Year 2 with this sweet girl and her loving parents was amazing! She literally never stopped smiling and wanted to just play and have fun. It was a pure hour of toddlerhood with tickling games, tosses, running and lots of love.
Thanks so much Bokshi Family! Your joy and love of each other shined (and so glad it was warmer than our last session together 😉 ~Marissa

We’re always honored to capture brand new life, especially when we’ve known the family almost for forever! Marissa grew up knowing this kind, loving family. Seeing a new member come into the world and be a happy lightness this year for them is such a blessing.
Congratulations Katie & Joby & the whole family! We’re simply over the moon happy for you all. ~Marissa & Erik
The day was full of love. As wedding planners they knew to plan for everything and had backups in mind as soon as the pandemic hit. Using their gorgeous downtown apartment for the ceremony location ended up being the perfect intimate spot as the rain pattered outside and close family gathered.
Tears brimmed over during their personal vows as each woman professed their love and promised their world. Galavanting around Pioneer Square and Pike Place Market with umbrellas and specialty made leather jackets made for some pretty special memories.
Arial & Taylor we are so happy for you two! This was an incredible day, meticulously planned, with all the right parts emphasized – your love. Congratulations! ~Marissa & Erik
This year we met at the beach and it was everything we’d hoped for! The kids played, everyone was happy to be near the water, we all got a little dirty, and it was a super fun, candid-filled session.
The Brownings are such a special family, starting with us 5 years ago with an engagement session. We consider them one of our forever families! Their children are just like them, sweet and loving, which means this family is a joy to be around.
Thanks so much Julie & Matt! It warmed my heart seeing your faces and those sweet kiddos of yours. ~Marissa
These two have a love as strong as the best of them. Together for almost a decade, they’ve known each other already through thick and thin. On this day we celebrated their love and a union that everyone knew would happen eventually, even way back when they first met sophomore year of high school.
The day was a bit hazy (smoky skies on the water made for a surreal moment of peace and quiet), which gave us some incredibly cool lighting, plus Anna & Kieran had the waterfront at Port Ludlow Resort to themselves as they shared tearful personal vows during their first look. Afterwards we zipped over to the quaint little church in Port Gamble that made it official.
The intimacy of their day continued while they cut their cake and toasted with their nearest and dearest. Through all the changes and challenges of this year Anna and Kieran showed that their love was strengthened and deeper than ever.
Congratulations you two! What a beautifully full day of happy memories. ~Erik & Marissa
This traditional Norwegian cake is pulled from the top by the couple to see how many kids they’ll have. Anna’s face is just priceless!
