presence now, nostalgia later.

If you’re here you are likely marrying your best friend in the near future and I’m so incredibly happy for you! i Know that Wedding planning can be a lot and you may be feeling overwhelmed by all of the advice and tips out there. So I’ll keep it simple and share just one piece of insight: Soak up every single ounce of love and joy to be found in the present moment. Your day will go so fast, so take in every last second.

Hug your people tightly. eat and enjoy the food you picked. dance your hearts out. chaotically cut your cake. embrace the weather. take your time. laugh until you can’t breathe. cry happy tears. Give each other letters, or share a private moment. feel all of your feelings. 

I promise you the wedding photos that stand the test of time are the ones where you’re fully present in the moment and with each other. So i’ll come ready with my camera and be sure to capture all of it, so you can look back with nostalgic hearts for all the years to come.

Philosophy & Style

documentary Wedding Photography MEETS NATURAL EDITORIAL.

I fully believe that the best wedding photographs are the images that capture real emotion and honest moments. As a documentary wedding photographer, I focus heavily on candid imagery that encapsulates the emotion of the day while mixing in natural and lightly posed portraits. I’ll gladly offer insight through the planning process to help make the process easier for you, but when it comes to the day itself, I try to hold off from doing much directing because at the end of the day, a wedding is a celebration, not a photo shoot.

There is so much beauty in the perfect imperfections of candids. The real and honest moments that, when photographed, will become emotional artifacts to your wedding day. The photos that will really, really mean something to you all those years later.

Megan was nothing short of incredible. Her style was exactly what we were looking for, but beyond that is her professionalism, ability to make you feel comfortable and make every moment fun. She asked all of the right questions to ensure our engagement photos and wedding photos were exactly what we wanted. She captured our wedding day beautifully, and there was a never a moment that felt intrusive or unnatural. Megan truly captures the best parts of your relationship. I'm so grateful to have found Megan and to have stunning photos to remember our wedding day forever. Thank you Megan! Audrey & Luke

Megan is the absolute best. My husband and I feel very lucky to have come across Megan's work online; upon our first meeting, we felt that we really connected with Megan and felt that she'd be able to capture the essence and emotions of our wedding day in a beautiful way.

Megan was communicative and professional throughout wedding planning, and not to mention just so fun to work with! Absolutely book Megan for all of your photography needs!!! Yeon & Aaron

I can’t express enough how happy we were with Megan! She took the time to know us as a couple. She had zoomed meetings with us and asked important questions so that on our wedding day she knew exactly what to do. She was professional and worked well with the bridal party and family/friends. She was present and allowed us to enjoy our entire wedding. We would recommend her to anyone! Her photos are breathtaking ! Francesca & Justin

I found Megan on Instagram and never looked back. Our wedding had 12 people total including myself and my now husband, so we needed someone who would not only do an excellent job but could vibe with our families. Megan immediately became a friend and not only do I love her as a person, but her work is phenomenal and everything I could have hoped for. We have digital, film, and Polaroid wedding photos which are so unique and the excitement of flipping through the Polaroids with my new husband at the end of our wedding day was amazing. Megan was flexible, very affordable, and so kind. It is obvious when someone is deeply passionate about their profession, and Megan proves that over and over again. I love her and in five or so years when I have a baby I will be paying to fly her to our new state for photos — that’s how good she is. You won’t regret booking her, you’ll have photos you can cherish forever, and you might make a friend for life. - Evangeline & Josh
