Everyone has a story worth telling, and I can't wait to tell yours
EXPERIENCE
THE MARISSA BELLE PHOTOGRAPHY
Wedding days can go by in such a blur. Months and months of planning lead up to a celebration that lasts less than half a day. I believe full heartedly in capturing the spontaneous moments, big and small, on a wedding day, and letting you have time to be with your people - a wedding day is not a photoshoot. I will forever cherish my wedding photos with my grandparents and loved ones who are no longer here, and I don't take it lightly that I can give that to my couples.
I am proud to say that I happily welcome couples of all backgrounds, race and sexual orientation without hesitation. All love deserves to be celebrated.
For the one dreaming of heirloom imagery that captures the celebration of their love story.
DESTINATION FILM WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY

Genuine.
Artful.
Ethereal.
Rooted in a desire to freeze your most precious moments so that you can share them for years to come.
I can't wait to tell yours.
From the moment you first met, to this very day, your unique love story has been unfolding right before your eyes.
Maybe it's the way they look at you when you don't notice, or the way you laugh when they're around. Whatever makes you unique, that's the story just waiting to be told.
