I cannot recommend Erik highly enough—truly a PHENOMENAL wedding photographer!
From our very first meeting, his energetic and fun-loving spirit was evident. He brought such a creative flair to every shot, making each moment of our special day feel magical and uniquely ours.
His professionalism was matched only by his warmth and genuine care, which shone through in every interaction. Erik was incredibly supportive throughout the entire process, always going above and beyond to ensure our vision was brought to life. The way he captured the essence of our celebration and the joy on everyone’s faces exceeded all our expectations.
If you’re looking for a photographer who is not only skilled but also brings a personal touch and boundless enthusiasm to his work, look no further. Erik is an absolute gem, and his talent made our wedding day even more unforgettable!

Merkow photography captures the essence of each person! We have been using him for over 18 years! I wouldn’t have my special occasion captured by anyone else!

We had the pleasure of working with Erik for our wedding, and the experience was exceptional from start to finish. From the initial consultation to the final delivery of our photos, Erik worked with us every step of the way, making the entire process seamless and stress-free. His warm and friendly personality instantly put us and our guests at ease, allowing him to capture many special moments effortlessly. The creativity and unique perspectives in our photos truly captured the essence of our special day in ways we never imagined. Overall, we couldn’t have asked for a better photographer. Highly recommended!

Erik captured candid moments that families would love to have in their memory books - remarkable experience!!

This guy is good! The pictures he took, amazing! At the service he was a true professional and you hardly knew he was there. Terrific to work with.

AMAZING pictures! I can t say enough about Erik. He helped make the memories I have of my wedding last with me forever in our pictures. He went above and beyond all expectations. I highly recommend him.

We were referred to Erik by my girlfriend who just got married. The pictures are so perfect and we really liked how classic they looked. We know that on our 50th wedding anniversary the pictures are going to be our biggest memory and we loved the style of Erik's work so much. Just a really nice guy and easy to work. We would definitely recommend him!

Our wedding photographs are amazing! Not only are we pleased, but so are our friends and family. We have received endless compliments.

We do not live in Arizona, so we were very pleased to find that Erik was so accommodating, easy to contact and very willing to work with us. He made our pictures fun and allowed us to feel natural while taking them. We couldn't be happier with the results. Thanks again Erik!

Sincerely,

Mr. and Mrs. Todd Ritchie

Erik is probably the most easy going person I have ever met. He has a great eye and is able to capture moments that mean the most. He is so fun to work with, we actually enjoyed taking pictures with him both at our engagement shoot and before the reception. He helped us savor the moment with a set of beautiful pictures that our family and friends can't stop talking about almost three months later. I read the review the person wrote in July-unfortunately he is a busy person. I learned that with all my vendors, they aren't just sitting around waiting for your wedding. We did have to call him, just the same as we had to call most of our other vendors however, he had it completely under control. Never once did I feel like "just a customer". I felt like a special project and I trusted him completely with my wedding. In fact, once he showed up at the ceremony I knew it was going to be smooth sailing. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for more than a "photographer" because Erik does not just take pictures, he captures emotions and it takes a lot of talent to be able to do that.

Erik Merkow was one of the best vendors I used for my wedding. From a creative standpoint, his work is breathtaking and he really captures the emotions of the whole day. He captured shots that brought back memories of my wedding as if I was experiencing the day all over again. From a professional standpoint he was very thorough and reliable. I trusted my wedding completely with him. I highly recommend him to every bride I meet!
