Marissa was absolutely incredible to work with! Our mountain elopement felt like a dream come true, and she captured it so beautifully. When we got to the top of the mountain, the wind was absolutely insane but she didn’t get flustered for a second. She pivoted effortlessly, redirected us, and still made the shoot feel calm and fun. The photos turned out even better than we could’ve imagined. We never felt rushed or awkward her direction felt natural, and her warm personality made the whole experience even more special. She’s truly a joy to work with and someone I’d recommend a thousand times over.
