Documentary Love Photographer Based in GA + FL but more than willing to travel.
SELF LOVE, COUPLE LOVE, WEDDING LOVE + EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN
EVER WISH YOU HAD A TIME MACHINE? I SURE DO…
If I could, I would go back to my younger days and soak up every laugh. I would soak up every good memory spent with my family, and I would enjoy all the little moments I took for granted. Sadly, the marvel universe has failed to make time-traveling a reality…(yet).
Until then, consider my galleries as your very own time machine. My heart’s desire is that with every photo, you’re transported back to that special moment during our session. As you click through your final gallery, every whispered word comes back to mind and you can’t help but feel in love again. Give me the opportunity to tell your story in a way it’s never been told before :)
Hello, I’m Marissa :)
A storytelling, passionate, documentary photographer based in Atlanta, Georgia + Tampa, Florida. I’m a girl who loves people, traveling, and serving individuals in love; whether it’s self-love (a portrait session) or capturing the sweet kisses between you and your partner… I am here to capture the little moments that are so easy to forget.
After surviving the hardest year of my life, I knew it was time for a reality check. I began to realize the heart behind my photographer business changed…
I’m still the bubbly extrovert that you know and love. I’m still the girl with the big personality who is ready to cheer you on as you walk down the aisle. The only difference is that my “why” has changed. Allow me to explain…
THE WHY: As humans, we are so quick to forget the lovely moments. We are quick to move on to the next thing. We’re quick to forget the moments of joy and the moments of laughter. Instead, we choose to complain about what we lack rather than what we have.
Believe me, I know that life is hard! However, we do not make it through the tough moments of life with loud complaints and grumbling. We make it through these tough moments by choosing gratitude and by remembering that joy is just around the corner.
“Fix Your Eyes on the Good.”
I want to use my gifts and talents to help people remember the good moments. It’s not just a photo to hang on your wall. It’s a reminder. It’s a reminder of the covenant and vow you made to your person. When you’re standing in your kitchen having the biggest fight ever, on your wall hangs a photo of you and your spouse saying “I do.” In that moment, I hope that you’re reminded of the good days. I hope that you’re reminded of the moments you laughed so hard your belly hurt; I hope that you’re reminded of the first time you and your man said “I love you.” I hope you’re reminded of the beautiful covenant and vow you made with your beloved. These photos will remind you that love is a daily choice; a choice that is more than worth it.
“Helping you remember the lovely moments.”
