Incredible Experience with Meg – Highly Recommend!
We are beyond grateful to have had Meg as our wedding photographer! We had the pleasure of meeting Meg and seeing her amazing work at my cousin's wedding, and when it came time for our own, we knew she would be the perfect fit for us.
Meg took the time to get to know us through a coffee meetup and our engagement photos and by the time our wedding day arrived, we felt completely at ease with her. She wasn’t just our photographer, she felt like a friend who genuinely cared about making our day special.
Neither of us had much experience being in front of the camera, but Meg made taking pictures so much fun and relaxed. Her candid style helped us feel natural, and the photos captured the day perfectly, full of joy and authenticity. She also did an amazing job getting beautiful shots of our guests, making sure everyone was included and every moment was documented. And she got some great shots of our doggo!
We couldn't be happier with how our wedding memories turned out, and we would recommend Meg to anyone looking for a talented, warm, and professional photographer. Her ability to capture both intimate moments and joyful celebrations is unmatched. She made our special day last a lifetime in photos!

We hired Meg to photograph our wedding and we couldn’t have been happier with our choice. Meg worked with us from start to finish to ensure we would be getting exactly the photos we wanted. She was responsive, accommodating, and personable throughout which made us feel very at ease throughout the sessions. We were drawn to Meg because her portfolio captured the natural and candid style we were looking for and the final results did not disappoint. She perfectly captured the day in a way that exceeded our expectations and was consistent with preferences we had expressed. I would definitely hire her again and she’d be an excellent choice for anyone looking to have some photography work done.

Meg is an all star and so fun to work with! I've been able to see in her action managing First Look photos and Sunset photos with professional charm. She's able to ensure her client's feel comfortable all while working with her surroundings and natural light to capture the moment seamlessly. 100% recommend Meg Cole Photography!

Megan was our photographer for both our engagement shoot and our wedding! She was so friendly and responsive throughout the planning process, and she was fun and easy to be around during our events! The way she captured the natural beauty of our venue and brought out genuine smiles from everyone was lovely. It has been so much fun reliving our day through the moments she captured!

Megan went above and beyond before, during, and after our BIG day. She is more than a talented photographer, she was there to give guidance, referrals, and advice. We required a lot of handholding, especially throughout the reception. We don’t know what we would have done without her. There were a million beautiful photos to choose our favorites from and that was difficult, because Megan really knows how to capture all the big and beautiful moments. She was so positive, sweet, supportive, and PATIENT the entire evening. She is kind, professional, organized, efficient, and a very skilled photographer. Megan exceeded our expectations of what a photographer does, she is truly the full package. Really reasonable pricing and very flexible, she will work with whatever coverage you need.

Meg was truly the best, from our engagement session to our wedding day, we were so sad to say goodbye at the end of the night. She takes incredible photos and is so fun to be around. She made us both feel comfortable and celebrated, and we laughed together the entire time. She had beautiful recommendations for our engagement shoot, and our wedding sneak peeks are stunning and so dreamy. My family has still been making comments from our wedding day about how great Meg was and how fun she was to work with. She even did a fun photo shoot with my grandma, who is telling anyone she can all about it. We are so beyond grateful to have worked with Meg, and will forever be obsessed and in love with our photos.

It was so great to have Meg as our photographer for our engagement shoot and on wedding day! She is so fun and went above & beyond to capture all the photos we asked for. Meg made us feel so comfortable which was important since we both are slightly awkward behind the camera. It was soo exciting to receive sneak peaks the very next day after our wedding. Our final photos all turned out beyond amazing and we are going to cherish them for a lifetime! Thank you so much Meg!! You are amazing!!!

Megan was amazing!! We loved working with her from our engagement photos to our big day!
The photos turned out great and we liked that they were very natural-looking. She is easy to work with, fun to be around, and great at communicating too! She was super helpful with posing and not making us feel awkward.
We got our photos back in a reasonable amount of time (and even before the quoted timeframe) and there were SO many amazing photos!!
So thankful for Megan and will definitely keep her as my top choice for photos in the future.
Thank you ♥️

Megan was an absolute DREAM to work with! She brings such wonderful energy, we were laughing together all day. We did our engagement and wedding photos with her and she was so helpful with poses and locations. She is patient and kind and quick with communication. We opted for a second photographer and the two clearly had good chemistry working together. I definitely recommend Megan for wedding photography, she made our special day extra fun.

I cannot possibly say enough good things about Megan and her photography skills and what a tremendously delightful, kind, and good person she is. She was a breeze to work with and I'm so grateful we found her to be our photographer for our engagement photos and wedding. She not only took the most perfect photos of my husband and me, and our family and friends (and dogs! she took the BEST photos of our dogs - I was astounded!!!) but she also just all-around enhanced the day with her presence. She's exactly the kind of person you want hanging out with you on your wedding day. Thank you Megan you are truly the best and your work is absolutely stunning. We will cherish these photos forever!

What a blast to work with Meg!! I was so glad we did an engagement session with her, because after that, I knew we had nothing to worry about for the wedding day. Meg made me and my husband feel totally at ease. She was intentional about finding out what was important to us, and she really executed day-of. She had a wonderful calm and kind presence. We heard from so many friends and family what an amazing photographer we had. Meg, I am so glad we met you. Book this wonderful woman!

Megan was great to work with from the engagement session to the wedding! She was very flexible with all of our schedule changes and timing issues.
We are from out of town and had to cancel our engagement session last minute when the family members we would have stayed with caught Covid. We were able to come down a few weeks later and had a great time! The engagement photos came back with more than enough time to use on our save the dates and to print off for the wedding.
On the actual wedding day we had planned to do all of the family portraits before the ceremony and take our couple pictures during cocktail hour, that way our family could enjoy cocktail hour. Unfortunately the groom ripped his pants while getting ready and it took so long to repair them that we had to postpone family portraits. Megan was very flexible and efficiently took all the pictures during cocktail hour so that everyone still had time to snack and socialize. She helped turn a potentially chaotic day, more organized for everyone involved.
The pictures turned out wonderful and it was easy to share all of the photos with friends and family through her gallery link. Between Megan and the second photographer, there were hundreds of pictures - not just of us, but also of family members socializing and interacting. A few family members have reached out to say how great the photos were and how happy they are to have such quality images with special family members, like grandparents.
Thank you Megan!!

Meg was absolutely amazing, very patient, kind, funny, professional and so easy to get along with. She loves her career and takes pride in every aspect of it. She builds lasting relationships and captures each moment beautifully! Jen, her second photographer, rolls with your same emotions on you special day, she makes you feel loved, and secure in everything we are doing. The team together make the best duo the pictures they both take compliment each other. They will become your family at the end of it!

Megan and her assistant were fantastic! We loved all the photos they took, and a complimentary engagement shoot was also included. The price was also another good selling point for us. She doesn't charge as much as other photographers do, yet the photos are absolutely stunning! She has a very outdoorsy vibe to her work and was great about getting all the wedding party to cooperate in the process. Thanks again, Megan :)

Hands down one of the best professionals that I have worked with. Megan made my wife and I feel comfortable and safe throughout the whole photo shoot. Megan puts listens to her customers and put them first. My wife and I were looking for a photographer that had a keen eye for capturing candid moments rather than staged and Megan delivered. We absolutely adore our pictures and are glad we chose Megan to capture this magical moment for us. Megan was also extremely patient and understanding while planning during uncertain times. If you are looking for a photographer that will always prioritize you, go above and beyond, and will make you feel like you have been friends since high school, than Megan is who you are looking for. Thank you again Megan for being amazing!

Meg worked with a fellow photographer, Kiley Stephens (who we absolutely recommend), and the two of them absolutely crushed our wedding photos from start to finish! Meg worked with my groomsmen and I for the wedding party photos and she made the whole experience was an absolute blast. To say that she took incredible photos is an understatement. We'll be printing out dozens of the photos that she took. If you want someone to put their all into your wedding photos, look no farther than Meg!

My husband and I hired Megan to be our wedding photographer in 2018. We had a very intimate wedding weekend with just our immediate family members and it was very important to us that we had professional photos of our day. As our wedding was so small, we were nervous that it would be awkward to have someone there photographing us, but Megan felt like family! Prior to our wedding, she and I had several phone conversations to get to know each other and get a plan in place. She was always so kind, both over the phone and in person. We had a small engagement shoot together, which turned out beautifully and had us so excited to work with Megan for our wedding. She was always very prompt and clear in her communication, which took the weight of worrying off my shoulders. She was also FUN to work with and knows how to get even the most camera-shy people to look happy to be in front of a lens! The shots that Megan captured from our day is everything we could have asked for, and more. I simply can not recommend Megan and her work enough!

I would definitely use her for future photography.

The photographer is the most crucial vendor for your wedding day (a stranger is essentially capturing the most intimate moments on the most important day of your life) and within our first 2 minutes of our virtual consult, we knew Megan was right for us and our destination wedding! She made us feel so comfortable right off the bat and travelled all the way from Oregon to Pittsburgh, PA to capture our day. She came to our rehearsal to get an idea of the space and lighting and helped our group learn when to pause for photos during the walk down the aisle. Megan was the key person the day of our wedding and we could not picture that day without her! She literally ran between hotel rooms for all the getting ready pics and made sure she captured everything (and more!) on our photo checklist. We even did a secret separate boudoir shoot to show my husband on our honeymoon! My husband and I do not feel comfortable being photographed but Megan made us feel confident and gorgeous, and made everything so fun and easy for our bridal party, family, and friends visiting from out of town. The week after our wedding she shared a few sneak peak pics in our online gallery and we were in LOVE with them and couldn’t wait to see the rest! Her talent and passion for love and photography truly shines through her work. We were so happy with how everything turned out, and the memories we get to look back on are priceless. Our family and friends even said our one ceremony photo is the best they’ve ever seen. We would hire Megan again in a heartbeat, and we thank her from the bottom of our hearts!
