There is a real difference between a professional wedding photographer, and having a friend or relative do it for you. Weddings are filled with timeless memories, It’s only fitting that one of the most important days in a couple’s life should be preserved with imagery that will always be emotionally and visually meaningful. Most photographers lead you through a series of portraits and photo-ops they create and pose. Shawn Mertz Photography does not direct your day. Instead by observing, and anticipating, letting things happen naturally, your photos will tell the real story of your day. A photo showing real feeling and love has much more impact, and will stand the test of time better than a perfectly posed staged image. Years of experience in photojournalism, working for a Pittsburgh area newspaper group has prepared Shawn to handle your event. Portraits and family photos are also an important part of wedding photography and are given time and attention, but are not the primary mission for Shawn.
