AlL You NEed To Know
Who knew there would be so much to booking the right photographer and videographer?! We just want to make sure that we're giving you the best experience ever, so we've listed out the steps to our process from the beginning to the end and we answered some questions that have been frequently asked.
We hope that after reading through this page you've gained an idea on how Nick and I work as a business. We really care about the experience you're getting. It's called "investment" because it is. Photos are a look into the past and are meant to be taken. Meant to be seen. We hope that when you decide to fill out the inquiry form you know everything you need to know. We hope that knowing everything you need to know will help make your decision to booking us a little easier.
First
ESTABLISHING A RELATIONSHIP
We love to get to know our clients and become friends during this process and it's all for good reasons. First being, who doesn't love new friends?! Second, think about it. We're going to be spending anywhere between 6-10 hours with you on your wedding day. Sometimes more! Kind of a big deal and we feel that with friendships come trust and with trust comes a peace of mind.
Second
BOOKING
Next is the booking process! After you've read through everything on this page and all your questions have been answered via the FAQ section and investment page, you can start the process of submitting an inquiry! An inquiry is a place where Nick and I can learn what you're looking for and your expectations are as well as information about you! Like we said above we want to get to know you!
Third
ENGAGEMENT SESSION
So this doesn't apply to those who are here for family or portrait sessions but those who are here for weddings. We talk about how it's crucial that we have a connection with each other. Engagement sessions are a great way to meet each other for the first time and establish that connection. It's also a good time to feel out how we go about photographing you. The different words we might say and the different scenarios we'll put you in. Not to mention engagement sessions make for a great date night and are awesome to use for your save the dates!
Fourth
PLANNING
After you book your wedding, and we've done your engagement photos, it's time to buckle down and plan! About a month before your wedding date I will draft up a photo/video timeline to ensure we a don't miss out on all the opportunity to document something special! We've been to around 250 weddings and have lists of vendors should you still need one, and wisdom if you need help trying to put something into place.
If you're here for a family session or a portrait session it's still important to plan! Where do you want to do it, what do you want to wear?
Fifth
IT'S WEDDING DAY!
We're there to help make sure your wedding day goes smoothly. We're there to lend a helping hand when needed and to photograph every moment of the day. We're there to explore new places with you and your family and help guide you to getting the most natural of photos. We've planned, we've prepped. Today's the day!

"Merrisa is the BEST!! From our first meeting, I knew I wanted to hire Merrisa. She is so down to earth and easy going. We hired her for our engagement shoot and wedding and added videography from her husband Nick. Over the 2 years of planning, Merrisa was extremely prompt and responsive to my texts and emails. I always felt like she was invested in our wedding and wanted us to have the most perfect day. She effortlessly poses you with her prompts that made us look so naturally in love and continuously hypes you up behind the camera. On our wedding day, she was so calm and seamlessly adjusted to the problems that popped up throughout the day. After our engagement shoot and wedding we received sneak peeks in a couple days - and by sneak peek I mean 400 pictures from our wedding and a trailer video! All of the photos were STUNNING! She captured every emotion of the day in such perfect detail. Our family and friends are in awe of her work. I cannot thank Merrisa enough and I can’t wait to hire her in the future for all of our lifetime milestones!"

Testimonials
"I cannot recommend Merrisa enough! She is an amazing photographer and all-around wonderful person. My wedding was hit by a once-in-a-lifetime hurricane and had to be pushed up one day, and Merrisa sprung into action to find us a replacement photographer (one of her associates-Hannah, who was also amazing), while she was on vacation no less. She did everything in her power to ensure we had an amazing day no matter what the weather threw at us, and our photos are beyond gorgeous. We are eternally grateful to Merrisa and her team!"

Testimonials
"...My (now) fiancé and I were visiting the Cape for the first time for our anniversary and I was searching for a photographer to capture our surprise engagement… when I stumbled on Merrisa, I KNEW I had to book her from reading her reviews AND seeing her gorgeous photography.
Merrisa went above and beyond with assisting me: she sent me several locations where I could pop the question that were all local to where we were staying, she asked for details about our love story and stayed in touch before the proposal happened AND after!
Turn around time for our photos was extremely quick especially with our sneak peak the same day. Merrisa truly captured our love story and I couldn’t be more grateful to her. Don’t hesitate… book Merrisa now!!! You won’t regret it!"
Shannon & Karissa
Testimonials
"We absolutely LOVE working with Merrisa!! We have had the privilege to be behind her lens on a few occasions and there is a reason we keep coming back. Merrisa is a professional. Every step from booking to gallery delivery is seamless. She prepares her clients with helpful tools (color palettes, clothing tips, etc.), her colors and aesthetic are natural and authentic, she knows the Cape and picks out the best locations, and overall she is an amazing person to be around (we all feel comfortable and at ease when she is capturing our photos). The photos Merrisa has taken of our family are some of my all time favorites. Invest in your family photos with Merrisa, you will be happy you did!!"

Testimonials
"Merrisa is phenomenal. My husband and I are not comfortable in front of the camera but Merrisa makes you so at ease and also blends into the background and snipes the most amazing candids. We were most nervous about wedding photos more than anything and it is easily the best part. We’ll be using them for all future sessions!!"
Alex & Justin
Testimonials
"We absolutely LOVED working with Merrisa and Nick. They captured our engagement session in Cape Cod and we booked them again as soon as we finalized our wedding plans on the Cape as well. Merrisa and Nick are so friendly, professional, fun, and talented. They were on time (early, even), captured every little detail, and delivered such beautiful work. We are so grateful that we could work with them on our wedding day and genuinely enjoyed having them at our wedding — they are a blast!"
