Kids Portrait- Photographed by Marisu


Little Lyza is growing like a weed. She loves to be photographed which makes my job easier, and it’s just so much fun to be involved on this level with a family. It’s why I love what I do. I can’t wait until she can say my name.... -Marisu

Melinda and Todd's Wedding - Photographed by Marisu























Melinda and Todd got married in Athens and I had so much fun with their whole family. The women in the family are all gorgeous, and the dad is so genteel. I don’t think I’ve had so many laughs during a reception in a long time. It was easy to get great shots because the bridal party and the guests were true performers and really enjoyed themselves right up to the end. Melinda, nice hat! -Marisu

Band Photo Session- Photographed by Marisu


The husband, who is related to a family that I’ve been photographing for years, is going overseas this fall to play in a steel band. How cool is that? They will represent the states and rock the house with their beautiful instruments. They were so much fun to have at the studio. And it was great to listen to them play the drums while I was shooting...added benefit. -Marisu

Tracy Jeffries


Tracy Jefferies, a great woman and fabulously talented painter, has her art hanging in the dining room at Ashford Manor. When I look at her work, it always puts me in the best mood. So rich, beautifully blended colors...if you are a collector of art, her pieces are definitely ones you would want to consider. I’ve always been told to buy art because you love it, not because it will gain value. Well, Tracy’s paintings are winners in both camps. -Marisu

Ashford Manor Open House

Ashford Manor hosted a lovely affair for wedding vendors to meet and great with potential brides. It was such a beautiful day and a nice opportunity to spend some time talking with fellow wedding professionals as well. The High Balls provided the music which entertained us throughout the afternoon. What a great place to get married…especially when the day is as beautiful as it was that day. Dreamy....

Stephanie and Brad's Puerto Rico Wedding- Photographed by Marisu



















































































Did I mention going to Puerto Rico to shoot a wedding? Well, did I also mention that Johnny Depp was there filming 'Rum Diary'? Yeah, I'm not going to kiss and tell, but we were within 100 feet of him the day of the wedding....
They were a stunning couple, fabulous event design courtesy of Neil (neilleeson.com) that turned the stylish Spanish hotel into an over the top vivid tropical fantasy - dancing, and i mean dancing!....until 1 A.M with DJ Geo (geoxie.com) from the Big Apple rockin' the house (tourists thought it was a new nightclub and tried to get in)...so much fun. Learned a bit about Puerto Rico's history and alot about their frozen coconut mojitos...but that's another story............ -Marisu

Becca and Ben's Wedding - Photographed by Marisu















The universe conspired for this couple and brought the most amazing day right in the middle of snow storms and rain. Becca and Ben expressed a very quiet, powerful connection together. Nice to see and be around. And the speeches at the rehearsal dinner were hysterical...fun family. Thanks for including me in the festivities. -Marisu
