A candid approach to photography…

Capturing those spontaneous moments and keeping posing to a minimum. Flash is used minimally with a preference for natural light.

I tend to gravitate toward authentic, intimate, emotive people and experiences. This makes me especially drawn to weddings, families, small businesses, and any story that reflects the kind of living that provokes intentionality and thoughtful reflection.

What clients have to say…

Meredith

Merritt is a truly talented artist who excels not only at capturing intimate and memorable life events but does so in a way that highlights unexpected textures and beautiful details. Her photographs helped me to remember all the smiles and glances of my wedding day that would have otherwise been forgotten if not noticed, carefully curated, and edited by Merritt. Her colors are true yet earthy, and the background of her images often look like watercolor paintings. Merritt's joy for her work was evident in her ever-present kindness and graciousness throughout the long day — she even gave her time to stay late to capture our exit in the rain. Merritt was a joy to work with, and I would highly recommend her in all respects!

While looking for a wedding photographer, I looked for images that could stand the test of time with an artistic essence. That is exactly what I found in Merritt's work.

She seeks the intimate moments that are overlooked, yet beautiful. She uses nature to its full advantage. Her edits are breathtakingly gorgeous. She emanates a peace that is captivating.

Merritt perfectly captured the day, but she more so enhanced it.
Merritt was a joy to have as a part of our wedding day. She is one of those rare souls you meet and fall instantly fall in love with. Her spirit is bubbly, kind, grounded, and effortless. These are breathed into the work that she creates and the life she captures. When she arrived, it was like seeing an old friend (even though I had only talked with her over phone). She made me feel so loved and taken care of. She was professional and relaxed.

Merritt was one of my favorite wedding decisions I made and I would highly recommenced her to anyone!

We are so happy we hired Merritt to shoot our wedding. Getting photos of our guests was the most important thing for us, and Merritt managed to get beautiful shots of every single one! She was completely tuned in to every important moment, and was a delight the entire time. She was extremely organized and professional, so we could just focus on enjoying the day. Thank you, Merritt.
