Light Rae was amazing! She was available last minute to do my daughter’s senior photos. She was incredibly flexible and professional. The photos turned out fantastic and made the whole experience wonderful.

Working with Marissa was refreshing because she actually listened. She didn't just take great photos—she made the shoot itself enjoyable. I walked in nervous (camera sessions aren't my thing), and within the first few minutes she had me laughing and relaxed. She nailed the vibe I wanted without overthinking it. Every choice felt intentional—the poses, the props, all of it. I ended up with photos I genuinely use and show people. That matters more than you'd think. Thank you Marissa!

Marissa was fantastic with us. We used her for our engagement photos and our wedding photos a week ago. I have only seen the sneak preview of our wedding photos and I know the rest of them will be as amazing as the ones we have previewed. Marissa is so fun and made us (non photo people) feel comfortable and interact with each other naturally. Her work product is absolutely beautiful; I have never had such awesome photos done before. We will most definitely be using her for any other photos we need as long as she agrees!

Details: Wedding • 50 - 99 guests • Outdoors • Digital or online download
