I met Laura + Chris (who were just friends at the time) when I first moved to Seattle. After a few short months of knowing them, our friends and I began suspecting something romantic was going on…we crossed our fingers….and we were right! These two finally head to the altar in one short week and I am beyond thrilled.

Congrats, Laura + Chris! I was honored to photograph your engagements but it means so much to me to be able to put my camera down next week and sit among friends as a guest! My super talented associate, Michele Equitz will be photographing their big day! 

I’m still just so happy + excited about the engagement of two of my favorite people!

Congratulations, Garry + Beth! 

a whisky wedding nightcap done right.

How cute are these two?

Megan + Jared’s downtown Seattle wedding was one for the books. All stationary and hand calligraphy (including their beautiful wedding invites) were designed by Megan (You can see her beautiful graphic design work at www.letterformcreative.com). They said “I do” in the heart of Pioneer Square - one of my favorite neighborhoods of Seattle and you could feel the downtown joy and energy throughout the day. It was such a joy to work with their amazing coordinator, Amy Tanton who made the day flow effortlessly! Congrats Megan + Jared!

Matt and Allie. These two know how to take care of people. As stunning as their wedding was, what I kept feeling all day was an overwhelming fulness of “love”. From their vows, to their dance moves, to the way they loved their guests with incredible food and wine, lawn games and a beautiful “thank you” toast….”selfless love” was continually felt in the air. These two are something special and I’m so honored to call them friends! One of my favorite perks of my job is having clients who quickly become lifelong friends. Congratulations, Matt + Allie! I’m so thankful for you!

Well, it’s been a little while since I’ve consistently blogged on my website so I’m really thrilled to finally share some new work with you! I hope you enjoy scrolling through and keep a look out for more goodies soon!  

Enjoy! m.

This wedding was one of those that tugs at your heart strings and leaves you a teary eyed mess. It was such a beautiful day….from the way Matti + Clint kept looking at each other, to the incredible florals and decor (thanks to the talented Kaleb Norman James Designs). 

Gosh, this wedding was a fun one. 

* special thanks to my bestie Alyssa Wilcox for second shooting and my amazing associate, Michele Equitz for assisting!

Marissa: We’ve known each other since preschool, have editing parties while watching Friends, drink whiskey on the rocks and second shoot for each other whenever possible.
