For the starry-eyed, romantic, and nostalgic
For the starry-eyed, romantic, and nostalgic
A pause in time, a love story forever.
Your wedding isn’t just a day... it’s a living, breathing memory, told through photographs that feel like poetry.
In a world that rushes by, I capture the quiet magic. The laughter, the tears, and the fleeting moments. My heart behind photography is to create a space where time feels slower--where you can quiet the noise, lean into the people you love most, and simply be. Whether it’s your wedding day or a season of life you want to remember forever, I’m here to capture the laughter, the tears, and the in-between magic. The result? Heartfelt photographs that preserve the unguarded beauty of your story, exactly as it unfolds.

Washington hybrid photographer specializing in Wedding photography & Super 8 films.
My business is more than just a service; it reflects my soul.
Hey there, I’m Marisa! I’m super stoked you’re here. I’m a washington photographer and super 8 filmmaker specializing in PNW and destination weddings, and not just on the best day of your life, but for the rest of your life too.
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.
As sentimental and detail-oriented souls, we yearn to preserve the present, to hold onto the magic of now.
In the quiet moments when life slows down, there’s a beauty that often goes unnoticed — the everyday mundane moments that mean the most.
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.
We adore Marisa and could not recommend her enough for your big 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!
she's worth it all and more!

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.
Marisa was incredible!
KIND WORDS
Torie and Elias
Capturing incredible legacies of people who aren’t afraid to be 100% themselves. The beautiful souls who embrace messy hair and deep belly laughs, who crave cozy intimacy and untamed adventure.
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.
