About

We are all about light, love, and laughter!

Weddings are jubilant and dynamic and your photos should be a reflection of that joy! We are illustrative photographers which means we combine a photo-journalistic and traditional approach. This combines capturing natural candid moments as they happen, and timeless posed shots. Our goal is to tell a natural story through our photos from the details that are easy to forget to the moments you'll never get back. We are especially drawn to bold colors, bright light and clean lines. Our images are edited to be bright, natural, clean and crisp, with colors as vibrant and true as they are in life.

We also take pride in making sure your experience is personal, unique, and individualized to your needs and that includes tailoring our pricing to fit your vision. We are here to lend our expertise along the way, we want to know all the details including your colors and vibe (we love them all!) and we will help you with timelines, vendor referrals, pinning boutonnieres, fluffing your dress and making sure your day goes as smoothly and picture-filled as possible.

Our ideal clients are fun, jovial and full of good vibes! You want your wedding to be a true reflection of your relationship and you want to be surrounded by your nearest and dearest. You have put a lot of thought into the details of your day, oh and you want amazing photos of everything! If that sounds like you, let’s be friends and create something amazing together!

O-M-G Fantastic and Fabulous Photographers

We knew in an instant we wanted to work with Marisa and Tim when we met them on Zoom! And our journey together was outstanding! They were so available to answer questions along the way. They attended our site visit, so they were familiar with the location. They knew who we were and our style by the day of the wedding so with ease and delight they captured our magical day! We are forever grateful for their amazing photos and friendship! Their work is OUTSTANDING!!! It was our best decision to hire them!!!

The most perfect flat lay photography!

After Marisa reached out to introduce herself, I quickly looked over her flat lay photography and immediately knew I had to hire her. It just so happened I was in the market to have some of my recent wedding stationery photographed and I'm SO incredibly happy Marisa found me. My client's invitation suites were not only perfectly styled, but Marisa also takes the time to photograph the little details that make each suite unique. I now have cohesive photographs I can proudly display on my website and social media outlets. I will hire Marisa over and over again and it's so nice knowing I don't have to worry about styling/photographing on my own and can now use the time I would have used to style on my own to design and serve my clients well. THANK YOU, MARISA!

Simply the BEST!

We hired Marisa and Tim to photograph our wedding, and they included an engagement session so we could get to know each other and so they could help get us comfortable in front of the camera in advance of our big day (we aren't used to being photographed at all!) Their personalities are infectious and kept our energy up during the session — get ready for Tim's dad jokes and for stories about their dogs — and we couldn't be more overjoyed at the results. They capture so much light, love, and laugher, with an incredible eye for detail. We and our families will treasure these photos forever... we cannot wait for the wedding, and to have the Petersons in our lives for a good long time. Hiring a photographer for a huge life event is an investment, and the Petersons are so, so worth it. 10/10, cannot recommend highly enough.
