You are in very safe hands with Merv so go for it!

I decided to book a shoot with Mervyn to celebrate myself for my birthday. Having seen the portfolios of a few boudoir-style photographers, I immediately loved Mervyn’s work due to its softness and his non-generic approach. I followed him on Instagram and was further encouraged by his desire to curate shoots/experiences for all kinds of women and his commitment to centring his clients’ needs in his work. So from there, booking with Merv was a no-brainer for me!

Arranging the shoot was very easy. I started by filling out the ‘shoot finder’ which allowed me to communicate my vision and expectations for the shoot. I then had a call with Mervyn which felt just like talking to an old friend! I was made to feel very at ease - it was like Mervyn had pre-empted any questions or anxieties I might have had. We had an in-depth talk about what I was aiming for and it felt very much like a team working together towards my specific vision - how exciting!

My shoot was in a hotel room and Mervyn was happy to reconstruct the room in a creative way get the best shot! I felt really comfortable on the day thanks to Mervyn, and he really knew his stuff with regard to the flow of the shoot and how to put me at ease. It wasn’t an issue whatsoever that Mervyn is a man, he puts you at ease throughout and has a great understanding of what women feel like on the day.

2 weeks later I received my shots which I was very happy with. They captured the day perfectly and have definitely been a worthy investment

If I’m thinking about a shoot again in the future I would definitely contact Merv again, and would encourage you to do the same!
