“Merry was such an amazing photographer! As most brides know there is a lot of stress with wedding planning but Merry helped make my day run so much smoother and was able to document it with stunning photos. One of the best things she did was build a schedule for me - this told me who, of the bridal party and family, needed to be ready for pictures at what time, and helped me plan the reception timeline (dances, cake cutting, etc.) with my venue.

As for her photos, stunning really is the only word I have to describe them. Normally, I hate photos of myself, I think I look awkward and uncomfortable, but Merry really helped pose us in a way that prevented that and capture those beautiful candid moments. I can honestly say, I think I look gorgeous in my wedding photos, and a lot of that is thanks to Merry’s ability to capture the genuine moments.

“Merry was unbelievably amazing! She got every picture we wanted, was professional, on time, and went above and beyond for us. She helped make our day so special and is one of the kindest people I know!! You will absolutely LOVE working with her!!”

“Merry, you did an AMAZING job on our family pictures! We are so thankful that you were able to capture each one of our personalities and you were so comfortable with all 23 of us running around like the crazy people we are. WE LOVE YOU!!! We will treasure these for years and years to come. THANK YOU.”

“Our generational photo session with Merry was wonderful. She was easy going and fun, and the pictures are beautiful. She captured the personality of each family member and the warmth of our quirky clan. Her rates are reasonable and her client care is top notch.”

“Merry did such an amazing job on our family pictures! This was our first time doing photos with 2 little ones and she was so patient with them and all their craziness and still captured beautiful moments! I am so in love with our pictures and her eye for choosing the right setting was fantastic!!”

“Merry Ohler is a saint!!! I’ve had such anxiety about being in family photos, knowing the likelihood of my son being cooperative was low, and thinking I would look as much of a hot mess as I felt.

Merry made all of that disappear. She’s as down to earth as she is talented. She gets it, all of it!!!! You need Merry Ohler Photography to capture your moments in time! Even the messy parts, because at the end of the day that’s the life I love!”

“Merry is an absolutely AMAZING photographer! Since our first meeting in a coffee shop, I clicked with her and her warm and bubbly personality. She took a lot of time to talk to me in depth about what I wanted and the story I wanted to tell about my wedding through her photography. Before I had hired her, I was in love with her photos because each one told a story, and she really captures the best candid and sincere moments. She also captures every ounce of emotion in each shot, which a lot of photographers don’t do, and that is why I chose her. She was extremely flexible with us as our toddler threw a tantrum the day of our wedding during family photos and threw us a bit off schedule. She was amazing with our toddler because she has little ones of her own, and she knew just how to calm him down to get him in photo mode. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer, for any occasion. I will be using her for future photo sessions as well!”

“Merry is more than just a photographer, she listens to your wants and needs and captures the moments you’ll never want to forget. I’ve used her, worked with her and know she is reliable and trust worthy. Hands down the best photographer in Kansas City!”

“Merry is incredible! She is professional, kind, and an expert photographer. Her work is excellent! I am completely comfortable on stage in front of others, but in front of a camera I freeze. Merry made me feel so comfortable and at ease. She is also wonderful to work with. I had a ideas of my photos, she took them and made it better than I ever envisioned. I would (and have) recommended Merry to all my friends and family!”

“Merry was absolutely wonderful to work with... She captured beautifully a precious season of life for my husband and I as we journey to parenthood. Merry gave us direction (which is so helpful) and made sure every hair was in place and every wrinkle smoothed. I am thrilled with our photos!”

“I have had the honor of Merry doing our engagement photos, wedding photos, and family photos. She is incredibly talented, patient, and relatable. In the photo of my husband and I there was one kid screaming in the stroller and Merry was holding our sleeping 3 month old while taking beautiful pictures at the same time. We travel 3 hours to get our photos done with her. I will never go to anyone else. Thank you Merry!”

“I had the pleasure of Merry taking our engagement and wedding photos. She did an incredible job and was able to capture and preserve the memories that will last a lifetime. She is an amazing person and extremely talented. Brava! Thank you for your amazing work! I have a photographer for all of my life events now and future.”

“Merry was great to work with! She was going to be in my area (Springfield, Mo), but we had to reschedule due to illness for my son. She found a new location in Kansas City that was perfect. I LOVED all of our pictures. They captured our little family perfectly.”

“Merry does amazing work! Not only are her captures stellar and memorable, she is personable and genuinely cares. She patiently worked with my newborn, allowing him to settle in to positions for the best pictures. She used natural lighting to the best advantage and creatively captured our precious moments together. Absolutely loved our newborn session with her!”

“I am so glad I had the pleasure of working with Merry! She is top notch, really loves what she does, and is an amazingly sweet woman to boot! She and I immediately connected and it made a huge difference in our photos! I was so relaxed and comfortable! My husband and I had a truly special session. Loved her so much, she took photos of my siblings and I for a Mothers Day gift!! I would definitely not go to any other photographer!! She is stuck with me❤”

“We’ve used Merry several times. She’s kind, quick, excellent with all kinds of family members ;) and most importantly, an incredibly TALENTED photographer. She’s able to capture special moments and important detail. Her photos look like they can be found in a magazine and are captivating. So thankful for the memories she’s been able to save for me for years to come. ”

“Merry is professional, kind, flexible, and incredibly talented. She focused on capturing my family in a simple and beautiful light. She came to us and is understanding and great with my newborn! I’d recommend her to anyone.”

“All I can say is wow! The value she shows her clients is 1 in a million. She does excellent work and kept my two kids attention. I recommend this business for all of your photography needs.”
