MARS TAKES PHOTOS

Marci Nelson | Photographer

I specialize in 35mm and medium format film photography, but I also offer digital photography and am typically shooting both on a wedding day. My inspiration comes from organic moments, perfectly imperfect details, finding beauty in simplicity, and natural, modern and creative environments. I find that I thrive most when I get to work with couples who are so involved in the moment, they don’t care much about a wrinkle in their dress or a misplaced hair.

With a keen eye for color and detail, I like to think of my style as documentary with a bit of a flare. I love incorporating an editorial sensibility with a photojournalistic approach. When working with me, my couples feel comfort in knowing they have the space to be themselves, and to fully immerse themselves in the experience of their wedding day. In the end, my goal is to create a series of images that encapsulates the true story of your wedding day, in a way that feels timeless, beautiful and sincere.

    Marci was a delight to work with. I really appreciated her attention to detail and all of the pre-planning she did and the time she took to get to know us and what we were hoping to get out of using her services. She was super kind, wry thoughtful, and attended to our every need. We absolutely loved our photos and the way everything came together. She captured so many beautiful moments of our family.

  • Thank you so much!

    We loved our photos from the elopement, and we are sure we’ll love the rest of the wedding photos when they come back. Thank you for everything. You had such a calming presence, and your work is exquisite! I’d recommend Marci to anyone looking for documentary style photography of their wedding day.

    Once we got Marci on board, I felt immediately at ease about the wedding. I knew that, no matter what happened, no matter what details about the day wouldn't go perfectly, we would have great photos and the end of it all. She offered so much of herself before the actual date to check in with us and make sure we could talk about anything we wanted on the day. I love how everything she does feels intimate, natural, and captures the 2 people just as they are. I highly recommend booking Mars Takes Photos for your special day.
