Merkle Photography

Photographer

Balancing life as a photographer, full-time dean, coach, husband, and father to three amazing boys I am grateful for my work and the people I love. For me, there is nothing more rewarding than anticipating a moment and rising to meet it, whether through my lens or through leadership.My photography is an expression of my desire to bring people together, and to show them how beautiful they truly are. While I’ve been recognized as a top photographer internationally, most people just say I am an “all around good guy”, and that works well for me.It is my pleasure to work with Katie as a team, and to weave our styles effortlessly to give you a one-of-a-kind portfolio of artistically captured moments you will never forget.

    I absolutely LOVED working with Katie and her second shooter, Chuck. I looked long and hard for my wedding photographer because I am very picky about photos, and Katie was The One.

    Katie (and Chuck) captured moments in time that I never thought possible of my daughter's wedding at The Liriodendron on Saturday, May 16, 2015. I wish I could post pics with this review, as they are nothing short of stunning! ...

    Katie was so sweet--she's the kind of person you want to patronize! Her assistant, Chris, was also really easy going and funny. They made the wedding day so much less stressful!

    Katie did an amazing job with our photos! We have received so many compliments saying how artistic she is and how wonderful our photos are. She can make a plain background look great!! She really has an artistic eye for lighting and capturing the moment. ...

    Katie & Thomas (Merkle) did my friend's engagement photos last fall, and I was impressed -- so I checked them out for my engagement photos too. Katie responded right away, and I liked that they offered a "one hour" package as well as the "lifestyle shoot" that is typical. She was flexible in letting me feel out what I needed, but this arrangement made Merkle Photography more than competitive on price. ...

    Katie Merkle is PHENOMENAL. Our wedding photos turned out better than we ever could have imagined, and we have not stopped getting compliments on them since. She is responsive, helpful and SO talented. I cannot recommend her strongly enough! If you want gorgeous photos that are perfect reminders of your wedding day, look no further!
