Love Notes

"We had Merrisa and Nick come with us to Lake Como, Italy for our vow renewal and I am SO happy we did! The photos are incredible and I’ve watched our sneak peek video approximately 1000 times. The photos and video just feel like us. Merrisa and Nick are not only super talented, but they’re awesome people and so fun to be around… and them knowing each other so we’ll (being married and all 😜) makes them the best team.. they literally read each other’s minds. Go hire them if you want to have a great time and get he best photos and video! Thanks again Merrisa and Nick. We will cherish these forever ❤️"

Sarah & Adam

A bride and groom share a romantic moment under a stone archway surrounded by lush greenery.

Love Notes

"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!"

Liang & Pat

A couple in wedding attire share an intimate moment by a rocky shoreline with white flowers and a serene lake backdrop.

Love Notes

"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!"

Chloe & James

A couple laughs together on a wooden bridge during autumn with golden foliage in the background.

Love Notes

"...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

A group poses together in a golden autumn field during sunset with warm fall colors in the background.

Love Notes

"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!!"

Love Notes

"Merissa was absolutely amazing for our maternity photoshoot! She made us feel incredibly comfortable from start to finish, and her positivity was contagious. The pictures turned out stunning—we're completely in love with them! Thank you, Merissa, for your talent and warmth. Can't wait for our newborn session with you!"

Moira & Greg

A couple shares a joyful moment together during their winter wedding celebration in a snowy outdoor setting.

Love Notes

"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

Love Notes

"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!"

Day Of Wedding FAQ

DO WE HAVE TO FEED YOU AT OUR WEDDING?

We do require a meal if you have us stick around to photograph your reception. Whether it's a meal provided by your caterer or an hour long break so we can get something to eat. I also strongly suggest that we are fed at the same time the bridal party is fed. I want to make sure I don't miss anything!

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A HIGHLIGHT AND FEATURE FILM?

A highlight film is a short film containing all the highlights of your wedding day edited to music/voice overs that is anywhere from 4-10 minutes long.

The feature film is your entire wedding day edited into a movie. It includes your entire ceremony and any speeches made at the reception. That can be anywhere from 35-65 minutes long.

WHEN SHOULD I BOOK OUR ENGAGEMENT SESSION?

Engagement sessions can be done any time before your wedding. Most do them within 1-2 months after getting engaged, or as soon as there's nicer weather. The latest I've done them are 6 months before.

We do only book engagement sessions M-F, usually during golden hour. Weekends are weddings and elopements!

WHAT Do I WEAR TO my SESSION?

Please do not match, ever! It's a thing of the past and a fad I just cannot get behind.

Neutral/Earthy warm tones are my favorite color to photograph. They're easy on the eye and work in every setting.

Think about the location. You don't want to show up in black tie attire at the beach. It works better in an urban setting.

HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR STYLE?

If I had to label our work, I'd label it as - Natural/Photojournalist. We have a strong use of color and contrast and 100% believe in capturing things as they unfold. With that being said, I have no issue taking control of the day and making sure things are running on time if needed. We're all about telling your story as it is and creating images that will make you feel all the feels.

DO YOU VISIT THE WEDDING VENUE/PHOTOSHOOT SIGHT BEFORE THE WEDDING/SESSION?

The best part about my job is photographing in places we have never photographed in before. If we're shooting a wedding or session nearby and have the time to visit, we will but it is not needed. I actually prefer to see the location the day off. Sparks some creative juices!
