Skilled Wedding Photographer

From our engagement photos to the wedding, working with Meghan was an absolute pleasure. She went above and beyond, meeting with us multiple times for hour-long sessions before the big day to help us visualize and plan the timeline. Her photography is truly breathtaking and speaks for itself, but Meghan's role as a professional event photographer goes far beyond the photos she delivers. Her expertise, dedication, and attention to detail made all the difference. Meghan is a top-notch professional, and we will be recommending her to friends and family for years to come!

Book Her - No Regrets

Meghan and her assistant were beyond amazing for our wedding. They captured our true love and emotion through her photos. I could relive our magical day from her photos more than our videographers. Hands down would recommend her to anyone getting married and thinking about booking with Meghan. She makes you feel very comfortable infront of the camera and is very easy to talk to. Always fast at responding and helping formulate the day as well.

Creative, collaborative and professional

From the first consultation to the engagement shoot, wedding photos and beyond, our experiences with Meghan have all been outstanding. She really took the time and energy to connect with us, learn about our stories and bring a sense of collaboration to our experience.

We had some pretty creative ideas for our engagement shoot and Meghan was a total sport, helping us lug props down to the beach and really bringing our vision to life, while respectfully offering creative ideas we wouldn’t have considered on our own.

When it came to our wedding day, Meghan did a fantastic job capturing the raw spontaneity of the event, while also smartly guiding us (and family) to take pre-planned photos.

Meghan was truly a creative partner throughout the entire process, and the photos we received are absolutely stunning. She brought professionalism, craftsmanship and artistry to our wedding, and we happily recommend her.

Professional, Fun and Creative

Such a pleasure to have Meghan as our photographer for our wedding. She was fun to work with, had a great eye for detail, and we received beautiful photos of our special day. I would highly recommend using her services.

Couldn't be Happier

Meghan was a rock star! She captured my wedding day like magic.
From start to finish I was in great hands. Meghan worked helped me with my timeline as the big day got closer and without her - the day would not have gone as smooth and perfect as it did. Her communication and expertise was very on point and professional.
She can also do the impossible - for lots of us, getting our photos taken can be...awkward. But Meghan (and everyone she works with) made us all feel comfortable and directed us enough so we could feel georgios and also have fun!
The pictures turned out beautiful, and she works her butt off to get them to you in a very reasonable time.
I would recommend her to all my friends.

Great experience and a talented photographer.

Meghan did a fabulous job photographing our wedding. The quality of photos are amazing. She did a good job capturing the feel of our wedding with tons of candid shots as well as posed shots. She was able to get all the photos that we requested prior to the wedding. She made it easy to contact her for any details and it was easy to view and share the photos. We would definitely recommend Meghan to our friends in the future!

Meghan is awesome!

Meghan did an amazing job photographing my wedding this summer. My sister coordinated her services as a wedding gift and she beautifully captured my special day. There was not a single photo my husband and I didn’t love from her set. She was easy to work with, kind, and her photography style suited our backyard wedding perfectly. I would absolutely book her again. She was amazing!

Helped put me at ease

We really enjoyed working with Meghan. I generally am pretty averse to getting my picture taken, but working with her on our engagement photos and wedding day helped me feel much more relaxed in front of the camera. She was a great listener to what we were going for and had some great suggestions of her own that turned out lovely- would definitely work with her again!

Best wedding photographer Ever!

Meghan Smolka was amazing on the day of my wedding - I couldn't have asked for a better photographer team. She made me feel so comfortable and relaxed which is just want I needed on that crazy amazing day! Her photo editing and composure of photos including her eye for color, angles, soft/hard lines, textures, focus, perspective and open space were all on point! I couldn't have picked a better person to help capture those life-long memories! Can't wait to go look at those photos now! :)
