Welcome!!

Hi!!! :) I’m Jen Merlo and thanks so much for stopping by!! Photography has been my absolute passion for the last +26 years and I absolutely love photographing weddings and special family time.

My photography style is VIBRANT, COLORFUL and full of LIFE. My amazing clients tell me time and time again how much they love the way I capture the special moments, looks, emotion, fun, and spirit of each wedding and family I photograph. I love to capture the classic moments AND I also LOVE to capture all of the candid moments. These usually turn out to be my clients’s favorites . . . I’m sneaky like that :)

My style is fun, genuine and thoughtful. We have a blast during weddings and family sessions are full of play. I love putting my clients at ease and showing them just how gorgeous they and these moments truly are.

I would love to get to know you!! If it sounds like me and my photography would be a great match for you, please reach out anytime!!

Engagement Photography Quick Video Peeks

I hope you LOVE this video of Naomi and Paul’s Engagement Photo Session!! The winter scenery is GORGEOUS in Eastern North Carolina and those sunset shots were incredible. We were having such a blast we continued the shoot from Beaufort and Beaufort Hotel all the way to the beach and Fort Macon State Park :)

Enjoy this video with a few peeks from Alexis and Nick’s Engagement Photo Session!! It was a very cold February day at the beach and Fort Macon State Park! I brought along hand warmers, blankets, and hot chocolate but these two warmed right up!! :)
