Marilyn began her career as an exclusive model for Piaget Polo Watches. Her dream was to get behind the camera rather than in front of it, and started photography in 1980. Her first assignment included Prince Charles polo matches sponsored by Piaget. She's photographed Tommy Lee Jones, Arnold Palmer, and was a personal friend and photographer of the late, great, Jerry Garcia, to name a few.

She photographed the "Alvin", deep sea submersible and the Atlantis II crew during the historic 1985 'Titanic' dive headed by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute.

After working and living on both East and West coasts for 15 years, Marilyn retired from field photography and returned to the Midwest in 1998 to provide wedding and special event photography services in the St. Louis area.

From Marilyn's numerous contacts, her work has been published in various formats both nationally and internationally from CD labels for various artists to magazine covers and photo layouts. She recently completed portfolios for two finalists in the Fox Television hit series "AMERICAN IDOL" Jim Verraros and Natalie Burge.

Marilyn's approach to wedding photography is unequaled in the St. Louis area. Her team of 6 full time wedding photographers, that have assisted her for the last 7 years, all strictly use her style. Fixed tripods are rarely used which limit creativity. Camera work is handheld giving maximum flexibility for best shot angles with a photojournalistic feel. The company’s candid/photojournalistic shots are among favorites of brides. Marilyn’s style allows for twenty to thirty diverse photos to be taken and then move on before most photographers can get set up! As a result, you'll get a unique blend of traditional, photojournalistic, detailed, and artistic work for your wedding day coverage with no time wasted.

Natural Aspects photography coverage is unlike any you've experienced in the past.
