When you work with me, you’re getting more than just pretty photos. You’re also getting a trusted friend, tons of guidance, resources, care, and creativity.

Getting to know you and building your trust is a huge part of my process.

I’m with you for the whole journey from the day you book your wedding to the day you open your wedding album for the 100th time.

Here’s What you can expect.

ComforT

we’ll live in the moment and have a dang good time.

You’re feeling awkward, and that’s OK! My number one priority is to make sure you feel comfortable and have a dang good time. I give you space to open up and feel like yourselves whether we’re adventuring in the woods, getting down on the dance floor, or sharing a cup of coffee during an in-home sesh.

I give simple directions and prompts that help you connect with each other rather than force you into awkward and uncomfortable “poses.” I create a space to be yourselves and be in the moment with each other, so we can capture the real, honest love you share in the time we spend together.

Guidance

Stress-free all the way

I’m not going to tell you exactly what to do or put you in cheesy poses. I’m not going to force you into doing a first look or into doing things in a certain way. This is your day. I’m here to be a friend and guide throughout the process.

I’ve created tons of resources to help you look and feel your best. From timeline planning to location scouting and choosing the perfect outfit for your engagement photos, I help you create the stress-free day of your dreams every step of the way, in whatever way feels like you.

Leading up to your wedding day, I sweat the details so you don’t have to. I’ve spent a lot of time honing my process so that you’ll feel comfortable and confident knowing that we thought through everything together. By the time your big day arrives, you’ll be able to party the night away and focus on the love of your life, knowing that I’ve got your back.

Artful Storytelling

the perfect wedding photo won’t be something we recreate from Pinterest

The perfect wedding photo isn’t something that we’ll recreate from Pinterest. The perfect wedding photo will capture the genuine emotion and magic of your day, and transport you back to that moment.

I love stories. I’m inspired by movies and have applied so much of what I’ve learned about how to tell a good story through my wedding photography. I take a creative photojournalistic approach to set the scene, photographing interactions and candid moments of joy between you and your loved ones, using light and shadows to tell your story. I’m always looking for small details in moments not even realize are happen, like the way your mom is tearing up as you share a dance with your dad.

When you look back on your photos, I want you to remember not just how things looked, but how they felt. I want you to relive those moments forever.

why it matters

I do all of this because I know that connecting with you is essential to be able to tell your story with all of the honesty and emotion it deserves.

That means that photography is a collaboration between you two and me, and I need your help to give you my best work.

It takes trust and care from all of us to create a space for people to feel comfortable being honest and open on such an emotional day.

When we are committed to doing it right, it will feel effortless and natural…

and the photos will show it.

the nitty gritty.

After your wedding, you’ll be left with two things:

 

a lifelong commitment to your favorite person

and

your wedding photos.

 
 

After it’s all over, when everyone has gone home and the cards are all opened and you’ve packed up the your celebration, having something tangible can be really meaningful.

Wedding photographs are a ticket back to those moments, and the feelings that came with them. Choosing a photographer that understands what’s important to you and can save it for you to keep for decades is a big deal.

It’s also a big investment! I want you to be as excited to work with me as I am to work with you.

“Megan made us feel exactly the way we wanted to feel on our wedding day and throughout our wedding planning process: in love, fun, unique, and full of joy. With so many things to worry about during wedding planning and on our wedding day, it was great to know that she had every detail of the photography covered from day-of timeline to specific photos to delivery”

“We trusted Megan with our wedding photos and are SO glad that we did. The entire experience, from meeting with her early on to get advice about the day-of schedule, to follow-ups prior to the big day, to seamless transition and lots of laughs on our wedding day, it was all absolutely perfect. The photos she captured are exactly the right ones and they are so "us". We have loved sharing our wedding photos with family and friends and can't wait to look back on these memories for years to come”
