EMOTIONAL + EARTHY PHOTOGRAPHY FOR NON-TRADITIONAL COUPLES ...
Marissa is amazing! We felt so comfortable during the shoot and the pictures came out even better than I ever could have imagined. We can’t wait to work with her again in the future!
I highly recommend hiring Marissa! She has a beautiful eye and is go good at capturing those candid moments that don't look awkward. She is professional, responsive, and makes you feel right at ease in front of the camera.
Marissa was absolutely incredible. She made Ann and I so comfortable behind the camera. We are not the most photogenic people, but she made some magic happen. We had a blast in the desert (Palm Springs) and the experience we had was beyond anything we ever thought we would have. Marissa was always down to check out new spots, offer posing advice, but mostly she encouraged us to just be ourselves. There were times where we got lost in the experience and that's when some of our favorite photos came to light. Marissa, thank you. We will cherish these photos forever. :)
Marissa is an incredible photographer and an amazing person. She shot our engagement and wedding photos back in 2015 in Big Sur, CA. To this day we still gush about the photos she took and how lucky we were to have her there for our special day. We could not recommend Marissa enough! She is super talented, professional, and responsive. We loved working with her and how seamless the whole experience was for us.
Marissa was overall the most genuine, caring and comforting photographer I’ve ever experienced. When we reached to her through social media, we were nervous traveling across states to get eloped much less meet a stranger that has now become a very special person to us. She made the whole day more than what we ever wanted and from the very moment I knew we would be in good hands and we never looked back!
Where do I start?!.. Marissa is everything and more when it comes to kindness, direction, authenticity, and an overall organic nature. My girlfriend and I appreciate you making us feel loved 🏳️🌈, safe and FLY during our shoot. I know the force of nature (wind) wasn’t working with us but you somehow made it FUN and the results of the photos pumped up our confidence! A photographer that knows how to turn something unexpected into optimism and adventure is a beautiful trait to have! Thanks a million 💚
Being comfortable in front of the camera is the hardest part of photo shoots for me and Marissa is the queen of comfort 100%. She made my girlfriend and I feel like we’d done a million shoots with her and made every second worth showing up. She’s great at directing, extremely responsive, and her edits are perfect. I highly recommend.
Suchhh an amazing experience! Marissa is one of the warmest, kindest people you'll ever meet. We'd never done a professional couples shoot so when she hit us up we decided, "Why not?" We're so glad we went through with the experience because she was super welcoming. It never felt awkward. On top of that she is such a talented photographer, and I'm so glad she captured such beautiful moments between us. Highly highly recommend, you will love these photos!
Marissa was the absolute best photographer! She was so amazing to work with! And captured the most amazing day of our life, our wedding! We couldn’t be more grateful for her, and all of the amazing photos we get to have for the rest of our lives. Amazing photographer and person!
She’s an amazing photographer! We loved our pictures and shoot, she made us feel comfortable and cute and I wouldn’t have wanted anyone else for our engagement/baby announcement shoot. She has a great eye and very easy to work with. Highly recommend!

EMOTIONAL + EARTHY PHOTOGRAPHY FOR NON-TRADITIONAL COUPLES
Based in Southern California // Available for travel worldwide
I want to capture your love in all of it's raw, goofy, messy, joyful glory. This may result in photos where your hair isn't absolutely perfect or you smiled a little too big, and that's perfection to me. Love isn’t flawless and your photos shouldn’t be either. 
Your photography experience is more than just having pretty photos to look at in the end. It's about remembering the moments that created those images. I don't want you remembering how I posed you and how awkward you felt. I want you to reminisce on how hard you laughed while you were dancing, how they kissed you gently when you were nervous, and how you felt so much love for one another in that moment. This is what the Marissa Kay experience is all about!
