Ciccarelli Photography - Seattle, Washington

We can’t recommend Marissa and Erik enough! We first met them in 2015 when they did our engagement photos. I still remember how comfortable and special they made us feel during the session, and our photos were amazing!

As our wedding was out-of-state, we have been anxiously awaiting the next opportunity to work with them. Fast forward nine years to the birth of our daughter, and we had the same amazing experience in our newborn session. Marissa again made us feel so special and comfortable; we felt like we were catching up with an old friend. Her passion for what she does shines through every interaction, and she captured our pure joy in stunning photos we will treasure forever!

We look forward to more family sessions in the years to come!

This public review is long overdue for Marissa & Erik, from Ciccarelli Photography. We've been raving about our experience and the quality of their photos from our wedding day in early September. From the informational call (before they were hired), I knew Marissa & Erik would be our photographers for our wedding. Marissa was prompt to respond and took the time to get to know both myself and my now husband. Her enthusiasm was contagious and even got me excited for my own wedding day! From all of my other searching, no one else compared.
The engagement session was key! Both me and my husband do not like getting our pictures taken, but Marissa made us feel so comfortable and we actually had a great time during our photo shoot. Not only did we leave feeling better about taking photos together, but we were certain we made the right choice!
Fast-forward to the wedding, Marissa and Erik seamlessly blended into the day capturing all of the moments, big and small. They were right on time on delivering the photos, and they came out better than we could have imagined. They are stunning and we will cherish them for the rest of our lives!
Highly recommend Marissa & Erik for any photography opportunities. They are true professionals that produce high-quality photographs and are just all-around fun!

Marissa photographed our wedding at The Edgewater Hotel and we couldn't be more pleased with our experience. Her calm and easygoing manner put everyone at ease so that we felt and looked relaxed for our photos. Marissa's efficiency and flexibility ensured that we got all of the family photos that we wanted without any extra stress or delay. She was timely and clear with communication from the first point of contact through the entire wedding day. We have just seen our sneak peak of pictures but are very happy with them so far, as we expected to be!

We are so incredibly thrilled with the beautiful engagement photos Marissa captured for us. She provided excellent recommendations leading up to our photos, and on the day-of, she was so encouraging and positive and made the whole experience so fun for my fiancé and I! To top it all off, the photos we received were stunning - she really captured the day perfectly. I cannot recommend Marissa enough to anyone in the Seattle area looking for beautiful photos to capture their special moments. Thank you!

Marissa did an amazing job with our wedding photos! I looked into many Seattle area photographers when choosing and first and foremost the examples of her photos are beautiful, but not only that she was the most reasonably priced for what we wanted (about 40 min of couple pics and then 20 min of family pics, prior to the wedding). Many other photographers charged a lot extra for including additional people so it was great to be able to do some group photos as well within our budget.

We just got the pictures back and they’re beautiful! Prior to getting our pictures taken by Marissa we had maybe one picture of us where we both look relatively normal and smiling in the three years we’ve been together, but every single one of the ones Marissa took looks great! I am somewhat awkward at getting my picture taken but she was great at giving tips and helping direct us to poses to get natural looking and great photos. And, when the time came to get the family pics she did a great job at directing everyone efficiently and somehow miraculously got a picture of all of us (18 total people) looking at the camera simultaneously (there are 5 children under the age of 5 so that makes it even more surprising).

All in all she did a fantastic job and we couldn’t be happier with our pictures. I would highly recommend Marissa to anyone looking for a photographer.

Marissa is so lovely!! After contacting her very close to our due date about newborn photos, she promptly replied with multiple date options and was very flexible since we obviously didn’t know when baby would arrive. In person, she was wonderful, genuine and so kind! She provided awesome guidance during our photo shoot to get the best lighting and positions. Our photos turned out BEAUTIFUL and we have received sooo many compliments!! I already referred her to two close friends who are pregnant ? we highly recommend Ciccarelli photography! We are so happy we found Marissa and will definitely be using her for all of our future family photos! Thank you, Marissa!

Marissa took our family photos this year and they were incredible! She was so patient with our 2 year old and 4 month old and did a great job capturing their attention. We are so grateful to have the amazing photos to capture this time in our lives.

Marissa was fantastic! We had two great photo shoots: a maternity and a newborn shoot. She was very thoughtful and was able to capture moments with our son that we will treasure for years. She’s as a great artistic eye for framing shots. Thanks for a great experience and for a prompt turnaround to share the photos with us. We’re looking forward to working with her again to capture more family moments in the years to come.
