Chicago Wedding Photographer

Honest, heartfelt photography that feels like home.


With over 100 weddings and 500+ sessions behind the lens, I’ve learned that the most meaningful images aren’t the perfectly posed ones — they’re the moments that unfold naturally.

My love for photography began in my grandparents’ home, flipping through stacks of worn photo albums filled with candids — the quiet glances, the laughter, the way life really looked. That kind of storytelling stuck with me. And now, that’s the lens I bring to every wedding and session: documentary-style, emotionally grounded, and full of care.

Whether we’re celebrating your wedding day or simply capturing your everyday, my approach stays the same — create a calm, connected space so you can just be yourself.

With this new found love for the romance of slow living, living sustainably and shopping small Marisa began to help other small businesses with sustainable marketing and managing their businesses in a way that supports their lifestyle, not the other way around and founded Msav Creative Co with her husband in 2021.  They began marketing for other small businesses in the industry and dove head first into the world of sustainable small business marketing.  

Rooted in Story. Inspired by Sustainability


After photographing hundreds of weddings and documenting so many more stories, Marisa not only fell in love with her clients but also the world of small businesses she became a part of.  With a passion in connecting with others she found the same romance she saw in documenting families in how small businesses connect with their followings and wanted to be a part of that too.  

While building Msav Creative Co and continuing to document weddings, Marisa began creating sustainability to help others find the route of slow living she fell in love with.  With themes of farmers markets, gardening and supporting your local small businesses Marisa grew a following on Tiktok and has decided to begin to merge all three brands she created into a more streamlined singular entity which is what you're seeing here.  

Whether you’re building a business, documenting your beautiful life, or looking to slow down in a noisy world — I hope you feel at home here.
