Here to be your park ranger, tour guide, and photographer all wrapped up into one!

 

I have had my fair share of adventure and if you want someone to capture your day + help plan your dream elopement day, then I'm so glad you're here!

 

If you are looking for a photographer that will capture all the moments

Big + Small

then let's starting planning your dream day!

A day built to perfection by you with all the help you could need!

Can't find the perfect ceremony spot?



I will meet with you two over a call to discuss your dream elopement day + then curate a list of locations to help you decide!

Is packing stressing you out?


packing everything you need for your day can be stressful! I will provide a packing list to fit your location + activities. All you could need packed into a list made just for you two.

Don't know what to do for 8 hours?


i am happy to help provide you with local activities in your chosen location. Most couples think that 8 hours may be too long but time flies when you're having fun! We will create a stress-free timeline to fit your day perfectly.

Permits Adding Fuel to The fire?


once your location is chosen, I will work alongside you to find all the necessary permits. I will speak with rangers and other necessary parties to arrange your day!

Based in Virginia + Raised in California 


While photography is my passion, I also spend lots of my time in the great outdoors with my sweet husband + two pups! We are a family with a great love for adventure + the outdoors. I grew up in California spending most of my childhood outdoors. As I got older, the adventures just kept on growing! This thrill for adventure landed me capturing love in some of the most beautiful places with some rad couples. When I'm not capturing your special moments, I work at my local hospital + I am pursuing ultrasound technology full time as well!! It is a lot, I know right? It may be a lot but I love what I do + I am so grateful to be able to capture so many beautiful memories for my clients + their loved ones!


FUN FACT: Me + my husband have the goal to visit all 63 US National Parks! We are at number 10 out of  63!

Testimonial

"We had an incredible experience with Marissa as our photographer at Rocky Mountain National Park. Despite an unexpected rainstorm, Marissa embraced the weather and turned it into a fun, memorable adventure.  The photos were absolutely stunning, capturing both our joy and the beauty of the park perfectly."
