About Timberline & Tide WEDDINGS
wedding photography & videography
Hi there, I'm Marissa Irene!
Tulum, Mexico
Asheville, NC
it's so nice to meet you!
I love what I do and I am obsessed with taking photos. With 8+ years under my belt and 50+ weddings, I have a streamlined, proven process to guarantee you receive stunning photos + films. I'm probably one of the most laid-back people you'll ever meet. My superpower is staying calm in stressful situations. So any anxieties that arrive on your wedding day... I GOT you. I live in my camper with my partner and four animals, traveling all around the PNW and Northern California. I thrift like it's my day job, and I am always down for a coffee run. Photography is truly my passion, and I am so grateful for every person I get to photograph.
I am an inclusive wedding & adventure elopement photographer + videographer

“Marissa is AMAZING!!! She shot our wedding about a week ago and we cannot put into words how much we loved having her there. She gave us a sneak peak within a couple of days and her pictures are AMAZING, to say the least! She made the day so much fun and easy for us and really we cannot explain how great she is. HIGHLY recommend for any of your photography needs. WE ABSOLUTELY LOVE MARISSA!”

Marissa makes her photography sessions seem like you are simply hanging out with a friend. She provides you with comfort, direction, and confidence to look your best for whatever occasion you are celebrating. Her kindness makes you want to take photos with your loved one (coming from someone who is often shy in front of a lens). We will always book Marissa for future occasions. She is an Asheville gem.”
