Kate Merrill Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,600
  • Serves Golden, 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.

Kate is so amazing at what she does! She made us feel so comfortable and confident in front of the camera but also let us be our silly goofy selfs. Kate did our engagement and elopement pictures and she did a wonderful job, beautiful pictures! I can’t recommend Kay enough!

Santana was AMAZING! Professional in communication before the wedding to make sure he understood all the shots we needed, showed up early on the day of the wedding to check out the location and pick the perfect spot for our reveal. Even when a groomsmen went missing, he helped us problem solve the pics that could be taken and took extra time after the wedding to get all our wedding party photographed. He went above and beyond to make our day special and stress free. Plus he did an AMAZING job making our diverse wedding party look their best in the finished pictures. 10 out of 10 recommend!

We make wedding photography unbelievably fun and easy! Our unparalleled experience, professionalism and talent means that you will get amazing photos and video that you will bring back those amazing memories forever. Throughout the wedding planning process, you can expect clear communication, expert advice, technical and creative talent and some serious fun.

Bethany from Elevate (with the help of Emily) photographed our wedding in November 2024, and I truly couldn’t have imagined a more perfect experience. As the bride, I really wanted the focus of our photos to be genuine, expressive moments that truly reflected what the day felt like—and WOW, they absolutely nailed it. The images are bursting with emotion, laughter, and love, capturing the energy and spirit of our celebration so beautifully. I’m a very expressive person (my face shows everything I’m feeling), and some of my favorite photos are the candid ones—pure joy on my face, my husband’s, our families’, and our guests’. Looking back through them takes me right back to that day, and I just can’t stop smiling. Bethany perfectly documented everything—from the vibe of the venue, to the ceremony, to sweet little moments between loved ones, to wedding party portraits. Every shot feels intentional yet natural. Even when we ran a little behind schedule, Bethany stayed calm, kind, and supportive—never once adding stress. She made me feel comfortable, beautiful, and totally present. Most of the time, I barely even noticed the camera. Bethany and Emily blended right in, capturing everything organically rather than staging or directing too much. It honestly felt like having two close friends there, cheering us on. I couldn’t have picked a better team to document such a meaningful day.

Hi! I’m Bri! Cameras have always been a passion, but it wasn’t until I left my corporate job that I fully embraced photography as my calling. I started by capturing Jiu Jitsu, focusing on its raw intensity, but soon realized I love the mushy gushy moments—tearful vows, quiet glances, and the joy of saying “yes” to forever. Now, I specialize in weddings, elopements, engagements, and proposals, blending storytelling with emotion and movement. With a keen eye for detail, I create images that feel natural, artistic, and deeply personal—telling your story exactly as it is.

Josh and I got engaged on 2/20/25 and Josh had hired Bri to photograph our engagement! She hid, I had no idea till after I was engaged. She did a wonderful job catching such a raw and beautiful moment between us!! Her and Josh even had to make a last minute plan and change locations for the surprise engagement due to weather, and she was very flexible, and worked with Josh the night before, and the plan worked out amazing, I still had no clue!! Bri is an amazing choice for a photographer for any occasion! Thank you Bri!

Proud to call Lakewood home. We love traveling our beautiful state capturing the most important moments in couple's lives! Our lead team consists of Beau and Luke (photographers) and Reese (videography.) We approach weddings in a photojournalistic style with a focus on candid/genuine moments.

From the moment we booked Blue Spruce Photography Videography, we knew we were in excellent hands. 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!

From the initial appointment, Lindsay was so warm and friendly - she made the entire process so unbelievably smooth. I never once had to worry or ask for communication - because she was always on top of everything before I had to ask. She was a great resource for us. When it came to the engagement session, ceremony, and reception, Lindsay made us feel so comfortable (we are notoriously awkward in front of a camera & she really made us feel 100% comfortable, which made every event more fun because she could capture our most authentic selves. 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.

I love my job because I’m passionate about capturing people in a way that is beautiful and different from how they usually see themselves when they look in the mirror. I’m here for all the magical golden hour photos, the dance floor candids, the sweet details and everything in between!

Katie is more than just an incredible photographer, friend throughout the entire process. Back in February, I was scrambling to plan a last minute proposal and had spent months looking for someone I could trust. Katie came through in every possible way. Not only did she help me pull off the proposal flawlessly, but she also helped plan the entire experience, from the perfect location to places we could go afterward to celebrate. What stood out the most was how comfortable she made both me and my fiancée feel, especially since I’m not usually very photogenic. She brought such a calm, warm presence to the shoot, and her flexibility and thoughtful suggestions made everything stress free. Katie wasn’t just our photographer, she became a special part of our story. We’re now planning our wedding and genuinely hope to have Katie there not just behind the camera, but as a guest and friend. Highly, highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer who truly goes above and beyond.

That means I capture your day in a way that feels like a movie you can watch every time you look back at your photos.

Awarded Best of Zola
Natalie could not have made our wedding day and engagement photos more special or more perfect. As someone who almost never likes photos of myself, finding a photographer was the wedding vendor chore I was dreading the most. I went into our first conversation with Natalie feeling anxious and honestly a little skeptical that I would love anything. I told her I would be over the moon if I liked even 10 pictures from the entire day. Ten photos. That felt like a big ask. What she delivered was beyond anything I could have imagined. Not only did she immediately put us at ease during our engagement shoot, but on our wedding day she brought such a calm, confident energy that made everything feel effortless. She knew exactly when to gently guide us and when to step back and capture moments as they naturally unfolded. At no point did anything feel forced or overly posed. It felt like us. We received nearly 1,000 photos from our wedding day and I genuinely love almost every single one. She captured the big emotional moments, the quiet in-between glances, the joy on our family and friends’ faces, the details I worked so hard on, and the feeling of the day in a way I didn’t even realize was possible. Looking through the gallery feels like reliving the day all over again. Natalie fully understood my style and what I was hoping for, even when I struggled to articulate it. That kind of intuition is rare and she absolutely nailed it. I will forever be grateful for the gift she gave us through her talent. These are the photos we’ll look back on for the rest of our lives, and I cannot imagine trusting anyone else with something so important. If you’re even considering working with her, do it. She is extraordinary.

Wow, where do I begin?? When going through photographers in the Minnesota area for engagements, it was a very overwhelming process! I somehow stumbled upon Mckenzie’s website and immediately knew she was the person I wanted to take our photos!! I truly believe her personality, warmth and comfort is beautifully portrayed through the photos she takes! You can tell how comfortable and relaxed my fiancé and I were and it truly felt just like another close friend taking pictures of us! Nothing was awkward or uncomfortable. It was probably one of the best experiences we’ve ever had!! I could not be happier with how these photos turned out and how much effort and time she put into editing and making sure everything was absolutely perfect and beautiful for us!

Was initially a little intimidated about choosing a wedding photographer. I think wedding photography across the board is gorgeous, but I knew I wanted someone who understood my vision of vibrant color, playful portraits, and capturing the details my husband and I had so carefully picked. Came across Nicole on a Facebook ad-- not remotely expecting to find a vendor that way. I couldn't stop looking at the photos and reached out to her right away. We had so many great vendors at our November 2023 wedding, but Nicole was on the tippy top of that list in terms of communication, professionalism, time management, energy, and willingness to hear our input. It's been months, but I find myself getting sucked into new photos all the time-- there's that many great shots! One of my bridesmaids is also a wedding photographer, so I asked for her input in hiring Nicole and she was very impressed with her portfolio, her pricing, etc.

Cameron was incredible and a vital part of our special day. I had also used Cameron for our engagement pictures, and he played a role in setting up the proposal moment as well (his acting skills are movie worthy :-)). His work represents awareness, attention to detail, but most importantly he is a blast to be around and makes the day fun. Not only did my wife and I love Cameron, both of our family’s saw him as part of the wedding and not just the photographer. We would highly recommend him for any style of event. We will continue to use him for all events down the road.

For many years I was a four-star chef. I got into photography to have creative control over the pictures of my food. One day I was working for a caterer at a wedding, and the photographer asked if I could fill in for his assistant. I thought why not, and I haven’t looked back since that fateful day when I traded in my knife for a camera. While I was a chef, I felt personally responsible for my customers’ happiness. I feel the same way about photographing your wedding. I want to create a unique personal experience for every bride and groom. I like to foster a fun and relaxed atmosphere during the shoots.

My passion and skill in wedding photography has grown immensely in the last decade, and I have had the opportunity to shoot in locations like Maui, Charleston and Cape Fear.

As a true master of her craft, Lauren has an exceptional eye for capturing emotional moments with grace and skill. She was flexible and fun during our portrait sessions, guiding us while still ensuring we got the photos we envisioned. Lauren's time management was impeccable despite my lack of such.

Hi, my name is Kimberly and I’m a witness and documenter of truth. I've specialized in Wedding & Portrait Photography for the last 10 years and am grateful to call in my full time career. I’ve been blessed with photographing over 180 weddings and it is truly the biggest honor to witness a wedding day and freeze it in time. In my free time my favorite thing to do is spend quality time with family, friends, and cats. I love adventuring with my husband and feel most at home being outdoors exploring new places.

I don’t think works can describe how instrumental Kimberly was to making our wedding planning and wedding day memorable. From our first phone call we instantly knew we found the right person. Our engagement pictures turned out better than we imagined and my boudoir shoot was the most empowering experience ever!! We both never take pictures so had anticipated this process to be uncomfortable, but had the complete opposite experience. She is now stuck with us for every major milestone! Not only did we have fun but truly felt that our personalities were captured and the joy she captured was palpable. This was the best investment we made to fully capture such a memorable!! Our guests also had nothing but positive things to say and echoed our sentiments on how enjoyable she made our day!

I love to be outside, and combined with my passion for emotive imagery and getting to know your story, I adore what I get to do for my work. I focus on capturing the intimate, authentic moments of your story and weave them into a series that is casually joyfully you. With a background in travel and documentary photography, previously working in international non profit storytelling, my style speaks to those looking for the organic story with the greatest value being in experiences over things.

Rose is the most incredible photographer I have ever worked with! She has such an eye for capturing the beautiful little details that mean so much on your wedding day. We got married in a standard ceremony with reception afterwards, which she shot just perfectly. She also did our engagement photo shoot which we loved! There were so many times looking through our wedding gallery where I was pleasantly surprised she had captured a specific moment during our wedding and reception, as I hadn't even noticed she was there taking a picture! She has such an eye for the little interactions between family members. She is also so skilled at incorporating movement into your photos so they aren't just standard posed pictures (which she can also do beautifully) but instead photos of my husband and I running through a field/walking around/him twirling me, etc. Truly cannot get over how beautiful our wedding photos are - all thanks to Rose! She is also a breath of fresh air to have nearby throughout the day - there was a lot of stress and activity going on and she was such a calming presence. 10/10 recommend Rose as your wedding or elopement photographer! Well worth the money to have these photos you will look at and remember the day for the rest of your life.

I'm head over heels for my fireman, patient mama of two (9 and 4), oldest of 5, and a lover of dark beer and other people's love stories. I encourage my couples to push for what they want on their wedding day- whether that's a white dress on a golf course or something free from tradition. My own wedding was at our first date spot (a coffee/whiskey/donut shop), Carbon Coffee, Downtown Denver. It was incredibly meaningful and one of the best days of my life. I'd like to ensure my clients the same wonderful memories. *Discounts to active military and first responders!

Katie took our engagement photos and is doing our wedding in October and we couldn’t recommend her more! During our time working with her, Katie has always been very responsive, organized, professional, and easy to work with. Katie’s style of getting to know us and produce genuine reactions during our engagement shoot really made the photos shine. We love the online gallery that makes it so easy for us to access our photos whenever we need to! You can’t go wrong working with Katie for your wedding photography.

We loved working with Emmy and Brittany! Emmy planned out so much for our elopement which helped relieve so much stress! And when weather flipped the script Brittany and I figured out a new plan right before we eloped and found another beautiful location. I’d highly recommend them for any type of wedding or ceremony! WE can't wait to use them for our future celebrations!
