Meg Runion Studios

About

I am Meg Runion Perdue, an artist, photographer, and wife located in Charlotesville, Virginia. My life has always been filled with art, photography, gardening, and craft projects for as long as I can remember. My photography inspiration first came from my father; as a child I remember sneaking into the cabinet that held old 35mm slides my father took while in the Navy between 1965-1969. I immediately became fascinated with the people within the photos and began to imagine and dream of the stories behind these people and places; precious snapshots in time. lt was then I first understood the power and importance of a photograph.

My love continued to grow in high school where I was introduced to the darkroom. I would spend hours in the darkroom watching stories appear on the developing paper before my eyes.

After high school I went on to receive my BS in biology from James Madison University and was given the opportunity for some amazing travel and experiences in the biology field working for the Forest Service and US Fish and Wildlife Service throughout the US. While I loved working in the field I kept coming back to photography, art, and any diy project I could get in to and quickly realized it was my true passion in life. I returned to Charlottesville in 2004 and began my career as an artist; I have since photographed countless weddings, families, and portraits throughout the US and abroad.

    Meg was so amazing to work with! She was fun, flexible, and professional. Her vision is so fantastic and she is willing to do anything to get a great shot. We are anxiously awaiting our final photos, but her work with the engagement photos was absolutely stunning. On the day of the wedding she made sure to get every photo we wanted and handled my disorganization like a champ. Her assistant Brandon was equally great - my husband raved about him. They are both the kind of people you walk away from wishing they were your friend! Do yourself a favor and hire Meg for any event you want to remember forever!

    Meg was awesome and totally worth every penny! If you weren't looking for her at the ceremony, you wouldn't have known she was there. She was so professional and helpful throughout the entire planning process and during the wedding. She never once stopped shooting during the eight hours that she was on site. Her pictures are so full of light and are just gorgeous. If I did it all again, I'd definitely keep her on my vendor team.

    Meg was absolutely incredible. We loved having her as our wedding photographer. Directly after our first meeting I knew that I would definitely want to book her for our event. She is sweet, kind, and extremely helpful through the stress of wedding planning! I know that their were multiple occasions when she would calm me down or help me with something extra. I would recommend her to anyone.

    Thank you Meg for your attentiveness and beautiful pictures!

    Meg was the perfect choice for our wedding. After debating between a number of photographers, trying to understand pricing, etc....once I met Meg in person, I knew she was "the one". From our fun engagement shoot at our home, to our actual wedding....Meg was a "partner" with us, and we felt very confident in her abilities to capture our special day. She has an incredible eye, and is truly a pleasure to work with.

    Meg was amazing to work with! I live in a different city several hours away and she came to me to do our engagement photo shoot. She is so kind and easy going. I don't feel like she missed a single shot. I would highly recommend her!

    Meg is one of the most sweet and talented people I have ever had the joy of meeting. The quality of her work and the pride she takes in it is so obviously and heart-warningly apparent. My now husband and I were nervous about finding the right photographer to suit our needs (we didn't want a lot of posed shots, we wanted candid ones that really captured our feelings during our engagement and on our wedding day), and Meg was the perfect person from the get-go. During our engagement photos she helped us both to relax and just enjoy the experience. She was always nearby, ready to capture the perfect shot, but also let us feel like we were somehow alone during the process. On our wedding day she was an absolute miracle worker. We had a timeline that we had put together before hand that was thrown out the window when we ended up running over an hour behind. She somehow managed to get all the photos we had down on our timeline and give us a 30 minute break before the ceremony started. She is flexible, fun, talented and just a complete joy to work with.
