Megan captured memories of both my wedding day and my completed family (9 years apart). It should say a lot that after those 9 years I was still just as excited for her to photography my family as the first time.
Megan is professional, personable, and there is an ease in working with her that is indescribable. She makes everyone feel comfortable and able to be themselves while working with her.
I remember on the day of our wedding she ensured we had every photo that we wanted captured plus so many more, she was calm and even gave us gentle time reminders to keep us on schedule. The photos of that day are displayed around our house and are some of the most valued things I own!
When it came time to photograph my family, Megan made sure to get to know our girls before she ever met them. She took the time to find out what would make them feel most comfortable in front of the camera. During our session, she was patient, friendly, and even let the girls get in on the picture taking action. This made my girls really warm up to her and open up when it was their turn to be photographed. We never once felt rushed! Megan again made sure to capture all the combinations of our family. The final images that we received were absolutely breathtaking and I know they will be memories that we cherish for generations to come! I cannot wait to display them in our home!
I would recommend Megan with my whole heart!
First and foremost, Megan is the sweetest & most caring individual you will ever meet. Not only was she so organized while sharing my vision, she was so supportive in the setbacks I was going through while planning my event. I didn’t find myself just a regular photographer, I found myself a friend that actually wants the best for you & your special day. She made the whole photo session so effortless & fun and she makes you feel so comfortable. Btw if you’re camera shy, you won’t be if Megan is taking your pictures! Book her for all of your events, you will NOT regret it💕
This review is long overdue. Megan was my wedding photographer this past September. She is outstanding in every sense of the word. I saw Megan's photography and immediately knew that I had to have her photograph my wedding. Her talent is incredible, her pictures flawless. However, that only skims the surface of what Megan did for me on my wedding day. Megan planned my wedding schedule down to the minute (in a completely unintrusive way). I followed the schedule along with my entire family. She made it so every person in my wedding party knew exactly where to be and when. She kept all of the guessing out of the day. She was extremely professional but has an incredible presence, we all felt as though she was part of the family and we had known her forever. Megan captured the most incredible moments of our wedding, while never really seeming to be a photographer at all. It was like one of my best friends just happened to be there capturing my big day. I am an overly anxious person. I was very nervous for the big day and having been in many weddings before, I was told "it will not go smoothly". Well, it did. And I can honestly say that I owe that entirely to Megan Braemore. Megan single handedly made my wedding what it was. Flawless. At one point, after pictures were taken, Megan told us, it was time for us to relax with a glass of wine for 30 minutes prior the ceremony began. My mother said "I didn't know that you could relax on your wedding day". Relax we did. Megan planned the whole day out like an incredible professional. She treated my family as her own, was incredibly flexible but also structured. After receiving my pictures a few months later I was floored. The lighting, the candids, the poses, they were all perfect and just what I had been looking for. I guarantee if you hire Megan as your photographer you will not be disappointed. You will end your event with outstanding photographs, peace of mind, and a good friend. We are lucky to have had Megan as our photographer. I could not recommend anyone more as not only a photographer but as a person.
Megan was the single best decision we made throughout our planning process! My husband and I have never been a couple that enjoy having our photo taken. Because of this, I was apprehensive that we would be able to find a photographer that could capture our day beautiful without making the task feel awkward. Megan was the first of many calls I had scheduled to “meet” photographer for our wedding. Immediately, I knew we needed to work with Megan, and canceled all other scheduled phone calls. She is so joyful, friendly, kind, and passionate about her art, we felt as if we had known her for years. She immediately put us at ease and made us excited (for the first one) to start having our photos taken.
Megan does so much more than photograph your wedding day. From the day we booked with Megan, she was always (happily) available to chat planning, tips for making the most out of the day, and advice for making our wedding and our photos exactly what we envisioned. She established a day of schedule, that incorporated every photo request we had, and made the entire day feel relaxed. The entire day was perfectly scheduled and stress free, all that’s to her hard work leading up to the wedding. She truly goes above and beyond to ensure that you have the wedding day of your dreams.
On top of her expert help with planning and details, Megan takes the most incredibly beautiful photographs. We were truly blow away by her ability to make every photo looked like a work of art. I can not tell you how many people have told us that they have never seen such gorgeous wedding photos, or how impressive it is she was able to capture every detail without being noticed. Every single photo is perfect! It is impossible to choose which photos to print!
Megan is a genuine, kind person and an amazing artist. We can not express how grateful we are to have had her capture our day!
Michelino and I are out of words to say "thanks" to Megan Braemore because thank you does not seem enough for the pictures she capturing during our destination engagement shoot in New York City and Brooklyn. Our experience working with Megan was a top notch, memorable, 5 star experience. Her photography skills and passion for what she captures is truly and art and we both highly recommend her for a number of reasons.
She sees your vision and makes every effort to make it come to life. Megan made helpful suggestions for our engagement shoot based on what she gathered from our love story. She listened and captured what was sonimportant to us as a couple making it all about US and not about what she wanted to shoot. This is how she differs from so many photographers out there, she sees the big picture, strives to make the couple beyond happy. We are still filled with emotions from what she captured from our engagement shoot. To sum it up best, she captured "US" and what Michelino and I are all about.
She's a gem. Working with Megan was nothing short of a memorable and special experience, from her calmness and sense of peace to her positive spirit filed with joy, we loved each moment of the experience. We now have photographs that capture the essence of our love story, and had such a fun time during the shoot.
She makes it all about you as the couple. Megan's eagerness to learn about our Love Story made us feel soooo special and as if we were her #1 priority even during a destination engagement shoot. Megan's ability to catch each and every romantic and charming detail along our shoot represented the detail in who Michelino and are as a couple. She made everything seem so easy and seamless and she didn't miss a beat! She has the ability to make her clients feel so important. Her epic photography skills and ability to capture natural light on the Brooklyn Bridge couldn't have been more perfect as she timed it perfectly for a vibrant, piercing red orange sunset reflecting off the skyline of NYC in the backdrop of our photos. This was inspiration Megan had discussed previously with us (a sunset on the Brooklyn Bridge in the background) but it was more than Michelino and I ever imagined as the photos made it all come to life.
She makes you feel like gold. She also allowed us to be ourselves, which was so important to us and it made the photos as "real" as possible. As a newly engaged couple, she made us feel at our center, our "happy," "our peaceful zen" in NYC with over 8.4 million people, we felt on cloud 9 and in our own bubble the entire time. To us this was beyond special and it created such a memory for us. We went through the photos just this week and relived each one - isn't that what photos are supposed to make us do?
She'll get it right. If you're looking for an experience of a lifetime and looking to not only get some of the best photos of your life by also meet a photographer who will listen and work together with you and your vision, Megan is your gal!
Working with Megan was by far the best decision my husband and I made. It was important to us to find a photographer who could capture our story and to no surprise, we fell in love with Megan's work from the moment we saw it. Her photography style is classic, pure, and organic. She shoots with natural light and captures candid, stunning images that make you fall in love all over again. Her work speaks for itself. Megan shot not only our wedding photos, but our engagement session as well. After meeting with her for the first time, it was clear to us that her personality is just as beautiful as her photography. Throughout the planning process up until the day of our wedding, she was always one step ahead and made everything easy. She offered her expertise and was there for us the entire time – both as a photographer and friend. You see, Megan captures special moments, not photos – and she does so brilliantly. She is incredibly talented, creative, and personally one of the sweetest souls we have ever met. Megan is truly an artist. Words cannot express how thankful we are at the end result. As I told her at our wedding, “You’re my forever photographer." She captured memories that we will cherish a lifetime.
Our experience with Megan was truly special and I cannot recommend her enough for engagement or wedding photography. She put us at ease straight away and made us feel comfortable to be ourselves throughout the whole shoot. Megan was able to capture the essence of our relationship and love in all of her pictures. Looking at them afterwards made me cry because I knew I was looking at our unique love and spirit, not uncomfortable or generic shots. She is a true artist and her eye for this work is impeccable.
Thank you so much, Megan! I cannot wait to share these beautiful moments with friends and family for many years to come.
Choosing my photographer was a very delicate task for me - I was a photography minor in undergrad and had very high expectations. Megan shattered every single one. From my international engagement shoot, to my international wedding, and local reception, Megan was my confidant, my guide, and my friend through every moment. As someone who is much more comfortable behind the camera than in front of it, Megan made me feel beautiful and photogenic.
When the photos came to us, my mom and I sat there in awe. I spread them out to the wedding party and immediately got floods of texts of how they were so fantastic they all cried. Every moment was captured, every emotion felt was portrayed. I would have my wedding another three times to go through the experience with Megan again.
Megan is simply a joy to work with. My fiancé and I planned our wedding over a year and a half, and didn't have a wedding planner. Megan was there every step of the way with answers, love and support for us whenever we needed it. The communication was seamless. Our wedding day was perfect. No stress, first looks were absolutely gorgeous. She has an eye for perfection, and it shows in her work. I have not one single complaint. The absolute best photographer you can ask for. I will and would recommend her to anyone! (Her assistant on our wedding day was very helpful as well!)
My daughter (and her fiance/husband) selected Megan as their wedding photographer. What a dream the experience with Megan has been. Megan shot photos not only for our destination wedding in Italy, but also for my daughter's engagement announcement and a reception at home. We found Megan to be: professional and punctual; flawless in developing and managing a schedule of photos, while also capturing the unplanned moments; organized with an artistic eye, and thoughtfully artful; respectful of our vision while presenting all the options; a delightful person with a winning smile; and last but not least, an all round amazing person. If this sounds a bit over the top, I do not apologize. Finding such a professional as Megan allowed me to relax in the knowledge that our special days would be appropriately documented - with the essence of the moment, and the magic of the day.
I did not rate 'Value' with stars. I have no comparison for cost, but if value is defined by 'the days' experience' and the finished product, then my rating is five stars.
Megan's personality and professionalism were mentioned often by our guests and wedding facilitators (venue, caterers, etc.).
Megan was excellent!! We loved working with her. Not only did she take absolutely beautiful photos but she was helpful and organized. She was responsive when I had questions about anything and everything and she helped me think through some of the details about the wedding day that I had not really focused on. She was also a lot of fun and a joy to be around!
Megan was absolutely amazing! I can not say enough about the great experience I had with her for both engagement and wedding photos. Megan takes the time to get to know you with several phone conversations as well as questionnaires, by the end your old friends and she knows how you will feel most comfortable on your wedding day. During our engagement photos she came over early to help us pick out outfits that would work best for the photos. VERY helpful! For the day of she learned the schedule of the activities planned and kept everything on time and perfect. Even my limo driver the day of told me how great she was! The thing that really separates her from any of the other photographers in weddings I have been in is that she lets your day happen organically. All the great "candid" shots you have to usually stop and pose for pre wedding she just has an eye for detail and catches them naturally. Her eye for detail is really incredible and shows throughout the amazing wedding book she puts together for you. The quality of the book is beautiful and it is also great that you get all of your negatives. Megan goes above and beyond any expectations you could possibly have for your wedding day. I would highly recommend her to anyone that wants great wedding pictures and a smooth day she is simply the best.
I clicked with Megan from our very first phone call; she was so personable and sweet. Our first meeting at her studio started with “hello” and a hug and by the end of the day we were like old friends poring over her portfolio of wedding albums, laughing, and sharing recipes. This speaks volumes to the kind of person Megan is. She truly cares about each of her clients and is devoted from beginning to end. Our package included an engagement session and I wanted photos taken during peak foliage. Megan researched the best dates to make this happen (she goes above & beyond at all times) and sent helpful tips & a questionnaire ahead of time to get to know us better, which was really great. Despite the fact that we had to reschedule a few times due to inclement weather, Megan was calm, reassuring, & always accommodating. We went to a state park close to our home and that was when I got to see her work her magic. She has serious vision and although we were nervous (my now husband is extremely shy & does not like his photo taken) we trusted her and she did not disappoint. We were in the most unlikely place (right next to a parking lot) but you would never be able to tell from the finished photos. Megan finds the right spot, makes it work, and you forget everything else going on around you. She was really helpful in guiding us to pose/connect with one another and it definitely comes across in the images. We look like our true selves; so happy and in love – you’d never tell my husband is shy! By the end he had opened up & was having a great time. That in itself is a huge accomplishment! I still look through the photos and can’t help but smile at the good times & laughs the 3 of us shared. Megan & I stayed in touch; she was always there to answer a Q, provide insight, or put my mind at ease. As the big day approached she had me fill out another detailed questionnaire, provided more tips (she thinks of absolutely everything), and developed a wedding day timeline. This was invaluable! Her timeline served as the guide for everything else that day and it all went without a hitch. The day of our wedding, Megan & her 2nd shooter (Tara – also super sweet & awesome) seemed to be everywhere at once – not one angle was uncaptured and I was able to relive so many special moments that I missed in the hustle and bustle. She took control when necessary, ensured everything ran smoothly & on time, and coordinated with my other vendors to make sure everyone was on the same page/schedule. We were in such good hands! She stole us out of the reception at sunset to capture some romantic shots and everyone is dazzled when they see them. Our venue’s wedding coordinator can’t wait to see them and has already asked if she can have some for their website! One of the most special moments we shared was when Megan first arrived at my hotel room to start shooting me getting ready. She walked in the door, gave me a big hug, and we both choked up. She had just photographed my husband and his father getting ready together and was so moved by the occasion she had tears in her eyes. She told me how beautiful everything was and how happy she was to share it with us. This really struck me. How many people do you witness get that invested in their work? Megan is an absolute gem, and one of the most passionate and talented people I have ever met. I am honored that I had the opportunity to work with her and would recommend her in a heartbeat. Thank you Megan, from the bottom of my heart.
Megan Braemore should be a therapist. Or a cheerleader. Or a professional best friend. When I stepped out of the hotel on my wedding day and into my portrait session, my heel tore a hole right through the tulle on my skirt. I yelled and swore blue murder until Megan took me by the shoulders, looked me in the eye, and talked me down. For the rest of the day, whenever anything went wrong, I knew that Megan had my back and I could relax. And aside from being a wonderful person, she is an exceptional photographer. I have never been a person who takes "nice" photos. I take silly photos so I can hide my insecurities. But Megan made me feel beautiful on my wedding day, and look beautiful in the pictures she took. I will always be grateful for her.
Megan photographed our intimate at home wedding and was perfect! With such a small group I knew it would be hard to "ignor" the flashing of the camera but boy was I wrong... Megan was so warm and kind, she fit right into our family and took pictures that took our breath away!! Megan's beautiful imagery made our home look like our ceremony was held in an actual venue not our living room (rain forced us inside and we had to plan b) she was soo flexible and great to plan with. Megan had great ideas we never thought of for helping our day ease along the way a big wedding would do naturally. Megan sees beauty behind her lens and it shows in every picture, she was perfectly priced and very professional, I (and my husband) would recommend Megan to anyone and everyone looking for a photographer!!
Megan truly went above and beyond in her duties as our wedding photographer. From the first phone conversation, I knew she was "the one!" Her artistic energy and style is unmatched in the Boston area, and her effortless ability to act as stage director during the big day made her indispensable. Not only does Megan capture breathtaking and natural photos, but she also keeps your planning process and wedding day on track, organized, and stress free, without you even realizing it! I am happy to call Megan not only our favorite and most trusted vendor, but also, a new friend. I would highly recommend Megan and her team to any couple wishing to work with a true artistic professional. Thank you Megan! ~ Ali & Eric
It is truly hard to encapsulate my deep respect, appreciation and love for Megan Braemore and her beyond beautiful work. Our journey started early before I ever even personally met Megan, when I had seen her photographs from a friends wedding that I attended a few years prior that she had taken. I was blown away by the images she produced and knew that I needed to learn more.
Megan and I eventually connected for our first phone conversation- our slated time was supposed to be about an hour. However, we ended up spending close to two hours talking about what type of photographer she was and the sort of approach she has to her work and to her clients and how she handles each and every one of her couples differently. More than that, our conversation developed into a deeper discussion about life and what we are passionate about and the people and things we cherish most. I quickly realized almost two hours later when we were getting off the phone that it felt like the whole time, I had known this person for many years and that although I had not, I knew we would be friends, dear friends for many more. I also knew that I had just found my photographer and I had to do whatever it took to to make sure she was part of our experience.
She played such an integral part of our wedding journey. From our bi-monthly meet ups for cocktails and conversation to bringing us to the most beautiful and romantic setting to shoot our engagement photos. There, she made us feel so comfortable and at ease it was like our own private celebration where the world had stopped just for those few hours and it was only me and my husband. I cherish her ability to do this, make the most simplest moments seem so big.
Megan was also a very strong voice of reason for me at many points and I always felt like we had the rapport where I could call her for anything. Something as small as deciding on certain little details or even right down to the wire on the day of our wedding when we had to make a call on the weather. She always comes from a genuine and thoughtful place and is not afraid to tell you her honest opinion, which I very much respect and honor.
And her photographs and art work, where do I even start? I am an avid art collector and have always had an affinity for contemporary art and photography. Megan's photographs are hands down some of the most beautiful work I have honestly ever seen. Her goal with her clients is to truly capture the moment and the essence of ones relationship and what love really means.
It has still taken me time, weeks later to digest how stunning our wedding photos came out. Megan did the most amazing job capturing my husband and I's relationship and our wedding celebration through here imagery. She was able to encompass our entire day through her thorough attention to detail and convey that to us through her pictures.
I am happy to say that because of Megan and the passion she puts in to her work always, my husband and I will be able to relive that momentous day and those once in a life time feelings through our photographs and wedding album. We owe a lot to her, not just for over delivering in the picture department but mostly for investing so much of herself into us, our experience and making sure she did everything she could to make the journey so special.
We love Megan, and envy those future clients who get to live this once in a lifetime adventure with her.
I cannot recommend Megan with enough enthusiasm! She photographed our wedding, as well as our engagement photos, and her work is truly incomparable. She is one of the most authentic and passionate people I have ever had the honor of knowing, and it shows in the care and detail she puts into her photos. She is an absolute delight to work with and made us instantly comfortable – impressive considering neither of us particularly enjoys having our photo taken. In addition to nurturing and capturing exceptional photos, Megan was an incredible resource to us in planning our wedding. She was always available via email to answer any questions that arose and was instrumental in helping us structure our day-of schedule. On the very rainy day of our wedding, which was intended to be outside, Megan put us completely at ease and coordinated a wonderful weather plan. Our rainy day photos turned out as stunning, unique pieces of art and I know we will cherish them always. I am so grateful for Megan’s incredible ability to create art out of what some might have considered a weather disaster. Megan is truly a joy to work with and she is unquestionably an extraordinary artist and professional.
I originally met Megan when she was the photographer for my cousin's wedding WAY back in 2010. As a bridesmaid, I had close contact with Megan and was very impressed with her caring nature, attention to detail and ability to make anyone feel, and in turn, look relaxed as she took pictures on what is for many a high stress day. Once I saw how amazing the photos from the wedding came out, I knew I had to book a personal family session with her. My family session was more than amazing, as Megan helped pick out outfits, shooting locations, and set a mood which produced work I still consider to be among my most prized possessions. Since the original family session, I've booked Megan twice more personally for family & newborn shots. Others around me also fall in love with her work, and in October my sister-in-law had Megan Braemore Photography capture her wedding day. Also a bridesmaid in this wedding, I was so happy to see that in the years since our original meeting she has the same loving soft touch, and an even more impressive arsenal of tips and techniques to make the day feel both special and relaxed. Megan is the only photographer I want to work with for the rest of my life. I'm already hoping to book with her again in the coming year, and feel blessed to have had her document my family throughout the years. If you have the opportunity to book Megan Braemore Photography, know that in addition to Pinterest worthy photos which induce goose bumps, you’ll also come away with a new friend who truly cares. I highly recommend Megan Braemore Photography for your wedding, and any other life event you are looking to document. – Alexis Forest
I highly recommend Megan to any couple searching for the right wedding photographer. If you are hoping for images that capture the true feeling of your big day, images that portray more than just that one moment in time, look no further. Megan somehow manages to tell the story or your love in the most aesthetically pleasing way -- capturing all of the elements of the day in a candid fashion. As a bride who did most of the decorating for our farm wedding myself, I really appreciate that Megan paid as much attention to all the little details as I did. From the beautiful scenery of the venue, to the emotion and humor of the ceremony, to the unplanned moments that happened throughout the day. Not being huge fans of the typical "posed" wedding pictures, my husband and I are thrilled with the images Megan captured with her creative eye. And while the day was a whirlwind of activity, she was extremely organized and efficient, paying close attention to the fact that we wanted to maximize our time enjoying the day rather than posing for pictures. I cannot recommend her highly enough. Just look at her photos...they speak for themselves!
Megan is amazingly talented! We did a lot of research on photographers before deciding on Megan and we couldn't be happier with the pictures from our wedding. It was important to us to find a photographer who didn't just take stiff posed pictures, but instead capture the candid moments of our special day. Megan's pictures are beautiful, effortless, and were exactly what we were looking for. What's more, Megan is a fabulous person and is very easy to work with. She provides lots of tips and guidance along the way; she and the second photographer even helped my bridesmaids figure out how to get me in my dress!
Megan Braemore is absolutely wonderful. My husband and I got married on November 27, 2013 at Gibbet Hill in Groton, MA and she was everything we imagined. Megan was so easy to work with before, during and after the wedding. From our first meeting we knew she was the one!!! (kind of like when I met my husband!) ha! She took the greatest shots of us on our special day. The process of choosing the photos for our album was so difficult because I could have chosen all of them for our final album. Megan is a true professional and is genuinely interested in making your day as special and romantic as you always imagined it to be. I highly recommend MEGAN DANDELES PHOTOGRAPHY. Congratulations and Best Wishes to you!
I can't say enough about Megan and what an amazing photographer, wedding asset, and friend she is. Truly, if you're looking for an awesome wedding experience, don't look any further :-) Below, I am going to go into crazy detail about how awesome the experience was, but in a nut shell, you can't do any better than Megan ;-)
I stumbled onto Megan's amazing work when I was looking at our venue's photos. She was featured on every page so I knew I had to check her out. I read all the positive reviews about her and fell in love with all the work on her website so I put all my effort into booking her and I am so happy we did!
I planned most of the wedding myself and I could not have done it without Megan's expertise and guidance. At every step of the way she was anticipating what we needed to do and every detail.
Our first meeting, she was so cheerful and friendly! She promised we would be fast friends and she was right! We were so nervous because her art is stunning, so we expected to be really intimidated but Megan is so approachable and such a pleasure!
On the day of our engagement shoot, my hair went horribly wrong and Megan was there to save the day with all of her genius tricks! She also put us at ease. It was amazing how comfortable my partner was with PDA while Megan was photographing! My partner is NEVER cool with PDA, but Megan made it all so perfect :-)
Our wedding day, Megan was such an asset. She helped us out with this amazing questionnaire and planned out our timeline for the day so we knew exactly what to do and when. When she arrived, she looked amazing and was running around taking wonderful photos of every last detail :-) During the ceremony, she graciously dodged around my relatives and friends that almost blocked her photo taking a few times. And she felt like a true friend sharing the day with us.
Looking through the photos now, I honestly don't know how she did it. She got pictures from every angle, almost like she apparated from one side of the wedding to the next! She was so patient when every one seemed to want a photo with us after the ceremony and surprised us still, with some crazy aerial shots, she must have floated to get ;-) My partner and I just keep going through the photos exclaiming, "How did Megan take that?!"
I must warn you, reader, every photo she takes is *perfect* which makes it IMPOSSIBLE to choose anything less than all of the photos ;-) So be prepared for tons of AMAZING photos that you will cherish for a lifetime :-D
I’ll begin this review by saying that I don’t even WANT to imagine throwing a wedding without having Megan involved! More about that later… The bottom line here is that her photos are simply stunning. She is outrageously talented, has an amazing eye and impeccable artistic vision. Megan also has an uncanny ability to understand the unique dynamic and special relationship between two people, and express it beautifully in her photographs. My wedding was the best day I could have ever imagined, and Megan was no small part in creating that. I cannot recommend her enough.
When I first saw Megan’s photography my breath was taken away—both me and my now husband (who is a cinematographer) knew that she was our very first choice of wedding photographer. I contacted Megan about ten months before our wedding, and we had some serious planning and phone discussions about the look of the wedding and our vision for the whole event. I had a large wedding at an estate house in New Hampshire, but I was planning it from New York City, and Megan’s expertise and experience really helped me envision the whole event from afar. She is a true professional, and guided us through so many wedding planning mysteries. (Of which there were oh so many!)
A few months before our wedding Megan came to New York to take our engagement photos, and both me and my husband think of this as the first wonderful event of our wedding. Megan was so positive and professional, and seemed to “get” us almost instantly. (She gave me wardrobe recommendations—including advising what belt to wear!— and then guided us through Prospect Park and Dumbo, our favorite spots in the city.) This day not only gave us a taste of what the wedding day work would be like, but also made us LOVE her. It may sound silly, but my husband and I remember her sitting in the back of the car, reassuring us that the choice of flowers and suit color for the groomsmen would look great and both feeling much more secure! She is the sweetest and smartest lady, and we just wanted to spend more time with her.
Now on to the wedding day. Megan worked closely with our wedding planner so that the photography and events all went off without a hitch. Everyone tells you “something will go wrong at your wedding, be prepared for it.” My husband and I were shocked afterwards: every moment of the day went so well, and I know that Megan’s expertise was imperative to this happening! It may seem like I’m gushing, but that’s because the whole experience of working with Megan was better than we could have imagined. And I feel that I gained a friend! Working with her was nothing short of a wonderful experience. The images that Megan took captured perfectly the beauty of the setting and the true joy that my husband and I, and our families and friends felt. She's a true artist, and I feel honored to have had her photograph us. If you want to have the most beautiful and meaningful photos from your wedding, go with Megan Braemore!
Finding all of the right words to thank Megan for her exquisite work and involvement in our wedding has been challenging because it is hard to do her justice in just a few sentences. I knew that Megan would produce fantastic and beautiful images – her work speaks for itself, and I was blown away by her eye and her angles when I first looked at her work on her website. What I am most grateful for is how fantastically wonderful she was to work with. I couldn't have imagined anyone else there to spend my wedding day with me – Megan was calm and supportive, she made me feel relaxed and assured that everything was just how it should be. On the day when I was able to hand select those most close and important to me to surround me as I got ready, it can be hard to think of a stranger being involved to capture pictures of the event. But having Megan there was like having a friend with me every step of the way. And that is more meaningful to me than anything.
It has also been the most wonderful feeling to have friends and family look at our wedding pictures, and all rave about how well Megan captured “us” in all of the images. I had a gut feeling about Megan the first time we spoke, and she went beyond any expectations that my husband and I had for a wedding photographer - by leaps and bounds.
She is an enormous talent and simply a joy to know and work with.
From the moment we began planning our wedding, my husband and I knew that finding the best photographer was our top priority. Beyond the flowers, the cake, the DJ, etc., we knew that the day would fly by and that having those beautiful photographs to remember the day would be something we would always treasure. When looking for a wedding photographer, I wanted someone who could capture the small moments of the day with creativity and artistry. I wanted someone who understood light and Megan is a master at this! When I saw Megan’s work for the first time I was struck by the natural beauty of it. She has a mind like a talented artist and she works passionately to create images that are timeless and stunning. After speaking with Megan and discovering how much invested she feels in her clients and their love stories, I knew she would make our wedding day perfect.
Megan made the entire planning process a breeze and on the day of our wedding, she was the calm presence that every bride needs. She literally thought of everything! After our first look, I feel like I didn’t even know she was there photographing us, as she blended in with the guests seamlessly. As predicted, our wedding day did FLY by way too fast, but the day that we received our wedding photos we got to relive it all over again! My husband and I sat on the couch with tears streaming down our eyes looking at the stunning pieces of art Megan created! She captured the day, but even more than that, she captured the emotions, the feelings and the love! She photographed real moments, some of which I didn’t know occurred until seeing the photographs. I recommend Megan Braemore Photography to any bride and groom who is looking to capture their wedding day in a way that is not posed or formal, but that reflects the beauty and love of the day!

From the first interaction, Megan has been a dream to work with and someone that I leaned on throughout the whole wedding planning process. I remember connecting with Megan on the phone for an initial chat to get to know each other. When I hung up the phone, I called Jay, my husband, to update him. From the excitement in my voice all he said was, “so you found our photographer.” Megan had spent almost an hour on the phone getting to know me first as a person and then getting to know Jay and I as a couple. Megan genuinely cared about getting to know our love story.
From that initial conversation through the wedding day, Megan has perfectly balanced being a warm professional. Megan is one of the most kind-hearted people I have ever met. From the beginning, she instantly made me feel comfortable and at ease. Throughout our engagement, Megan not only worked with Jay and I to create a vision for our wedding day but also made time to answer any wedding related questions that randomly popped up throughout our engagement. Megan was a calming force when I was debating color choices for bridesmaids dresses and the accompanying men’s suits.
Megan’s photos are absolutely stunning. She has extraordinary vision for capturing the true beauty of the day. As luck would have it, the day of our wedding a hurricane ended up hitting at the exact time of our planned outdoor ceremony. We had to move to plan b. Megan had already called me the day prior and discussed the backup plan and reassured me that the day would still be beautiful. The day of the wedding, Megan arrived at the location where I was getting ready and she took over with her calm and warm demeanor. Due to the storm, we had to change our pre-determined location for wedding party photos. Megan coordinated with our contact at our venue to select a new location for photos. With doors closed tight and a storm outside, this was not an easy feat to maneuver since the space became more limited. Megan navigated these changes and the whole evening with grace and confidence. She continued to check in and was incredibly reassuring to Jay and I as well as our parents and wedding party. Megan truly helped run our wedding day and she calmly and beautifully captured our dream day. Our photos are incredible. Megan used natural lighting to create some photos that have a soft glow that made my jaw drop when I saw them. She spent time capturing details that were important to us and she used the venue space in a beautiful way. Overall, our photos captured our love for one another and the joy of our day.
I truly had a wonderful experience working with Megan. I whole-heartedly recommend her. She is an incredible artist and an even more amazing person and I am lucky to have worked with her.
Megan puts her absolute all into her clients from the moment you speak to her on the phone. We fell in love with Megan’s photography from the minute we saw her work, and after talking to her knew that she was the perfect fit for us. She made everything so much easier with her sweet and sassy attitude, and put our minds at ease. It was so important to us for our wedding photos to be different, and capture those special moments candidly. She made us feel so comfortable, and felt as if she has been a friend of ours for a long time. I appreciated Megan's attention to every detail and she really was able to capture the beauty of our day, our story and all the little details along the way. Megan truly found the essence of relationship and captured it in photos for us to cherish forever. Our pictures are so special to us, we can never fully express how grateful we are to Megan for the photos and when we look through the photos we feel all the same emotions of that dream day. Megan is truly a rare and special talent, that I recommend to every bride I meet. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We will always treasure our wedding memories thanks to you.
I have been looking forward to reviewing Megan's work since I met her - I just knew we would be would be thrilled with our experience and photos since our initial meeting. When we first started planning our wedding, I was surprised at how finicky I was being about the photography. There was a certain style, personality and professionalism that I was looking for in our photographer. And although I met with a few very talented photographers, it was not until I met Megan that I found exactly who I was looking for.
Megan has a gorgeous style and is extremely talented at finding the most beautiful natural light making for amazing photos. Our photos are more beautiful than I imagined - we couldn't be happier with how they turned out!
In addition to her amazing photography, Megan is a very genuine and sweet person with the innate ability to put everyone at ease. She gives instruction in a direct but very calm and pleasant manner which can be extremely helpful with large wedding parties and families! She pulled my husband and I away for some sunset photos, and although I thought we'd feel silly trying to be all romantic in front of the camera and any guests sneaking a peek, Megan made us feel totally comfortable and relaxed. We really enjoyed that time to ourselves and Megan captured the moments beautifully, obviously :)
I have recommended Megan to friends who are currently engaged and would recommend her to strangers on the street or internet :) I cannot say enough amazing things about her and am very grateful to her for capturing our day so perfectly!
Megan puts her heart and soul into her work and its so inspiring to see such dedication and passion. From the moment we saw Megan's work and spoke with her, we knew she was the perfect fit for us. She is the sweetest person ever and we immediately knew we could trust her to document our day, stress-free! She was by far our favorite vendor and so much fun to be around! Her peaceful and soft nature just brought us to a place of ease. That is exactly how Megan made the whole process feel...easy! While photographing us, she made everything natural and fun-no forced poses, just captured us as we are. She quickly became more than our photographer and now I am proud to call her a friend. I appreciated Megan's attention to every detail and she really was able to capture the beauty of our day, our love story and all the little details along the way. Megan had an uncanny ability to capture the essence of who we are individually and as a couple. She told our love story with genuine interest and joy. Our pictures are unique to us and that makes them so much more special. I can never fully express how grateful we are to Megan for the exquisite photos and genuine friendship we created. When we look through the photos we feel all the same emotions of that day. Megan, your talent is a rare and truly special gift! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. we will always treasure our wedding thanks to you!
I first discovered Megan by pouring over the amazing collection of photos on her website when I was interested in learning more about the photography business. She was kind enough to meet for coffee and a friendship blossomed from there! Less than a year later when I got engaged and knew I was planning a destination wedding, I told my husband there was no way anyone but Megan was going to photograph the day. I knew too much about the quality of her work to be happy with anyone else at that point!
I worked with Megan as an assistant on a few occasions before hiring for our wedding and therefore knew our big day couldn’t have been in better hands. In addition to her creative talent, she’s the epitome of a true professional and is genuinely passionate about every couple’s experience and creating the best product for them.
In the madness of a crazy day, she did an amazing job going about her work unnoticed when appropriate, corralling families and bridal party when needed, and scouting out the best locations for those iconic shots you dream of capturing. The photos from our wedding couldn’t have been more perfect and a year later I still look at them in awe on a weekly basis. I know we have shots in our collection that no one else could have spotted or created. In addition, she treats witnessing special moments with such sensitivity and respect, something I think other photographers forget about when trying to get the job done.
I know not everyone feels as strongly about investing in high-quality photography for their wedding but working with Megan is worth every cent. She is a delight to work with, honestly passionate about sharing in your day and has an amazing eye that can’t be replicated.
Before I was even engaged I had picked out Megan to be my wedding photographer. I fell in love with her work from a random Facebook post and my now husband and I fell in love with her upon meeting her. Megan is the nicest person you could ever hope to meet and work with. It's not easy to pose and show your love in front of a stranger, but before we knew it, Megan had us at ease, holding hands and forgetting we were being photographed. She makes you feel at ease and not silly when others stop and stare during your session because there is no one else but you and her. Her pictures are gorgeous and capture everything you would expect to see in a magazine spread trying to sell a romantic getaway, but real. Picking Megan was the easiest choice I made for my wedding. I emailed her A LOT and she took them in stride, never making me feel like I was asking too many or silly questions. When prioritizing expenses for the wedding, I didn't care how much Megan would charge because I was so confident in her work. I've only seen the sneak peeks from my wedding, but based on those and the experience we and our guests had with her, it was money well spent. Pick Megan not only for the beautiful photographs, but also the beautiful experience she will create at your wedding.
I recently received my photo album and it is absolutely beautiful! Megan did an amazing job- the photos are fabulous, and the album is gorgeous! I have received so many comments from friends and family about how awesome the album is and how talented my photographer was.
Working with Megan was great! She made me feel comfortable and at ease from our first conversation on the phone. The helpful guides and info that Megan shared helped make my wedding day a breeze and stress free!
Megan's work is amazing and her passion is as well!
Megan is a true artist I am so happy we had her capture our wedding day. If you ever had nerves about being in front of a camera then fear no more! Megan becomes your instant best friend throughout the process and you feel so comfortable getting photographed. The best part is that she makes the entire experience fun! We did our engagement photos with her as well and both those and our wedding photos are dreamy! She had this way of capturing truly special moments that you don't even realize she's getting because you drift away in the moment. She finds these hidden pockets of light that make your photos so romantic and stunning!
Megan was the first and only photographer we met during our engagement, and we couldn't have asked for more. Her love for love is contagious and is reflected in each and every gorgeous photo she captures. She is truly a gem. From the moment we met Megan, a self-proclaimed "hugger," she was a dream to work with. To this day my husband and I joke that we wish we could carry Megan around in our pocket to photograph the rest of our life together. Beyond being one of the sweetest, caring people I've ever met, Megan is a true professional with an amazing gift. Her eye for detail and ability to capture the personality and emotion of the day is extraordinary. Love, love, love.
I had not worked with Megan before selecting her to photograph my wedding, but was excited by her portfolio of work. I am a wedding planner and so am extremely particular about fine detail, and was very impressed with the way Megan's photography both captured the unique style of each of her subject couples, but also showed a consistent artistry - lots of sunbursts, close embraces and interesting backdrops.
Megan was very easy to work with starting from our first meeting - accommodative of my schedule, highly professional and very attentive, going so far as to reach out proactively to us to keep moving the schedule forward when I was swamped with other details. Refreshing, to say the least, and planning would have been a breeze if all of our vendors were as timely and professional.
Our package included an engagement session (place of our choosing), rehearsal and 10 hours of wedding day coverage with a second shooter, along with 2 parent albums, guest book and wedding album. We were extremely happy with the value.
As for the actual photographs, I was not disappointed - Megan did an amazing job capturing the key moments and surprising us with candid angles and vignettes we weren't expecting. Megan does a great job making her subjects feel comfortable with her style of shooting, and my husband and I had lots of fun. Because of her easy-going attitude balanced with an incredibly efficient professional attitude Megan would be a great fit for any couple!
Megan has definitely turned into more than just a photographer for me. I am proud to call her a great friend even though the wedding is over. She is absolutely adorable and one of the nicest people I have ever met! She made such a great impression with my entire family that my cousin decided to book her for his wedding and the rest of my family is trying to make up reasons to hire her! My husband and I can't wait to find another reason to have another photo shoot with Megan!
As a parting note I would just like to say thank you SO much to Megan for making my wedding day even more special than I could have possibly imagined! And if you are a couple looking to book a photographer, I would stop reading this review and book Megan as soon as possible!
Details.
That's the word that comes to mind when I think of Megan. I knew that in order for me to be able to relax and enjoy my wedding I was going to have to find vendors that I could trust with the little things I couldn't control. I had a "vision" or a feeling of how I wanted my wedding pictures to be and just hoped that it was possible.
I'm so happy I found Megan! Sprigs of lavender, sweet notes, brown paper packages tied up with string...these are a few of my favorite things! It's obvious that she sees the world through a different lens. Her professionalism and eye for detail goes far beyond the photographs she takes.
Although it felt awkward at first, I'm glad we did the engagement session with Megan as well. It allowed us to become comfortable in front of the camera and allowed us to become comfortable with Megan. It was important for her to know who we were and what made us tick. It felt good to know that she understood us better and knew how to put us at ease for the big day.
She patiently went through every detail with me about how the big day should run. On wedding day I just let her run the show (What? Me give up control??) and I knew I could trust her to see even more beauty than I could. I found myself not worrying a bit because I knew I was in good hands.
Scrolling through my proofs just makes my heart smile! She did it! My dreams have come true! This was my vision! I had such a wonderful day, I enjoyed every minute and her pictures reflect that.
When I began looking for a wedding photographer, I was looking not only for someone with great artistic style and skill, but also someone I could trust and connect with. After ten minutes on the phone with Megan, I knew that she was the photographer I had been looking for. Megan is incredibly talented with a camera, and she has all the characteristics necessary to be a great photographer: a great sense of humor, incredible patience, the ability to make anyone feel at ease, and a real passion for storytelling.
More than anything, Megan is a true professional. She is very genuine in her desire to produce products that her clients love, and she is willing to go above and beyond to make this happen. She helped us create a custom package that was exactly what we wanted, she stayed late on our wedding day as a last minute request, and she made sure we were perfectly happy with the photos and albums that she created before she produced a final product. She understood that we wanted a photographer that would capture our day in the least invasive manner, so she took our formal portraits quickly and effortlessly, and shot candids that we didn't even know she took until we saw our pictures.
There are so many things that Megan a wonderful photographer, but the one I think says the most about her is her grace under pressure and her ability work with the difficult personalities that emerge as a result of stressful wedding planning. Megan was able to manage everyone form my bridesmaids to my mother-in-law with incredible ease so that I was able to enjoy my wedding day, and she did it with a smile on her face. To this day, my guests comment on how nice my photographer was and how much they appreciated her ability to direct people in a way that was friendly, yet firm.
Megan is a wonderful photographer, person, and friend, and I am lucky that I found her.
Yes, a wedding takes months of planning, wanting each step of the way to be all that my daughter, Emily, and her fiance, Jon, wanted it to be and recognizing that it is just a brief few hours that flashes by in what seems like seconds. So while we cannot slow that magical time down it is imperative to find a photographer to capture the moments that will last a lifetime. Obviously this is a huge expectation and requirement to place on any photographer but you have to meet Megan. I knew when I saw Emily and Jon's engagement pictures that Megan was extraordinarily talented, an unbelievable eye for capturing the essence of this beautiful couple while creating a composition that truly enhanced each and every photo. Emily and Jon's wedding was at our home and when Megan arrived prior to the wedding I believe her fantastic creativity started well before she entered our driveway. Megan introduced herself to me and I was immediately struck by her personality, energy and professionalism. I knew straight away that she was no ordinary photographer but a true artist and I could simply relax and let Megan do what she does best. I have spent alot of time around artistically gifted people but just watching Megan was awe inspiring. Megan seemed to instinctively know what areas, items, photographs and most importantly the people that were so important to this couple's wedding day. We received the wedding photos yesterday and I cannot put adequately into words how beautiful, creative and beyond all comprehension of what a wedding photo can convey. Beyond magnificent but I promise you the most stunning photographs I have ever seen. Megan did not miss a moment, each frame was perfectly composed and so naturally breathtaking. How Megan accomplished this frame after frame is nothing short of artistic genius. We are obsessed with looking at this amazing portfolio, feel forever grateful and excited to have it but the selection process is going to be challenging since we want them all!!!!!
Its hard to put into words how I feel about Megan Dandeles--she is a true professional, a stellar artist, and an incredibly caring, wonderful person. I searched a good number of wedding photographers before finding Megan, and there was just something about her photos that made them special. I continued my search but always came back to her site--her mixture of details and candid but intimate moments is captured so beautifully in her photography. A call with her on the phone sealed the deal. I had to have her be my photographer! We just clicked instantly and I could tell I didn't have to explain anything about what I wanted; Megan just understood and totally got what I wanted. And if you aren't sold by her personality, the proof is in the pudding with her photos. I can't tell you how many people have gawked over my engagement pictures! My fiance and I admittedly were incredibly nervous about the shoot, because we do NOT consider ourselves to be photogenic by any means. Megan made us feel instantly comfortable and you can tell from our pictures! She is completely dedicated to her clients and my satisfaction is her number one priority. Due to an unfortunate experience with trying to obtain a studio space, there was a bit of a delay in getting our photos back to us. She made it up to us ten-fold by sending several prints to us for free, and in the overall quality of her work. Totally worth the wait!! And speaking of, we cannot WAIT to work with her again for our wedding. She is absolutely our forever photographer, and friend!! :)
Megan was an absolute dream to work with! She's super sweet and extremely professional. She knew how to make my husband and I feel comfortable in front of the camera during our engagement pictures, which gave us that much more confidence on our wedding day. I must add how talented Megan is, her work is magazine worthy! I am extremely picky and I was so thrilled with our engagement pictures, we even purchased a gorgeous guest book through her for our wedding. We've only seen 2 sneak peeks from our wedding day and we LOVE them, can't wait to see the rest! Thank you, thank you, thank you Megan! If you're in search of a photographer we can guarantee you will not be disappointed!
I am a makeup artist in the wedding business and have recently connected and worked with Megan. I did hair and makeup for a Boudoir Party she threw for some of her brides. It's difficult to have women feel comfortable and beautiful in most situations but in this setting especially. She knew what to say and how to pose her clients in a way that made them look spectacular and feel amazing. Her shining personality knew how to connect with her bride and made them shine. I felt comfortable and appreciate by her as well. Her pictures all came out stunning. I couldn't say enough about Megan as a photographer and recommend her to my brides regularly
All brides look for vendors the moment a wedding date is chosen; you search hundreds of websites, magazines, and books under the sun to find the right people that meet your checklist- affordability, personality, style, etc. We knew in the beginning of the planning process that having the right photographer to capture each moment of our big day was an important & meaningful decision. Ok, I might’ve known this even before I was engaged and I don’t even remember how I stumbled upon Megan’s work, but since that first moment, I was hooked. Even though she was in Colorado at the time, and our wedding was going to be on the East Coast, I couldn’t help but keep her in the back of my mind. I kept browsing through other photographers’ work, just in case, but I kept comparing every little detail with her work, and nothing could match it. Then I found her blog and I could read her words & I knew that there was so much passion and heart into what she does and I had to have her. My husband couldn’t agree more. Megan has the heart, focus, patience, kindness, and talent of the perfect photographer. She calmly responded to all my emails and phone calls, and was willing to do everything to make sure our vision came across the way we wanted. She was professional, but also felt like a friend helping you on this wedding journey. We were many, many miles away from her, but she calmed our nerves throughout the whole process. After our engagement session, we could see the excitement she had in every moment and she was casual but offered direction if we wanted it. A few months later, Megan’s passion and excitement continued into our wedding. She understood our emotions and the memories we were forming in each second. It was a great joy to work with her on such a big day of our lives. We received our wedding photos about a month ago or so, and I could not stop looking at them. Even our guests, and of course my husband and I, couldn’t believe in each photo how much love and beauty she was able to capture. It was such an emotionally high day, and we couldn’t have been happier with her and our photos!! Thank you Megan for everything from start to finish, we cannot wait to do more sessions with you in the near future!
Megan was super easy to work with as we prepared for our wedding from out-of-state. We booked her last minute and she fully-accomodated us in every way, from an engagement photo session (just 4-days before our wedding!) to the wedding day photos. She is very organized, has great suggestions, and responds quickly to email/phone calls. What impressed me the most was that Megan really loves what she does. She has a kind personality that radiates into all aspects of her work, from email correspondence to phone calls, and of course during the photo sessions which made us feel comfortable working with her. I met with many photographers, and Megan stood out in terms of her work, and also as a person. On the day of the wedding, most the time we didn't know Megan was there, but the pictures show otherwise. She definitely captured our wedding day beautifully.
We found Megan Dandeles just when we were beginning to become overwhelmed with all of our wedding planning. We met over coffee and knew that she was a perfect fit. We immediately booked her and everything else in planning our wedding started to fall into place! She photographed an engagement session for us and had us include our, then two year old, son which was very sweet and meaningful, it was also something that we ourselves had not thought of.
It was very important to me to get the best pictures possible of our wedding; your photos will forever be a constant reminder of the day you and your loved one made the promise of all promises to each other. I love my pictures so much that I show everyone and I recommend Megan Dandeles Photography to everyone I meet!
Megan is such a kind, genuine, professional and attentive photographer, not to mention she possesses an immense amount of talent! She thinks of every detail for you and customizes your session/ event to fit your style and expectations.
A year after our wedding we were expecting our second child and Megan took priceless newborn photos of our daughter when she was only 2 weeks old. I will forever go to Megan for our photos and one day when my little girl gets married I will be asking Megan to capture her special day as well!
Thanks Megan!
Megan is truly an amazing photographer. I stumbled upon her website while planning my wedding and I just fell in love with her style. We made the decision to contact her, and I'm so happy we did. From that first phone call, Megan was so helpful and flexible with putting together a package we could afford. I initially did not want an engagement session, but Megan felt strongly that we should have one, so we did. Thank goodness we took her advice. We were able to meet Megan face to face for the first time and all get to know each other. It was a nice, stress-free way to get comfortable with the person who would be capturing our wedding day. I have to say, for 2 very camera-shy people, Megan took the most amazing photographs, both during the engagement session and on our wedding day. She made us so comfortable and has a gift for catching those special candid moments. My favorite photographs are the ones that we didn't even know she was taking at the time. A year after our wedding, we are still getting comments on our photos, and a friend is now going to have Megan work with her and her fiance for their wedding next year! I am so thankful we met Megan, and I highly recommend her for any occasion!
My husband and I tried our best to keep our wedding intimate, affordable and still be exactly what we wanted. When looking for a photographer, those things were not easy to find. After one conversation with Megan, I felt that we had found it in her. That feeling was far exceeded during our first meeting and engagement session.
Megan's talent for exceptional photography is obviously visible in her photos. What you are not able to see, however, is Megan's ability to make you feel as though you are simply spending time with a close friend. She was genuinely interested in our story, our goals and our feelings.
Wedding Days are filled with so many things to do, emotions, etc. and it is very easy to let the true purpose of the day slip away. Our goal was to enjoy every moment and take it as it came. We were able to do so, but not without the help of family, friends and our calming photographer.
The images that Megan captured from our wedding day are beyond-words priceless. She was able to encapsulate everything that we were feeling that day in a photograph. So much so, that when I look at it today, I still feel those same emotions.
I honestly cannot say enough about Megan and her talent. I look forward to the milestones in our married life and hope that we will be fortunate enough to have Megan there to capture those moments.
Let me start this review with a short story: Megan shot an engagement photo shoot for my fiancé and I and posted the shoot on her blog. Along with the amazing photos, she wrote a paragraph detailing Mike and me as a couple, some of the things she learned about our relationship throughout the day, and then she listed the favorite things about us that she observed as the three of us spent the afternoon together. When my mother, who I chat with almost every day, read the paragraph, she said “Wow, I think Megan knows more about your relationship than I do!” What this story tells me is that Megan genuinely cares about her clients and has a fantastic capability to capture and to detail their love stories in beautiful, appealing ways. Through her artistry, she invites guests to share in these stories intimately rather than have them feel like they’re distant observers.
From the beginning of the wedding photography process until now, Megan continues to demonstrate her care and concern for her bride and groom. Megan insisted that, if it was at all possible, she shoot our engagement session – she wanted to know us as a couple and work with us before the wedding so that we would be comfortable with her shooting the wedding day photos. When the wedding day arrived, Megan knew how Mike and I related to each other and, needless to say, the photos are breathtaking. She also coordinated with me a few times before the wedding to make sure that she was planning to capture the wedding exactly as we envisioned. Since the wedding, she’s worked diligently on uploading the proofs, which were ready in 1-2 months vice 4-6 months for a larger photography studio. Her consistent timeliness is a quality I find admirable.
As a side note, Mike and I married at a destination location. Megan performed advance research on the location, contacted the catering manager to get the details on the best photo opportunities around the resort, and arrived a day early to familiarize herself with the staff and the resort. I thought this was all amazing effort on her part to make sure that she was intimately familiar with the setting and how her equipment would perform. I think the review already captures that her photos were absolutely perfect throughout the day.
It’s been four months since the wedding, and our guests are still reviewing the photos, ordering them, and gushing about the amazing quality. Beyond the quality of the photos, though, they’re also gushing about the quality of person Megan is. I heard more than one wedding guest tell me how friendly and personable they found Megan to be, and how infectious they thought her joy for life to be. They said to me, “She seemed to be having so much fun; it was like she was a wedding guest herself!” Indeed, Megan’s passion for what she does shines through in her “capture all of life” attitude and her artistic eye for what photo shot will preserve the feeling of a moment. Megan puts her heart into taking breathtakingly gorgeous photos for your life events, and infuses those photos with her beautiful spirit. I found a wonderful wedding photographer, yes, but I also found a wonderful friend.
Megan went above and beyond my expectations for a photographer. She is friendly, easy to work with and quick with communication. Her photography is absolutely phenomenal. Her photojournalistic style gives a more personal touch to your album that is difficult to find in the photography business. Whether she knows it or not, she has any eye for art and it definitely shows in her work. This was a must while I chose my photographer. What comes through the most is Megan's passion for her work. She cares about every little detail about your wedding and wants to capture it perfectly for you.
I chose Megan because I, myself, am an artist and the photos were THE most important part of my wedding. I wanted a phenomenal photographer, but I had little money to work with. For her talents, Megan's prices are very affordable. It was important to have someone who would be able to take the photos that I would want taken and to capture the parts I would inevitably miss in the hustle and bustle. She caught everything I could have thought of and more. What I admire most is her passion for her work. She LOVES weddings and wants your day to be perfect. She's always researching the most up to date tips and designs to help her brides, which can be found on her website and blog.
I cannot speak highly enough of Megan. She has become very dear to my heart and I hate to see her leave Colorado. But I know I'll see her again at the next event I need photographed!
Thanks Megan! You'll be missed, but Boston will love you!
