Marissa is a photo-angel-on-earth. I searched high and low for a photographer for our destination wedding in Colorado Springs and when I found her I instantly fell in love with her personality and style. She was so flexible about literally everything from start to finish, and her vibe was so relaxing and fun. You literally can't go wrong with this girl -one extremely happy bride.
Light Rae Exposures's reply
I am so glad we found each other in the world of searching for your perfect photographer for your destination wedding. Everything about your wedding day was seamless and so much fun & your wedding gallery memories reflect it all! Thank you for having me along for the ride and finding your diamond in the rough!

FAQs

  • What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

To book the date the contract needs to be signed and a retainer sent over to hold the date. I will walk you through every step of the process leading up to the date and afterwards.

    15 years of photography and editing software 20 years of modeling 12 years of combined customer service, booking and management experience
