I braved the torrential downpour yesterday to meet and chat with Kathy DeMerchant. This mother of 3, (newest addition, adorable little baby Emma) and full time wedding photographer has got it going on! She is calm and welcoming and very easy to talk to. Traits she carries with her while meeting couples and shooting weddings.
Kathy started out working at the Hamilton Spectator. After meeting and marrying her husband Rick (also her second shooter), she took a keen interest in photography. It wasn’t long before she started her own company and booked her first wedding. Kathy is very relaxed when working with couples and has no problem getting goofy to get a laugh or giggle out of them. I get that vibe when looking at images of couples on their wedding day.
What’s important to Kathy? Engagement sessions. I have to totally agree. There’s no better way to see how you click…he he..in front of the camera. Some couples are naturals and don’t need any help at all, and some couples need a little nudge to get comfy in front of the lens. Kathy includes an e-session with all her collections.
Take a look at some of her images, you’ll feel warm and fuzzy on the inside.
