• A poem on fitness success: Drove to the gym yesterday. Got ten feet toward the door - couldn’t find my headphones. Proceeded to tear my car apart in the parking lot. No luck. Thought to myself: Can’t work out without them (because what if people try to talk to me, ya know?). Drove home. Don’t worry though, I did find my headphones and me and the weight room were best friends this morning. // #mdphotoweds #marissadeckerphotography

  • Reason number 372 why I enjoy working with kids: they look at all the rings you wear on your fingers, assume you are married that many times, and then tell you that is fine, but you’re still their Valentine. Cue my heart immediately bursting in my chest. Oh and one nugget lost his first tooth yesterday - soo I’m a ball of mush this weekend. Happy Saturday kids! // xo #mdphotoweds #marissadeckerphotography

  • There are soo many moments in life to celebrate love. And it doesn’t have to be marriage or a significant other type of love. Maybe today a little kid gave you a Valentine’s card. Or you had a flashback to when your mom put notes in your lunchbox. Hey, maybe it’s just that memory of how your sister helped shimmy your chest into your wedding dress? Either way, my point is that love is all around you. This holiday is for the young and the old. The single and the coupled. The ones with one friend and the ones with twelve. Bottom line: YOU ARE LOVED. YOU ARE LOVED. YOU ARE LOVED. // #mdphotoweds #marissadeckerphotography

  • We buried my grandfather 14 years ago around Valentine’s Day. It was a week I can still remember, down to the smell of the cemetery. I missed my 8th Grade party to go to the funeral, so my friends saved me bags of candy and made this huge sign that said “we love you” on it. The day went by slow and fast alll at the same time. I told myself I wouldn’t cry, but I did. I balled like crazy. When I watched my grandmother place her hand on the casket and say ‘Goodbye My Love’ for the last time, I broke inside. It’s funny though how a piece of my heart is and always will be his. He was the first man I trusted, first man that proved his love. The hands he used to pick me up or pretend to chop off my hair, were safe; they were strong. Nothing could hurt me in his arms. He was the male role model in my life that I hope every child gets to have. Even though my heart broke that day, it also grew. I remember my family sitting around the dining room table (where we did every single Sunday). We played Euchre and spent the evening remembering the moments and feeling every emotion. By the end of the night, we realized we always had each other. And guess what? That is worth more than any career, or this insta app. That’s pure magic. That’s family. That’s love. 021105. // #travelmariss

  • I loveee listening to the rain. There is such a beauty to how it effortlessly lands onto the ground or your car or a window. Ahhh 😍 So I’ll just be here, being super unproductive - doing nothing but reading and pretending I’m back in London. Nothing else for your 8am! Have a good Tuesday kids // #mdphotoweds #marissadeckerphotography

  • It’s either: “HEY GUYS! This reception is a BLAST!” orrrrr “Max, if you want to take a photo at least aim it at any of the 300 guests in this room.” Haha I’ll let you decide which is the truth. 😂🙈 // #marissadeckerphotography #mdphotoweds
