Kate Merrill Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,200
  • Serves Thornton, CO

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.

Can't say enough good things about Kate! Kate's photos looked fun and candid, but still beautiful, and the prices were quite reasonable (we researched dozens of photographers). When we messaged her, she was so responsive and fun we knew we had to have her no matter what. She was very thorough, making sure we got the pictures WE wanted, and not what our parents or other guests might be thinking. Everything was laid out way ahead of time so we all knew what to expect. I really appreciated the planning beforehand, because while it can be a lot, it made the actual wedding day/week SO much smoother. Pictures took about 6 weeks, which was great turn around for *over 600 photos*. We absolutely love them! Some of the photos are gorgeous posed shots of my husband and I that I'm absolutely getting framed, but some of the best are these candid moments from after the wedding and reception. She got us signing our marriage license, hugging and crying with our guests, and doing finger guns with my sister at the reception. She didn't miss a thing and it's the best recreation of the day we could've possibly asked for. All our guests also remarked on how cool she was - some of them even thought she was just a friend of ours they'd never met cause she fit in so well! GET KATE

I don't even know if I have the words.... We feel SO LUCKY to have hired you. I went into our engagement session feeling nervous and self-conscious and awkward. You guys made both of us feel comfortable and that session turned out to be so much fun! Those portraits came out beautifully! Then, oh the wedding! I could not have asked for a better overall experience as far as the photography went. We loved having you there. There were moments I completely forgot you were around and alas! We have photos you took without us noticing. From the most special moments to the silly, fun, dance floor pics - you captured so many memories for us and our family and friends. We can't thank you enough for that!! BUT... the icing on the cake. When you guys said "Do you want to go get storm pics?" we had no idea what was in store. We still can't believe how amazing those lightning shots are! Everyone we show them to gasp. Thank you thank you thank you for making this part of our life together so beautiful and for capturing so much for us. After all of that, we couldn't fathom considering anyone else for senior portraits! Caleb's are as amazing as we knew they would be and we can't wait to see Ian's next year! I'll be reaching out for some professional headshots at some point and have recommended you to EVERYONE we know is looking for a photographer. We can't fully express our gratitude. We would not have changed a thing.

Stephanie was FANTASTIC. Especially as a first time bride you don’t want to be worrying about other people doing their jobs. You want someone who will lead and provide direction. We never met in person prior to the wedding and I was a bit nervous about how comfortable I’d feel in front of the camera but her warm and playful demeanor quickly dissolved my nervousness. Stephanie snagged the best shots that captured so much play, love, and joy. I loved that she sent me ALL the pictures. There’s so many I love that I would’ve lost out on if I were limited to a certain amount.

There are not enough words to express just how unbelievable Mike and Christine are! We originally chose them because we were fortunate enough to have witnessed them at work. They were the most impressive photography/videography team we had ever seen, and we needed them for our wedding! Trust me when I say, they are even better than you can possibly imagine. From our initial meeting, all the way through the process of engagement photos and finally the wedding itself, they were incredible. They respond almost immediately with any questions you might have. They made sure that all of our requested photos were taken and made sure that we stayed as close to our timeline as possible. The teaser video and highlight videos that Mike created are truly magical. I am completely obsessed with them. He was able to capture footage of everything, without us even knowing he was there. Mike and Christine are true artists with the most unbelievable eye for detail. I cannot recommend them highly enough and I know that we would have been disappointed had we chosen anyone else.

Choosing Katie was by far one of the best decisions my husband and I made for our wedding day!!! We are both professional photographers and videographers so this was a tough decision for us. But the second we found Katie, we knew we needed to hire her. Not only are her pictures clean, crisp, beautifully presented and creative, they are also timeless. We wanted our personalities to shine and she captured our day beyond perfectly. I stare at our photos in awe regularly. Beyond her incredible talent, Katie is truly the most awesome person you will meet. We’ve become good friends who get dinner and play in softball leagues together!!! She brought so much love and light to our day and I wouldn’t have had it any other way. I will always hire Katie for our photography needs!!!! And you should too!!!

Beau and his team were incredibly communicative, professional, and personable throughout the entire process. Their clear and thoughtful approach put us at ease, and their high-quality, incredible work truly captured the story of our special day. Beau's style of capturing candid moments between us, our family, and friends never felt forced or posed, and we felt so comfortable being in front of the camera (despite not being used to that at all!). The examples of Blue Spruce's work speak for themselves - we were blown away at how perfectly they captured our wedding, and we will cherish these images for the rest of our lives!

Hey I'm Katie! "I promise that you’ll never find another like me-e-e, ooh-ooh-ohh. I’m the only one of me, baby that’s the fun of me…" (Admit it—you sang along, didn’t you?)

Your wedding day is about celebrating what makes your relationship unique and capturing all the feels and moments with your loved ones is part of that too.

I am a Denver, CO based photographer with an inclination to travel. I am constantly inspired by new environments and experiences which I consider each wedding day to be. I've been in the wedding industry for 7+ years and no two wedding days have been the same and in my opinion, that's how it should be, as no two couple's story are the same. I picked up a camera at age 18 and just have yet to set it down at age 26. My aussie, Dixie, has been with me every step of the way and loves to travel herself. I am a hard core foodie and will try anything at least once (as will Dixie).

I cannot recommend Madison enough—she’s seriously THE BEST! From the moment we started chatting about my wedding to the day of, she showed up with her sweet and chill vibe and made everything feel so easy and natural, even when the day was *chaos*. She has such an amazing eye and captured literally all the little moments I didn’t even know I’d want to remember (like our pups or that sweet look my husband gave me during the first dance). The photos are beyond stunning—Pinterest-worthy, dreamy, and exactly how I pictured them. If you’re thinking about booking her, just full send it. Trust me, you’ll thank me later!

Any random idea I saw I would ask her about and she was so receptive to it all & catered the entire experience to us (she also gave incredible ideas that fit with our personal style which were some of my favorite shots). Overall - we LOVED working with her & I would not have changed a single thing about her or the process, she did a fabulous job capturing our special days & she acclimated exceptionally to the different styles of each event.

She photographed our intimate, backyard ceremony and reception and then joined us again for a one year anniversary celebration.
