We love her!

Marissa is the absolute best. When looking for a wedding / engagement photographer, we wanted someone that was unique, friendly, professional, and someone that worked with our quirks as a couple. When we met Marissa for the first time and reviewed her portfolio we automatically had to hire her and she was the first and only person we met with. When we did our engagement photos with her she made it so much fun and it just felt natural and not like we had to really try. We loved her so much we asked her to travel for our wedding to California and she came for a reasonable fee and we couldn’t be happier she was with us: Similarly at our wedding, she made all of our guests laugh, smile and made them all feel comfortable . Everybody I spoke to loved her personality and her skills as a photographer. Our wedding coordinator even wants to see her finished photos from the wedding. Like I said previously , she made everything feel natural and I can’t wait to see the rest of our wedding photos. Thank you Marissa! I know in the next chapters of our life we will keep you in mind for photos :)

Amazing Photographer Duo!

Wow! What an incredible team Marissa and JR are! From the first consultation phone call I could tell Marissa was going to bring all of the good vibes and also be supportive of what we wanted for our big day. She was communicative, professional, and always fun to talk to during the wedding planning and during the day of. Marissa even went above and beyond and met me at my wedding venue 6 months ahead of time to become more familiar with the property since she had not been there before. Marissa is truly amazing and as a couple- JR and Marissa work exceptionally hard as a team getting all of the different shots and angles during the big day. They were truly there for us for the whole day hyping us up, capturing the fun energy, and adding to the fun. We cannot recommend them enough to our family, friends, and anyone in need of a professional photography team!

Incredible

Marissa is the definition of a true professional! She photographed my wedding in September and let me tell you, if it could go wrong it did. Except with Marissa and team. My husband and I couldn’t have been more blessed to have worked with her. You could tell she was experienced, on top of everything, and not afraid to take charge. She is so sweet and truly felt like an old friend. Not to mention she’s insanely communicative, her work is incredible and SHES ON YOUR TEAM. If you’re looking for a photographer look no further than Marissa. I can’t wait to continue to work with her for other future photography needs. Thank you Marissa ❤️

Marissa and Josh are amazing to work with!

Marissa and Josh arrived at our venue early before we did. We had to redo our wedding photos and I forgot my bouquet. Josh went to the main office and was able to create one for me. It turned out beautiful, and it looked real! Who does that?! He actually put the bouquet together with spare flowers from our venue. I was very amazed that he did that.
Marissa took the best pictures. They were amazing! my eyes wide open when I saw the picture she captured.
She’s so fun to work with. She will arrange your hair and your poses before she takes a picture. They work together, Josh and Marissa to get the best pictures for you. They are a great team!
They are so easy to get along with, and it was so much fun to hang out with them that evening for our photo shoot . I was very confident that my pictures were going to turn out great because you can tell Marissa knows what she’s doing and wants to get the best pictures, and they did, they were more than great. They went to beyond my expectations.
I would highly recommend them if you want your pictures to come out perfect the first time. They will be our photographers from here on out for any special occasion or family picture even. My husband and I really enjoyed working with them.
Sincerely,
Eddie and Gabby Leon

Worth every moment captured!

Mari is the best photographer that I have ever had the pleasure of working with! Not only is she professional, but she is also very real and down to earth! She is able to capture moments that we didn't even known that we wanted from our wedding! She was and is amazing, smart, beautiful, talented and last but not least, hillarious! Everyone that met her at our wedding adored her! She also took my brothers wedding photos and i was so impressed that 11 years later i asked her to be our photographer! She is fantastic with communication and very easy to work with! My husband and I highly recommend her for any event! Thank you Mari, you are the best!
