"Ric is extremely easy to work with. He is professional, thoughtful, and accommodating. He put me at ease during our shoot, and it has been one of my most relaxed and enjoyable shoots to date. I definitely plan on working with Ric again!"

His quality of work is amazing and I was very pleased. I would work with Ric again anytime. He is wonderful at what he does and he is an all out great person!"

"Ric is an adept photographer. He has a great eye for what is visually pleasing and his talent exceeds the credit he is given. When shooting with Ric he made the process very natural and relaxed. All tension was gone once the camera came out and the conversation starting rolling. I look forward to our next photo session!"

"Ric Merry was the photographer at our wedding. He also did a slide show for our reception that was so wonderful it brought tears to my eyes. So many people have complimented on how great the pictures are. He was so thoughtful and patient with all the kids that were there. He definitely exceeded my expectations. They pictures are fabulous. He truly made our wedding day very special."

"A master, in the art of living, draws no sharp distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his education and his recreation.
He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence through whatever he is doing and leaves others to determine if he is working or playing.
To himself he always seems to be doing both."
