What we are all about, 



We want to create those breathtaking, emotion-filled photographs with you. 
We want you to look at your images and fall in love with your story all over again
We want to share in your vision for your special day and create unforgettable moment that will last a lifetime.


We don’t want to just show up on the day, take a few pretty pictures and send them off to you when we’re done. 

We want to work with you as a team. From the moment you book us, we want to establish an open and real relationship. We love to photograph the connections between you and your loved ones, but it’s so important for us to connect with you. This ensures that we know who you are and are able to capture your day on a much deeper level. 


OKAY. SO THESE TWO IN THE PICTURE,

YEAH - THAT'S US


We are absolutely nuts about each other. I guess that’s why we love LOVE so much. We know the light and joy it brings to your life when you meet that one person. YOUR person. And we thank the Lord each day for giving us the gift of marriage.

We’re also having a little new addition to our family… a baby boy!

Life might look a little different at the moment with bedtime routines and nappy changes, but when we get around we LOVE to spend time outdoors with our family and friends. 

We LOVE to travel and find new places and meet new people. We’re ALWAYS up for an adventure.


WHERE DOES 'MERLOT' COME FROM?


The name of our business "Merlot" came from our love for warm and happy memories. We thought of what could resemble a special time with family and friends. For us, in many occasions, it would go hand in hand with a class of beautiful red wine. The warmth of the colour feels like home, thus the colours of our brand.

We want to enhance & capture the warmth that love brings to our hearts.
