Featured MDP weddings:
No posing. All candid. All you.
Mainly because - it's already awkward having a human follow you around to take photos. The last thing I would want is put you in some unnatural pose to commemorate your most precious memories. This is why I shoot with a candid mind. Instead of posing, I want to you to be as much as yourself as you possibly can.
My aim for each session is to make my couples feel as if we are three friends going on a really weird, but super comfortable date. Your wedding day is no different. Each and every emotion you feel (and dang you will feel them all) is what I capture. Because the best way to relive your memories is to flip through images of your natural laugh and go-to hug. It's always better to be you!
The candid style!
See the 2018 love stories
I take extreme care in making sure you enjoy your day! And that includes grandma, parents, to every member of your bridal party. Since my approach asks you to be yourself, I want to make sure you are as comfortable and free to enjoy each moment as possible.
With that said, I aim to be much more than your wedding photographer. I'll chat with everyone, find bandaids for blisters, grab you a drink from the bar, make sure you pee before you put on your dress, and even help you create a wedding timeline if need be! I got you, so all you have to do is enjoy your wedding day!
Why Choose Marissa?
At least one point in your day I will:
• Squeal suuuper loud
• jump up and down
• give you the biggest bear hug
• ask you to canoodle with your lover
If there is anything you take away from wedding planning, I hope it is this: The investments you choose to make into this incredible day are important. They set a foundation for the celebration of your love.
Even though your flowers will eventually dry, your cake will be placed in the freezer, and you'll even press your dress to put it away, the photographs keep your memories alive.
Being your photographer is a job I take very seriously. I want you to remember every emotion and feeling that came from your wedding day. In order to do so, it helps when my couples are as relaxed as possible. The best way to be yourself is for us to truly click!

"She kept me calm during some moments where I would have lost it. She was always there whenever we needed help (even if it wasn't her responsibility) and she is just a light. She exudes happiness which makes the day even better." - Leah & Patrick (2018)
"Marissa was not only our photographer but our sudo day-of-coordinator, bridesmaid director, stress reliever, and the most incredible photographer we could ever ask for" - Blair & AJ (2018)
"I do not like having pictures taken of me, but between Marissa's candid style and effortless ability to capture moments without us even noticing it was happening was really perfect. She is young and fun, but talented beyond her years. Her presence through the whole process was comforting and she provided the perfect balance of going with the flow and giving the right advice when we needed it. She captured every moment and detail that we'd want and more. We love how natural the photos are and that they portray the energy and love we felt surrounded by that day." - Emily & David (2018)
Reviews

"Marissa has the MOST wonderful, fun loving personality. She has such a way to make you feel like you are so important! She is professional, CREATIVE, and passionate.

Alll the deeets:
see below to learn more!
How long will it take to receive my images?
My aim is to get you THE finished online gallery for proofing at least a month to a month and a half after your wedding date. Please note: with my schedule pending the wedding season, this may take less time OR A TAD MORE TIME than anticipated!
Do you prefer to walk through the wedding venue?
YES YES YES. If we don't meet there to walk through together, I will walk through on my own. Even if it happens to be that week before your wedding. I like to take a look and see where may be the best spots for photos (and make sure I know how to get there).
How early do you book weddings?
I tend to booK about a year to a year in a half out. My schedule is first come first serve, meaning if you are the first to inquire and place a deposit, (and I feel we would work together), then you get first dibs! I open my packages on a season basis (Winter/Spring, Summer & Fall). Each is based upon the current wedding climate and the amount of inquiries I receive for a specific date.
Do you like to meet with us before booking?
Yes! Call me old fashion, but I like to see your love story in action. Wedding photographers will be by your side more than your mom on your wedding day. With that said, I need to make sure we click. Working together will be a full mixture of personalities and clear understanding. This includes a ton of communication and respect. Even though I would love to capture every single wedding that inquires, sometimes you may be a better fit for another photographer - and that is OKAY! If that is the case I will make sure to get you in contact with photographers who will capture your memories flawlessly.
Do you offer engagement sessions with your wedding packages?
Yes! They are included and/or discounted with each package offerED. I allow my couples to choose their location (so yes, it could even be in the comfort of your own home!). If you choose an outdoor location (which I typically recommend) I do ask that we find a day that works for either sunrise or sunset!
What if I don't need an engagement session?
I still ask that WE SCHEDULE ONE so I can capture you two, even if it is a quick mini-session! Working together with a camera in between us is a whole different story, and it helps YOU get used to my style of shooting.
Do you really not pose?
Haha I really don't pose! I'll make sure that if you are looking at me like a ball of nerves, I'll help you along. for the most part, I want you to be as much yourself as you possibly can!
What is the biggest difference between packages?
My wedding packages are based on hours. Over the years, I've noticed that many weddings have the capability to fit into an 8-hour package. Because of this, I offer 10, 8 and 6 hour packages for wedding dates. If you are eloping, having a more intimate celebration, or just desire those special family and bridal portraits: I also offer a 3-hour package to cover what is most important on your wedding day.
Do you bring
a second shooter?
My aim with all of my weddings is to bring a second pair of hands to help me with your ceremony and family portraits. With that said, the seconds I tend to bring have full-time jobs, families, and other photography businesses to run. I do not have a second shooter on staff at all times, making it difficult to say I guarantee it. The good news is that many photographers bring a second shooter to grab those candids while the main photog captures the staged portraits. With my style of shooting, it is capable for me to grab the entire day solo since I'm already grabbing the candids!
Can you cut the cost of your packages?
I understand how expensive a wedding can be - truly I do. Unfortunately though I do not offer discounts or cut package costs. Other than the cost of me to actually capture your day, each package includes costs to also not only run my business, but also make sure I am able to help you from the moment you inquire, to long after I send you the online gallery. I take great pride in making certain my couples are well-taken care of. Because of this head on over to my investment page and learn why wedding photography is one of the most important pieces of investments you'll make toward your love story.
Deposit? Remainder? Payment Plan?
I do require a non-refundable deposit plus the contract signed at least 6-months before your wedding day. Everything is digital and can be paid online through the proposal sent. Your date is not officially blocked off in my calendar until the deposit is paid though. The remaining fee is due Please note that if you need help with the payments, let me know and we can come up with a plan that works for you.
Do you offer wedding albums?
YES! This year I started to offer physical albums. Even though every package comes with a digital, online wedding gallery, I do offer actual books. These albums come in three different sizes and are all beautifully hand-crafted and stitched together with precision. The pages are lay-flat and matte, making each image pop with color and feel smooth at the touch.
Am I supposed to tip you?
Very weird question to answer myself, but I have answered this before. I am a service-based profession. With that said, if you enjoy my service and feel the desire to tip, I'm not gonna stop ya.
Am I supposed to feed you?
Yes. You should feed all your vendors if they work through your dinner. Many venues will require you to do this, and many contracts (including mine) have a clause that explain about food. Wedding days are just as long for you as it is for us (I'm including videographer, band, day of coordination, etc).
Is there a Contract we have to sign?
Yes, and I will go over it in person, or at least on the phone. It is digital and available to be signed online. It covers my butt and yours in case anything were to happen to the photos, or a cancellation of your day.

I would recommend Marissa any day to anyone! She has a way of making you feel comfortable and excited (even if you normally hate being in front of a camera). My husband & I were fortunate to schedule her for our engagement shoot and wedding day. She captured quality, candid moments that were true to us! And to top it off, her communication and turn-around time were very impressive! I cannot say enough about how happy we were with Marissa. She is professional, positive, and genuinely talented.

Marissa shot our engagement photos and our wedding and I seriously could not be happier with both sessions! She has a true eye for those special, candid moments and spectacular composition. Marissa makes you feel so comfortable, too. There's no stress, and most of the time you don't even know she's taking photos! Marissa also is great at communicating with you regarding any questions you might have or setting up her photography timeline, which was a big relief during the wedding planning process. She's punctual, professional and so sweet. I'm so happy that we chose Marissa Decker!

We love you so much for doing this with us! -- and for helping me create the surprise (and not laughing when I said we're taking photos at Kroger!). Neither of us wanted the norm, so we can't thank Marissa enough for giving us the most candid shots I've ever seen!

Marissa is an amazing photographer. Marissa makes you feel as though you have known her forever and that truly helps when you're taking photos! I'm certainly the most awkward person in front of a camera but Marissa makes it feel as though you're just hanging out and having a fun time! She is very communicative and on top of everything! You will not be disappointed with Marissa. Thanks Marissa!

Marissa has done multiple weddings I’ve been to and her pictures are always perfection. But perfection for that individual couple. She captures who they are. She is also able to quickly get a large group set up (like my giant, 70ish people, family) and get our picture done in a matter of two minutes... no easy task! If I could go back in time and get married again, I’d hire her for my wedding hands down!

2018 WEDDING
Marissa did an amazing job as photographer for our wedding in July 2018. Right from our first meeting with her, she was cheery, she was on the ball, and she was thinking one step ahead. And seriously, just meeting with her was a sure way to brighten our day.
Marissa travelled all the way to Columbus to take our engagement photos in the frigid January snow, gave plenty of encouragement, and captured some terrific pictures that now hang in our home.
Every step of the way, Marissa’s communication skills were great. She made us very comfortable; we knew our wedding photos were in good hands.
The day of the wedding, Marissa was phenomenal. It seemed like she was seven places at once. She knew the wedding day itinerary, got everybody organized, and she even helped the clueless newlywed couple figure out the best way to cut the cake! Marissa captured great family and wedding party photos in pre-planned group photos. However, even more impressively, she captured tremendous candid photos of fun moments throughout the wedding ceremony and reception. Marissa’s ability to seemingly be at every key part of the celebration helped her capture the essence of one of the best days of our lives.
Both for our engagement photos in the bristling January cold and for our wedding photos in the mid-July heat, Marissa was the friendliest, most energetic, most upbeat, and most skilled photographer we could possibly have hoped for. We loved having her as our photographer, and her work is top-notch. Thank you Marissa!

I cannot say enough good things about Marissa as a photographer and a person. She is professional and clear in her correspondence, but has a calming and personable presence which is essential to illicit the natural smiles and poses seen in her work. She is very flexible and offers suggestions, but always puts the couple's wishes first. Most importantly, she has an incredible talent to capture EVERY moment of the day in a way that makes you relive the emotions of the moment when you look at the photo, yet she is not ever the slightest bit obtrusive. What else could you want in a photographer? She is the very best out there.
Thank you, Marissa, from the bottom of my heart for so perfectly capturing our special day. Your photos will always remind us of some of our most joyful memories for the rest of our lives.

I wasn't worried one bit about how our pictures were going to turn out because I knew they would be gorgeous in the hands of Marissa. The little things she captures behind that camera are simply jaw-dropping. I now have the best day of our lives put into pictures to look at forever. Her communication throughout the planning period is wonderful and quick. She is personal and heart felt with how she responds because she truly cares so much about each and every couple/wedding she partakes in. I 100% recommend her photo services as I am 110% pleased with the outcome! I will definitely consider using her for other photography needs in the future. And on that note, another big thank you goes out to Marissa!"

Wow where do I even begin?! Marissa is an incredible photographer. She did a FANTASTIC job taking pictures for our wedding!! We loved ALL of them, and that is not an exaggeration! Her candid style was perfect for my husband's and my style and needs. So many times photographers will stop couples in the middle of their wedding to get "the perfect shot." This was not the case for Marissa at all, and we were so thankful!! She took pictures of us doing what we do, and how we do it! This is something that is truly unique to Marissa!! Her light and airy style is natural and not too edited, another thing we loved!!
Not only is she a wonderful photographer, but her personality behind and away from the camera just sealed the deal!! She is so caring, accommodating, relaxed, and the person to help us the day of the wedding, even for things outside of photography. We could not have asked for a better person to capture the best day of our lives. Thank you Marissa for letting us relive our wedding day each and every time we look at our photos. You are just spectacular!! xoxo

Marissa is without a doubt the most amazing, professional, considerate and thoughtful photographer we could have asked to be part of the start of our forever together.
First, our engagement session was easy and so fun! Her presence was calming, especially since we aren't used to being photographed everyday :) Honestly, the next day we received our proofs from the session and we were floored! They depicted us perfectly!
The day of the wedding was no different. We received so many compliments that Marissa blended into the wedding: no one "noticed" her taking pictures. Obviously Marissa is a beautiful, delightful person, but what a gift it is to capture candid moments going unnoticed rather than asking for posed portraits. We recommend Marissa without the slightest reservation. Her talents behind the lens and her magnificent personality make her the best photographer to be part of the most special day for two people: their wedding.
From the bottoms of our hearts, Danny and I are so grateful to have been able to have you as part of our wedding.

2015 Engagement
During the photo session, Marissa was helpful in every way she could be. If you're anything like me, when someone is taking photos of you, sometimes you can feel awkward or unsure of how you look, how you should stand etc. It became evident from the moment Marissa snapped the first shot that this woman knew exactly what she was doing and how to make us feel comfortable and relaxed.
As soon as we received the images, it reaffirmed that hiring her was the best decision and investment we could have ever made. To say that her photos were incredible would be an extreme understatement.
One of the best qualities about her style is that she captures moments. It's in those photos you can truly see just how talented she is. Holding hands walking down the beach, us laughing at each other, and of course her candids are outstanding as well.
Marissa is not only professional and knowledgeable, she is unbelievably talented in every sense of the word. I don't think there are enough words to describe how great of a photographer she really is. She exceeded our expectations in capturing every moment from start to finish."
