I’m Marissa, the professional third wheel who loves to BINGE watch a good show on Netflix (helllooo Schitts Creek), enjoy a good campfire, and love to capture stories like yours.

This is the place where I love sharing all of my recent shoots with families, weddings, branding, tips and tricks for photographers, and all things weddings planning, as well as life behind the scenes and travel! Whether you're searching for your perfect wedding photographer or wanting your brand captured for social media, I'm always down to chat over an iced cold brew!

I photograph destination weddings and family sessions around the the USA but my heart and home is in the Chicagoland Area. Though I frequently travel back to Kansas City to be there for my amazing clients every 3 months. I mean… I love to travel everywhere- it’s hard to keep me in one place for long. I photograph to tell your story so you can relive it time and time again. I want you (and your mom) to laugh and cry when you look at your photos. So much is happening on a wedding day, or at your session it's difficult to take it all in and process it all in the moment. It's my job to capture that energy, to take all the emotions and all the stories and to put it in a bottle and keep it there for you for always.

Thank you for visiting our blog page, where you can find wedding galleries, family sessions, travel sessions and branding sessions and beyond
