Business Description

We offer artistic, emotional and elegant wedding photography and portraiture. At Merrick Photography we use all our technical and fine art skills to create photographs and portraits that will be treasured as family heirlooms. Every detail of your wedding photography or family portrait is carefully planned to the smallest detail, leaving nothing to chance, and ensuring that your finished wedding books and wall portraits are better than you ever dreamed possible. Our service area includes Memphis, West & Middle Tennessee, North Mississippi, East Arkansas and Southeast Missouri. For weddings, we provide unlimited wedding day coverage. Before the wedding, we spend time to plan and organize your wedding photography so that your day goes smoothly. We also do a beautiful engagement portrait session on location. A bridal gown portrait, also taken before the wedding, allows us to photograph the bride-to-be in her elegant wedding gown. We use one of these images as an unforgettable surprise for someone special on your wedding day! Afterwards we edit, retouch and professionally enhance the photographs with our unique blend of artistic vision and technical skills to produce a multi-volume Italian Wedding Book that you will cry tears of joy over. For portraiture we help you to plan the location, clothing, hair & make-up and every other small detail. We then project your final images at full-size to make your wall portrait choice easier than ever. You are fully protected with our no-hassle 100% money back guarantee if you are not completely thrilled with your photographs.
