“Marissa is AMAZING!!! She shot our wedding about a week ago and we cannot put into words how much we loved having her there. She gave us a sneak peak within a couple of days and her pictures are AMAZING, to say the least! She made the day so much fun and easy for us and really we cannot explain how great she is. HIGHLY recommend for any of your photography needs. WE ABSOLUTELY LOVE MARISSA!”
Anna + Katie
“Marissa makes her photography sessions seem like you are simply hanging out with a friend. She provides you with comfort, direction, and confidence to look your best for whatever occasion you are celebrating. Her kindness makes you want to take photos with your loved one (coming from someone who is often shy in front of a lens). We will always book Marissa for future occasions. She is an Asheville gem.”
Morgan + Nick
“When we were deciding who to hire to capture our wedding day, we had many different factors to consider. We talked about experience, pricing and portfolios of course but most importantly, we wanted someone who is passionate about what they do and passionate about love. Marissa was the PERFECT choice for us! Her work truly speaks for itself - With an incredible eye for beauty and a genuine love for people, Marissa exceeds all expectations. Her fun spirit makes for a day full of laughter and wonderful memories!”

I've been where you are before
I know what it feels like to be in your shoes. I've planned photoshoots, felt uncomfy, not known where to put my hands or what to do with my face lol... I know what it feels like.
There are some things I do regret spending money on in life, but the one thing I do not is Photo + Video.
