About Kate Merrill Photography

Kate Merrill Photography

I’m Kate; a dog obsessed, coffee shop lurking, total weirdo of a Denver wedding photographer. I’m blessed with a very dry sense of humor (I’m British, I can't help it) and love using it to diffuse awkwardness in front of the camera. As one of my couples wonderfully phrased it, I’m “artsy without being inaccessible.” You know when things look good, and I do too. I’m here for the weirdos, wanderers, and folx who make the world a more interesting place. I AM INCLUSIVE OF ALL TYPES OF PEOPLE AND ALL TYPES OF LOVE. When you reach out to me, you will be met with nothing other than encouragement, support, and excitement to celebrate YOU.

I want your photos to scream YOU from the rooftop. I'm not here to throw every couple into the same generic Pinterest pose and call it a day. I get to know my couples personally, and use movement, fun, and laughter to bring out your best and most authentic selves during your portraits. My focus during your day is on catching emotional moments as they unfold and not being underfoot as you experience your day. I just want you to live it up and party, and I'll get amazing candids of all the fun. I'm laid back and go with the flow and will never add stress to the day!

    The short version, don’t even bother looking at another photographer; Kate is the one. You can see on her website that Kate’s photos are gorgeous. What you can’t see on a website is how Kate made us feel seen and celebrated at every step of our wedding. As a queer couple, having vendors who were going to celebrate our queerness was an absolute must. Some wedding vendors try to be “inclusive” by shoving one picture of a conventionally attractive same-sex couple deep into their website. Not Kate. We knew we weren’t going to be treated as some side show or portfolio builder. If you are queer and planning a wedding, you know how heteronormative this industry is. Kate is the exception to that rule. If that wasn’t enough, Kate literally saved our wedding when my partner tested positive for covid the night before our wedding. Kate was on the phone with us at 10:30pm reassuring us and confirming plans for a covid-safe wedding. Our shot list was moot, but Kate got every picture we wanted and so many more we would have never thought of. Kate was our hype person, our therapist, our best friend, our coordinator, our hydration enforcer, our family dynamic calmer, all while taking the most beautiful pictures capturing this unique and frazzled but perfect day. I would go so far as to say that you don’t know the true potential and value of having a wedding photographer unless Kate Merrill is your wedding photographer.

  • Amazingly talented and so fun!
