Megan's creativity and talent truly shine through in every shot

Megan is so much more than a photographer. She is a storyteller.

My husband and I are not traditional and had a murder mystery wedding. Megan captured every detail perfectly, including details that I did not even consider until I saw her photos.

I am terrible at standing still and appear awkward in photographs; however, she provided excellent direction and maneuvered like a ninja to capture the most breathtaking images.

This was the best day of my life, and I am so grateful that I have the most beautiful photos to remember it by.

The turnaround time was fast, too. Megan exceeded all of my sky-high expectations, and I cannot recommend working with her highly enough.

What a gem!

Megan Clouse is truly a gem. I fell in love with her photography style the moment I saw it. She helped me plan my entire timeline for our beach elopement. Anytime I emailed her a question I had a response shortly there after. Megan showed up early the day of our elopement and photographed scenery and little details of the day. The pictures are stunning, and we had them back within 6 days of our big day. She is such a kind soul and makes you feel very comfortable. I hate having my picture taken, but I feel differently after looking at her photos!

Book Megan now!

We loved Megan, and were so lucky to have her a part of our day. Since we eloped last year, we planned a destination celebration and vow renewal with a few family members and close friends. It was at a remote beach in Maine, and the weather was sporty that day, in true Maine fashion. Megan was wonderful, flexible, and just felt like part of the family. Everyone loved her and she captured the day, the guests, and the setting so beautifully.

And the turnaround was faster than you can imagine. She sent sneak peek photos the next day! And the full gallery the following day. Wow. The photos are amazing, and it was fun to see some extra touches she put in. She had arrived early to the area and taken some shots of the surrounding area which will be so lovely to remember the full experience.

Thank you, Megan!! xoxo

Excellent wedding photographer!!

Megan was very helpful & responsive from our first communication, which was important considering we were planning a California elopement all the way from Ohio. Once the big day arrived, she was very calm throughout and started taking pictures of the small things I never would have remembered. We purchased an elopement package but she was kind enough to drive us off-site to a beautiful back road. The photographs are absolutely stunning; I couldn't be happier and would not want anyone else capturing our most special day except for Megan Clouse!!

Megan is truly Best in Class!

Megan is truly best in class. When I was first looking into a photographer for our wedding day, it seemed a little overwhelming with all of the options & the 'types' of photo-aesthetics there were.

Once I discovered Megan's style and spoke with her on the phone, I knew that I had found our gal. She is extremely patient, organized & creative. She was a joy to be around the entire day, and did a fabulous job at ensuring she got those 'must have' photos her and I discussed about during a call leading up to the wedding.

Megan & her team did an outstanding job at not only capturing all of the big moments on our special day, but also so many little moments that we truly treasure when looking at our photos.

The smiles on our faces when we look at our photos are huge and we just can't thank Megan enough for being there to capture our wedding day!

We had a tiny wedding with just 13 people on a Thursday in Sonoma. We knew we had to find the right photographer to accommodate this and blend in with the intimate setting. So happy we were referred to Megan! Not only is she sweet and unassuming but her work is outstanding! We loved every picture and even though we only hired her for 4 hours, she perfectly documented our special day. When I shared the photos with my sister she said she expected the photographer to make the bride look good, but she could not believe how amazing every picture was of each of our guests, even ones who say they are never photogenic! I would recommend Megan to anyone looking for more than just a photographer but also someone you can make a special connection with as they capture your most intimate and memorable moments.

Megan is a wonderful wedding photographer. The photos from our wedding are absolutely gorgeous. She somehow seemed to capture every single moment, including a moment where my grandparents were secretly dancing with each other outside the reception space in a dark corner. She was able to capture the authentic, genuine moments of our wedding and that was exactly what I was wanting from a wedding photographer. The turn around time on the photos was a little unreal-- she got everything back to me within three weeks, in addition to sending me multiple little sneak peeks in the days following our wedding. Of all my friends and family that have gotten married, no one has ever had a photographer who was able to provide such beautiful photos in such a short time.

So yes, the photographs were amazing, but more importantly I would recommend Megan for who she is as a person. She was a calm, guiding force on our wedding day, providing answers to the little things I was unsure about like the best way to hold my bouquet, etc. She is extremely organized, professional, and detail-oriented. She was able to step up when other people dropped the ball, and foresee and solve problems before they occurred-- something which I would have NEVER expected a photographer to do, but I greatly appreciated when she did. For example, the wedding coordinator at the resort where I had my wedding had not planned a way to get me from my bungalow to the ceremony space which wasn't walking distance. Megan saw that this detail was overlooked while I was getting ready, called the front desk and arranged a golf cart for me, and it wasn't even an issue for me that day. It was only afterward I realized she had taken the initiative to smooth out what could have been a stressful hiccup. Megan has almost 20 years of experience shooting weddings, and it shows; she made it look effortless, but I know it couldn't have been!

Megan was the sweetest and easiest photographer to work with. We came to Sonoma for an elopement and it was just my husband and I. She was very accommodating and even helped me get into my wedding dress!! Her work is amazing and she is truly a talented and passionate photographer. We cannot thank her or Farmhouse Inn (for suggesting her) enough. The pictures are beautiful and so is she. Thank you for being a genuinely kind person and super talented photographer. 10/10 would recommend.

I don't even know where to begin! I feel like your wedding photographs are the soul of your wedding. A good photographer either captures all the emotion and nuanced details or you just get basic photos that are a step above stock photography. As such, I scoured and scoured the options, feeling somewhat disappointed in what I found. Finally, a friend recommended Megan (she had secured her for her daughter's wedding), and when I saw her site, I just knew instantly Megan was exactly who we were looking for. Her aesthetic captured what we wanted but then when I started communicating with her, I realized she was a unicorn! Her warmth, knowledge, professionalism and genuine desire to "get it perfect" blew me away. She went above and beyond to find out what we wanted to deliver for us. No detail was left unturned. She was so easy to work with, so flexible and accommodating, but made sure everything was in place to ensure a successful execution. And oh my, what an execution! I am almost brought to tears thinking about all the amazing moments she captured. My husband and I have looked at those photos a hundred times by now and we always say, "Man, Megan did such an amazing job!" She is truly gifted in her craft but the person behind the art is a true gem.

My husband and I could not be happier with Megan! Her photography style was just what we wanted, and our photographs are so beautiful. We really appreciated that Megan made the time to come to our rehearsal to meet our parents, wedding party, and scope the venue around. She also took fun pictures during the rehearsal that are so meaningful to us! Megan is so personable and made us feel so comfortable. Megan was responsive to my questions throughout the planning process, and we received our full digital album faster than we could have imagined (so, so impressed at the turnaround time!). We have no regrets about hiring Megan- everyone is right when they say invest in a great photographer-- it's true, the pictures last and bring back memories of that oh-so-perfect day. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Megan! We look forward to having your capture more memories for us in the future! Love, Tanya and Shawn Cox
