Marisa and Dylan were absolutely wonderful to work with! They made the entire process very smooth and were flexible when needed. The photos turned out absolutely beautiful and we were amazed to see all of the detail that they captured. They were very easy to work with and we got many compliments about them from our guests as well. I could not imagine having someone else capture all the special moments from our day. We are forever thankful to you both! // Kayla, Houghton, MI // September 2020

I wish I could give Marisa and Dylan 100 stars. They were hands down the best photographers we have ever worked with. From their great communication before our wedding, to their flexibility when the weather turned foul, these two were on top of their game! Their attention to detail is unmatched. They captured our wedding day in a way that I have never seen. Stunning photos of our families, the ceremony and our location. But the real kicker was our couples shoot after the wedding — their cues and captures were right on point and made it easy for us to have fun and be natural. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! // Meag, Grand Marais, MI // August 2020

Marisa and Dylan did an amazing job capturing our backyard wedding! They were professional and very easy to work with, and the number of photos we have and love are incredible! Thank you!! // Anna, Escanaba, MI // July 2020

There are not words to describe how wonderful Marisa and Dylan are. Not only are they cool and awesome people but they’re incredibly talented and creative photographers! From our engagement session to our wedding, we were constantly impressed with them. I couldn’t imagine having anybody else photograph our wedding, they are the best!! The entire experience of working with them was so easy, I cannot recommend them enough! // Nicole, Green Bay, WI // August 2019

Marisa & Dylan not only exceeded our photography expectations with a huge gallery of beautiful moments from the day, but they also helped make our wedding day stress-free and exciting by being easy-going & professional. From our first conversations, to the final delivery of photos, the experience working with Boy Girl Beauty World was seamless! I can’t recommend them highly enough! // Erika, Iron River, MI // June 2019

Happy crying forever!! Dylan and Marisa are the dream team! They’re constantly thinking way ahead of you and for you. They capture ALL of the things – the unposed and raw candid moments you can’t recreate, as well as the timeless portraits of the people who mean the most to you. As a photographer of 10 years myself, we were very particular about who we hired based on quality of imagery, artistic exploration, consistency, clean and minimal editing, and simply having a photographer team there who felt like family. They well exceeded our expectations and I will forever brag of their incredible work! They are worth EVERY penny and more! // Emma, Baraga, MI // September 2019

Words cannot express how thankful we are that we chose Boy Girl Beauty World to capture all the special moments of our wedding this past September! After doing research on all the possible wedding photographers available in the area, we fell in love with Dylan and Marisa’s photography style and immediately knew that was what we were looking for. They not only excel in their role as photographers, but they are simply wonderful human beings as well. They are exceedingly kind, environmentally conscious, and made us feel so comfortable from our first meeting to our wedding day. Our photos came out absolutely stunning, and I could not recommend them more! // Gabriella, Marquette, MI // September 2018

Dylan and Marisa shot our wedding this past July in New England and they were amazing throughout the process. My wife’s co-worker recommended them after being at another wedding that they shot. Living in Denver we were nervous at first, but they made it very easy to communicate (including a couple of Skype sessions), very helpful and always answering questions/emails quickly and efficiently. They also had great recommendations with all of their wedding experience, that we had not thought of…Throughout the day they were very calm, well mannered and efficient (I have been at a couple weddings where the photographers are very rude and bossy, they were not this at all). We received our wedding day photos sooner then expected and we loved them all. They truly did an amazing job at capturing every aspect of our big day so that we get to relive it whenever we want. The photos are very easy to access for not only us but also our family and friends. We were beyond thrilled with Dylan and Marisa and would recommend them to anyone looking for professional photos, especially a wedding day!  // David, Cape Cod // July 2018 

Working with Marisa and Dylan of Boy Girl Beauty World came about by a recommendation made from a friend and local UP photographer who was unable to shoot our wedding. My husband and I live in Chicago but were planning a UP wedding as this was where I grew up and would be celebrating our union at my parent’s home. While I had never met either of them in person, they were incredibly easy to work with via email as our plans came together. The setting was autumn, the crowd was close friends and family, the event was warm and intimate. Marisa and Dylan arrived and immediately got to work scouting the spaces, taking detailed shots of our settings, rings, guests arriving – they buzzed around both outdoors and indoors without disrupting a thing, it’s as if they were welcomed flies on the wall.

During the ceremony I don’t recall seeing either of them as they were so discreet, but each moment captured was absolutely magical – they caught all of those moments that you hope you can remember, and truly encapsulate the day which was full of laughter and love. Both candid and posed images came together so naturally for these two; their kind characters and their warmth with each other allowed our guests to feel comfortable getting their own family pictures, their easy going nature helped to inspire some really creative shots even after dark, and their generosity with their time and energy helped my husband and I to relax and enjoy having those moments captured. We literally “wow” people with the photos of our wedding – the images will be cherished for a lifetime by ourselves, our friends, and our family.  //  Roberta, Crystal Falls, MI  // October 2017

I loved working with Dylan and Marisa! These two are fun, easy going, and down for anything! Our wedding was in October and it snowed! These two stuck it out with us in the freezing cold and captured the most amazing pictures! I honestly can’t say enough wonderful things about them. When I look at all of our pictures, it’s like I’m reliving the whole day from getting ready to the last dance. So happy I found Boy Girl Beauty World to capture our day!  // Jennie, Marquette, MI  // October 2017

Boy Girl Beauty World deserves a major shout out for their absolutely OUTSTANDING work!! I’ve always imagined my wedding day pictures to have their own fun little spin on things- something a little bit different than what I am used to seeing, wedding after wedding, and that is exactly what I got. BGBW caught so many special memories and moments of the day that I thought I would never ever forget, but it’s true what they say…your wedding day goes by so quickly, and it’s impossible to remember everything about the day- it almost feels like a blur. But what I have is the GORGEOUS photographs that bring me to tears looking at. There are so many natural and ‘unposed’ pictures: so many, that I didn’t even know the camera was clicking away half of the time- and that is exactly what I wanted in my wedding photos…raw emotion, love, and pure happiness. I am so so so happy with you guys, Marisa Torola & Dylan Peterson. The other wonderful thing about BGBW is that they are such a JOY to work with!! They are some of the most kind hearted and FUN people to be around- what a perfect duo to work with on one of the most important days of your life. So, THANK YOU, BGBW, for giving me these keepsakes to look back on and to pass on to future generations for years to come. Much love, always. //  Mary, Houghton, MI  // June 2016

What an amazing experience with Dylan and Marisa from the start! We were planning a destination wedding and not sure how to book a photographer. My husband was actually the one who found Boy Girl Beauty World for our engagement photos. We did a shoot with them for our engagement session and what a fun afternoon! They made us both feel so comfortable and were willing to try any of our pinterest ideas. When we received our pictures, we were in love and called them with the proposition to travel with us to Costa Rica for our wedding! They were so easy and flexible to work with as we figured out timing, venue, all the travel plans.

I can honestly say that Dylan and Marisa will always be apart of our wedding weekend, not only as our photographers but a part of our family! They fit right in with our friends and family. They maintained professional and in the end we received the most stunning pictures I have ever seen. Every day we look back at our pictures and find a new favorite! They not only captured our entire weekend but really just the personality and feeling around the whole experience! Willing to try anything and just have fun capturing our new adventure and the big day! The experience we had working with them and the most amazing pictures we received in return we couldn’t have asked for anything more! I would recommend and do recommend Boy Girl Beauty World to everyone!  //  Cheryl, Costa Rica  //  May 2016

I expressed how much we appreciated the work Marisa and Dylan of Boy Girl Beauty World did on our wedding photographs when I first saw them, but wow looking at them again I am seriously blown away!!!! Not only were they kind and respectful and did everything we asked for, the photos speak volumes to the amazing work they are capable of. Looking back at the pictures from our wedding brought back all of the amazing emotions and feelings I felt that day! Their photos are so bright and full of life and truly captured every beautiful moment from our special day, and the memories that we will forever cherish!! We could not have asked for two better people to play such an important role in our wedding day, so we just want to say thank you again to Marisa and Dylan for taking the most breathtaking photos we could’ve ever hoped for!! If you are looking for a wedding photographer they will not disappoint!!!  //  Jessie, Wisconsin  //  May 2016

Marisa and Dylan were absolutely fantastic. We had a very small wedding with immediate family only to keep things simple and intimate. They really blew everyone away with how wonderful they both were. The wedding was over 3 months ago and family members still mention how amazing they were to work with. And the pictures were so amazing too, check out their website to see more. I would highly, highly recommend them to anyone no matter how big or small your wedding is!  // Ashley, Eagle River, MI  //  September 2017

We decided to do a bridal shoot a few months after our simple elopement, as not having professional photographers present on our special day was our one elopement regret. Not being big “picture people”, we were a little nervous as we headed into the day – nerves that quickly vanished soon after Marisa and Dylan started doing their thing! They kept the whole photo shoot feeling low-key and very very personal, and they made us laugh and relax when we got too stiff and pose-y. They had lots of great ideas for great looking shots, but were open to our ideas too. The whole day was very “us”, and it just shows in our beautiful photographs that we will treasure forever! Thank you, Boy Girl Beauty World, for the wonderful experience and amazing photos! // Mallory, Calumet, MI  // August 2016
