    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!

    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!

    Great All Around

    Megan was absolutely fantastic throughout the wedding process. I am a bit camera shy, but Megan made me feel so comfortable throughout my wedding day. She is flexible, kind and incredibly talented- everything you want in a photographer!

    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!

    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.

Her photos and editing style are absolutely beautiful! I can’t wait to look at them for years to come. Megan is also such a wonderful and genuine person!

    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.

    Stop looking, there is no one better

    From the very first phone call meeting, covid wedding probs, to our engagement pictures, FINALLY thanks again to covid, my bridal portraits and then the wedding day Megan did not miss a beat! She listened to what we wanted and made sure that is what we received. When I called her before my Bridal portraits telling her how nervous and anxious I was to pose in front of a camera all alone she reassured me I was in good hands and she wasn't lying. She made me feel like the most beautiful bride in the world and it showed in the pictures. When we finally made it to the wedding day a year and a half later she absolutely KILLED IT! Not only were the pictures everything I could of ever dreamed of but her ability to wrangle up our large wedding party of 20 people and accomplish our family photos with over 75 family members, with no stress on my part, was HUGE! On top of capturing all of the moments we asked for she also was able to document all of the details I had worked so hard on for over a year to make the day everything we had every wanted. I loved every second of working with Megan and will never hesitate to recommend her to anyone and everyone that ask! I would be lying if I said I don't find my self going through our wedding photos at least once a day! WE LOVE YOU MEGAN!

    Best of the Best!

    Megan worked with us for our engagement photos, small backyard wedding ceremony, and large reception. Before booking with her I wasn't even sure I wanted engagement photos and thought the experience would be terribly awkward. She managed to put us both at ease from the get go, all while keeping to her schedule and ensuring "golden hour" was optimized. Most importantly she had us laughing the whole time, and dare I say, made it fun! Starting off with the engagement shoot helped her get a sense of how we interact together and poses that work for us which helped ensure our wedding day was executed to perfection (which it was!) She is professional, organized, and worked seemlesly with our other vendors to guarantee both of our "day's" went smoothly! Her attention to detail was something that made the experience even better. She had us fill out lists of important friend and family groupings ahead of time so the day of she could capture all of the most important shots without having to ask a single question.

    In addition to the positive experience, her work speaks for itself! I am blown away with her finished product from each of our events. Her style is beautifully captures each moment and elevates without them feeling overly posed, stylized or edited. She really is the best!

    Above and Beyond

    Stop your search and hire Megan.

    You can stop worrying - Megan's commitment to detail is evident in every part of her business. She works easily with your planner on a timeline; she gives you plenty of time and a template to help with coordinating family pictures; she communicates promptly and directly on advice, invoices, and must have photos.

    You will feel celebrated - in every interaction, Megan conveys her enthusiasm for you and your partner in this special season. This is her job but she makes you feel like more than a transaction. She walked through the door on our wedding day with a big smile and introduced herself around. It's so much more than just having a photographer who is present. Megan is a friend who is EXCITED for your day and your love.

    You will love your photos for a lifetime - Weddings can be stressful and the day itself can be overwhelming. When I look back through all of the moments Megan captured, all I see and feel is the incredible joy that enveloped the day. I cannot understate what impact Megan had on making this whole experience positive for us. We will cherish this feeling, forever. Thank you!

    Megan is amazing!!!

    I can’t say enough positive things about working with Megan. She helped make the engagement pictures and wedding picture and planning process stress free and seamless. I can’t thank her enough for being so great at communicating with me and my planner to make sure everything went perfectly on my wedding day!! She took the most gorgeous pictures and I can’t wait to print all of them. Thank you, Megan!!!!

    Best photographer ever!

    I had an absolute blast with Megan. I’m a pretty camera shy person and she helped make me feel comfortable and not forced. The photos turned out absolutely incredible - it was so hard to pick my favorite! Megan was the first vendor I selected and one of the best choices I made! From the beginning she talked me through all my options and gave me the pros and cons of each based on all of her experience. She was extremely professional and great to work with through the whole process. As we got closer to the wedding she was available as I started putting together timelines and talked me through options. Planning a wedding during COVID was tough, but Megan’s flexibility and responsiveness made it so much easier. Megan threw in an additional hour of photography on the house and was willing to move dates if we had to. She was an absolute pleasure to work with! I would highly recommend Megan for your photography needs!

    Picture Perfect Wedding Day

    We couldn't be more happy to have found and worked with Megan for our wedding. From the first phone call to engagement photos to coordinating three wedding dates thanks to COVID to finally getting across the finish line, Megan was professional, calming, joyful and 100% on our team. 

    Her stunning photos speak for themselves. Her use of light and final edits are what initially drew us to her work, but her personality is what sealed the deal. Megan is warm, fun, easy to work with and at the same time, direct and efficient. She made us feel comfortable and relaxed every step of the way. Her communication pre-booking, creating timelines and through receiving your final photos is clear, timely and organized. She worked with our wedding planner and vendors to make sure everything was accounted for and those she chooses to partner with for second shooting are just as amazing as she is. She WILL book up, so don't hesitate to grab your wedding date with her today.
