    Unbelievable!

    Working with Megan was truly a dream come true for us both! Photography to us, like many others, was the most important piece of our day. When looking through a list of photographers portfolio’s my husband and I looked individually and both new immediately Megan was our photographer. Her ability to make us feel comfortable, and creativity with her photos was exactly what we wanted! She truly goes the extra mile to get a great shot and we loved getting to sneak away in moments during our ceremony because of an idea she had for a great shot! Our engagement shoot was magical and we cannot wait to get some wedding photos back soon!!

    Megan was an absolute pleasure to work with. Would recommend to anyone!

    Megan was the absolute best photographer we could have dreamed of having to capture our wedding day! From the first email to our engagement photo’s, up until our wedding day, Megan kept in communication with us and really took the time to learn about us and our vision for what we wanted photographed on our big day. Her work is absolutely beautiful! Every single one of our wedding photos are stunning. You won’t be disappointed with Megan’s flawless photography and her down to earth personality. Thank you for capturing our wedding day Megan! The memories you have given us will last a life time.

    Wonderful Photographer!

    Studying photography in my undergrad, finding the right photographer for our wedding was very high on the priority list. I initially found Megan from doing a Google search of our venue and seeing what photographers had worked there before. From the first conversation I had with Megan, I knew she was the person for us. She had a wonderful balance of professionalism and relatability. We first met her when we did our engagement session in Shenandoah National Park. I cannot emphasize how helpful it was to have that session. We got to have fun hiking around the park, while also getting to know Megan better and building the relationship leading up to our big day. Not to mention the gorgeous photos that came out of that day! When planning for the engagement session and for our wedding day, Megan was responsive and available to help with ideas and providing valuable feedback from her experiences. Our wedding was a brunch wedding, which came with it’s own challenges of an early morning and tight schedule. Megan showed up on time and ready to take on the day. She was instrumental in keeping things on track and capturing the images of our day while also managing to keep my husband and I smiling the whole time! It was really a wonderful experience working with Megan and I know we will be working with her again!

    Simply Wonderful!

    Megan did such an outstanding job with our wedding photos. She was professional, but warm every step of the way. I was so impressed with how the album came out! I was really nervous because we weren't able to do an engagement shoot before hand to get used to being photographed and we are generally fairly awkward when it comes to posing. Megan made us feel so comfortable and had such a great eye for how to pose us in ways that were flattering. She went above and beyond what i had expected. She met us for coffee to go over details and look at the venue and then showed up early the day of the wedding to make sure everything was ready to go. She was organized and assertive when it came time for family pictures- a huge help given the rowdiness of our crowd. She is all around very talented and runs her business well. I really can't say enough for how pleased i was with how everything turned out. I usually hate most pictures of myself, but I really loved all the pictures from our wedding day. There was a wonderful balance of the beautiful/dramatic shots and some really fun/silly ones. What really stood out to me about Megan's style was how she tried to captured our authentic selves, our personalities and how we truly look in real life. I went through a lot of photographers pages before I hired Megan and saw so much filtering and editing that it didn't look real anymore. Megan took beautiful shots, but they still looked like us. I would 100% recommend Megan for your wedding or event.

    We LOVE Megan! She has a wonderfully artistic eye that allows her to capture beautiful images. From our engagement photos to our wedding, we are so happy with everything. Our family and guests loved her. She made everyone feel comfortable and wasn't overbearing. She capture our day perfectly. Only challenge, I have so many wonderful photos it is hard to decide which to print and frame! This is an excellent problem to have. I recommend Megan to everyone I know. You can't go wrong having Megan capture your special day!

    We are so happy that Megan was our photographer! Here's the bottom line about working with Megan -- she has all of the interpersonal skills to be kind to you, your family, and friends, but also get the perfect shot throughout your wedding. We were so grateful for how she treated our sprawling families, capturing so many amazing candid shots throughout the weekend, AND the photos were amazing. Even our friends who have shot professionally for the Post and Times noticed what a badass photographer she is -- not noticed, but catching the best photos. We teared up repeatedly reliving our wedding through her photos, and photo albums we created were the hit gift of our respective family Christmas's -- thanks again, Megan!

    Our experience with Megan was spectacular from start to finish. I stumbled across her work looking for photographers and realized she had recently done engagement photos for a good friend. She came highly recommended from that friend. After talking with her, we booked her for engagement/wedding photos. We did the engagement photos in DC and they turned out great. Her communication before the wedding and during the big day was awesome as well. I had some feedback based on our first session which she really took to heart. The day of she arrived early to scout the area and find good spots since it was her first time at the venue. Working with her on the day was awesome - she helped calm your (okay, mostly my) nerves, kept us organized and on-time, was efficient in getting needed photos done, all while having a lot of fun. I think the fun she brings to her work really shows in the photos. We were lucky too that she had some expired film and was willing to experiment with us - the old film photos turned out to be my favorite. They were spectacular. She has a great eye, a great spirit, and does wonderful work. Our photos came back very promptly and we couldn't be happier with them. I even had wedding guests follow up with me after to tell me they loved their interactions with Megan and the warmth and energy she brought when taking photos. Couldn't recommend her more highly.

    Megan is seriously the best photographer my husband and I could have asked for! She is extremely warm and makes sure to listen to what the couple hopes to see in their photographs. Megan reached out many times throughout the planning asking if she could help with anything or if we had any questions, making us feel so supported. We had our engagement shoot done at home. I personally get a little uncomfortable in front of the camera! But Megan's calming energy made both my husband and I feel good throughout the entire time and the pictures came out amazing, full of love and happiness. On the wedding day, Megan was perfect! Things can get hectic with so many people to coordinate and on top of that, we were running late! Megan was on top of it. We got all the portraits we wanted and it turned out beautiful. During the wedding, Megan seemed to be everywhere, though we didn't seem to notice on the night of! We had pictures of everything during the night we wanted and never felt like cameras were in the way. Overall, my husband and I are so thankful we had Megan as our photographer. We love love our photos and had a great experience working with her.

    It was absolutely amazing to work with Megan! From the beginning, she understood our vision, which was not a typical rustic barn wedding. The whole thing was DIY and Megan was part of the team-- it felt like she was one of our lifelong friends helping us with the wedding. We had a few Skype sessions with her to go over logistics, and she even met us at the venue to scout out good spots for pictures. She communicated her directions for us really well (I am not great with getting my picture taken, my husband is) and I didn't at all feel like I was being posed in some awkward way. Most of all, Megan is just a really great person to hang out with. I can't imagine our wedding happening without her.

    I wish there was enough space here for me to write how much my husband and I loved worked with Megan for both our engagement and wedding photos. She was so in tune with our style, and made sure to understand what we wanted the photos to look and feel like. She went above and beyond to do shared Pinterest boards, and with every image or idea I shared, she brought it to life in our two sessions.

    Having her as a part of our wedding day was the absolute best decision I made. She took charge to make sure we captured the photos we wanted (family, couple, portraits, etc.), while also remaining flexible enough throughout the day as timing or flows changed.

    Megan is dedicated to her craft, and to the people she is working with. She did everything in her power to work with us not only on our creative direction, but also on our budget, timeline and other logistics that we needed to consider. I adored working with her, and will continue using her to capture every beautiful moment in our lives moving forward.

    Megan is such a fantastic photographer - she made us feel at ease in front of the camera and got amazing shots. I knew I could trust her eye and her experience to capture everything we would want to remember on our wedding day. She actually came for the whole wedding weekend! I have recommended her and will continue to do so for anyone looking for incredible photos.

    Megan did a great job at capturing us for our engagement session, as we're not an easy couple to photograph when in the spotlight. She made us feel very comfortable and helped give us direction. I was especially impressed on the day of our wedding. I have such a huge family and it can be hard to get everyone together for photos. Megan and her assistant were very assertive, patient, and professional...They worked their magic and got everyone together for some shots. That was very much needed for my big family! Everyone in my family has their own personalities that especially shines through when we're all reunited. I saw some awesome shots that captured their personality perfectly. Megan and her assistant were definitely a great team and were on their toes the whole day, capturing all the important moments as well as more intimate and candid ones. Megan is also very sweet and pleasant to work with. She also helped cue us in on what to do during cake cutting when we were a little clueless about the correct way to do it! I was very grateful for that, since we were in the spotlight and didn't have much time to think. I'm glad I chose Megan and can't wait to see the rest of the photos!

    We are thrilled we chose Megan to be our wedding photographer. She could not have been any more communicative, professional, and downright talented. More than anything else though, she was a joy to work with...this is someone we'd be happy to hang out with, beautiful pictures or not! She was laid back and humorous throughout, enabling me to enjoy the day...she even helped with my dress, the flowers, etc...she definitely knows weddings! Really pleased we decided to book with Megan (and her second photographer). We were so happy with the engagement pictures and now the wedding pictures.

    Megan Noonan was EXCEPTIONAL. She helped me feel comfortable in my own skin and help me feel sexy. She was extremely helpful, especially with such short notice on the time frame that I needed the pictures taken and delivered. She worked hard to meet all of my needs and blew my expectations out of the water. My photos came out better then I expected and are absolutely gorgeous and stunning. Thank you so much Megan for everything. You made me feel beautiful!

    Megan was the absolute best. I was a clueless wedding planner and when we first spoke I didn't even know what to ask her. She gave great advice about logistics for making the day run smoothly. We talked through the day together and she asked all the right questions so that we were on the same page on what I wanted and how things would go the day of. It was the perfect combination of giving me guidance but really asking me questions to figure out what I wanted.

    Megan was AMAZING the day of the wedding. I am one of those people who feels totally awkward having pictures taken and she made the whole process comfortable and fun. She also kept things moving so pictures did not take forever and ever! She took initiative and was so efficient with the time we had prior to the ceremony. She chose the location for our "first look" and it was so sweet and perfect. I really admired her creativity and "eye" for choosing locations, how to stand for pics, etc. She also captured the most hilarious moments of our reception. I cannot recommend Megan enough, we are so happy we got to work with her!

    If you are getting married in the DC / VA area -- or really anywhere -- I could not recommend Megan more. From the moment I first contacted her, Megan was absolutely amazing to work with. She was quick to respond and answer all my questions. She was flexible and willing to work with me within my budget. We knew our wedding photographs were going to be amazing as soon as we did our engagement session with her. Megan worked extra hard to make sure our day was perfectly captured, calm and peaceful, and uniquely our own. I would highly recommend her to anyone getting married in the area.

    I used Megan to surprise my husband with a boudoir album for our anniversary. She made the whole process easy, comfortable, and affordable. The pictures and album she provided were beautiful and I couldn't be happier with the finished product. I would recommend her to anyone!

    Megan was really great to work with! We love our photos! She took the photos exactly as we wanted - more documentary style than posed pics. Our guests were also complimentary of her.

    We chose Megan based on her photo style and her awesome personality! Megan was a dream to work with, from beginning to end. And we threw her some significant curveballs!

    For starters, we asked to include our dogs in our engagement photos -- and Megan was totally game. We did not, however, anticipate, that the two rascals would roll in something stinky mid-shoot...but Megan kept her cool, kept shooting, and we were very happy with the results.

    A few months before the wedding, Megan also did a boudoir shoot for me, to make a surprise wedding gift for my husband! I am by no means a natural in front of the camera, but Megan made the experience easy and fun. She guided me with outfit suggestions, hair/makeup ideas, poses -- and between that and her eye for good lighting, the final shots were amazing!

    Then, finally, the wedding day...I'm sure Megan is accustomed to the slight scheduling hitches and delays that can make a photographer's job more difficult -- and we had those. But we had the added wrinkle of a MOB who ran her own business as a wedding photographer for 20 years... Megan was endlessly patient, took suggestions in stride and still stayed true to the Bride & Groom's request to keep formals to a minimum. We might've been concerned with a single shooter at an outdoor wedding of ~100 guests, but Megan captured all the important moments.

    We received our final photos (A+ for presentation) a few weeks ago and couldn't be happier with them. Having the web-ready gallery and the hi-res images was so helpful for sharing with family and printing for display. Not only are the images themselves sharp, vivid and joyful, but so will our wedding memories be thanks to Megan's incredible work!

    a photographer's worst nightmare... the mother of the bride used to be a wedding photographer! Working with Megan Noonan was a pleasure! We threw every curve we could at her, from being late to missing family members when requested, and Megan remained calm professional and efficient! We had a lovely vineyard setting and Megan maximized the setting in a short period of time and delivered the bride and groom to the reception on time! She also captured the couple for a few moments of sunset photos and even attempted long exposure moonlit shots. What I appreciated most was that Megan was considerate of the guests yet capture the fun of our wedding day. She's a lighting specialist! Megan was also an extremely good value, providing engagement photos and the all events/day coverage for a very reasonable price. I highly recommend her for her talent, her professional demeanor and quality work throughout the wedding day !

    I hired Megan as my wedding photographer because I fell in love with her portraits and decided I wanted to do a boudoir shoot; it was so much fun. She was generous enough to let me use her bedroom and her in-home studio to do the shoot, which was far better than shooting at a random hotel. The lighting was perfect, and the scenery and ambiance of her home made me feel so at ease. I was so comfortable with working with her, and she made me feel so beautiful and encouraged. She always suggested different subtleties in my poses which made all the difference (and made sure to capture the poses I wanted to get which I had pinned to my Pinterest board). If you are looking for someone fun and professional who takes phenomenal photographs, Megan's your choice.

    Megan was the absolute best. From day one she worked with every one of our requests and was timely with responses to our many emails. She provided us with names of other vendors (makeup, lighting, etc) when we needed a recommendation. On the day of our wedding Megan arrived early to begin scouting photo locations and catching those special moments between my bridesmaids and me. Her approach is to stand back and capture those natural moments of joy but she also gave us ideas for ideal photograph locations. During those few moments when my anxiety began increasing, Megan was on hand to calm me down and put the day into perspective.

    Now, for the product, the photographs--they were perfection. She captured the true spirit of the day and the joy that my husband and I felt. The photographs of the ceremony were equally as wonderful as those of the hours of dancing at the reception. During our wedding ceremony and reception we forgot Megan was even there but somehow she managed to capture every special moment on film. She is truly the BEST. Oh, and did I mention she had our photos to us in less than one month?!

    Megan was so great. I've told everyone I know about her. Besides being easy to reach, quick to respond, so comforting during the (boudoir) photoshoot, the pictures turned out absolutely beautiful!!! I didn't find Megan until a month before my wedding, but had I been getting married any where on the east coast, I would've hired her in a second. I'm keeping her in mind for future shoots, and referring her to all my friends/family! :)
