About my clients:
My clients come from all corners of the globe, yet they share some wonderful traits. They constantly make each other laugh, love exploring new cuisines and destinations, and cherish their families deeply. They envision a chic, classic celebration but are excited to let loose and dance with their closest friends by night’s end. While they appreciate the details and fashion of their wedding day, they know that love is what truly matters. They are warm, compassionate, and inclusive, embracing people from all walks of life, regardless of race, sexual orientation, or beliefs.

On top of the beautiful moments she captures, she is so fun to be around - I can’t count how many times we were laughing our heads off! She has such an eye for detail and made the posing extremely easy. If you’re looking for someone who can adapt to difficult environments and make lemonade from lemons, Marissa is your girl. In spite of the unexpected rainy weather, our engagement photos turned out magical. I look forward to working with her in the future - she has been and will continue to be my go-to for moments that matter!
