“Merri & Bash understood that we wanted photos to reflect the intimacy and personality of our day."

“Merri & Bash are amazing. From our first introductory call, the wedding itself, through to the photo selection process after the wedding, they were great. They're so professional, responsive, know their craftsman, and understood right off the bat that we wanted photos that reflected the intimacy and personality of the day. Our photos turned out beautiful, and the compositions were interesting, personal, and captured our favorite memories in time. We highly, highly recommend them."

Your wedding day is full of love, and we promise to give photos that look how they feel. We’re focused on capturing real moments as they naturally unfold while you focus on having the time of your life.
