OUR LOS ANGELES COUPLES BOUDOIR EXPERIENCE IS….
The best date you’ll ever have
The way you reach for each other when you think no one is looking. Marisa will see it… and make it into art.
Most boudoir photographers have never worked with couples. Marisa has photographed over 150 weddings. Twenty years of watching how two people move around each other, how they touch without thinking, where the tension lives, where the tenderness hides.
Marisa knows how to work with men with a clever grace. Making them feel like they belong in front of a camera even when every instinct is telling them to run.
She knows how to read a room, shift the energy, and find the moment neither of you knew was coming. A unique gift that comes from just about everything that can happen on set. Nerves, laughter, tears, awkward silence, uncontrollable chemistry.
She has seen it all and knows exactly what to do with every version of it. Priceless wisdom that only comes with experience and deep attention.
“We came in nervous and frazzled.
We left feeling confident and connected.”
– Angela B.
Behind closed doors.
Every love story deserves a witness.
Your session is shaped by the way you actually are together. Playful. Tender. Raw. Romantic. All of the above. Whatever your dynamic, we build around it. You arrive at a private hillside sanctuary in Mount Washington, minutes from downtown Los Angeles, where the only thing that matters is the space between you. Complete privacy. Cinematic light. A team that knows how to disappear so the real moments can surface. My promise… Years from now you will still be talking about this day.
Couples Boudoir Gallery
“Marisa is simply amazing! I’ve shot with her twice now, the first time as a gift for my fiance and the second for a couples boudoir shoot. As my now-husband puts it, her eye for the female form is incredible, and quite possibly unparalleled. She will immediately put you at ease and make you feel beautiful. The finished product will be something you never even thought possible! Truly stunning photos! And on top of it all, she’s just a lovely human and a pleasure to be around. There is not even the slightest chance you’d regret shooting with her!”
– Jill
Questions Couples Ask
Will this be awkward for him?
Almost every partner walks in thinking so. Within twenty minutes he’s laughing, and by the end he’s asking when you can do it again. Marisa has spent twenty years photographing men who swore they hated cameras. She gives him something to do instead of something to pose, and the awkwardness has nowhere left to live.
What should we wear?
Start with what makes you feel like yourselves, then turn it up a notch. Lingerie, his favorite white button down, worn-in denim, a silk robe, a little bit of nothing. Bring more than you think you need and we’ll build your looks together on the day.
What if we’re nervous?
Good. Nerves mean it matters. Marisa has seen every version of them on set, the giggles, the tears, the awkward silence, and she knows exactly how to turn each one into chemistry.
How private is it?
Completely. Your session happens behind closed doors in a private hillside studio, with a small team that knows how to disappear. What happens here is yours.
Where is the studio?
In Mount Washington, a quiet hillside neighborhood minutes from downtown Los Angeles. You’ll receive the exact address when you book.
How do we get started?
It begins with a conversation. Reach out here and tell us a little about the two of you.
