Love stories, told honestly

We are devoted to capturing the essence of your unique story with care, creativity, and an unyielding commitment to visual excellence.

The experience

A calm plan for a day that moves fast.

Your photographs and film should feel like the people in them—not like a production was imposed on the day. Merchan Films builds enough structure to keep coverage dependable, then leaves room for the gestures, reactions, and in-between moments that make the story yours.

For proposals and engagements, we help choose the timing, light, location, and a simple plan that protects the surprise. For weddings, we coordinate the timeline with your planner and other vendors, clarify the moments that matter most, and keep portrait time focused so you can get back to the celebration.

01

Share the plan

Send the date, venue or city, and the kind of coverage you are considering. We will confirm availability and recommend the right starting point.

02

Shape the timeline

We plan light, locations, key people, and must-have moments before the day. Photo and video coverage are coordinated as one team when booked together.

03

Relive it naturally

Your edited photographs or film are delivered online in a polished, easy-to-share format, with the timing outlined before you book.

Questions, answered

Do you photograph proposals and engagement sessions?

Yes. We can help with location, timing, and a discreet plan for the proposal, then move into a relaxed portrait session after the moment.

Can we book photography and videography together?

Yes. The Full Story combines both so the coverage is planned together and the visual style stays consistent across the final gallery and film.

How far ahead should we reserve a wedding date?

Popular spring and fall dates can book well in advance. Send your date as soon as it is firm; if it is not set yet, the inquiry form lets you say that too.

Will you help us feel comfortable on camera?

Absolutely. Direction is simple and specific when you need it, but the goal is never to over-pose the day. Most of the strongest frames happen between prompts.
