Marissa Joy Photography

style is gorgeous - you can see it in all of her work. I was able to relax and really embrace the moments during our portraits, which I always have a hard time doing. I would work with Marissa again and again. I cannot recommend her enough.

ome absolutely amazing images of my entire family - including our young kids. We hired Marissa to take family portraits and her vibe was great, getting everyone to loosen up and be truly happy during the process. She never missed a special moment. As a photographer myself, I'm often hypercritical of other photographers - from their gear, to their composition, to their attitudes, and beyond. Marissa brings the right equipment and a great demeanor, and frames shots incredibly well - a true professional. It was money well spent to hire Marissa and I would do so again for any important event.

ng everyone in their best light. Our package featured posed and candid photos that portrayed our family’s personality with the beautiful backdrop of the Santa Monica Mountains in Southern California. An added bonus to this experience was Marissa’s quick turnaround time in getting the photos back for family holiday cards. This was a positive experience with a priceless outcome—even the teenagers have agreed we should do this again next year. Thank you Marissa Daly!

beyond the best we could could find. We were looking for two main qualities in a photographer. First, her work had to be amazing. Second, she had to be someone we would want to spend the majority of our wedding day with as you see your photographer a lot! On the first note, we were blown away by Marissa's work. She is a true artist. She has such an amazing ability to capture a moment...even the ones you do not know are occurring. She has an eye that cannot be taught and the end results are just beautiful. During our interviewing, we found that photographers are either great at "moments" but their formal shots weren't anything special or the opposite. With Marissa, she is truly wonderful at both. In addition to her work, she is truly a joy to be around. I wish we lived closer so I could force her to be friends with us :). She made me feel so calm and taken care of on my wedding day. She made our families feel comfortable, scoped all the sites in advance and just made the process seamless. Even when our guests picked her up on the dance floor, she just went with it. She was so fun to have at our reception. We just received our photos and they are amazing. I can't believe what a great job she did. Do not even question hiring her! I will be hiring Marissa for lots of family photos in the future. Her work is just magic!
