About Andrew Merz

Andrew Merz

Wedding photographer

I like to take a journalistic approach to my wedding photography, letting the day flow naturally, all while capturing every wonderful moment for the couple as non-obtrusive as possible. My goal is to make your big day as stress free & fun as possible while capturing memories to last a life time!

After successfully shooting events, ad campaigns, and real estate for 5 years I slowly came to realize that I missed capturing the human emotion and little moments that photography allows you to freeze forever. From that moment on I knew I had to pivot and have been shooting weddings for the past 4 years. I make it my mission to document the small and intimate moments couples share together and love working with couples that are so obsessed with one another they often forget I'm even there!

    When we were first planning our wedding, my wife and I weren't sure whether or not we were going to have a videographer. We figured photos would capture the moments and event, but about a month beforehand, both of our parents urged us to record the day on video. Andrew was a godsend! He was super responsive and professional, helped us craft our vision for the teaser video as well as the longer feature, and was a notably awesome teammate to our photographer (so cool seeing them work together strategically after just meeting!). Andrew went above and beyond and recorded a lot of candid moments and all of our friends' speeches on the Friday before the wedding, which was really important to us. We can't imagine having NOT had Andrew as our videographer now, and we often smile and cry when we watch our full length video of our big day. If you choose to work with Andrew, you'll be happy you did.

  • Easy to work with and very talented

    Our wedding was 10x better with the ease and professionalism of Andrew! We opted for digital and different kinds of film photography, which all came back stunning. He has a great eye and gave us exactly what we were looking for and asked. When I had questions, he was a great professional who gave me guidance. Can’t recommend him enough!

  • Highly recommend!!

    We absolutely LOVED working with Andrew! He made our wedding day run so smoothly and stress free. From being so attentive to me while getting ready for the big day to making us feel so relaxed in all of our photos - I can’t imagine our wedding day without him. I highly recommend Merz Photography for engagement photos and wedding photos. I never doubted his creative vision and will always cherish our photos from the most special day in our lives.
