"I have never considered myself a photogenic person, seeing myself in photos I always looked stiff and unnatural, until Megan took our photos. All the wedding photos came out so beautiful I do not know how I am going to pick which ones to put on the wall. Megan was a pleasure to work with and helped capture the memories of our special day in a way that I will look at years from now and smile. I give my highest of recommendations to use Megan to photograph your wedding."

"We are so happy we booked Megan as our wedding photographer! Not only does she take stunning pictures, she has such a kind, warm and fun personality. She did a great job guiding us during our engagement shoot so we could feel natural and comfortable in the poses and have fun with it. On our wedding day, she managed to seamlessly execute our timeline and get all the requested shots while still being a calm presence for us, our family and bridal party during such a special and overwhelming day. Megan also came to our welcome party and captured some very special moments with our family and friends. We loved that she had sneak peek photos ready right away and our entire wedding album was done in a month! We loved working with Megan and would recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding photographer!"

"Megan is an incredible photographer and we were so lucky to have found her. We have an endless amount of good things to say. We did engagement and wedding photos with Megan. Her prices are stated on her website and she is very transparent about packages and pricing. Something we greatly appreciated in the wedding process. We had a destination wedding and she was happy to travel. Megan has a laid back personality and you do the driving in terms of vision, place, poses. She is happy to make recommendations when asked and was open to going anywhere. She does guide and give pointers which we appreciated but we also enjoyed that she let us just be ourselves without judgement. She is very responsive and delivered our photos within the timeline given. She is punctual and professional but also has a warmth about her that makes you feel comfortable. Her photography style is perfection and we adore our photos. We hope to work with her again in the future and will recommend her to everyone we know. "

FAQ
What is the booking process?
Once you’ve selected your date and we’ve determined your collection, I will prepare and send a agreement for your review. I ask that you return your signed contract within about a week to ensure your date remains available. Once I receive your contract and the 25 percent photography retainer, your wedding date is officially booked! The final balance is due four weeks prior to your wedding date.
Are your collections customizable?
Of course! I am happy to tailor any collection to best suit your celebration. Please email me your wish list and I will follow up with a custom collection for your review.
How many images are included in your packages?
You can typically expect 80-100 per hour of coverage and are a curated selection based on content and composition. We include only the highest quality images from each setup angle. Omitted images may include blinking, unflattering expressions, or blur. All final images receive color corrections and exposure adjustments before we present them in the online gallery.
Where are you based and do you travel?
I'm based in Phoenix, AZ and yes I love to travel! For in state photoshoots you'll be charged $0.58/mile for locations 20 miles outside the Phoenix area. Travel is not included in the pricing for my collections. As each wedding is unique, I love to learn about your destination and celebration before we discuss travel plans. We then customize a quote based on the location and number of shooting days. The travel quote is added to your selected collection, and we handle all of our own travel arrangements unless otherwise specified.
What is album process like?
After your photos have been delivered, I’d love your help in selecting photos to include in your album! From your online gallery you are able to go in and create a favorites list, these generally include about 70 images. Albums are customizable so you can definitely decide on more if you’d like. Once those are done, I’ll make the design and send it over to you for approval before submitting the order to my photo lab. All albums and wall art are handmade in Italy with the utmost care and quality. The typical turnaround time for albums is between 3 to 4 weeks, while the wall art averages 2-3 weeks.
What is the turn around time to receive my images?
For weddings and elopements my turnaround time is 4 weeks and for engagements sessions my turnaround time is 2-3 weeks for full galleries.
