Hi, THERE!


I'm Marissa, your new buddy behind the lens at Forbis Fotography.



I believe that your love story deserves to be told, that you should feel free to be YOURSELF on your wedding day. I make it my personal mission to give you the space to commit moments of your day to memory, LAUGH  with one another, and truly enjoy saying "I do" to your favorite person.


Capturing love stories is my FAVORITE thing, and I don't take my role in documenting your special day lightly. BUT, I don't take myself too seriously, and I hope you don't either! If you're up for some fun on the day you promise forever, I think we'll make a great team.

01.

Your love is safe with me

Everyone's love deserves to be celebrated, and I would love to be the one to document you saying yes to your forever person. As long as you are head over heels, hopelessly in love with each other, I'm all in on this thing, too!


No matter your race, nationality, gender, sexuality, etc., you're safe here with me.


As long as you're nice.

Ya gotta be nice.

02.

I Care DEeply about Your Experience

You get to live this day ONCE, and I want to make sure that every part of it is memorable, enjoyable, and 100% YOU.


Your day will be documented thoroughly, with care and compassion. I will ALWAYS strive to ensure that you are given the space to be relaxed, in the moment, and feel free to interact with one another in the ways that you typically do.

03.

I'm Awkward, too!

Look, I have this talk with every couple that gets in front of my lens - you do NOT have to worry about being "awkward". Some things may feel a little unnatural with personal paparazzi, but that does NOT mean that you're being judged in any way by me.


Also...I'm awkward, too! That's just who I am as a person, so I will NEVER judge you for any awkward moments of your own.

Ryan Forbis

Husband Extraordinaire

My other half and favorite adventure buddy! Ryan always brings light-hearted fun (and a fair assortment of inappropriate jokes) to elopement days he is a part of. We've been together for 12 years, so it's safe to say that we make a pretty good team!

Stephanie Fenzl

Certified Hype-Woman

The lovely lady behind Jackalope Mountain Photography, owner of some of my favorite tattoos ever, and a fellow conservationist (that's how we met!). If Stephanie is along for the ride, you can rest assured that your adventure is in great hands!

Ashley York

The Gen Z Hire

Ah, yes. The little sis. She is my certified new phrase translator, way cooler and significantly less socially awkward than I am, and knows all the things about pop culture that my hermit self is unaware of. Truly a needed part of this posse.
