Alex + Marisa
ALMAR Creative is the 2020 brainchild of a husband & wife team, Alex and Marisa Kikis. He’s a photographer, with a background in live events, lifestyle shoots, and digital branding imagery. She’s an actress, model, and event planner with a passion for social media marketing and brand communications.
When COVID-19 uprooted their jobs and livelihood in NYC (where they lived together for nearly 10 years), they made the decision to relocate from their apartment in Williamsburg, Brooklyn to Marisa’s hometown of San Diego, California for some much-needed fresh air, family time, and overall calmer pace of life. The big backyard for their pup to run around in didn’t hurt either!
Flash forward through a global pandemic, and with the expansive landscape of Southern CA’s coastal shorelines at their disposal, they decided to bring their vision of curating brand-specific photo shoots to life, and ALMAR Creative was born.
Aside from photography and content creation, Alex and Marisa are obsessed with four things: their bright and bubbly 10-mo old son Sky, their wild and cuddly cavapoo Charlie, Friends (the TV show & their real-life ones), and eating fish tacos whenever humanly possible.
