Documentary-Inspired Wedding Photography


Capturing heirloom moments


I am passionate about capturing the magic of small, intimate weddings and elopements across the Edmonton area and Alberta's breathtaking landscapes. My mission is to create a calm and comfortable atmosphere, allowing you to immerse yourself in every moment of your special day.


MY APPROACH


I know that planning a wedding can often feel overwhelming, which is why I’m dedicated to making this journey as enjoyable and effortless as possible for you. I offer support from day one all the way through to your next big milestone. You get more than just a photographer... I am quick to help with vendor referrals, timeline support, location scouting, and so much more. On the big day, I do everything I can to make sure you can relax and genuinely be yourselves in front of the camera, enjoying beautiful moments that soon become memories. Let me help you focus on what truly matters—your love and celebration.

Testimonials

Delaney + David

"Marissa was the first vendor we booked when we got engaged, and we jumped at the opportunity to have her capture our wedding day. We fell in love with her "story telling" style of photography and was so happy that she stuck with us through planning a wedding during a pandemic. Aside from her amazing photography skills, she is just such a lovely person who we plan on supporting for years to come. We would recommend Marissa in a second, she truly is the best!"

Nostalgic,

Sentimental,

Authentic.

FAQ

How do we book you for our date?

First thing to do is contact me via my contact form to check if your date is available. Once you do that, we chat over the phone to discuss your day and the length of coverage you would like. I then send you a contract and invoice to review. Once I receive the signed contract and a 25% non-refundable retainer, your wedding date is officially booked! Flexible payment plans are available, but final payment is due two weeks before your wedding day.

How many images do we receive?

The number of images you receive depends on a variety of factors: how many hours you have in your package, the type of wedding you are having, how your day unfolds! You can expect a well-rounded gallery with approximately 50 images per hour.

Do you need a shot list?

Nope, but I will ask you a set of questions that will help me capture the images that you want. Such as special people in your life in attendance, significant items such as heirloom jewelry, etc. If you have any specific shots, please do let me know. But I am happy to take the reigns so you can focus on each other!

Do you shoot larger weddings?

I take a select few large weddings per year. Large weddings are where I started, and I still love them! Custom quotes are available for larger weddings requiring full day coverage. Please inquire about your date to get started!

Why are engagement sessions included?

Engagement sessions are included in all my packages because I think it is an important step in making sure you are comfortable in front of the camera! It is a great time for us to get to know each other and it puts you at ease on your wedding day.

Do you travel?

Yes, I do! Travel fees apply when locations are more than 150 km from my home (in Devon, Alberta). Depending on the location, other fees such as hotel pay apply as well.

Capturing couples in love has always been such an honour to me - your day is more than just another wedding on my list. I take a small number of intimate weddings each year, to give the best possible experience I can to each couple. I care deeply about creating images that tell your story, capture the moments you didn't get to see, and keep your day alive for years to come. I can't wait to get to know you.
