Storytelling for couples who:

Want an elevated experience, not just a photographer

Photography is a top priority

Want an expert to guide them for gorgeous storytelling

As a 4th generation Montanan, I love exploring the beautiful place I live. You can find me in my Subaru exploring hot springs, local breweries and always looking for gorgeous locations.

I specialize in candid storytelling and love to explore beautiful places. Some favs: Southwest deserts, the PNW on the coast + forests, Hawaii and more.

After getting my B.A. in photography from Montana State University I fell hard for shooting weddings and couples.

Since 2009, I have shared in many amazing stories and truly consider it an honor to be part of it all.

The Most Epic Wedding Photos Ever

Before I had even booked a venue, I booked Merissa as our photographer because I knew I wanted her to do our wedding photos. It was the best decision I could have made because the photos were even more epic than I could have imagined. She knew exactly what to capture and did it in such a beautiful way. Every time I look at our wedding photos, I smile because I am taken back to that day and all the memories and feelings that I experienced in that moment. Merissa was exceptional to work with both personally and professionally and I am so grateful we had her there on our special day.

Excellent Photographer!

I am so grateful that Merissa was our photographer for our wedding and engagement photos. She is very easy to work with, professional, and a very talented photographer. She was so helpful with the day of the timeline and arrived early on the wedding day. She did a wonderful job capturing all the moments of the wedding day. Her assistant, Rachel, was so helpful and great to work with too. I could not be happier with how our wedding photos came out and highly recommend hiring Merissa for your wedding, you will not be disappointed.

Merissa Lambert was absolutely a pleasure to work with! She made the whole process very easy and allowed us to pick and choose what we liked and what we personally needed from a photographer. She has a plethora of options available for clients, including the option to bring in a second photographer (for a VERY affordable price) which we used for our ceremony. My husband and I love all of the photo's she captured for us for our engagement session and at our wedding and she took the time to understand us and our personalities. She was absolutely amazing at the wedding and was not intrusive which really gave us the opportunity to enjoy our wedding day to the fullest but still walk away with wonderful memories and mementos. The guests all had wonderful things to say as well because she is such a wonderful and approachable person and no one felt intruded upon at all.

She really captured exactly what we were interested in as far as the style and the pictures all turned out amazing. I've never been a part of a photo shoot and she really helped to put my mind at ease and helped to create really cool and unique shots. We highly recommend the photo book/guest book; it is very professionally done with clean lines, very good binding, and just a beautiful book to pull off the shelf and revisit. Merissa offers a wonderful experience and product all while allowing flexibility to fit just about every budget. Her services were well worth every penny and I think my husband and I both agree that she helped to capture our experience and feelings on film and we got to walk away with wonderful photo's to preserve and revisit all of the exciting memories of the day.

Merissa's photographs are more than just images - they capture the full emotion of the moment within the image. As a person, she is the kind you immediately become friends with, which allows her to capture so well each intimate moment, the depth of laughter, and the entire feeling of the situation.

Merissa was so great taking my photos. Although she gave instruction, she was also great to catch our personal moments on our special day. Very professional.

Merissa is fun, personable, and talented!

Merissa and her assistant were incredible! She took the time to get to know us, her photos were beautiful, and she added a personal touch in everything she did. We loved having the online gallery, and the physical prints we could look through and share with friends and family. We would definitely recommend Merissa to future brides and grooms!

While our wedding last July was very small and simple, the setting was Mammoth (as in Yellowstone National Park), and we wanted to capture the occasion, the spectacular place, and our special guests with photographs. Merissa did this beautifully for us. She was flexible, taking our suggestions and adding her own based on her experience. Our guests also found her fun and cordial in her movements among them. We feel very fortunate that Merissa was a part of our day, and would recommend her to anyone looking to capture special moments and occasions with photographs.

Merissa was expensive and her photos were not worth the money! When we expressed our concern and asked for our photos to be retouched she was extremely unprofessional and made excuses for her work; never taking into consideration how my husband, myself and our entire families felt. She never honored our $300 photo credit that was part of our package. The equipment she used was minimal and every photo was shot at the same upward, awkward angle! My recommendation is to keep searching or end up extremely disappointed on what should be the most memorable day of your life!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
