Let me start at the beginning when I discovered feelings for photography growing up.

One of my most treasured things is getting together with friends and family and looking at old photos. There was always a story behind each one. Watching the people close to me smile, laugh, and cry as they re-lived those memories.

I am a BC Babe, growing up in North Vancouver. I was surrounded by the city skyline, ocean, and mountains. My love of nature runs through all of my photography as there is an endless amount of spectacular locations to capture memories in BC.

I now reside in Kelowna and travel to all ends of the Okanagan. Capturing intimate weddings and amazing couples! You’ll even find me snapping photos in the Lower Mainland from time to time.

I bring over 8 years of working closely with clients in a variety of settings, bringing compassion, laughter, and inclusivity.

I look forward to connecting with future adventurous couples!

Marissa is such a talented photographer! Not only does she capture beautiful images, but her personality shines through during the shoot and makes you feel at ease - which is ideal for someone like myself who isn’t very comfortable in front of the camera. She helps direct you so you don’t have to worry about being a professional model! The photos of myself and my pup are beyond what I imagined and I’m going to cherish them forever. 🤍 I could not have asked for a more personable, professional person to have this experience with!

Marissa is an amazingly talented photographer! Her energy and willingness to literally run through the forest to take great photos was awesome! She's professional but also kind and listens to what you want - we are so grateful and absolutely love our wedding photos! Thank you so much Marissa!

The very wonderful marissa has been photographing me from the beginning of her photography journey, she has been nothing short of talented from day 1. Being someone who is so awkward in front of a camera, who never quite knows what to do with my limbs or face… she has always found ways to make me feel comfortable, and my most beautiful self. With her unique skillset she has always turned my favourite memories into beautiful, meaningful art that I get to keep forever. I have always appreciated her warm and bubbly presence making it so easy to have fun with being on the other end of a camera. Marissa has helped with letting go of my brains expectations and instead focusing on the authentic moment. I have watched her passion for photography morph into a true gift and I highly recommend her to anyone looking to capture their moments too

I cannot put into words how unbelievably talented Marissa is, but I’m going to try.

I chose Marissa to do a family photoshoot for myself, my boyfriend, and our dog and I truly couldn’t be any happier with the choice! Marissa is lovely - I have worked with her now both professionally and personally and she is an absolute dream to work with. She was very understanding and flexible when we had to rearrange our dates for the shoot, she listened and understood my vision for the photos, and she was AMAZING with our pup! I can’t say enough goods things about her. She captured our relationship so perfectly and candidly.

We are SO GRATEFUL to Marissa for these photos because this ended up being the day my now fiancé proposed. We will cherish these pictures for the rest of our lives and look back at this time with such fond memories. I can’t recommend her enough!
