Meg Reilley is a freelance photographer from south Louisiana now based in Asheville, NC. The main stay of her work is conceptual, heirloom portraits of children, couples and families.

Meg's work is so amazing - creative and beautiful. I have had so many people tell me they are the best wedding pictures they've seen. My husband, whom is a photographer, loves our photos. Working with Meg as a person was a wonderful experience as well. She is professional, fun, and captured what we expressed we wanted in our wedding photographs. My only regret was not hiring her for longer into the night. Everyone told me that the photographs are the most important aspect when planning a wedding - 4 months later we don't have any cake, or music, or flowers - but we have our photographs to remember our awesome day.

Meg Reilley is, hands down, one of the most exceptionally talented photographers that I've ever met. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and more quality photographs of our wedding weekend. We knew from the very first meeting with Meg that we were in good hands--her level of preparation, her organized approach to things, and her dedication to get the job done and to get it done right were all very clear from the start. My husband having a background and some experience with photography himself made it very important for us to choose a top-notch photographer for our wedding. We feel like we couldn't have made a better choice. Some comments from friends and family after viewing our pictures have been: "You rarely see such a creative photographer," "Meg had a way of really capturing the essence of your entire wedding," and "Viewing your wedding pictures made me want to redo my entire wedding photographs." I will tell you this---there are very few physical things that a bride and groom carry away with them from their wedding besides each other and the photographs that are taken. We will cherish the pictures Meg Reilley took of our wedding for a lifetime. They will be treasured family heirlooms that will be passed from generation to generation, and we couldn't be happier with them!

Meg (and Boo) were amazing and I would highly recommend them to anyone for their wedding. Her work, which we knew was great - that's why we hired her - was even more stunning when we saw OUR wedding. Meg was very good at organizing the day, making sure we had ALL of the shots we requested, all the important moments, and those candid shots of everything we did not see. I can not say enough good things about her! Her work even makes emotional (the groom) every time I look through each of the 100's of photos from that day - every one amazing! Thanks again!

Meg was an absolute joy to work with. She cracked me up the whole time, which was great cause I was pretty stressed out about the whole thing. I felt extremely comfortable around her and it honestly was just really fun to have her there.

I can not say enough about how much I love my wedding photos. As an art director, I worked with commercial photographers regularly. Meg's professional reputation precedes her. I would not nail down my wedding date until I knew she was available. Her non traditional style truly captured my wedding day so perfectly.

I loved everything about our experience with Meg Reilley photography. She was easy going but assertuve when necessary. She has a very special eye for interesting and original shots. She brought our wedding day to life in her pictures, making them seem more realistice like they were telling a story. She connected with us on a personal level and in doing so made us feel relaxed, like we were working with a friend. I would definately recommend her services to others and would use her again for other photography needs.

Many photographers offer a complementary bridal or engagement session when a bride hires them for their wedding. If I were to change anything, I would have liked this service.

Thanks again
