I'M Merinda Allen
I’m a photographer drawn to the beauty of real connection and refined storytelling. With a quiet sensitivity and an eye for detail, I create visuals that feel as personal as they are timeless. My approach is rooted in artistry, empathy, and intention—because your story deserves more than just documentation.
I work seamlessly with planners and vendor teams to serve couples who value style, meaning, and emotion. From the soft in-between moments to the sweeping, unforgettable scenes, I’m there to preserve it all-discreetly, thoughtfully, and with heart.
Based in St. Louis and Key Largo, I travel wherever your story takes me.

EXPERIENCE
Your love story isn’t ordinary-your wedding film shouldn’t be either.
I partner with couples who are drawn to emotion, elegance, and authenticity. Thoughtful and romantic by nature, they want more than just documentation—they want their story told with intention.
Our journey begins well before the wedding day, as I immerse myself in your vision and values. I collaborate closely with your planner and creative team to ensure every moment unfolds seamlessly. My role is to artfully preserve the details, the atmosphere, and the emotion—so you can fully live them in the moment, and relive them for a lifetime.
