We had a great experience on our wedding day! The shots are lovely and we had a great time with Meg. Definitely recommend! Thanks for all your thoughtfulness Megan Renae Studios!
Megan shot the photos for our engagement / wedding day. I cannot say enough great things! She is thoughtful, professional, bubbly and fun, but most importantly she takes the most amazing photos! Meg mad my me and my husband feel so comfortable in front of the camera... we had a lot of laughs and a lot of fun with her! She worked with us and was extremely flexible after our wedding plans were turned upside down during the covid-19 pandemic. Due to the restrictions of guests we decided to elope on Mackinac Island.. Because I did not have my wedding party, Meg was essentially my maid of honor! She helped me with everything... my flowers, getting into my dress, helping me touch up my make-up, making sure everything was in line at our venue, calming me down and telling me I look beautiful (lol) .... she went above and beyond to make our wedding day special. I would highly highly recommend her for any special event that you want to remember with joy and happiness.
Meg was amazing. She traveled out to Colorado to help us capture some special moments at the foot of our beloved mountains. She went above and beyond make us feel incredibly comfortable, beautiful, and at ease. Every detail was thought of and it was such a fun experience!
Ah Where to start... Megan was amazing and is a real professional. I emailed her LAST minute about possibly doing some elopement photos but was very wishy-washy about what we wanted. She helped nail everything down, and without seeming to be irritated, which I would totally have been. During the session she was cheerful, positive, and efficient. My husband even commented on how helpful it was that she gave us feedback on body placement. We are both pretty awkward when it comes to all things life but some how our photos came out AMAZING and we are very grateful!
I feel so fortunate to have found Meg through The Knot. We had a very short time to plan our wedding and photography is extremely important to me and my family. My sister initially found Meg’s profile and we were both drawn to her motto which is so vividly reflected in her beautiful images. She truly delivered “vibrant, classic and timeless” images.
After our first phone conversation I felt like Meg and I clicked and she knew exactly what I was looking for and what my priorities and concerns were as far as photography goes. We were able to meet her in person about a month before the wedding and she instantly put me at ease, which transferred to our wedding weekend. She made us all feel very comfortable being in front of the camera.
We were able to have Meg for all three days of our wedding weekend, this allowed us to truly enjoy and live in the moment with our family and friends for the entire weekend without having to worry about taking our own photos. Meg went above and beyond to capture all of our special memories and we are eternally grateful. I’m overwhelmed by the number of beautiful images Meg delivered. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for being such an integral part of our important weekend.
Megan is an amazing photographer! We did an engagement session with her a few months before the wedding and I was so impressed. She made the photo session easy and fun. The day of the wedding went very smoothly because of her. She knows how to get great photos without making you feel too posed. She was so great to work with and photographs were excellent. We highly recommend her!
Meg was absolutely awesome! She was my pick for our wedding long before I was even engaged. I was in a few weddings she photographed and I loved every thing about the way she does her work.
Her personality is amazing and she’s so great at her job. I look back to the best day of my life and am so happy meg was there to capture all of our moments
Megan photographed my engagement and wedding. I was blown away by all the pictures she had captured and how they turned out. I would suggest Megan Renae Studios to anyone!
Megan was by far the best choice I made while wedding planning. She did our engagement pictures and of course wedding pictures.
My new hubby and I don’t “do” pictures, we are super awkward and then you add two rambunctious children to the mix and you would think pictures would be “okay!” NO, Megan amazed me with her techniques and pure talent. She made the hubby and I feel NOT awkward and posed us perfectly. Posing is an art, and she knew just what to do in every situation. She worked with the kids like Wonder Woman——she took their rambunctiousness and used it to her power and made Family Engagement pictures WAY more fun and had some very creative ideas. The kids would find “props” and Megan being awesome found a way to incorporate them—they turned out to be some of my faves! She also endured some rough terrain during the engagement shoot in order to capture my ideas and wants! Even survived a family paint fight, and “shot” us in our element. That alone is amazing to me, because it was about US the entire process. She truly got our personality and love in every picture!
I could go on and on about the wedding but I would end up writing a book! We’ve gained a great friend and a new family photographer in Megan. She was so easy to work with, made things easy and zero stress! I would recommend her to everyone I know. I was a wedding planner back in the day and I would tell my couples the two most important vendors are photographers and DJs. After your wedding day all you have is pictures——so don’t skimp and get quality. I made the right choice with Megan 150%! Amazing doesn’t do her justice.
Meg was so much fun to work with!! She is so talented and made our day so much fun! Our pictures are AMAZING!! She captured everything that we wanted captured!!!
Meg is the best! She is so sweet and attentive but also knows how to get the job done and get people together and photograph ready when the time comes. We were amazed at her flawless attention to detail and how she captured so many candid and special moments that we now get to look back on and have forever! We support and recommend Meg in the highest regard.
Choosing Megan as our photographer was the best decision we made for our wedding day. She shot our proposal in August 2017 and we knew immediately that she would be the perfect photographer for our wedding. She is kind, bubbly and so enthusiastic, that she immediately makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera while reminding you to have fun all day!
I also did a separate bridal shoot with Megan before the big day which was a ton of fun. For someone who doesn't love to get her picture taken, I had a blast taking some more private photographs (which I had never thought I would do). I would highly suggest hiring Megan for any of your photography needs.
Meg goes above and beyond her duties as a photographer. She really cares about the couple, the timeline, and getting the best photos possible. She was SO easy to work with, that I was wishing she was my wedding planner. She's professional, and so very patient and empathetic. Another impressive element about her and her business is how organized she is. All the easy reminders and digital forms for getting questions answered on types of pictures, timeline details, and getting to know family members, was so valuable. Thank you Meg... you are amazing. Not only do you take fantastic photos, but I feel like you helped me to keep it together on the wedding day when things didn't go as planned... such as my hair and makeup, and the issues with the wind! I recommend you to everyone. They will not be disappointed... they will be impressed!! Thank you for all your extra efforts and time. I assure you, they mean a lot.
She was the BEST ever!!! Her creativity, friendliness and warmth made it easy to enjoy our day. I would hire and recommend her to anyone! You won’t be disappointed. Her ideas are fantastic and it showed in the photos.
I simply cannot say enough amazing things about Meg. She was such a joy to work with and captured the most special moments of our big day. She spent so much time chatting with me on the phone and via email to ensure that she really understood what we were looking for in the photos of our wedding day. We couldn't believe our eyes when we went through all of our photos. She and Kyle made us feel so comfortable and made our whole wedding party genuinely laugh and smile. Meg was able to perfectly capture the love and silliness my now husband and I were feeling that day, so much so that when we look at the photos, we can remember what we'd said to each other in those special moments. Meg has an incredible talent for capturing memories and she will forever be our photographer!
Going with Megan Renae Studios is the best decision my husband and I made for our wedding. She is professional and offers kind direction, which was great because we were able to get all of the pictures taken in a timely matter so we could get to our reception on time. She is very easy to work with and now my husband and I have BEAUTIFUL pictures that captured our wedding, and allow us to look back and remember how special the day was.
Our wedding was in September and it was amazing. And we have all the memories in our book. Megan had great ideas where to photograph us and all our family and friends loved her! She was able to guide my family where to stand so I didn't have to worry a bit. Since then she has been hired by my sister, friend, and cousin. She really knows her stuff. True professional and real gem! Thank you Megan! I'll be calling you for family photos!
Meg was incredible to work with! She was professional, fun, genuine, patient, organized and very kind. Meg met with me in advance of our wedding to get to know me and was completely in tune to the insecurities I expressed to her. She captured the most incredible moments from our day - I was speechless when reviewing our photos. She is very talented and her artistry is topped only by her authentic personality. We have a two year old son and she was phenomenal with him and all of our other family members. We will call her for every other special event that we encounter in life because I have no doubt that she is the perfect person to capture our memories on film!
Megan was absolutely amazing! She was very prompt at answering my messages ( even on Christmas day when I was was too eager to start wedding planning) she was very friendly and accommodating when the weather was not cooperating. She offered without asking the opportunity of retaking pictures on a "better" day if we were not able to get the pictures that I desired. She was able to think on her feet, when I was not able to meet with her prior to her photographing our wedding and did great! She has the "know how" to tell you when you will look good, or not so good, and has the professionalism to tweak your stance and position to make the pictures come out perfect! She stays cool, calm and collected and it was a great to have her there to support me on my wedding day
