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!

    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

  • Look no further than Kate - she's the best!

    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!
