Life moves fast, and it's easy to get overwhelmed. We rush from one thing to the next without pausing to enjoy the important moments. Deep down, we all want to slow down, enjoy the present, and be with our loved ones. I aim to create a peaceful space where you can forget the chaos and truly soak up the moment. Whether it's your wedding day or capturing family memories, I'm here to help you slow down and connect. You'll walk away with heartfelt photos that capture your life's true, unguarded beauty.
I fell head over heels for capturing life’s everyday magic. I’m always seeking adventure to capture those heart-pounding love stories and constantly on a romantic journey to appreciate the small. As a hopeless romantic, my passion lies in crafting magical adventures for couples and capturing fleeting moments with your family. I am committed to capturing every moment ensuring no detail is overlooked.
Picture us wandering through the enchanting Columbia River gorge or along the Oregon Coast shores—these places that light my soul on fire. But what truly excites me is the prospect of exploring new and meaningful places unique to your heart. The joy of discovery in these special locations is an adventure in itself. If you’re looking for a kindred spirit—an old friend who brings calm and authenticity and seamlessly blends into your wedding day. Then just point me toward your love, and I’m there.
It’s only natural to feel a pang of anxiety at the thought of these precious, spontaneous interactions slipping away, lost to the rush of time. These are the magical moments I want to preserve, ensuring that the genuine and unguarded interactions are savored so that you can revisit them and never forget those perfectly imperfect moments you’ll long to look back on in years to come.
We felt so comfortable during both our engagement shoot and wedding with her. She will match you and your partners energy perfectly and will make the whole process seamless. She is someone who goes above and beyond for you to make sure you get everything you want out of your photos and we couldn’t have chose a better person to capture the love and craziness on our wedding day.
I had an engagement session done by Marisa, and Oh man incredible! My fiancé and I are very shy when it comes to being in front of the camera. Marisa made us feel comfortable, and confident while taking our photos. She creates absolute magic, you can tell her passion is her career. Your photos won’t be cookie cutter, they are very artistic and candid!
Throughout the entire process Marisa was transparent, communicated clearly, was kind, willing to answer any and all questions and was extremely professional! Marisa shot both our engagement photos and our wedding and we continued to blown away by her ability to capture our love, our personalities, and ourselves so authentically! She helped us both to feel comfortable and captured us in such a beautiful way. No matter how many times we go back to look at our pictures, we are continuously blown away by her work!
My husband and I got lucky enough to have Marisa be our wedding photographer. She was so amazing every step of the way and captured the most beautiful and meaningful photos. She communicated clearly and promptly with not only us, but also our coordinator. I could not thank her enough for everything she worked so hard for our wedding day.
I am emotionally invested in every single person I photograph. As a lifelong or “legacy” photographer, my commitment to my clients extends beyond a single session. From the excitement and romance of their wedding day to the tender anticipation of motherhood and every precious milestone that follows, I am there to document it all. The joyful chaos, the quiet moments of connection, and the spontaneous laughter during everyday life, I am committed to preserving these memories with my whole heart. I strive to be more than just another Washington and Montana photographer; I aim to be a friend, someone to stand back and marvel at your journey. Someone to stand in awe from the sidelines and show you the unbelievable magic you create daily without even realizing.
