Megan is a delight!

Megan was a delight to work with as my wedding photographer. It rained the day of, but she came prepared with clear umbrellas and a positive attitude. She got all our best angles despite the gray, drizzly day. She took a nice variety of pictures of the guests, decor, and special moments. She's an excellent photographer and editor, she's patient, and she's kind. What more could you ask for?! Thank you for capturing our wedding day!

Book Megan!!

We found Megan through a Google search, and I was immediately impressed by her detailed writing about shooting at the DC War Memorial and surrounding memorials and her thoughtful blog — she came across as both down-to-earth and professional. Our phone chat and email communications furthered my confidence in choosing Megan as our photographer!

We had a small, intimate wedding at the DC War Memorial, and she did an incredible job capturing it (plus some more at the Tidal Basin). She worked through my list of must-have shots and also helped us get some beautiful, spontaneous photos I didn’t even know I wanted — especially of our kids and family moments together.

She was wonderful with the kids (and the adults, too!), patient and kind, and made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. She handled family requests gracefully and checked in with me throughout. I especially appreciated her expertise when I was unsure exactly what I wanted, and she proposed options with clear pros/cons to help me think through it and decide confidently on the spot.

Her edits were timely and beautiful, and she was flexible and went above and beyond to my requests after receiving the pictures. Overall, the experience felt like such an incredible value — professional, easy, and so well-suited for our two-hour celebration. I’m grateful to her for how everything turned out and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a talented, kind, and reliable photographer.

Thank you, Megan, for capturing our special day so beautifully!!

Gorgeous photos

We are so happy we chose Megan for both our engagement and wedding photography! She was the first vendor we hired for our wedding. I first found her through her blog posts, which were so helpful in planning our Old Town Alexandria engagement session. We brought along our very senior dog, and Megan was wonderful with him. She was great at working with his senior quirks.
For our wedding at the Spy Museum, Megan captured incredible photos both outside on the rooftop and inside the glass enclosure. She blended in so seamlessly that it felt like she was just another guest at our wedding. We never felt stiff or overly posed. She made us so comfortable that we hardly noticed the camera, and the result was bright, joyful, candid photos.
Megan is everything you’d want in a wedding photographer – we can’t recommend her enough!

My wedding shot

Meagan was great! Recommended beautiful location for the shot, and came prepared to get my frenchies attention for the photos. My album was ready in a very timely manner. I will use her again for future projects.
I highly recommend her services!!

Wonderful Experience Start to Finish!

We are so thrilled that we chose Megan to capture our special day! From start to finish, she was warm, professional, creative, and responsive. She went above and beyond, helping us adjust our timeline and offering tips about wedding planning in general. Megan and her second shooter were a joy to work with and her work is beautiful, it captured our essence and the day perfectly! We would 100% recommend her to any couple!

Couldn’t recommend anyone more!

My wife and I worked with Megan when we eloped at the national cathedral and could not recommend her more! I stumbled across Megan when searching for a queer friendly photographer in the DMV and fell in love with her style. As neither of us had worked with a professional photographer before we had no idea what we were doing but Megan was so helpful and kind throughout the entire process.
Not only did Megan suggest and help us choose a perfect venue, shee walked us through what permits we would need and even checked the weather ahead of time to work with us on making a decision if we needed to reschedule. When we decided to stick with our original date despite the potential for rain, Megan worked with us on the day of as the forecast shifted and even changed her schedule to arrive early so we would have plenty of time to shoot in case it started raining (and she even brought us hand warmers for the cold and adorable umbrellas in case we did have to shoot in the rain!).
She was so wonderful to work with and captured the perfect mix of candids, as well as helping to guide us in posed shots. The sneak peek gallery we received a week after our elopement was so incredibly lovely, and it was amazing to have a handful of photos back so soon while she worked on the rest of the gallery! The entire time she was so kind, helpful, and personable, and we simply cannot recommend her services enough if you have an elopement, wedding, engagement, or any other moment you want captured by someone who is truly so incredibly talented, caring, and thoughtful with their work!

Communicative and Professional

We cannot recommend Megan enough! She was so communicative, thoughtful, kind, collaborative, and professional! Every part of the process was better than we could have imagined. She made us feel so comfortable and she managed everything so well. Our sneak peeks were ready so quickly and our final photos were stunning and perfect. Thank you, Megan!!

Love our wedding photos!

Megan did such a great job on both our engagement and wedding photos. We are very happy with how they turned out and have gotten so many compliments! It was such a relief to have a seasoned professional direct us, suggest poses, and help create the wedding day picture timeline. Megan was very easy to work with and responsive to all of our questions. Megan had also shot at our venue several times before which was so helpful since she already knew her way around and could suggest different spots.

Aside from being a fellow ginger equipped with sunscreen for a summer wedding :) Megan was a JOY to work with. From our first conversation Incould already tell we were on the same wavelength. Seeing her in action was a pleasure as well, she made the couple and their guests feel comfortable in front of the lens and the incredible pics she took are a testament to that. I will absolutely recommend her to my couples and can’t wait for us to work together in the future. :-)
