INTRODUCTION
COESSENTIAL is led by Marissa Joan Ho, a lifestyle and wedding photographer specializing in real weddings, special events, and milestones. COESSENTIAL’s style can be described as artful, candid, and timeless. Our work is a balance of embracing a documentary approach but being editorial driven, giving the images a refined and elegant feel. We admire clean/ minimal compositions and light driven frames while capturing your grand and quiet moments and aim to evoke a sense of warmth. Overall, our work aspires to feel luxurious yet intimate - perfect for couples/ hosts/ and families who want their imagery to be both magazine worthy yet personal.
Marissa’s work has been featured in notable online and quality print publications including The Anti-Bride, Aisle + Vow, NUVO Magazine, Toronto Life, The WED, Weddingbells Magazine, and more.
COESSENTIAL is currently based in Toronto, Canada. While we are available locally, we have been honoured to travel for our clients. Whether you are local or internationally based, all inquiries are welcomed. Having opportunities to new cities, design-focused spaces, and venues is key to our ever-evolving work.
