destination wedding guide
meet your photographer
Hi, I’m Megan!
I love, LOVE! I also love iced coffee, traveling, and Taylor Swift.
But really, what I love most is documenting love stories! My clients become my friends and from their engagement to wedding, to maternity and family, I love that I get to be a part of so many special moments.
I have six years of wedding experience and my favorite part of my job is capturing memories that will last a lifetime. Your wedding day is unique and special, and it’s always my number one goal to document every moment that I can, so you have those memories forever.
Thank you for reaching out to me! All kinds of love are welcome here, and I’d love to add your story to my camera roll :)

as your wedding photographer…
I’m here to help! This is probably your first time planning a wedding, and I don’t want it to be stressful for you. As someone who has been to over 100 weddings, I have plenty of insight to offer, so don’t be afraid to ask me for advice!!
On your wedding day, I photograph moments as they authentically happen, from start to finish. My goal is to capture genuine emotion throughout the day, preserve all of the thoughtful details you planned, and deliver a beautiful gallery of photos that’ll allow you to relive this meaningful day for the rest of your lives!
Aside from photographing, I would consider myself to be a very organized and easy-going person. In the months leading up your wedding, I help you plan a timeline that’ll work best for everyone involved in your day, allowing for a rush-free experience and time for all of the photos you want. Then on your wedding day, I’ll be there to support all of your hopes and dreams, I’ll try my absolute best to make sure your day runs as smoothly as possible, and I’ll always make sure your hair looks good :)

Add On:
Engagement Session
I love having the opportunity to meet you before the wedding day! Engagement sessions are a great way to get experience in front of my camera and they’re much more laid back than a wedding day, allowing for fun photos with your partner that you can print or post everywhere!
If you’re local to the Cincinnati area, your engagement session is complementary!! If you’d like me to travel out of state for your session, my rate is $1500, which will include travel expenses.
Additional Wedding Portrait Session
If you want more photos in the beautiful destination you’ve chosen, we can schedule an additional portrait session, usually the day before or the day after the wedding, This session can be in your wedding attire, or another outfit of your choosing. It’ll typically be 1-2 hours long and you’ll get about 100-200 photos from this! Price - $450
“We can't say enough about how amazing Megan was to work with for our wedding! We did an engagement shoot too, and from the very beginning, Megan was so attentive! She helped us get out of our shy bubble and captured our personalities so well. Megan was flexible, easy to talk to, and so understanding of every request we had for her! She works well with a wide range of people and has the skill that'll blow you away!”
-Elaine & Fitz
“We got in touch with Megan through a couple other photographers on social media. Megan made us feel comfortable and loose during our session. As a same sex couple, finding a photographer that would let loose and have fun with us, and shoot the day as if nothing is different (because it isn't) was a deal breaker for us. Megan checked every single box and was so FUN to work with. She has incredible photos, and is very professional in her work. Our wedding was in October of '24 and we were honored and excited to have her be our photographer. If you're considering a photographer, your search ends with Megan!!”
-Matt & Nathan
“We could not have asked for a better photographer than Megan for our wedding day! She captured every moment of our day so perfectly. She is professional, but also makes you feel so comfortable and at ease. She rolled with all of the punches and I’m genuinely just so happy to have had her there with us.”
-Julia & Alec
FAQ
-
Yes! Since I’m traveling for your wedding, I can either bring another photographer that I work with often, or I can hire someone who’s local to your wedding area.
Pricing will vary depending on who we choose to bring.
-
My turnaround time is 10-12 weeks. I carefully edit each photo to be as perfect as possible, so I promise your gallery will be worth the wait!
-
I will send a digital gallery to your email! You’ll have access to download all of the photos, and there’s a print store built in that you can order from.
If you’d like help creating an album from your gallery, we can work together to make one or I can do all of the work for you and ship it right to your house!
-
When editing, I always remove things that are temporary. Blemishes, bruises, scratches, etc.
I do not edit permanent things such as tattoos, but I have the ability to remove scars or birth marks, depending on the size and location, and only if requested.
I also don’t offer body-altering edits, such as making body parts slimmer.
-
No, I only deliver the edited versions! Raw photos are not the complete project, so they’re not an accurate representation of my work.
The truth is, your wedding photographer will likely be with you more than anyone else on your wedding day. This is why it’s so important to book with someone you connect with and feel like you can trust.
I take pride in being more than just your photographer! I’m always there with a camera ready, but I’m also there to make sure you have a good experience. I can see the look on your face when you’re overwhelmed and need a moment to yourself. I know when to step in if you need help, or when to step back and let a moment happen on its own. I’m always there with a spare tissue if you need it…or anything else because I always carry a wedding day essentials kit. I’ll be there to button your dress, put in your veil, or pin a boutonniere if I need to.
Sometimes wedding days don’t go according to plan, and I’m always there to help you stay on track, but also go with the flow and adapt to any changes that come up. You can trust me to not only deliver beautiful photos, but to also be by your side and make sure you get to enjoy every possible moment of your wedding day 🖤
step one: schedule a video chat with me
I would love to meet over facetime or zoom so we can chat about everything you have planned for your wedding, discuss your photography needs, and make a plan to work together. This will be a short call and I have very flexible availability for you!
let’s work together!
here’s what’s next:
step two: pay your retainer fee & sign your contract
In order to reserve your wedding date, a non-refundable retainer fee must be paid and a contract must be signed.
The standard payment plan is $1500 due at booking as the non-refundable retainer fee, with the remaining amount broken up into 3 payments over the time period from booking to wedding day.
I will send a digital file that includes the contract and invoice. The invoice can be paid with any credit/debit card, and you’ll have the option to set up auto-pay! Once I receive your retainer payment and signed contract, your date will be reserved!
step three: keep in touch!
I’m here for you during the entire wedding planning process! I like to be the first vendor (aside from your planner, if you have one) to help you build your timeline. This way I can tell you how much time you’ll need for photos throughout the day, then you can plan with the rest of your vendor team accordingly. I typically send a questionnaire 8 weeks before your wedding to gather all the details I need to build a timeline, but if you need to start planning any sooner than that, please let me know and we’ll do so!
Thank you again for reaching out to me, I’m so excited for the opportunity to meet and work with you! If there are ever any questions on your mind, please don’t hesitate to ask me! xoxo
