About

Hi there. I’m Megan.

As a North Carolina native, I'm proud to call the Triangle my home. My free time usually consists of quality time with friends, enjoying a glass of rosé, walking our dog, or indulging in delicious southern food. I'm also quite passionate about history – from museums to monuments, learning about what came before us is something that brings me joy. That passion effortlessly carries into my current goal: to get to know your story!

My photography journey started in high school at Durham School of the Arts. I have always been fascinated by the power of images and their ability to capture the beauty of the world. I love exploring new places with my camera and capturing moments that tell stories. My goal is to create timeless images that evoke emotion, inspire people, and honor legacies. Whether it's shooting portraits, landscapes, or events, I strive to create unique images that stay with you forever.

    Amazing authentic photos!

    Megan was amazing to work with! We learned of her from our awesome wedding planner, but also read reviews about her work and felt she would be a great fit for us. Megan captured our wedding in an intimate and authentic way. You can see the joy and fun that was had, as well as the beauty of the entire day. We chose the Engagement Photo Shoot in her package and that was so much fun to do! It allowed us to get to know her before our wedding and see how she worked. We brought our 7-year old son with us to the shoot and she incorporated him in some of the photos as well. She made us feel so comfortable, it was like she was part of the family, and was so easy and pleasant to work with. We elected to do our engagement photos at UNC and then our wedding was at The Bradford. She captured beautiful shots of us, our ceremony, our guests, the venue and more! As we continue to look at our photos, it brings the day back to life for us. Her down to earth and warm, sincere personality made you feel like you were her only client. We highly recommend Megan! You won't be disappointed!

    Exceptional Photographer

    I met Megan in college and then followed her work after she started her photography business. I knew that whenever I got married, I wanted her as our photographer. Why? Personality and talent! She is phenomenally sweet, fun, and professional to work with. I was a blur of excitement on my wedding day, so Megan was essential in helping us stay on track and getting all the pictures done before the ceremony. Then, her work is just gorgeous. Like, chef’s kiss gorgeous. I loved getting the best of both worlds with film and digital. Even better though, Megan has a way of capturing emotions that you can feel when you look at the photos. She can produce the perfect naturally posed picture and then the next one is a candid goodie of raw joy. Boy am I glad I trusted my gut! I’m forever grateful to Megan for these memories that are forever captured to look back on!

    Everything you’re looking for in a photog!

    Megan was absolutely amazing, I couldn’t be any more grateful we found her for our big day! From the engagement shoot I felt like I had someone who cared about us, our preferences, feelings and the best quality pictures(while trying to help us not freeze to death) to the wedding day where she not only captured some of the most cherished pictures I’ll ever have but she also helped keep me calm when things got off schedule and even helped me get into my wedding dress because we were all behind 😜

    Forever grateful for her, her amazing work, her attitude and the pictures we’ll cherish for a lifetime!

    Megan is incredible!

    We are so thankful to have had Megan as our wedding photographer! Leading up to our big day, she was always organized, thorough in her planning and prompt in her email responses. During our wedding day, she was calm but stayed on track with a purpose. Her personality made it so easy for my husband and I to mesh with her. She made sure we got the shots that we wanted with family and made beautiful creative pictures of her own. The editing came out beautiful, both film and digital pictures, and we received our photos at the time we were promised them. Highly recommend Megan Kerns Photography for your wedding photographer - we are truly so thankful to have had her!!

    Megan is the best!

    Megan was absolutely perfect in every way. As someone who isn't very comfortable in front of a camera I was VERY nervous, but Megan made me feel SO comfortable during our engagement session and the pictures turned out amazing. By the time our wedding day came around I felt like a pro! She's very organized, communicative and her photos are stunning. With all of the stress that comes with wedding planning, it was such a relief to have a photographer who we could rely on! She's a PRO!

    Book Megan!

    My husband and I were THRILLED to book Megan and her team to photograph our wedding. Every picture was literal perfection. She knows light extremely well and used a device to make sure the lighting was perfect for every shot! She was super easy to work with and extremely professional. She was very responsive during the pre-wedding planning period and answered all our questions which eased some anxiety. Her team was very organized (complete with a fan for the heat!). She thought of everything so I didn’t have to. I would book her 1000 times over.

    Megan is a GEM

    Megan was one of the best decisions we made throughout the entire wedding process! YALL, she is GOOD.

    She was always so easy to talk to, extremely detailed (provided us an in-depth timeline the day of), made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and her pictures are just perfect!!! She captures so much emotion in every single one.

    Our engagement photos turned out phenomenal, there were SO many good ones to choose from!! Fast forward to wedding day, the rain is relentless and there is very limited space for pictures because everyone is crammed inside. Some people panic under pressure, but Megan remained calm and gave the entire wedding party direction to ensure we still got all the pictures we wanted. It was so comforting for me and my husband, our minds were already a million places and she made sure we stayed on track despite the chaos from the weather. PS- the wedding photos turned out absolutely beautiful too!!! She didn't miss one detail! Our families and friends have loved looking through them and are blown away at how many moments she captured.

    Megan went above and beyond for us on throughout the entire process. I would pick her a thousand times over... if you're reading this and debating on working with Megan... this is your sign!!! I promise you will be so happy you did- she's so talented and such a good human being! Thank you for everything, Megan!

    New Puppy Spring Photo Session

    After my husband and I recently adopted our newest pup, we knew it was time for some fresh spring pictures for the whole family! I immediately thought of Megan. We have been following her work for a few years now, and even went to a wedding last year that she shot. Needless to say, we booked her.

    Not only was Megan totally professional throughout the entire process, she was SO MUCH FUN to work with! Having your picture taken isn't always comfortable - knowing where to look or how to stand - but Megan created the exact opposite experience. She laughed with us, played with our dogs, and gently guided us towards capturing the most wonderful family keepsakes.

    Do yourself a favor - stop looking elsewhere and book Megan. If her photos aren't enough to sway you, meet up with her in Durham at one of her favorite local spots to grab a coffee, and I promise your decision won't take long to make.

    Truly the Best!!!!

    Words cannot express how incredible Megan is. From our very first phone call, I knew she had to be a part of our special day. Megan is thoughtful, intentional, and beyond talented as what she does. She has an ability to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera immediately (& that is coming from two people who had never taken professional photos before!). Megan's ability to capture the love you have with your person through photos is seriously breathtaking. When we received our album, we were in tears.

    Not only is Megan's gift of photography a strong enough pull, she is one of the kindest people I have ever met. I had a minor dress malfunction the day of my wedding and Megan quite literally saved the day. She helped me remain calm, and reassured me that she would do everything she could to help. I will never forget that. She is professional, patient, and instantly feels like a friend. I cannot recommend Megan enough.

    Thank you SO much for capturing our wedding day!!!

    LOVE my wedding photos

    Megan is extremely talented at what she does. I am very critical of myself and typically dislike every picture that is taken of me. She somehow created an entire gallery of over 500 photos from my wedding day that I am absolutely IN LOVE with. Her ability to illustrate our love for one another through these photos is breathtaking and we will cherish these photos forever. On top of her extraordinary photography talents, she is also an excellent communicator, personable, and flexible. I had a couple of specific photo requests, and she was super accommodating to all of them. She definitely went above and beyond what was expected of her and is undoubtably gifted. 10/10, 5 stars, 1,000% would recommend.

    Absolutely Amazing Wedding Photographer

    Megan is the best in the business. She is everything you want in a wedding photographer and more. We fell in love with her work and ended up booking her before we got engaged to make extra sure that she would be able to photograph our wedding. She is professional, fun, extremely organized, attentive, patient, communicative, and the best talent out there. She also handles everything when it comes to the timeline, photo list, and communication with vendors. Our families were in complete awe at how many unbelievable photos we have of our wedding day. Megan captured the day so perfectly and we will cherish our photos forever.

    Stop searching, book immediately!

    Megan is everything you want and need as a photographer. She’s attentive, professional (while still being so fun), organized, and incredibly helpful. Not only is she all of those things, but her work is amazing! The film photography she does is GORGEOUS! I wasn’t searching for a film photographer in the beginning but wow, I’m glad I got it. It produces such soft, timeless photos. Megan photographed our elopement and big wedding. All of our family/bridal party raved about Megan and have said how excited they are to get the photos back. Attached are pics from our outdoor elopement and I know our wedding photos are going to be just as amazing!! Stop searching now and book Megan. You will not be disappointed!

    Well-planned schedule and took charge, as needed!

    Megan allowed us to have one less thing to worry about not just for our wedding day, but the entire time leading up to it. She had a detailed schedule from when we first signed our contracts of important milestones/dates. She led the charge on important pictures we had asked for right after the ceremony, which couldn't have gone more smoothly.
