I'm so happy you've made it here, I'm Marissa. I've been in the wedding industry for nearly 10 years and am beyond blessed to do what I love as a career. While based in Florida, I have the pleasure of photographing couples all across the U.S. Fueled by connection and intentionality, I'm deeply committed to each couple to assure their photographs look and feel like them. At the end of the day, they're so much more than photographs, they're memories, your memories, that deserve to be preserved for a lifetime. 

Not only do I get to live out my passion, I get to do it with my husband, Thomas. I'm thankful to have him by my side throughout wedding days as my second photographer, filmmaker and best friend. He is a essential part of my work as he is my main inspiration. Going through planning a wedding myself changed the game for me and I saw what's really important-your love. It's not so much about the details, the guest list or what goes wrong, but about your celebrated story.

MY APPROACH

You're experience with me begins long before you step in front of the lens. I pour my time and energy to get to know your story. Not only does this allow me to build a personal connection, but capture all the moments that look and feel like you. I want you two to be yourselves. I want you to look back on your photos and remember how you felt, not fabricated from something else. No shot lists or preconceived notions of how it should be. No expectations of perfection. I'm here to celebrate you two the way you are. I want you to be present and take it all in. I'm here to tell it all and bring your vision to life. Whatever is important to you, we're there.

I'm a chaser of light, inspired by nostalgia, films, melodies, old photographs, tell old tales and things that make you feel. I draw inspiration from my surroundings, the people in them and the stories they tell. There's something remarkable to me that people have an unequivocally unique story to share and I have the opportunity and trust to preserve it.

I specialize in documentary and editorial photography as well as film inspired photos for that warm, soulful look that evokes a sense of timelessness. From natural light to direct flash, I welcome all scenarios and find joy in creating art and capturing moments as is.
