    An amazing photographer to work with!

    Marissa was so fun to shoot with! As a videographer the relationship between the photo team and the video is key to a smooth day, and Marissa made it a blast. Relaxed and confident and a great creative mind to bounce ideas back and forth. Her work speaks for it self but I just wanted to mention how great she was to work with.

    Excellent Photographer

    We’ve only gotten back our sneak peak, but those alone are amazing. Marissa did a great job at our wedding, along with her second photographer. She was kind and willing to take all the shots we wanted, and was also good at sneaking to take shots when we weren’t looking. We can’t wait to see the rest of the photos she took! My only feedback would be she could embrace bossing people around more, especially for weddings like ours with big unruly families and bridal parties who can’t keep their mouths shut. Thank you for your amazing work, Marissa!

    Beautiful Photos and Customer Service

    Marissa went above and beyond for us. She was quick to respond, professional, and kind, she has great timing for the perfect candid shots, which are my favorites! The best part, she had several sneak-peaks emailed to us that very night. That was the best surprise!

    Marissa is the best!

    We had Marissa do our engagement photos just recently and we're so excited to have her doing our wedding as well. She was so easy and fun to work with. She was super flexible and willing to work with our budget. Our photos turned out absolutely amazing and the shoot itself was a ton of fun.

    Marissa Casillas Photography's reply:

    Annette! I had such a fun time meeting you two and cannot wait for your wedding! Thank you for this lovely review! xx

    Look no further!

    Marissa is amazing. I found her page on Facebook and from there it was easy peasy. Do you need an artist that gets the vision? Look no further. She is so talented and kind, and has an amazing dedication to her craft. She was totally down to drive out in the sticks and stay with us in freezing weather to get our dream winter wedding pictures. Marissa also made the process incredibly smooth, and provided tons of helpful advice and things to consider that I hadn't even thought of! We got a 6 hour package on a great special, but to be quite honest I am surprised her normal prices are so affordable. That was a concern for me as we didn't have an endless budget, and I felt like a lot of photographers started at much higher prices. It is greatly appreciated and I think that she could even charge more for the fantastic service, and keen artistic eye. Marissa also offers some really cool printing services and products which we will be using. Whatever you need, Marissa has got your back. Book her time asap!! You won't be disapppointed!!

    A Covid Brides dream photographer

    In the middle of a pandemic, full of unknowns and cancellations and postponements, Marissa was one of the vendors we kept for our small ceremony. And I’m so so glad we did. She was so understanding, so flexible, and so so talented. She got our photos back so quickly and they are amazing.

    Amazing from day one.

    I can’t express enough how amazing Melissa is. She is friendly and both my husband and I instantly liked her. From the moment we met her we knew! I think we talked about it for an hour before we connected her and wanted to book her services. She kept in contact with us throughout the year as we had booked her well in advance. She was super flexible the day of because our wedding party’s timeline was off. She got us sneak peaks the next day and the full gallery a week later. Just incredible. Will be using her services again as soon as we are allowed for have larger gatherings.

    Worth every dollar!

    Marissa is super responsive, friendly and professional. She made us feel so comfortable and she guided us through everything. This was our second photo session ever and she was so helpful. From the minute we met her for our session, she was so friendly and made us feel very comfortable. We were visiting from California so she even gave some advice on local places to visit. It was truly a pleasure working with her.

    Amazing photographer!

    We hired marissa for our wedding in Hawaii! (She is based in oregon) it was a little unsettling trying to find a good photographer so far from home. From the moment she arrived in Hawaii everything went smooth, we met for dinner to talk about any specific shots we wanted and other details about our day. I was so worried about having a good photographer for my wedding and Marissa exceeded my expectations. She was there while I (bride) got ready and even helped me with my dress! She captured all the laughs and silly moments as well as the tears my husband and I shared. When I look at the photos she took it brings tears to my eyes which is exactly what I wanted in a photographer so I never forgot. She was easy going and easy to work with. We got a sneak peak 24 hours later and within 2 weeks we had ALL of our pictures back! I totally would recommend her again and again to anyone looking for a wedding photographer!

    Marissa Casillas Photography's reply:

    I am so so honored that you chose me to photograph your wedding over in Hawaii. I totally get how hard it is to be planning it all from another state, and I'm so grateful you took a chance on me! You two were so great to meet and I'm so happy I was able to give you those great memories to look back on for many more years to come.

    xx Marissa

    Our perfect fit!

    Marissa has been so easy to work with during this whole process. She just did our engagement photos and will be shooting our wedding in September. She suggested such a great spot for our shoot. We actually loved it so much that we are using it as our ceremony location! My fiance and I are definitely not used to being in front of the camera but Marissa made us feel comfortable and was good at directing different poses. We cant wait to have her there for our Special day.

    Updating now that the wedding is over! Marissa was truly the calm during the storm on our wedding day. She was a breath of fresh air and our photos came out better than I ever could have imagined! I can’t recommend her enough.

    Marissa Casillas Photography's reply:

    Thank you for such a lovely review Alex! It's so beautiful that you two ended up choosing your engagement session location for your wedding as well. I know how stressful wedding planning and the day of can get, especially when things aren't going as planned. You rocked it, though, and looked amazing through it all per usual. So glad you love your photos and happy I could be there for your special day.

    Invisible and so thorough!

    Marissa and her man are an amazing team! They were so wonderfully willing to work with us to make our wedding photos perfect. I honestly hardly remember even seeing them at the wedding, but they managed to get every important moment. I couldn't recommend them enough ♥️

    Marissa Casillas Photography's reply:

    You're so sweet Emily! We always try and capture those candid moments and keep it as stress free as possible -aka be flies on the wall so you can just enjoy your day! Glad you love the photos and so thrilled to have been there for it all!

    A phenomenal experience for a lovely outdoor wedding

    We were fortunate to have Marissa as our wedding photographer and are so happy with the phenomenal photos and service she provided! Marissa was professional and knowledgeable throughout the entire process and most importantly is just a down to earth awesome person. She worked with us to find the photo style we wanted and helped us find a package that was a good fit too. She really listened to what we wanted for our special day. We were not interested in photographs of the wedding party prepping for the occasion, a personal preference in my opinion. Marissa completely understood, while other photographers really tried to pushed us into those as part of a particular package etc. Additionally, she did an amazing job of working with everyone for the family photos even those with “big” personalities. Marissa took candid photos of our event with a great eye for fun and unique moments that we could look back on. We look forward to working with Marissa again in the future because she really is such a talented photographer and a joy to work with. If you are looking for an excellent photographer in the Portland area I cannot recommend her enough.

    Perfection

    Marissa was so lovely to work with. She listened to all of my needs and concerns. Her and her husband were able to capture all of the moments I wasn’t able to capture and even some that I missed. They were on time and very nice to work with. I’d definitely use them again.

    Marissa Casillas Photography's reply:

    You had such a beautiful wedding Jazma! It was so amazing to see you two so in love and surrounded by your friends and family. You all were so sweet and we loved seeing those killer dance moves from everyone out on the dance floor!

    Amiable and talented

    Marissa is the definition of a small business owner. She takes care of her customers in such an amiable way. And she captures life in motion. We are able to look back at our photographs of our families and feel like we just pressed pause on a special moment that will come to life once more. Thank you, Marissa!

    Marissa caught timeless photos for our wedding day!

    My wife and I communicated with Marissa once via zoom a few weeks before our wedding to discuss wedding day expectations, desired shots, schedule, etc. Marissa left a great impression on us, and her portfolio is beautiful. We decided on having getting ready, reception, and family portrait shots for our wedding. On our wedding day, Marissa was on time, professional, and a pleasure to work with. Our wedding photos returned stunning, and we were incredibly grateful to have had Marissa capture our special day. Our only piece of feedback was for the family portraits portion of our photos, which happened immediately after our ceremony. We wish Marissa had taken more initiative in setting up our family portraits. While we appreciate that Marissa wanted to ask and confirm who we wanted in our family portraits, it was difficult for us to immediately switch from the emotions of having our first kiss to photo planning mode, especially since we had discussed our expectations and plans a few weeks prior. Overall, we loved working with Marissa! Our photos were stunning, and we highly recommend her for an intimate-style wedding.

    Marissa Casillas Photography's reply:

    Thank you for the kind review Anthony! Your wedding was beautiful and intimate and it was so lovely getting to capture it all for you and Gaby. I apologize the family portraits time was not what you had hoped for. I saw we were running behind and left with only about 15min to get those portraits in as well as your own couples portraits before I had to depart so we did end up missing a lot of the pairings that we had discussed in the zoom and chats beforehand. I made the quick decision to forgo the list of pairings I had written down since the time wouldn't cover it all and left it to you two decide which photos you wanted covered, but I do see that that is overwhelming coming off the high of just getting married. I see now I should have brought up in our chats which photos were priority if we were to run late so nothing was left on you to decide in the heat of it all. I appreciate all your feedback and am so happy to hear you love all your photos. xx Marissa

    Breathtaking

    Marissa did an amazing job! Her relaxed, down-to-earth personality really helped calm me down throughout the hectic wedding chaos. She made posing for pictures feel natural and so much fun. She was very perceptive to my husband and I’s photographic taste and she came up with some really personalized, unique shots! I am beyond thrilled with the pictures - they are absolutely stunning. She perfectly captured all the intricate details and of our special day and we will treasure them forever!
