INTRODUCTION

Hi! I’m Marissa, a photographer specializing in lifestyle, special events, and real weddings. I have a natural eye for capturing moments, people, places, and objects. My work has been featured in notable online and quality print publications including The Anti-Bride, Aisle + Vow, Once Wed, NUVO Magazine, Weddingbells Magazine, and more.

I’m currently based in Toronto, Canada. While I’m available locally, I’ve been honoured to travel for my clients. Having opportunities to visit artistic cities, visions, and design-focused spaces is key to my ever-evolving work.


COESSENTIAL WEDDINGS

(adj): inseparable in essences or being.

I currently lead the works of COESSENTIAL. When it comes to wedding photography, I am dedicated to capturing and composing timeless yet candid imagery with an art-oriented editorial approach and quality. My work is a balance of embracing a documentary approach but being editorial driven, giving the images a refined and elegant feel. I admire clean/ minimal compositions and light driven frames while capturing your grand and quiet moments and aim to evoke a sense of warmth. Overall, my wedding work aspires to feel luxurious yet intimate - perfect for couples who want their wedding imagery to be both magazine worthy yet personal.
