From our first conversation over email, Marisa was the sweetest person to work with. She is genuine and has a heart of gold. When we spoke over the phone to have our initial meeting we were greeted with a light-hearted, charismatic, kind personality. She helped us feel at ease at our engagement shoot, capturing natural poses, and she picked the best locations!
Behind the scenes, Marisa worked with us and our videographer to come up with a timeline that best fit our day. She gave suggestions that resulted in our wedding day to go as planned and stress-free. On our wedding day Marisa came fully prepared, keeping our vision her top priority. She was flexible and diffused a few stressful situations we had.
Marisa’s passion for photography is clearly shown through her light and airy images. Her experience was comforting in knowing that we could rely on her to capture all of our special moments.
Not only was Marisa experienced and professional but so was her 2nd photographer, Katie, that helped to capture all the details of wedding.
If you are looking for the kindest, most easy going, professional photographer, look no further!

Andrew and I couldn't have asked for a better person to capture our wedding day! Marisa captured every moment, big and small even better than I ever could have imagined. Not only did our photos come out incredibly we came out with a new friend! Having her alongside us for the day was an absolute joy. She was such a fun and positive energy and truly made the day even more magical. Thanks to her we have memories to last a lifetime! Cannot wait for her to take so many more of our milestone photos!

Marisa is one of the sweetest, most patient & kind hearted human beings I’ve ever met. She went through every detail with us, answered any of our questions, listened to what we wanted, and overall just made everything so easy going and fun. She has the best personality and is so good at what she does. Our photos came out absolutely stunning and perfect, I would recommend her to anyone for any big event! This girl knows what she’s doing and I am so glad we chose her to be a part of our special day!

Marisa is one of the kind hearted people you will ever meet. From the first phone call I had with her, I knew she was the perfect photographer for our special day. Marisa is easy to work with, quick to get back to a text or an email and truly makes taking pictures a breeze. She took our engagement photos and our wedding photos and we plan on using her again as we grow our family. Our wedding day was a 100° day in June and looking at all of our pictures, you couldn’t tell that we were sweating like crazy!! Marisa never complained about the heat either, she sweat right along with us! Her editing skills are amazing. Her photos are natural looking and very “clean” which is what I loved the most about her! Use her! She’s the best!!

When my fiancé and I started planning our wedding last summer, one of the very first things we did was reach out to Marisa to see if she was available on our date. We have had so many friends recommend her over the years, so we knew she was the first vendor we needed to lock down!
Marisa is professional, flexible, and most importantly, easy to work with! She was willing to meet in person for coffee so that we could get to know each other and plan ahead of time for all of the “what-ifs” that inevitably happen on your big day. Marisa didn’t just take our picture - she made us laugh and truly have fun during our time together. Our friends and family have told us that the moments Marisa captured for us are a genuine reflection of who we are and our wedding day!
The wedding package we purchased was reasonably priced, and it included an engagement photo shoot. Marisa also provided a significant discount for paying in full. Marisa’s editing style and the quality of her work are different from so many photoshoots we have seen flood our social media feeds over the years, and she was quick to deliver a sneak peak to us within 24 hours of our wedding. We feel so lucky to have Marisa in our lives and can’t recommend her enough!

Marissa was amazing to work with! She was extremely kind and thoughtful during our time together, always placing our needs at the forefront throughout the planning process and especially on our wedding day. Our wedding pictures are absolutely stunning and Marissa truly captured the love and magic we felt on the biggest day of our lives. She created an environment that allowed us to be our true creative selves. We had so much fun capturing the day together! We are so grateful to have crossed paths with Marissa and would highly recommend her services to anyone. We can’t thank Marissa enough for being such a huge part of the best day of our lives and for making the experience nothing short of incredible for us.

Marisa is simply the best. My family and friends are still talking about our wedding pictures and the emotion she captured during our reception and ceremony. They're some of the best photos we've ever had captured of family members! The experience of working with her is also something my husband and I will never forget. She makes you feel like you've been friends for forever and so comfortable! We're immensely grateful that we booked her!!!

We could not be more pleased and in love with our wedding photo's. Marisa is truly talented and provided us with pictures that we will cherish forever. Marisa was beyond easy to work with throughout the entire process. From engagement pictures to the wedding day, there was constant communication and updates. She couldn't have made our big day any easier for us!

Marisa found a way to capture every moment both physically and emotionally. You can feel the love and laughter from our day when you look at our gallery and we couldn’t have asked for anything more! She is a delight to have in your special moments and she fits into the day like an old friend. On our sunny 80+ degree day she kept the mood light, the portraits quick(while still capturing literally EVERYTHING) and her editing combined with it all… it’s just a dream. She was in constant communication and was incredibly helpful when putting together the timeline of our day to make sure we had time to capture everything we wanted. We wouldn’t recommend anyone else for your wedding! *it isn't allowing me to upload pictures but her Instagram is always up to date and has great shots featured*

Marisa was so incredibly wonderful to work with both on our wedding day and the days leading up to it! She is professional, efficient and makes the whole wedding photo process effortless and fun. She is always responsive and works so hard to get edited pictures out in a timely manner. We have continued to use Marisa for all our professional photo needs and highly recommend her!

We unexpectedly had to find a new photographer a month before our wedding and luckily we found Marisa. She immediately replied when I reached out and set up a call for later that evening to discuss our options and how we could move forward with booking her in such a short timeframe. Even though we didn’t get to meet Marisa in person until our wedding day, she immediately felt like a close friend. Her bubbly and warm personality made us feel at ease and comfortable in front of the camera. We’d recommend her to anyone and look forward to working with her again in the future!

There will never be enough stars for all that Marisa deserves. She is without a doubt the most talented photographer with the best professional touch, all wrapped up in a natural humble persona. We loved her light and natural style that brought out the best in me and my husband, as camera shy as we are on our wedding day and for our engagement photos. Thank you Marisa for capturing the best day ever and providing us reminders for forever!

If I could give more than 5 stars for this review, I would! We hired Marisa Kinney for our 10/29/22 wedding and I cannot say enough good things about her. It was truly the best experience and it was so effortless and fun to work with her. Admittedly as the bride and groom who had never had professional photos done before, we were both a little nervous, but Marisa made it so easy for us every step of the way. Her second shooter, Brielle, was also fantastic to work with. They really were like our own personal hype squad and it made us feel so comfortable and really enjoy the experience. Outside of just her skills as a photographer, Marisa is genuinely one of the kindest human beings ever and we feel so fortunate that we were able to snag her as our wedding photographer! Cannot recommend Marisa Kinney Photography enough!!!

Marisa was an absolute dream photographer. From our first email encounter and engagement photo sessions all the way to wedding day she made everything so special. My husband isnt a huge fan of organized photos but was laughing and *jumping* in photos for Marisa. She was communicative, helpful, soooo kind, the most fun and we are so glad we used her for our wedding day. We know we found a photographer for life in her!

When I look at our wedding pictures, I see the real us, just more magical. Marisa will make you feel at ease, beautiful (or handsome!) and like you're just having fun taking photos with a good friend. It's almost impossible to pick our favorites from all the photos. From the first coffee date with Marisa to the post-wedding delivery, she was kind, supportive, and so excited for us. You will not go wrong with her by your side for your big day!

I cannot recommend Marisa enough. From the start she was incredibly friendly and helpful. My husband and I had a meet and greet with her a few months before our wedding at our venue. I thought this would just be a quick check-in, but we ended up chatting for over 1.5 hours! She is very easy to get along with and is a ray of sunshine. On our wedding day Marisa and her second photographer Holly were patient, up-beat, and helpful. They provided poses for my husband and I (who honestly are awkward in front of a camera) and helped direct family and friends for photos. It is too soon after the wedding to have our full gallery, but just from the sneak peek shots that Marisa has sent, I can tell that the gallery will be gorgeous and perfect. She captured all of the moments we wanted, from big to small and her eye for lighting and color is unmatched. We had a wonderful experience with Marisa and I would think any couple would be missing out if they don't book her for their wedding.

Hire Marisa! We searched far and wide for a photographer who would capture the shots that we wanted while also being a person that we connected with, all at the right price. Well, the second I got off the phone with Marisa for the first time, I knew she was the right fit. Oh boy, did she deliver! I have been a part of many weddings, and I've never worked with a photographer who has a better grasp on people management and professionalism. Marisa knew how to lead our families, wedding party, etc. with clear direction while making the process enjoyable for everybody. Countless people came up to me and remarked on how wonderful she was. This is not to mention the HUGE number of beautiful photos we received after our wedding. She captured every single moment and truly embodied our vision and the joy of our day. Several friends/bridesmaids who are getting married in the near future have said they would go out of their way to hire Marisa, after working with her and seeing her work. I could go on and on, but nobody wants to read a full essay. You need to hire Marisa! She's the best!

My husband and I loved working with her for our engagement session and our wedding! She made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and we LOVE how the pictures turned out! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer!

Marisa is not only an amazing photographer but also an amazing person too! She has made this process so easy for us and everyone constantly comments about how great she is at our wedding. As someone who is very camera shy, she has made it so easy and relaxed for us!!! It felt like it was a friend following us and hyping us up all day! She was so flexible with our first wedding being canceled to Rescheduling. I haven’t received my photos just yet (just had the wedding) from the wedding, however from all of the other photo sessions with Marisa, I know they will be nothing but amazing 💕💕 Don’t hesitate to book with her!!!

Marisa was an absolute dream to work with. She is so sweet frequently checking in before the wedding to make sure we had everything we needed from her. On the day of the wedding she captured everything perfectly, she made everyone feel amazing and comfortable. There is no awkward guessing how to pose she placed everyone perfectly and even hyped us up the whole time. She didn’t bat an eye at our large bridal party and even larger family photos, she made sure we got photos with every person and combination on our list and did it efficiently so our families could enjoy cocktail hour. We are absolutely thrilled by the quality of the photos we received and our families cannot stop raving about them. Our only problem is that we can’t narrow down our favorites for an album (a pretty good problem to have). My husband and I loved working with Marisa and would recommend her in a heartbeat!

From the minute we had our first zoom call last year to “meet” I knew Marisa was absolutely the photographer for us! I remember just saying “okay where do we sign??” Because I knew there was no need to look any further. We instantly felt a connection and I was captivated by her energy and spirit. I knew I wanted her to be a huge part of our wedding day (as well as become best friends)! Haha she made every detail of the planning so easy for me/us and I can’t thank her enough! Our engagement session further supported the realization that things were going to be perfect and we were in the best possible hands with her. I am beyond grateful for the attention to detail…she helped me with my timeline/day-of planning because I was clueless and even met me for dinner to discuss things to take away the stress!! Then the big day came and I knew no matter what, she would bring your calm, positive spirit with her and all would be good. Everyone could feel it and for my bridemaids (most of whom already loved her from their own maternity shoots) couldn’t speak highly enough of her either. Marisa captured everything I could have thought of and more and listened to every ask/request I had that day. Her work is incredible and Marisa, as a person, is equally as incredible! I have/will continue to recommend her to anyone I know because gaining a friend out of a photographer is just as amazing as her work!

Marisa and her team made the process so easy and comfortable, we cannot elaborate on this enough! Marisa's energy and passion for what she does is like no other, and she goes to every length to make sure she captures the best moments of your special day. She was very responsive and reached out about details and gave ideas, when needed. We cannot recommend her enough for all of your photography needs!

Amidst all the craziness of planning a wedding during a pandemic, Marisa was a god send! We could not have asked for a better photographer for our special day. She was so organized and made the day go so smoothly. She even took us out for drinks before the big day to meet beforehand! And in addition, her photos are absolutely stunning.

Words cannot describe how amazing Marisa is at what she does. Marisa was our wedding photographer on the most popular wedding date of the year, 10/10/2020. I knew from the moment I met her over coffee that she was the PERFECT person to capture our big day. Not only is her work flawless, but her personality is what sold us on making her our photographer. She was fun, energetic, and kept our wedding party of 18 engaged the entire time! (Which is not an easy task!) Not to mention the days leading up to our wedding she was SO helpful and thoughtful with our timeline AND treated me to dinner, which made the planning period that much more fun and less stressful! Not only did I score the BEST photographer, but I gained an amazing friend out of the deal. I would recommend Marisa 1000x if I could! Best wedding investment that we made!

She made pictures fun and relaxing and took the stress out of it all! She was incredibly professional, and we couldn't have asked for a better photographer to capture our day! Highly recommend!

I don't know where to begin to explain how truly amazing Marisa, is not only as a photographer but also as a person and a small business owner. She conducted herself professionally from the second I first contacted her and couldn't have been more delightful and personable to work with. Even if you aren't photogenic (as my husband and I were not), she will direct you through every single pose and will make you feel amazing about yourselves. Marisa photographed our engagement and wedding photos and they were absolutely breathtaking! I couldn’t have asked for a better person to capture the most amazing day of our lives. I went into the process simply looking for a photographer and I came out with not only the most beautiful pictures I could have ever asked for, but I also gained a new best friend. Marisa is truly a beautiful person inside and out and I cannot suggest her enough. Now we are just waiting for the future to have her capture our pregnancy and newborn photos!

I could honestly go on and on about how great Marisa is! We booked her about 14 months before our wedding and had her take our engagement photos. She made my husband and I feel so comfortable and confident the entire time! Our photos came out amazing. She just shot our wedding a few days ago, but our experience was just as amazing! Marisa is so kind, fun and energetic; she truly is a pleasure to work with. We are so excited to see how our wedding photos turn out, but we already know they will be phenomenal! Booking Marisa was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! We can't wait to use her again!

Marisa is awesome! She did our engagement session and our wedding and she made it so incredibly easy! We even had a few “sneak peak” pictures the next day and they were breathtaking. Marisa has a true gift for photography and makes it so much fun. Anyone would be crazy not to choose her for their event! Will absolutely go to her for any photo sessions for the future.
