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.

Can't Recommend Megan Enough!

We can't truly recommend Megan Kerns Photography enough! She is a calming presence that you want beside you on your wedding day. She is professional, responsive, detail oriented and her photography is stunning! She photographed our engagement, bridal portraits and wedding. She made each of the sessions fun, relaxing and enjoyable! I have a large (and loud!) extended family and she managed them all with professionalism and ease for family photos! You will love hiring Megan as your photographer!

Best Photographer Around!

Megan was an absolutely fantastic photographer for our wedding in May! Not only did the pictures come out amazing, but she also incorporated different shooting styles into our day to give us a perspective through a different lens. She was fun, high energy, and really listened to what we wanted in order to make our day exactly how we envisioned!

Perfect, Perfect, Perfect!

Megan was so wonderful to work with. From the very start, Megan’s demeanor helped keep nerves at bay and helped me and my husband feel like ourselves so that she could capture our truest selves in her images. You spend A LOT of time with your wedding photographer so we were so happy that Megan was a pleasure to work with. She never awkwardly posed us or forced us in shots that felt unnatural. Instead, she encouraged us to be ourselves and highlighted moments that were already happening. Our images perfectly capture every moment throughout the day and the way it felt on the day. We are so pleased. If you’re thinking of booking Megan, do not hesitate!

Captured Our Day Perfectly!

We had Megan capture our spring wedding last year and we could not be happier with the outcome. She was extremely responsive and detailed oriented prior to the even and made sure I had all my questions answered. Day of, Megan was prompt and a breeze to work with! She was no-nonsense with family and bridal party shoots and kept the day moving swiftly. She was also intuitive as to if we found ourselves moving to a different spots for photos. We find ourselves time and time going through her album to relive the day. I can't thank Megan enough for everything!

Professional, Kind, and Easy to Work With

Megan was truly the perfect fit for us as a wedding photographer. Planning a wedding from abroad came with a lot of moving parts, but Megan made everything so much easier with her incredible organization and responsiveness. She was always quick to answer our questions, kept us updated on every detail, and made us feel completely at ease throughout the process.

On the day of the wedding—despite the sweltering North Carolina heat—she was wonderfully kind, patient, and managed to get absolutely beautiful shots while keeping everyone calm and comfortable. She captured every moment, big and small, and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. We are so grateful for her professionalism, warmth, and talent. Hire her—you won’t regret it!

The best!!

Megan was the perfect fit for our wedding photographer. She is so sweet and makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera. Throughout the planning process, Megan was very responsive and quick to answer any questions. She’s thorough, organized, and keeps you looped in on the timeline (I.e. editing timeline, when to expect gallery delivery). I can’t say enough wonderful things about her! She captured all of the moments on our wedding day—big and small. Hire her!

Megan is Fantastic!

Not only is Megan professional and talented, she also makes being with her for your big day very enjoyable! It was fun to work with her and made the process fly by! We were blown away by how creative and fun our pictures were when we got them back. The guests were well captured as well, which was a very nice surprise. I would highly recommend hiring Megan!

Megan is amazing

I got married in Raleigh NC April 2023. I spoke with 6 different photographers and Megan stood out to me the most. My husband and I decided to move forward with her after speaking with her over the phone and seeing her portfolio. Through the planning process, her attention to detail, kindness, and professionalism was unmatched. The day of our wedding she was amazing to work with. It was raining on and off all day and not only did she take beautiful photos, she also helped the day flow seamlessly. Our pictures are absolutely perfect. I cannot recommend her enough!!

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!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
