Merri Cyr Photography

y, certain formulaic themes start to emerge as you scroll through the images. We wanted to find a professional photographer who can tastefully go off the beaten path a bit. We came across Merri's work with musicians, and were struck by the edgy beauty and artistry. (I'm a classically trained musician, and her artist portraits are what initially caught my attention.) While we weren't quite sure how that would translate in the highly prescriptive and vanilla world of wedding, our engagement photoshoot with Merri quelled any uncertainty we had. She captures emotions, light, and action beautifully. The subjects' poses may leave much to be desired, but her work somehow yields natural and intimate images - whether taken in portraiture or photojournalistic style. On our wedding day, both Merri and Mark, her second photographer, were joy to work/be with. After the celebratory dusts settle, images are what remain. That, and love and bills. We are very much looking forward to seeing her work.
