Highly Recommend

We used Meghan for our engagement and wedding photos after a friend recommended her highly. She quickly learned our personalities and captured that perfectly in our photos. I've always felt awkward in most photos but she had fun ideas and was able to direct us in a way were we have countless photos I adore and can't wait to have hanging in our home. Not only did she do an amazing job as a photographer, but she was down to earth, fun, kind, and just a great human to have around you on your wedding day. She was kept everything stress free which huge to me. She went above and beyond communicating with our other vendors and making sure everything went smoothly. My wedding party loved her and I highly recommend her as well.

The best.... ever.

Meghan was absolutely incredible. She made taking photos so much fun, and our entire bridal party loved her as much as we did. She made sure everyone was comfortable and that we got all of the shots we wanted. She was patient, made sure every detail was perfect, and made all of us laugh throughout the entire day. Our photos came out beautifully, and we are so excited to use her in the future.

Amazing Person and Photographer

We loved working with Meghan. Her photos turned out amazing for both the engagement and the wedding!

We have so many wonderful things to say aboyt her work. The sneak peak came back fast. She took so many photos capturing every moment, including a lot of photos that took an elevated level of skill and experience.

She was very kind and understanding with our schedules when scheduling times to meet and to do our engagement shoot. Meg was also very understanding when we made a couple last minute changes to the time line before the wedding.

She went above and beyond to make sure our day was perfect, not just for the photos, but also to make sure we had great wedding in general. She helped make a time line for the day, and gave helpful suggestions and advice when we needed it. We are very blessed to have had her be our photographer, and would recommend her many times over.

Stunning photos from a wonderful photographer!

Meghan was absolutely wonderful to work with for our wedding! I initially chose Meghan because she had thoughtful answers to my questions when we had our first call and she showcased people with a variety of body-types and styles in her portfolios. We had our engagement photos in October of 2022, our wedding in October of 2023, and I did one additional shoot with Meghan in-between those. She was excellent with all of them. I appreciate that she truly was our biggest hype-girl - she told us what was looking good, helped to pose us, and made everyone feel comfortable in front of her camera. She was great with our young family members and with wrangling everyone for all family photos. Along with the posed photos, she did a wonderful job capturing candid photos that I now get to keep as memories forever. My biggest compliment though is that she helped calm my nerves when I had to email her at 10pm the night before our wedding day to move our ceremony from outdoors to inside due to weather which changed our schedule around. She acted like it was no big deal, helped make sure the new schedule would give us enough time, and was flexible with us to ensure our vision was still captured. We ended up taking photos at three different locations that day, including at our newly built home which was so personal and special to us. I loved how willing she was to roll with it, but also made sure we still got what we wanted. It felt like having a good friend with us the whole day. She got us our sneak peek within a day and all other photos were delivered in a reasonable timeframe. The photos are absolutely beautiful and everything we had asked to be captured was - and more! It is impossible to pick favorites because they all turned out so well. I would not hesitate to recommend Meghan to anyone.

Wonderful, easy going, high quality wedding photographer!

I met Meghan at a wedding show and she was so easy to talk to and she had smaller packages that fit our wedding needs. She was very flexible with us and so helpful throughout the entire process. On our wedding day, she made everything easy and did a great job helping us pose and feel natural. Her calm demeanor was awesome and made the time before our wedding, taking all the pictures, so fun and easy.

We chose her 6 hour wedding option, then chose to add 1 extra hour to be safe. She accepts venmo, so paying was easy too.

She provided an incredible sneak peek the day after our wedding and every single photo she shared was incredible!! They literally brought me to tears!! We cannot wait to see the rest!!
