Meet KATHY
Hello and welcome to Kathy DeMerchant Photography!
I have been drawn to photography as long as I can remember, always looking to find beauty in everything and everyone that surrounds me. I love how photography can evoke so many different emotions. I remember how I felt when I saw my own wedding photos – the tears, the smiles and just pure happiness. It may sound cheesy but that’s when I knew that I wanted to become a wedding photographer! Not long after that I was shooting my first wedding and falling in love more with weddings each and every time. It’s incredibly rewarding to capture these special moments in time. I never get tired of seeing the groom watch his bride for the first time or when the bride sees her own beautiful reflection in the mirror after putting on her wedding gown. There are so many times during a wedding when I find myself smiling or tearing up behind the camera. It never gets old!
Whether I am documenting a wedding or a family, I strive to photograph moments that are real, romantic, beautiful and fun. Elegant and timeless moments that will be cherished forever. I aim to establish relationships with everyone I have the privilege to work with, making them feel special and confident and beautiful always :)
When not working, I am usually hanging out with my family ~ husband Rick and our three beautiful kids. In my spare, spare time, I can be found working out, walking our golden retriever, cooking or hanging out with friends and trying new restaurants in Hamilton!

My approach to wedding photography is easygoing, yet documentary and artistic. I like to capture your wedding day as it unfolds, without being intrusive or posing you too much. I want you to feel comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera, and to enjoy every moment with your partner and guests. I also like to create some artistic portraits of you and your partner, using the natural surroundings and light as my canvas. I’ll guide you through some simple poses and movements, while keeping the mood fun and romantic.
My goal is to provide you with images that reflect your unique love story, your personality, and your vision for your wedding day. I want you to look at your photos and feel the same emotions you felt on your wedding day, and to cherish them for a lifetime.
