Megan Montalvo Photography

of the way. She helped us with every detail and everything felt like it was easy and we never felt pressured. When the elopement day came it was everything I could have ever dreamed of. Megan made us feel special! I wouldn't say either of us are very comfortable in front of the camera but with Megan, it felt like the camera wasn't even there, it was fun, natural, and more beautiful than anything I could have hoped for. She captured our most authentic selves and I one hundred percent would recommend working with her!

llowed our timeline (since our planner did not do this). She made our pictures fun to take which was great since both my husband and I are incredibly awkward in front of the camera. We’re looking to hire her again for more pictures of us in the great outdoors (her specialty and man does she deliver). Bottom line: 10/10 recommend

d all of our annoying questions. We also love all of the pictures she took. She captured so many great candid photos that we will cherish forever.

eather. She even made sure to stay near my venue the night before so she could make sure she could be there for my wedding. She is extremely organized, efficient and makes the whole day so stress free! She goes beyond her role as a photographer and makes sure everything is set in place for your wedding day. I am so thankful I got to have Megan as the photographer for my wedding! I could not be happier with the pictures we got back, they are beautiful!

tner in creating unforgettable experiences for our clients. She is a great communicator, always looking for the best way to collaborate with fellow creatives on a project. She does her research, which means checking for up-to-the-minute updates on weather and trail conditions so that her couples stay safe and have a positive experience. She is also a community-builder, willing to teach and empower her clients and fellow creatives to be prepared and THRIVE. I am so excited to see what the future has in store for Megan and any shared clients we have!

rrived at the mountain to total fog, Megan rolled with it and we still got the most amazing photos! Everyone had a million compliments on our photos, and Megan made it a really special day for us and our family.

with her before our wedding. She also make us feel very comfortable throughout our shoot and our wedding day. Megan was always very professional, yet personable, letting her own fun personality bring ease to the day. This woman knows her stuff and we cannot support her enough. After our wedding my father took time to mention how much he admired her work ethic. Did I mention she was almost 9 month pregnant at the time? It didn't slow her down at all. She truly impressed everyone. All our family and friends cannot stop commenting on our photos. They're simply beautiful!

u have at the end of the day. From our first meeting with Megan (and her cats) I knew she was going to be amazing! And boy did she deliver!! The photos of our day turned out absolutely stunning!! She made ordinary backgrounds look extraordinary! It was nothing short of a pleasure working with her and her second shooter Asia, who was so kind and also got some of my favorite shots! It is hard to pick a photographer but if Megan is available for your day, run quickly to book her, you will not regret it! Your money will be more than well spent! Thank you Megan for documenting our most perfect day!

fe. Megan is a very skilled photographer and exudes professionalism throughout the process with her clients, but I believe what sets Megan apart is her warmth and perception of people. She genuinely got to know us and learned what we wanted from our engagement and wedding photos. We initially went with Megan because of how genuine her past clients looked in their photos, but there are so many other elements of why you should choose Megan as your wedding photographer and one of the top reasons is the quality of photos you’ll receive. We also chose a package that had a beautiful album and it is one of our favorite items from our wedding that we will cherish for a lifetime. If there’s something you’re going to go cheap on, don’t let it be your photos because photos will help you relive that special day. Moreover, choose a photographer that is skilled enough to give you beautiful photos, and perceptive enough to give you not only beautiful photos, but photos that mean something special to you! People always comment on how beautiful the light is in our photos, or how it looks out of bridal magazine but when I look at our photos it brings me back to the exact moment we took them and helps me cherish a moment in time that truly goes by so quickly! We couldn’t be happier with our experience with Megan Montalvo Photography and I sincerely hope you take the time to reach out to Megan and let her help you memorialize your love, your family and anything that is near and dear to your heart!

y our photographer who gave us stunning photos, but she also acted as our coordinator. She helped us through the permitting process and coordinated timing and location with us and our officiant. We simply had to show up. Megan made us laugh and feel comfortable in front of the camera. We couldn’t be happier with our photos. Thank you, Megan for everything!

g and rentals had to be booked individually and somehow sinc-up with a non traditional wedding venue. Megan was so helpful and immediately made us a timeline. We spoke at length about what was important to us and she tailored a plan for our perfect day. With unexpected rain, she was able to keep us calm and confident and had back up plans in place to capture our first look and wedding party photos. We love every shot! On the day of, you want photographers that are creative, smart, organized, discreet, and flexible. Megan is simply the best and the end results blew us away! We are coming up on our year anniversary and it is the greatest feeling to be able to look back on all of the wonderful moments from that day. We couldn't be happier with our experience or our photos!

e pulled it off without Megan. She knew the land like the back of her hand and had back up plans in case the weather turned bad. She was laid back and so easy to love! We had just about every season that day, from beautiful fall colors to snow and she captured it perfectly. She went above and beyond and I’m so thankful that we found her!

on The Knot. Megan’s response time exceeeded my expectation and she wanted to set up a FaceTime session immediately, which I truly appreciated! From our first interaction, I was really impressed with her personable demeanor and her photography knowledge and passion. She was very transparent with her style and thoroughly answered all questions I had (and I had A Lot)! My husband is more reserved and not a huge fan of having pictures taken, but he became very comfortable in front of the camera shortly after the start of our engagement shoot thanks to Megan’s laid back personality. She really catered to our needs and our comfort level! After our engagement session we were so excited for our wedding and knew that she was the best one for the job and that we would have the most beautiful photos to help us always relive and remember all the special moments of the day. We were absolutely right! Megan took the most breathtaking photos as well as made sure that my husband and I snuck little moments in just the two of us throughout the night in the midst of the crazy a wedding day brings. Our favorite photos (it was sooo hard to narrow down) are beautifully displayed on a wall in our living room and we are still giddy when looking at them! She captured all the moments that we will forever cherish! I will definitely use Megan for all my future professional photography needs!

and her reviews and photos were incredible, and I am so happy we put our trust in her! She was with us every step of the way, from helping us choose our location for what we envisioned to coordinating things the day of. She was flexible, fun to work with, and her work did not disappoint! Our wedding photos were AMAZING. Our entire family is still raving about them a month later! I absolutely plan on working with her again in the future, and will make the trip to Washington in a heartbeat to do so. I highly recommend Megan for your elopement or any of your portrait needs!

n incredibly friendly and comfortable to work with, but she is straight up MAGIC with the camera. When I received the gallery I was stunned to find that I LOVED every. single. picture. Each shot was expertly composed and looked like it came out of a dream. I had more than a few people tell me that my engagement photos were the best ones that they had ever seen. You will absolutely not regret hiring Megan as your photographer.

oors of the PNW. Megan was all of this and more. From the beginning, she put us at ease and we were so impressed by her organization and attention to detail. She was flexible, working with us to make sure we got what we wanted for a price within our budget. Our engagement session with her solidified our decision to have her as our wedding photographer. She made us feel natural in front of the camera and truly captured the spirit of our relationship and the beautiful surroundings that we love. For our wedding, she perfectly captured the emotion and "feel" of our outdoor wedding and we are so pleased with our photos. Not only is Megan an excellent photographer and incredibly organized, but she's also so down-to-earth and someone we want to spend time with in the future!

and don’t have to stress about when everything is supposed to happen 😊

of our guests, our special moments, and the beauty of our venue. We saw it all through our wedding album. And as we share the images with loved ones, the response was unanimous: "your photographer was amazing!"

o respond, affordably priced, and very pleasant to work with. We will be booking again for future photos.

more than the ability to technically take excellent photos. It takes tact in handling many situations and personalities, excellent time management, a positive yet professional personality, ability to communicate effectively, coming up with poses on the spot. Megan does all of this with flying colors. Immediately, I knew I would be asking her to also work with me - because she is outstanding! Don't let her kind, calm demeanor fool you....she's not just chillin' - she's on the BALL balancing a million things like a CHAMP!

he best wedding photos they had ever seen! She is professional, gives great direction, knows how to have a good time while doing it, and has a great eye for backgrounds, colors, moods, everything. I had six bridesmaids, six groomsmen, lots of family and overall, 130 guests. She brought an assistant photographer who also did a great job. She asked for lots of detail beforehand (who we needed formal photos of, any awkward situations to avoid, etc) ahead of time so when it was time to take formal family shots after the ceremony, she zipped through it. Also, I am not a natural in front of the camera but she knew how to work with me, get me loosen up and capture me in the most flattering light. The formals were great, she got a lot of candids and seemed to go out of her way to make sure she got some of our family members too which is so nice to have. I can't recommend Megan enough! Also, I am so happy to support a young entrepreneur!

ictures you’ll ever see. She made my husband and I feel very at ease in front of the camera with her fun personality, which comes across as genuine laughter and smiles in our pictures. She was also very organized with our timeline, kept everyone on track, and created a stress-free day. I would hire Megan for any future photography in a heartbeat.

nt, there were two things I had to have: A wedding dress that I adored, and a phenomenal photographer. And from the very beginning that was Megan! Not only did she take breathtaking pictures, she also helped me plan my elopement - From suggesting hair/make up and florists to moving the pictures to Oregon so that we had sun on a very rainy day. I also want to speak to how comfortable she made Matt and I feel in front of the camera. Matt is in the military and to get him to smile in a picture is a job in itself. In fact, when I first contacted her, I ended the email with "While I'm the girl that cheeses too much, he's the one not to cheese at all". Therefore, when I received the gallery a few days ago, I was floored. Nearly 99% (give or take a little) had a very "smiley" husband. That's because of Megan and the techniques she uses. If you're looking for the wedding photographer (or anything else!) that is going to capture the love that you and your partner have, don't look any further - It's Megan!

(in which WE were so awkward and inexperienced, but Megan's fun personality and professionalism helped us get some beautiful shots), through the planning stages (she is truly a wedding GURU and helped us figure out how our day would flow well beyond photography details), and finally to the big day, we were so impressed by Megan and her team and always felt that we were in good hands. We had an out-of-town wedding and Megan was so excited to research the location and arrive to town early to scope out the best spots and light. She's great at thinking on her feet if the light isn't right or there's bird poop on the helipad (yes, you read that right). We love our photos and think you will love the photos you receive from Megan, too!

nd knows how to make anyone comfortable in front of a camera. Megan is also extremely adventurous and willing to try new things! I loved our wedding pictures so much I had her travel for a photo shoot with some of the animals at the sanctuary where I volunteer. She managed to perfectly capture moments between us and our animals which is no easy feat as they dont sit still for long! We hope to make it to WA soon for a session in the mountains. I can't wait to see her again!

photography needs! She is such a sweet person and truly enjoys what she does!

is so sweet and a true professional. Thank you Megan! ☺️

t the springs. She is extremely passionate about adventure and her job which shines through in the photos. She is also extremely professional, returning photos quickly. If you're looking for a high-quality experience we definitely recommend Megan.

onderful to work with. She makes you feel comfortable and makes you laugh for the precious photos that I will cherish for ever! I highly recommend her.
