    A great photographer, from a guy's perspective

    I'd like to give a big vote of confidence to Marissa's photography. As a guy, I often feel awkward having my photo taken, especially posed shots. Marissa made the entire process painless and dug out some absolutely amazing images of my entire family - including our young kids. We hired Marissa to take family portraits and her vibe was great, getting everyone to loosen up and be truly happy during the process. She never missed a special moment.

    As a photographer myself, I'm often hypercritical of other photographers - from their gear, to their composition, to their attitudes, and beyond. Marissa brings the right equipment and a great demeanor, and frames shots incredibly well - a true professional.

    It was money well spent to hire Marissa and I would do so again for any important event.

    Best family portrait session ever!

    We did a family portrait session with Marissa and it was so wonderful. I always feel so awkward with portraits, but she set us all at ease, even my squiggly 3.5 year old, and magically captured some beautiful photos of our family that I know we will treasure forever. She was so warm and had a relaxed vibe that made the entire experience feel seamless and comfortable. I’m telling all my engaged friends to hire her for their weddings!💛

    Marissa is truly an artist and so easy to work with

    Marissa is a truly gifted wedding photographer. She captured the most beautiful photos of my wedding and her energy is so calming, she was such a pleasure to work with. Her editing style is gorgeous - you can see it in all of her work. I was able to relax and really embrace the moments during our portraits, which I always have a hard time doing. I would work with Marissa again and again. I cannot recommend her enough!!

    Marissa Joy Daly - Absolute No Brainer to Hire

    I couldn't have been happier with our choice to hire Marissa to shoot our wedding. We are very particular about photography (we interviewed 11 photographers) and she was above and beyond the best we could could find. We were looking for two main qualities in a photographer. First, her work had to be amazing. Second, she had to be someone we would want to spend the majority of our wedding day with as you see your photographer a lot!

    On the first note, we were blown away by Marissa's work. She is a true artist. She has such an amazing ability to capture a moment...even the ones you do not know are occurring. She has an eye that cannot be taught and the end results are just beautiful. During our interviewing, we found that photographers are either great at "moments" but their formal shots weren't anything special or the opposite. With Marissa, she is truly wonderful at both.

    In addition to her work, she is truly a joy to be around. I wish we lived closer so I could force her to be friends with us :). She made me feel so calm and taken care of on my wedding day. She made our families feel comfortable, scoped all the sites in advance and just made the process seamless. Even when our guests picked her up on the dance floor, she just went with it. She was so fun to have at our reception.

    We just received our photos and they are amazing. I can't believe what a great job she did. Do not even question hiring her! I will be hiring Marissa for lots of family photos in the future. Her work is just magic!

    10/10 recommend Marissa!

    We got married at a unique spot with a small group of family—and Marissa was the perfect photographer for the occasion. She was thoughtful - especially given one of us was particularly camera shy! - and creative - leveraging the space in ways that were beyond my comprehension. She also turned the photos ready at record speed despite what I’m sure was a time-consuming editing. We are grateful to have such special pictures from Marissa to cherish our day for decades to come.

    Marissa is the absolute BEST!

    First of all, Marissa is one of the most talented photographers out there. Seriously, she's one of the best there is. She absolutely crushed our wedding photography and gave us TONS of memories that we will cherish for the rest of our lives. We gush about them nearly on a daily basis. Trust us, you will NOT be disappointed with the product. At all. You'd be lucky to have her capture your wedding day. On top of that, we absolutely LOVED just having Marissa be around for every moment. She is one of the kindest and warmest people you could ever have around you. She made everyone feel so incredibly comfortable around the camera. Our families raved about her approach, her personality and her ability to capture moments no one even saw coming. She can make any kid stand still and smile for a photo on command, too...which is arguably one of her most impressive skills. The entire process with Marissa was top notch, professional and smooth. When you work with her, you know you're working with both a world class photographer and an amazing human being. We never had to worry about a thing with her in our corner. 10 out of 10 would recommend.

    Marissa and her work are a DREAM!

    Hiring Marissa was the single best decision made for our wedding, aside from the actually getting married part. Every interaction with her was supportive, kind, and thoughtful. She captured the most beautiful moments of our day! Before I even met my husband, I knew Marissa would be my wedding photographer, and I am thrilled that she was!

    Truly incredible wedding photographer

    Marissa is truly talented at all aspects of her job. We could not have imagined a better experience working with a wedding photographer. From the first planning phone call to the morning of the wedding, Marissa brought a calming and organized presence and the kind of true excitement that any couple would want from the photographer capturing such a special day. Marissa sees her job as truly understanding a couple's essence and capturing your wedding day in photographs that express how you want to celebrate and remember your day. You can see from her varied work that no matter the style of wedding photos you want, Marissa has an incredible talent for capturing each wedding she shoots in a unique way that authentically expresses each couple. We could not have been more impressed by Marissa, and we are truly thankful for and shocked by the beyond stunning photos we have of our wedding. The bottom line: Marissa comes with our absolute highest recommendations.

    Marissa is an amazing photographer! She took newborn pictures for us, and she has taken photos of our family on several other special occasions. If you are looking for a truly skilled photographer who captures amazing photos, she is your person. She is an award winning photographer and has been featured in magazines for her talent in capturing the special moments and making them look beautiful! She has captured so many unbelievable moments in time for our family. I have her pictures displayed all over my house and on social media, and I am constantly getting compliments and questions about who my photographer is. It is such a great feeling to receive your photos and be blown away by how beautiful they are. Hire Marissa and don't look back! You will love your photos, share them everywhere, and adore the memories they stir in the years to come!

    I cannot say enough about this AMAZING photographer. She is way more than a photographer, she is a true artist. I did a bridal session with her and she was my wedding day photographer. Marissa really listened to the look and style that I was going for an completely nailed it. If you are looking for a photographer who thinks out of the box and can deliver breathtaking shots, she is the girl for you!

    We are so lucky to have had Marissa as our wedding photographer. She made the entire process so easy and the photographs she took were incredible... we have received so many compliments- they look like they are straight out of a magazine.
    Marissa was so great to work with and made sure to get the shots we were looking for- from details while getting ready, to arranging our first look, to sneaking off before the reception to capture the most perfect light.
    We highly recommend Marissa to anyone who wants their special day documented in a beautifully, creative and unique way.

    Best photographer in Southern California!

    Our family portraits came out beyond our expectations. Marissa was effortlessly able to engage, direct, and capture our blended family which ranges from toddlers to teenagers—showing everyone in their best light. Our package featured posed and candid photos that portrayed our family’s personality with the beautiful backdrop of the Santa Monica Mountains in Southern California. An added bonus to this experience was Marissa’s quick turnaround time in getting the photos back for family holiday cards. This was a positive experience with a priceless outcome—even the teenagers have agreed we should do this again next year. Thank you Marissa Daly!

    Marissa's attention to detail is absolutely incredible. The moments she captures and with such an artistic eye is awe inspiring. Every photo that she presents to you is its own work of art. She is so easy to work with; she knows exactly what shots need to happen and keeps everyone on time while always coming across nice and friendly. She is flexible with your schedule, is always there to serve you and goes above and beyond. An absolute STAR of a photographer and a beautiful human being!

    Marissa is truly amazing at what she does. Not only does she take the most stunning photographs, she makes you feel comfortable in front of and around the camera and really brings out the best in people. We used Marissa for our engagement and wedding photos. She is quick to reply, helps you with planning your timeline, and worked extensively with us to make sure we were within our budget but also got everything we wanted in for our photography package. My fiancé and I would not describe ourselves as overly photogenic but every photo Marissa has taken of us has turned out to be gorgeous. On my wedding day she was a joy to work with and made me feel special, unique, and beautiful. She also handled multiple family fiascos (gathering everyone for pictures, last minute photo requests from random people, etc) with grace and professionalism. I cant recommend her enough.

    Marissa and Co. are the best in the business. We have only gotten a small sample so far and we are blown away.

    Planning was easy and professional. She took into account of wishes and ideas and helped us fine tune what our wedding experience would be.

    During the events (we hired her for our church ceremony, rehearsal dinner, and reception) she was courteous, friendly, and had a strong desire to help the wedding maximize it's potential. Other than scripted shots, she and her team were barely noticeable, capturing intimate moments with family and friends.

    We cannot recommend her any more highly! Book her ASAP!

    My family has worked with Marissa multiple times now. Her pictures are flawless and truly capture my children. For my son's birthday she suggested being outside, in his element, to really capture his personality. (And some great lighting!) He was so happy, running around and laughing with Marissa. She was on the ground with him and chasing him through the playground. I think he forgot she was taking pictures! I will treasure his boyhood forever through these pictures!
