Photographs are a way to reflect on one of the most important days you’ll ever experience. They share the story of your life with those you love and serve as heirlooms for future generations.

My goal is to capture what it truly felt like to experience your day through a mix of candid, documentary, and editorial photography.

I specializes in small weddings and elopements for couples who appreciate an intimate guest count, elevated design details, natural elements, and intentional connection to create a memorable experience.

TESTIMONIALS

CLIENT

Megan made the whole experience so easy, comfortable and enjoyable from the moment we met her to receiving the amazing photos at the end. Not only are we in love with the photos of our special day, but Megan is a gem. She is professional but also friendly, sweet, and so dang thoughtful. The day of our wedding, having Megan felt like having another girlfriend of mine by my side guiding us while capturing our moments. I love the romantic and natural feel of Megan’s work and how she captured our goofy magic so perfectly.

-Jenny and Gabe
Megan truly is a top level photographer. We could not be happier with our photos she took of our micro wedding/elopement. She went above and beyond by scouting the area of our elopement days before. She also kept in good communication with us on our needs and wants for the day. Megan produced hundreds of timeless, classy, bright yet unfiltered photos. Exactly the style we were looking for and she will now be our go to photographer.

-Charlene and James
Megan is absolutely amazing to work with. Both of us are normally very awkward in front of the camera, and Megan has the ability to make you feel so comfortable and at ease. This is really reflected in her photos too, and we both felt like she was able to capture our real selves. Her ability to capture genuine and authentic moments is unmatched. I would definitely reach out to Megan again in the future!

-Rachel and Luke
Megan was so excellent to work with, from the initial call to the engagement shoot and wedding day... she did not disappoint. She was very prompt with her communication, arrival times, and managing many humans. Megan is very down-to-earth and flexible. The morning of my wedding she even helped me with how to put on my make-up!!! Megan was kind, funny, and helpful with how to pose my husband and me. Our photos turned out AMAZING.

Just as your love is unique, no two weddings are the same.

After submitting an inquiry we can chat more concretely about costs, as well as additional options to enhance your experience, during an introductory consultation. We might need more hours of coverage to capture everything you envision, or you might choose to include an adventure photography session after the wedding, all-weekend coverage, more film, or other upgrades that would impact the total collection cost. Whatever you’re dreaming up, we’ll make it happen!
