos." - R&C

frequently asked questions
HOW FAR DO YOU USUALLY BOOK OUT?
To get your preferred date I’d recommend reaching out about 18 months out from your preferred wedding date. I have accommodated bookings as short as 1 month out if our calendars line up. Weekdays tend to have more availability than weekend dates.

frequently asked questions
I keep my booking process really simple! You don't have to have your exact venue picked out when you inquire, and it's okay too if you're still undetermined on an exact date at that point. Once you fill out my contact form, we’ll hop on a call, chat more about your wedding vision, compare calendars, and I’ll walk you through everything else!
