About

It is both my love for life, and my love for art that motivates me to capture the photographs that I do. I love interacting with all types of people, capturing their spirit as naturally as I can through the camera lens. It is for that reason that I do not work in a studio, where pictures are staged, behind bright lights, but rather utilize natural light in any space. I might ask you to do something that seems really silly, or odd, but it will usually produce your favorite image out of the group. I do not do many of the cliche wedding photos you might see on pinterest or other wedding pages, rather, I prefer to capture natural emotion and an overall sense of the day.

I find it to be important to have fun with my clients and make them feel as comfortable with me as if I were a friend because that level of comfort produces the most natural and relaxed looking images. And lets face it, some people are just not used to being photographed so I am here to help you feel at ease being in front of the camera, and maybe laugh a little too!

My photography teacher in college used to say, "When you make a picture" which I thought sounded so strange at the time, but in my years of experience I now see what he meant. Each photographer has their own way of looking at something and it's their own interpretation of it that makes it their own creation, its not just simply pointing and shooting with a good camera or lens.

I hope that it is your interest in my interpretation that brought you to my site today, and that it is my interpretation that will keep you coming back!

Simply Wonderful

Marisa photographed my daughter's wedding in 2010 so when I got engaged 9 years later, I knew right away I'd be asking her to do my photos. Highly recommended!

Gorgeous Wedding Photos!

I first booked Marisa for a paparazzi-style engagement shoot (she literally hid behind some cars with a telephoto lens to capture candids of me popping the question) and she delivered absolutely stunning photos that truly captured one of the best moments of our lives. Even at this early stage, Marisa's incredible talent for photographing the true spirit of her subjects was on display. We have three of our engagement shots hanging up and they are always conversation starters. We loved the engagement shots so much, we even incorporated elements into our invitations and day of decor!

We thought we knew what we were getting after we saw the amazing engagement photos, but we really weren't prepared for the wedding shots. Marisa stunned again, capturing every important moment from our wedding day. From our pre-wedding first-look photos, to the ceremony, to the reception, Marisa managed to take photo after photo that embodied all of the energy and spirit of the day. We now count many of those wedding pictures as our favorites of friends, family, and of course ourselves. Words really do not do justice to Marisa's keen eye and talent with the camera.

Beyond her creativity, knack for capturing just the right angles and using all of her environments, and ability to create genuinely candid moments even during photoshoots, Marisa was a joy to work with throughout the process. She was as excited as we were to take pictures and it really showed. She also really helped to plan our day so that we made sure to get pictures with everyone important to us without taking us away from all the fun of our receptions. She's an absolute pro and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to all of my friends (I already have and she's done amazing work for them too!).

Marissa did an amazing job at my wedding, my friends and relatives are still talking about the photos and the wedding was in May! Marissa was very responsive and flexible in terms of where/when to meet. We discussed everything in person and she was also available via text/email for any questions. For a NYC photographer with such talent, her value is the best, and I shopped around. She has a lot of experience with wedding photographing so I let her direct most of the photos and so glad I did! She took very unique pictures in Williamsburg, where my wedding was, making amazing use of the murals, the park, the city skyline and the restaurant where we had the dinner. She also had the idea to take pictures with us at Joe's pizza and they were incredible! SO NYC! She was also gracious enough when she accepted to be our witness on the spot! I was so in love with her pictures that I recently reached out to tell her I want to have a baby just so she could photograph us again (her baby pictures on her site are gorgeous). I highly recommend her!
