About this vendor

Hi, I am Erik Merkow Photography, and I have been a wedding photographer based in Arizona for close to twenty years. I'm not just a photographer—I'm a passionate, hopeless romantic creative who loves celebrating life's most love-filled moments. I feel blessed to be able to capture those moments in a way that will last forever for you and your family. From the first click of the shutter to the final polished print, my approach to wedding photography is defined by a blend of technical expertise, artistic vision, and the love your friends and family and the two of you are carrying with you throughout this beautiful day. I love that my job is to capture it all! If we don't get to work together, but you took the time to read this, congratulations on your engagement. I'm truly thrilled for you and your soon-to-be! And as I tell all the brides and grooms who walk towards me after their first kiss as husband and wife... Don't ever stop kissing like the first time you kissed! :-)

Erik has such an eye for the perfect pictures! We started using Merkow Photography back in 2005 when we were engaged and of course our wedding the following year. Ever since then we only use Merkow Photography to capture family photos and even extended family photos. We now have a photography gallery in our home of just his work! Merkow photography captures the essence of each person and that’s hard to do! He is reasonable to work with and very accommodating to help you find the right locations. You don’t need to look further for the perfect photographer for your special event, Merkow Photography is it!
