"From the moment we met her, she made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera -- which is not easy to do! Her energy is so positive and laid-back, and she guided us through everything with such ease. We honestly had the best time through the day and the photos turned out even better than we imagined. We're so grateful to have had her capture such a special moment in our lives. Highly, highly recommend Marissa to anyone looking for not just beautiful photos, but a genuinely great experience!"
"Marissa is truly amazing! She made the entire experience feel so natural and fun."

Marissa was absolutely amazing! She knows how to turn any area of scenery into a work of art with her photography. I’ve never had professional photos done before and didn’t know what to expect but after seeing our albums from our elopement, I was so happy!
