Reviews of Marissa Naylor Photography (Event Planner)

Miss Vivian Grace

Marissa is wonderful! She has an amazing way to make you feel so comfortable in front of the camera. Our sessions were filled with non-stop laughter and fun. She is super professional and provides you everything you need. I am excited to work with her again in the future!

Riley Douma

Marissa was absolutely wonderful to work with! My husband and I had never had professional photos taken of us, and we didn't know what to expect. We were blown away by not only the amazing photos but also with how comfortable and special Marissa made us feel throughout the whole process. The photos were more beautiful than I could have imagined and we had so much fun with her, I will forever be recommending Marissa to anyone looking for a photographer!

I have often hired Marissa as a photographer but also watched her work as I do behind the scenes work as a makeup artist. You can truly tell she loves her job. She has an amazing way of making everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. Her personality and laughter is infectious and no matter how busy she is very prompt replying to texts, providing previews and delivering photos.

Marissa is a crazy talented photographer! My boyfriend and I got a chance to do a photoshoot with her last spring and I was thrilled with the amount of amazing photos I got back. Marissa really takes you out of your comfort zone and tries to get you to act silly, which results in some unique and beautiful photos. After only spending time with her for 30 minutes, I felt like I had known her for years! I would highly recommend Marissa for all your photographer needs.

Marissa Naylor photography is amazing. I highly recommend her. She makes the session so comfortable and fun. Both my fiance and I were nervous going in, as we are not used to having our photo taken, but Marissa made the entire experience so relaxing and fun for us. The photos she took really captured our genuine, fun loving relationship and she guided us through the entire process. She was very open to photo ideas and locations and very easy-going when we had to change our original wedding date. Marissa is very easy to communicate with and adaptable to different circumstances. She is a professional, caring photographer who I would highly recommend.

Marissa has done an amazing job with all of our photos, we have gone to her 3 times already for photos and we have yet to be disappointed! She makes you feel as if you have known each other for years, which makes taking photos SO much less awkward!! Not to mention her editing skills are beyond amazing, and you get your photos back SO fast!!! I would definitely recommend going to Marissa for any photographer needs you might have ❤️❤️

Marissa was fun and easy to work with. We did a branding + product shoot for my small business and I just LOVE all of my photos from her!

We hired Marissa as our wedding photographer and forever grateful that we got her to capture our special day. One of the main part of a wedding is your photographer cause they capture the moments, the laughter, the tears and the love. You want to go back and look at those photos when you celebrated your 1st wedding anniversary or your 10th anniversary, or just go back and look at those photos when you got into an argument with your spouse and remember the day and the promises you made to each other. Marissa’s work tells a story and having a great professional photographer is a bonus. Marissa is the type of person you can laugh with the whole day, right away she got very comfortable with the other wedding vendors and they felt the same way which is very important you have to consider. You can find a lot of photographers out there but you need to find someone like her where you and your partner can be comfortable with. Forever thankful to Marissa for our beautiful photos. ❤️

Emily Raine

10/10 would recommend! Photos turned out amazing all thanks to Marissa and her goofy and inviting personality! Prices are super reasonable and she is so good with communicating quickly!

Shayna Wall

Marissa did our engagement pictures on the coldest day of the winter and was laughing and smiling the WHOLE TIME! Although we all couldn't feel our feet she made the experience so fun and SO worth the numb toes. My fiancé and I have never had a professional photographer for just the two of us so we were pretty nervous and awkward prior, but it literally just felt like we were hanging out with a friend! I cannot express how excited I am that we hired Marissa to capture our big day later on this year, I'm so glad she will be spending the day with us. 10/10 would recommend if you like to have some fun and like to spend time with people who radiate happiness.

Leah Rodgers

Marissa is an amazing photographer. She is not only super talented in her photography but she’s such an amazing person to be around. She always makes sure you comfortable and having fun while taking photos, makes you feel good and important and always has a smile on her face. If your looking for an amazing, talented, fun person to photograph you, Marissa is your girl!!

Laura Sytnyk

I'll start by first saying I am certainly no model. But that doesn't matter in the eyes and the lens of Marissa. First she makes you feel like you are meeting up with an old friend that you've known your entire life. She will put you at complete ease and make you laugh. Did I mention she will make you laugh??? You will be in hysterics the whole time and in the end you will be left with absolutely beautiful photos. I've loved both my sessions with Marissa so far and look forward to the next time.

Wil

I love Marissa! She’s sweet and very professional. She did our engagement and wedding photos and they are amazing! She also made us comfortable in front of the camera, hence the no awkward shots. And because we had our wedding during this pandemic I couldn’t thank her enough for being flexible and considerate and for granting all of our requests.

Michelle Tremblay

We loved Marissa! She is so kind, and makes you feel comfortable, even if you’re not used to being in front of a camera. It also helped that the photos she took for our engagement session were beautiful. Excited to see how amazing our wedding photos will turn out ???? 100% recommend

Nicole Waschuk

I loved working with Marissa and will for sure be hiring her in the future! She did BEAUTIFUL wedding photos for us and I could not have been happier with them! We got married in the midst of the pandemic and due to restrictions of people couldn't have an actual photographer at the wedding so we hired Marissa to take some photos after and she was incredible! We felt totally comfortable with her (and my husband is a huge introvert so this is impressive), we had so much fun, and the entire experience was fantatsic! I would highly recommend her to anyone!

breanna vince

Marissa is amazing at what she does. She makes you feel so comfortable during your shoot and the pictures always turn out INCREDIBLE! Not only is she great at photography but is also such a kind and fun person. I highly recommend her you will not be dissapointed !!!

Alisha Suderman

We really enjoyed our couples shoot with Marissa! She made us feel super comfortable in front of the camera and our pictures turned out amazing! Her prices are very reasonable and we got our photos back very quickly! We will treasure these photos for years to come!!

Jeremy Hildebrand

We had such an amazing experience working with Marissa. She is easy going and super funny, we couldn't stop laughing. We have never had professional photos taken and didn't know what to expect, but it was way easier than we expected. We felt completely comfortable in our "poses" and didn't feel awkward at all. Marissa made it feel as if we had known her for a long time. We feel cared for as she continually reaches out to us, especially amidst all the restriction changes. Our engagement photos turned out amazing and we can't wait to work with her again and see what the wedding photos look like!!

Rachel Nagtegaal

Marissa is great! She's very talented and makes everything feel comfortable and fun!!

Megan Lussier

I had the pleasure of working with Marissa for a portrait shoot and it was absolutely amazing! She’s so outgoing, genuine and fabulous at what she does. It was never awkward, we talked the whole time and she knew what she was doing. Her work is great, my pictures turned out fantastic; I loved every single one of them. I highly recommend working with her if you ever want pictures done!

Mags Bujalski

I had such a great time doing a content session with Marissa for my social media! She is very easy going and make you feel very comfortable in front of the camera!

Janelle Heier

Marissa was wonderful to work with! She made us look like models even when we didn't necessarily know how to be in front of the camera. Her 'poses' made us look natural. She was wonderful to work with pre-wedding and post-wedding, her communication was wonderful. I loved how she was able to sit down with me and help me nail down a schedule for the day. She gave us BEAUTIFUL photos and we couldn't be more happy!

Breanna Robert

I had such an amazing photo shoot with Marissa. Marissa reached out to me to work together and I couldn’t of asked for a better experience. She made me feel super comfortable and helped me with poses. We had lots of laughs together too. I felt totally comfortable with her the moment we said hello. She captured exactly what I wanted, to feel beautiful!! If you get the chance to have her as a photographer, I highly highly recommend! She also got the pictures to me within 2 weeks of the shoot which was amazing. I’m used to waiting 3-4 weeks for the final photos. I cannot wait to shoot with her again! ????????

Judianne Dhabba

I worked with Marissa for some solo portraits. As a content creator, it’s key for me to have professional images, and Marissa delivered above and beyond! She is thoughtful in the planning leading up to the shoot and provides a guide of things to consider. She is so friendly and encouraging, and this makes for a really relaxed shooting day. Marissa also delivers such a quick turnaround of the final edits and at such an amazing value! She was even flexible in adjusting the package to what made sense for what I needed. I highly recommend Marissa for any of your shooting needs, whether it be solo, family, couple, etc. Definitely will shoot with her again!

Sharae Trudeau

Our photos were beautiful, we had a ton of fun, and she made two awkward people feel comfortable. Everything you need in a great photographer!

Jessica M

Working with Marissa throughout our engagement and our wedding this summer was such a dream! We have already recommended Marissa to all of our friends, family, and anyone looking for a photographer. Marissa has mastered the art of displaying her skill and professionalism while making you feel as if you've known her for years. Not only do you get amazing photos and super fun shooting experience, but you also gain a friendship when working with her! We have been told by EVERYONE we show our wedding photos to that Marissa made it look like an absolute fairytale. Do yourself a favour and book Marissa for any of your photo needs, you won't regret it ????

Savana Unrau

Marissa is simply delightful to work with. Her positivity and optimism truly shines in the work that she does making it easy to pose naturally. Her presence is so delightful in fact that my face hurt from smiling so much during our shoot. Doing business with her was easy, not complicated and her website is very accessible. 10/10 would recommend!!!

Breanne Lachance

We are so happy we chose to work with Marisa for our engagement and wedding photos. She is so kind hearted, takes a genuine interest her clients and did a fantastic job making us feel comfortable. So many of our wedding guests assumed we knew her personally as she truly wants to make a connection with her clients and cares so deeply about each of them. We received our photos back in such a timely manner (received a sneak peek of our wedding photos the night of) and we couldn’t be happier with the results. The photos are incredibly good quality and her photography style was exactly what we were looking for. Not only is she a good photographer but she is an amazing human, we would recommend her 1000 times over.

Laur

Marissa is friendly and professional and will make you super comfortable during your shoot! Working with her felt like working with an old friend. It was a very enjoyable experience!

Cass Waytt

We LOVE Marissa! She did such a great job capturing us and making us feel comfortable - and she was a trooper in the -30 snowstorm! She knew exactly what to say, and was very very good at giving direction. I would 100% recommend Marissa for any type of shoot - I love that we had pictures taken for no reason at all! I am beyond impressed by her natural photography skills, as well as being a full time student and Bison athlete!

Joanne Comia

We highly recommend Marissa Naylor as a photographer! We hired Marissa Naylor to do our engagement and wedding photos. We loved working with her and she does amazing work! She is truly passionate about her photography and is really dedicated. Marissa is undeniably professional, patient, and kind. Her communication is great! She answered all my questions during the difficult time of COVID wedding planning and it felt like I was communicating with someone I knew for a long time. She made us so comfortable during the photoshoots and our pictures turned out so beautiful! She truly captured the essence of us as a couple and our vision for each photoshoot. We are so happy that we chose her to capture these special moments in our lives. We will treasure our photos forever and absolutely want to work with her in the future! - Joanne & Gil

Chantel Dandeneau

Marissa was super easy to work with and gave us beautiful photos! They turned out better than I could have imagined and her price was very reasonable. She went above and beyond to make us happy with our session and made out elopement perfect! Would absolutely recommend!

Moriah Coble

Marissa and her work is absolutely amazing! She completely blew us away with the photos from our engagement session and our wedding! She immediately became a friend and part of the family which made us relax and enjoy every single moment! She’s so much more than just an incredible photographer she helps create and capture life long lasting memories. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for the absolute best photographer around! ????

Jessica

Marissa is simply the best. There is no other way to put it. My boyfriend and I had a couples shoot done with Marissa, (which was our first ever photo session together) and we were nervous and didn't know what to expect at first. But Marissa made us so comfortable and at ease, our faces were hurting when we left because Marissa had us laughing the entire time. Not only were the photos absolutely AMAZING but the experience of shooting with Marissa was so much fun. Marissa cares so much about her clients and takes the time to learn about them and get to know them before and during the photo shoot which makes the experience even more special. In 24 hours Marissa already had sent us a folder with several previews which got us even more excited for the final product which was also quickly sent our way not long after. Marissa also provides her clients with a TON of photos after the session, (this is something that not every photographer does, some only provide 15-20 images!!) but we were so surprised to see that she took so many different amazing images within a 60 minute session, it was awesome! The photos Marissa took of my boyfriend and I are ones that we will treasure forever. We cannot thank Marissa enough for her amazing work. Don't ever hesitate to book your next couples session, family session or wedding with Marissa, we cannot wait to work with her again!

She made my wife and i feel so comfortable and she is very organized. We cant wait to work with her again in the future. I highly suggest marissa for any of your photography needs. Telsa and Mike Peters

Alannah Lischynski

My boyfriend and I did a Photoshoot with Marissa in the fall and loved absolutely every minute of it and how all our pictures turned out! It was our first Photoshoot and Marissa made us feel very comfortable throughout the shoot. She was very friendly, professional and responsive before and after the shoot. We also go our sneak peak photos very quickly after and we fell in love with every picture taken! Would highly recommend Marissa for any type of event if you are in need of a photographer, she is great at what she does !

Dana Mandryk

Marissa has done two sessions for my boyfriend and I, and they were both amazing!! She is so talented and makes the session so fun. Nothing is awkward when Marissa is around! She is all around the best photographer I have had for a couple session and she also captures the most beautiful moments! We had a blast both times and will continue to be going to Marissa for our future pictures! I will continue to recommend Marissa to anyone and everyone who wants beautiful pictures and funny moments to remember forever!!

Madison Schaus

Marissa is the most outgoing and bubbly person you will meet. She is quick to become more than just a photographer; she takes time to get to know you before your session and takes genuine interest in what your hopes and dreams are for your pictures. My first experience (and definitely not my last) with Marissa was for engagement pictures and let me tell you she blew it out of the park. She made us both feel so comfortable in front of the camera. She captures amazing candids and memories. The thing I love most about her pictures are they look natural, they are not over posed and they are edited to perfection. She is so quick and efficient with getting pictures back in a timely manner. I honestly can not say enough good things about her. You will not regret your decision for choosing Marissa for any of your photo needs!

Sarah Hill

Not only did Marissa capture stunning photos from our lifestyle shoot; she created an environment that made me feel greatly comfortable and positive. Marissa went beyond a simple photo shoot to incorporate genuine laughter and emotion. She was able to bring my real self out and embrace my inner confidence. I am so pleased with the final photos and even more pleased to have met such an empowering, smart and talented woman! Would absolutely recommend.

Chelsea Burns

My fiancé and I used Marissa Naylor Photography for our engagement session, and it was absolutely amazing! Both my fiancé and I are pretty shy and both feel like we aren’t very photogenic. She made us feel so comfortable and we just felt like the photo session just went very smoothly because of her, and the photos turned out better than we could have ever hoped! If you are looking for a photographer I would highly suggest Marissa ❤️

Kathlene Shingoose

Marissa is so lovely to work with! She made it so easy to feel comfortable around and is extremely professional. Her quality of work is amazing and are great memories to have! I can't wait to have another fun photo session with her!

samantha demchuk

Marissa was AMAZING. I originally booked her for an anniversary shoot and my boyfriend (now fiancé) contacted her to turn it into a surprise proposal! They pulled off it off SO WELL! I couldn't be happier with how the photos turned out. I've recommended her to so many of my friends and family. I'd always work with her as she makes you so comfortable and feel beautiful. Highly recommend!!

Charlene Matias

Marissa is beyond words amazing. She genuinely cares about the people that she meets and has the greatest gift for capturing the essence of people in her photography. We scheduled our wedding back in 2019, prepandemic and she has been so flexible and communicative. We are very grateful for her. Her photos of us are so amazing and breathtaking, that they bring a tear to my eye. A whole bunch of people have already asked questions about her, so if you are reading this and wondering if she is good, book now or you'll miss out. She made two people who hate taking photos (we have like half an album over 14 years together) and made us look amazing! Thank you Marissa for everything that you do. Can't wait to work with you again.

Sydney Pilek

We hired Marissa to be our wedding photographer and she was absolutely amazing to work with. Neither myself nor my husband had ever done a professional photo shoot, and during our engagement session Marissa made it so easy and comfortable. Marissa really takes the time to get to know her couples and build a relationship with them, so by the time our wedding came around it was like having a good friend at the wedding, which made the experience that much better. We are beyond happy with the photos and will definitely be using Marissa in the future.

Melanie Basenius

Working with Marissa is such a pleasant and fun experience! Her easygoing personality puts even the most shy person right at ease, so that you leave feeling like you've made a new friend. :) Her work is never seizes to impress, and I always get compliments on how natural and genuine the pictures we get back from her look! Our engagement pictures were a massive hit, and I cant wait to have Marissa capture our wedding day. :) A truly beautiful soul, and talented photographer all in one ❤

Courtney Masson

Had an engagement session after finding Marissa on IG. She was so awesome and made us comfortable with being in front of the camera. Had great natural posing prompts and we had TONS of fun. Photos are gorgeous and you get so much for your money. She does her best to fit you in to her busy schedule (we had to do retakes as it started raining in our session and she accommodated well). Thanks so much Marissa!!

Kat Friesen

I’ve worked with Marissa on multiple shoots, ranging from website content and yoga to creatives. We have braved the elements for the perfect shot (so worth it). We laugh together and have the best time. She is also the greatest cheerleader a girl could ask for. My shoots with Marissa have become a part of my self care because I always feel so amazing after working with her. Her bubbly, goofy and down to earth energy create such a safe bubble for all the creativity and fun to happen and she manages to capture your best self every time. Highly recommend Marissa as a photographer and person to everyone.

Paige Chadsey

I can't say enough good things about Marissa! She makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera, she is fun, outgoing & her quality of work is top notch! Marissa was so accommodating as we had to postpone our wedding many times and was always willing to adapt with our plans. Would definitely recommend Marissa to all my friends who are getting married in the future.

Céleste Hébert

Marissa is a wonderful photographer, I highly recommend her! She is so easy going and is great for guiding you through poses. I felt self conscious about having professional pictures taken but that anxiety vanished as soon as I met Marissa! Our engagement photos turned out to be better than I could of ever imagined!
