About Andrew Merz
Andrew Merz
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!

Highly Recommend
Andrew & his team are incredible! We are so grateful to have found him! Andrew and Emily are a lovely, calming, and friendly presence! They were so aware of timing and ensured that all photos were captured. They are so professional and fun! The photos we have gotten back are STUNNING, and we are so excited to look at them for years to come. We would recommend Merz photography in a heartbeat - talented photographers and even better people! 100/10! Thank you, Andrew!

Almost skipped video... we lucked out with Andrew!
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!
