destination wedding guide
meet your photographer
Hi, I’m Megan!
I love, LOVE! I also love iced coffee, traveling, nature, and indie folk music.
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 :)

let’s talk weddings
Photos with me are all about capturing your true personalities and having a fun time! No stiff poses or boring smiles around here. I love to capture lots of candid smiles and laughter, but also romantic and emotional moments. So your gallery ends up having a good variety of photos!
We might be a good match if:
you’re a laid back couple
you’re excited to celebrate your love
you’re not afraid to show off your love in front of my camera! I love all that lovey-dovey stuff :)

I photograph moments as they authentically happen, I don’t stop to make them “perfect” just for photos. My goal is to capture genuine emotion throughout the day and preserve all the details you’ve put into it.
Aside from photographing: I would consider myself a very chill person, so I bring a calm (but fun) energy to wedding days! I’ll be there to fix your hair, carry your bouquet, make sure you’ve had water, keep you calm in stressful times, hype you up to make you feel beautiful, and ultimately make sure your day runs smoothly and you have a great time! :)
-
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.
-
Every wedding is different, and I never put a cap on the number of images I deliver. I promise to give you all the good ones! To give you an estimate, you could receive between 500-1100 photos in your gallery.
-
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 the photos, and there’s a print store built in that you can order from.
I can also mail a USB flash drive for an additional $20, if requested.
-
My editing is kept very natural. l can edit small blemishes and the occasional flyaway hair, but I do not offer any body-altering edits or major changes.
-
No, I only deliver the edited versions! Raw photos are not the complete project, so they’re not an accurate representation of my work.
“Not only were the photos stunning, Megan was amazing to work with! So easy and helpful with all aspects of the wedding! I wouldn’t choose anyone else! ”

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.
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 50% of the package price due upon booking, and the other 50% due one week prior to the wedding date. If you need to setup a different payment plan, I can break up the invoice into monthly or quarterly payments from the time of booking to the wedding date.
I will send a digital file that includes the contract and invoice. The invoice can be paid with a 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!
If you need help with anything along the way, Please don’t hesitate to reach out :)
