About

Meet Emily, the woman behind the camera. Emily loves cozy moments, good coffee, delicious chocolate, fabulous wine, and travel. Lots of travel. She's lived on the east and west coasts, and will diplomatically tell you that she loves them both for their beautiful and unique qualities.

Emily sees each wedding as a distinctive personality with a story that she is passionate to convey through her loose, candid style of photography. Emily's energetic, editorial images are gracefully complimented by the classical portraits that she loves to direct so that you get the full story of your wedding day.

Emily is a romantic at heart. You can see it in her work, and you'll see it in the photographs she shoots for you. She is based in Marin County and shoots regularly in San Francisco, Sonoma, Napa, and when she's lucky, the Central Coast.

Fantastic experience and photos

We cannot say enough about how easy and great it was to work with Emily. She is incredibly responsive, helped ease our frazzled nerves on the big day, and most importantly is a fantastic photographer. We were recommended Emily by a friend and after our first call knew we wanted to work with her - it is a decision we do not regret. She was very transparent about pricing and timelines, and delivered the photographs ahead of schedule -- they look so great! We were excited to share them with friends and family and are now just stuck trying to decide which to print for ourselves to have around the house -- the quality is just too good to make it an easy choice.

Unsurpassed excellence

As the mother of the bride, this was the second wedding in our family and finding Emily to do the photos was fortuitous. She brought amazing professionalism and artistic quality to our event. She knew exactly what family photos we would want without imposing on the party. Our entire family cherishes the beautiful memories she recorded that evening.

Emily Merrill is such a talented photographer and truly a wonderful, lovely person to have as part of your wedding day! Your search is over! We had such a great experience with her. She's great at giving direction and helping you relax and be yourself in front of the camera. None of our photos look overly posed. Everything and everyone looks natural and her use of light is fantastic. The framing and composition come naturally to her. Her style is unique yet classic at the same time. We loved the mix of classic portraits and candids. Black and white were a bonus too! Your wedding day is stressful and timing is everything. Emily was able to quickly pick out the best settings and background for our photos and captured everything on my list all before the ceremony! It was great to have the family and bridal photos done so that after our "I Do's" we were able to focus on our wedding portraits. She had so many great ideas for us and I was completely blown away by my emotions when I saw the results. Her photos look rich, alive, and you can truly feel the love and happiness from your day when looking at them. You can tell she is truly passionate about capturing people just as they are. I cannot recommend her enough. Such a gem. Thank you, Emily!
