LIFE IS WORTH CAPTURING

But Why?

Do you ever find yourself wishing you would have just taken a photo or a video of moments of your life? Like pivotal moments of your life you want to remember forever. Moments you want to show your kids and grandkids one day. Tears you cried in moments of deep pain that made you stronger. Laughs and joy filled moments you and your spouse can look back on one day when you’re 80 years old. Memories and days that could go down in history and leave a legacy for generations to come. And not because it’s some big moment in history, but because


It’s simple
It’s mundane
It’s your life

And your life has beauty, purpose, creation, and moments worth capturing and remembering. And not because of anything that you did, but because God created it. God created your life. He’s in every detail. He crafts every moment. He’s intentional. He brings beauty to the mundane.

Not only is life worth capturing, YOUR life is worth capturing.

I’M HERE TO COME ALONGSIDE YOU IN SOME OF THE MOST MEMORABLE MOMENTS OF YOUR LIFE

To capture them.
To celebrate with you.
To cheer you on.
To support you.
 To encourage you

MEET MARISSA

FROM GENERATION TO GENERATION

PASSED DOWN. FOREVER. THROUGH PHOTO & FILM

LIFE IS FLEETING

 Each moment is there for a second and gone the next. We’re only getting older. We don’t know yet what tomorrow will bring. But we have right now. This very present moment. And that moment. That small fraction of a second. Or minute. Or hour. Or day


Where you...

laughed uncontrollably.
cried in heartbreak.
ran in an open field.
married the love of your life.
birthed your child.
shared a meal with friends.
 watched the sunset or sunrise.
drove with the windows down.
witnessed someone take a monumental
moment in their faith.
graduated from college.
travelled across the world.
road your bike for the first time.
moved your body and got stronger.
danced.


The moments where God brings glimpses of Heaven to earth. The extravagant. The mundane. And everything in between.


I’t’s All Worth Capturing

LOVE LETTERS

Our wedding was one of the best days of our lives and Marissa not only helped capture the day beautifully but also was a huge part in making the day what it was. Marissa took time to get to know us and our vision for the day. Her energy the day of was so fun and she really kept our focus on each other and kept the day running smoothly. She may have even calmed down a bridezilla moment or two. When we look back at our photos from that day, Marissa captured how our day felt and the photos are things we will cherish forever. She is wonderfully talented, intentional, and creative. Marissa goes above and beyond to make you feel more like a friend than a client and is guaranteed to be one of the most excited people for you on our day. She’s simply the best, we couldn’t have asked for anything better in a photographer & friend!

We chose Marissa as our wedding photographer based on a recommendation from a friend and we could not have been happier!!! She was amazing to work with from start to finish and made us feel so comfortable. My husband and I are both a bit camera shy but Marissa made everything feel so relaxed and fun. She was completely present throughout the whole day and went above and beyond to capture all the special moments. And on top of all of that, our pictures turned out magazine worthy!! They are seriously stunning! We would 1000% recommend Marissa!

The investment Marissa makes with her clients is incredible! Marissa communicated throughout the entire process, took the time to get to know us as a couple, helped us create a wedding day timeline, & scheduled multiple check in meetings before our wedding day. Marissa went above and beyond expectations with her creativity and experience making our wedding day smooth & enjoyable. Marissa is also so passionate about making you as a couple feel confident and comfortable in front of a camera! Our wedding day would not have been the same if we didn’t have Marissa creating an environment with plenty of joy, creativity, & passion! We are so blessed to have been able to work with Marissa and benefit from her work! We highly recommend Marissa!
