Before displays, bars, and experiences, there were custom sugar cookies. MERLA's original offering (under Blackbird Baking Co.) was born from a love of thoughtful design and celebration—creating beautifully crafted treats for weddings and meaningful moments alike.
Our beloved cookies established our signature blend of design, craftsmanship, and celebration—an ethos that continues to guide every experience we offer today.

CORE
VALUES
Make it Timeless
We believe your wedding images should never feel dated or disposable. Instead of chasing what’s fashionable today, we focus on elegance and beauty that will look just as refined fifty years from now as it does the moment you receive your gallery.
Luxury is in the Details
The magic is often in the smallest touches: the candlelight glinting on crystal, the silk ribbon on a handwritten vow book, the way sunlight filters through bougainvillea. We capture these details because they tell the truest story of your celebration.
Candid, but Considered
The best images often happen in between, yet they still deserve a discerning eye. We capture candids that are authentic, but never careless—always styled through the lens of elegance.
Beauty is the Memory
When you look back on your images years from now, we want you to remember not just what the day looked like, but how it felt. That emotion—that beauty—is the memory we aim to preserve.
