RAW, HONEST ARTISTIC STORYTELLING. A story is something that is told for generations. It is something that makes you feel. It is timeless. It is honest. It is real. I capture the organic, small, imperfect, and emotional moments that tell the story of your wedding. I want you to relive it as if you were there. I capture the in-between moments that make, you, you. The laughter, the loud, + quiet moments. The moments that matter. I create artistic + unique portraits using landscapes, architecture + given light. When a distant relative discovers your wedding album tucked away in an attic long after the cake has been eaten, the flowers have become the earth again and your dress has turned a different shade, your photographs show your day frozen in time.
We take photos that matter. We also create art that feels more than just a photograph.
For contemporary couples with elevated taste.

Choosing Megan Saul as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we made. Her artistry is unmatched—she has an extraordinary eye for composition and lighting, capturing moments in a natural and candid way. Every photo feels like a work of art, layered with emotion and intention.
Megan’s ability to make us feel at ease leading up to the wedding day and on the day of was incredible. She guided us when needed but also let the magic of the day unfold naturally. I loved how efficient she made our family portraits so that my husband & I could get back to enjoying our cocktail hour and live in the moment with our friends and family. Her vision brought out the best in every setting, every moment—transforming our wedding day into something more beautiful than we could have imagined.
She doesn’t just take photos; she tells stories through her lens, and we’re so grateful she told ours. Megan deserves every bit of the hype and more. If you want someone who can create art from your most meaningful moments, look no further!!

Megan was truly a joy to work with. From her attention to detail to her artistic style, we could not be more happy with the product she delivered to us. We were looking for a special photographer to capture an anniversary photoshoot for my husband and I, and Megan was the perfect person for the job. She was incredibly fun to work with and we really loved her editing style. She made us feel special and we spent the day laughing together. We would absolutely book again with Megan and will cherish the photos she took forever.

I can’t recommend Megan Saul Photography enough for our wedding!
On the wedding day, Megan and her team exhibited exceptional communication and service, providing clear direction and helping the day flow seamlessly. Their calming presence made us feel at ease. With a unique style that blends elegance and authenticity, the results are stunning and timeless. I’m beyond grateful for their incredible work!
Highly Recommend the Engagement Photo Session! Helped get us connect with Megan and get comfortable with the camera.

Megan’s work is beautiful and her attention to detail through out the process is awesome. We appreciated her guidance and recommendations in terms of shooting locations and posing. She was fun, energetic and easy to work with. Her second shoot Deepal was a wonderful as well. Our engagement session photos were truly beyond what we could have hoped for and we can’t wait to see how they captured our big day!

My husband and I were looking for a photographer to capture our raw, true love. We wanted something tangible to reflect back on and to feel the emotions we felt during the photoshoot. We found Megan and we were so happy we did! She gave us everything we wanted during the photo session and the photos are phenomenal. We requested a boudoir/lifestyle photoshoot and Megan listened to what we were looking for and she delivered! Megan made us feel super comfortable and made me feel confident and empowered. We love that Megan let us be us for these photos. We wanted more of a free flowing, less directional, photoshoot and Megan was so easy to work with and sprinkled in her magic throughout the shoot. We were beaming from ear to ear after the photoshoot. If you’re looking for more of a posed/directed photoshoot Megan is your girl as she is just a phenomenal photographer and can basically do anything you request! She does great work and we would recommend her over and over again! We can’t wait to work with her again!

Working with Megan was magical. From our first phone call, she was incredibly professional and easy to talk to. She’s an expert in her field, and also gave the best wedding planning advice.
When it comes to her actual work, be prepared to be completely speechless, and in awe of her brilliance.
You’ll fall in love with her as a person, and you’ll be totally enamored with the art work that she creates.
Our engagement photos are magazine worthy!!!!!We’ve seen a sneak peek of our wedding day photos and I couldn’t control my emotions. Your story will be told through her vision.. and you will
not be disappointed.
We hired her as our wedding photographer and we’re walking away with a new friend!

Megan Saul was so fun to work with. She’s creative, daring, and organized. She basically acted as another day of planner and helped me make my entire day of timeline. Our wedding photos turned out absolutely beautiful and perfect. I still look back at them frequently even though the wedding was half a year ago.

WE LOVE OUR PICTURES.
Megan delivered stunning images of our day - and provided a balance of emotion capturing, artistry, and a volume of documentation shots that captured our day so wonderfully from the details to the dreams. The work you'll receive is true to her portfolio, so if you love her style, you'll love your gallery.

Megan Saul is an incredible photographer. Fate truly brought us together and I knew she would understand our vibe immediately! She captured so many wonderful moments of our day, put our unique spin on our photos, and I laugh every time I look back at our moody photo booth pictures! She was truly more than a photographer to us but a friend through the whole experience. I couldn't recommend her enough!

Megan Saul was extremely professional and made what is often a stressful process enjoyable! She has a great eye for detail and composition, resulting in photographs that were flattering, intimate, and truly captured the moment, as well as capturing those beautiful moments which would've been easily missed by someone with less passion and dedication. The quality of her photography went above and beyond expectations and the pricing was very fair, even generous when compared to others we considered. She is meticulous and streamlines the process to avoid any mishaps and won't waste your time. Megan has a great demeanor, communicates effectively, listens to concerns both big and small, and addresses any issues immediately. I highly recommend her for any event, not only weddings. She's very thoughtful and conscience that these photographs are for a lifetime and it shines through her work. You won't be disappointed! I consider myself an extremely particular person with high expectations and Megan rose to the occasion. Her portfolio is stunning and I couldn't be more satisfied with our photos.

Megan helped make our incredible wedding day -- the happiest day of our lives -- something we can cherish forever. Her photography not only captured the day's spirit but also all the sudden instances that now help us recall how emotional it was. Her attention to detail and her eye for angles, lighting, and composition are uncanny. We'll look at these photos for years and will forever be thankful to Megan for putting her heart and soul into everything she does, including our wedding. On top of all that, she is absolutely pro: she takes pride in her work and delivers only the best product and service. I could not recommend her any higher.

Exactly what we were looking for.
I must have gone through three dozen portfolios looking for a wedding photographer. We didn’t want your typical run of the mill cheesy pics but rather ones that really tapped in to us a couple. The pictures Megan took had depth and really captured our feelings in that moment. Highly recommend.

Megan was so great to work with! She helped me on a tight turnaround for a gift, and it turned out perfectly. On the day of the shoot, she made me feel at ease and like a total bad ass - but she was also honest when something didn’t look quite right. She’s a very laid back perfectionist! I’d highly recommend her for any photography needs.

Megan Saul is the real deal. My husband and I eloped in 2016 with our immediate families in the woods of Wisconsin. We knew Megan would be the perfect fit immediately! First of all, she's up for anything (seriously - she'll travel anywhere) and when things ran behind schedule she was able to create some stunning portraits right then and there. Second, she took the time to learn our ideas and wishes and we felt completely comfortable around her (this was especially important with our 6-person guest list!). Third - and maybe most important - we knew we didn't have to worry about the photos. Megan knows what she's doing. She doesn't have a bunch of fancy camera tricks, but rather captures the day as is with a unique and artistic perspective. This is exactly what we wanted, and we couldn't be happier with the result!! THANK YOU, Megan!!

I saw Megan's work through a mutual friend and contacted her regarding our upcoming wedding. At the time, my fiance and I had moved from Chicago and were residing in Florida. Megan was very accommodating to our requests and was quick to respond. Because we were in different states, we set up skype dates to discuss pricing and what we both wanted to get out of the photos. We instantly clicked and I was ecstatic to have her photograph our big day.
Additionally, Megan also met with us while we were in town for the holidays and she was even able to squeeze in an engagement session prior to our big date that following summer. Both the engagement session and Wedding day photos were everything we wanted AND MORE.
I already recommend her to everyone that I know and I want to spread the word that she is worth it. She was great with capturing every moment and every individual. Going through the photos just now brings tears to my eyes. Thank you Megan!

Megan was truly awesome! She is assertive and will get things done. She listens to what you want the day to look like and what you would like for her to document and she delivers that and more! Do not hesitate to contact her and book her, our pictures are a dream come true! A bonus was that she loved my kitties and took amazing pictures of them :)

There are not enough words to describe Megan's storytelling. She captured everything I could have ever dreamed of, and more, for my wedding. From the little details on my dress, to the tears running down my great grandmothers cheek, to the way the moon and the stars shined up above as we said our goodbyes to our guests... she caught it all. Megan is a storyteller, she is a dream maker, your very own genie-in-a-bottle. Work with Megan, tell her your ideas, let her tell you hers... and watch magic happen. Thank You, Megan, for capturing these moments for my family, for my childrens childrens children. You are a blessing.

Megan took some honeymoon photos of my husband and I while we were exploring New Zealand. I am typically superrrr shy in front of the camera, but Megan's approach made me feel very comfortable. She is so amazing at creating and capturing genuine moments. It felt like a close friend was photographing me. We did a sunrise session and my husband is NOT a morning person, but he said it was so worth it. I can't wait to have Megan photograph us again.

We are SO thrilled with the photographs we got back from Megan from our wedding. We spent so much time looking for the right photographer for us and after meeting Megan we realized she'd fit in perfectly with our days feel. Her and her team spent a good amount of time making sure our timeline was perfect for the day. We really wanted to avoid rushing through any part of it and we're happy we had her to make sure it all worked out smoothly! Our photos made us and our family cry. The slideshow was such a perfect way to show them off too. There aren't really adequate words to describe how grateful we are to have her for our wedding day. Thank you Megan!! We love our photos! We are so excited for our album!

We used Megan Saul Photography for our wedding last fall and are so happy we did! After doing quite a bit of research we came across Megan's work and were instantly impressed. We didn't want to spend our wedding day posing but wanted moments captured organically and naturally.
All our photos convey the excitement and feelings of that day so beautifully. We are so grateful and will cherish them forever.

We loved our wedding photos by Megan Saul Photography! They captured our wedding day in such authentic and artistic ways. What an eye these women have! I loved how Megan and her team sat down and got to know us over coffee before our wedding in order to understand what was important to us. Jillian and Brittany photographed our wedding day, and they had such calm and warm personalities. They made my husband and me (who never have professional photos taken!) feel totally comfortable and in our own skin -- we honestly had fun! My husband and I really wanted our wedding day to be easygoing and joyful (not overpacked and stressed) and Megan and her team were exactly that, easygoing and encouraging yet also clearly experienced and prepared. Our family and friends wrote to us, after seeing our photos, about how much they truly captured the spirit of the evening and our personalities. They really did capture our favorite memories in the sweetest ways :) My husband and I were hoping to get some outdoorsy shots, some time together just the two of us, before our ceremony, and we were stunned by how beautiful these scenic photos turned out! Best of all, though, were the beautiful family portraits they took before our reception. The one of my family and my husband’s family all together is one that will be close to my heart forever. I’d recommend Megan Saul Photography to anyone!

If I had a dime for all of the photographers that came up as options for our wedding, I would be rich. There are SO many photographers to choose from nowadays that it can be quite overwhelming to decide on "the one" for a wedding. After doing a substantial amount of research and interviews, we stumbled upon Megan Saul due to a mutual friend we had in common. They say everything happens for a reason.. well it sure did! Instantly, my husband and I connected with Megan-- after getting a feel for who Megan Saul Photography was, we immediately understood that photography wasn't her job, it was her passion... which CLEARLY shows in her work. Additionally, Megan made us feel comfortable which results in even better photos :)
From month 10 to the day off, Megan was responsive, helpful and insightful. I often times found myself leaning on her for overall wedding advice, because, let's face it, she could also consider herself a "wedding expert" due to the sheer amount of weddings she's attended as a photographer. She knows what works best for photo ops (I've heard horror stories of friends who have gotten married and stated that their photographer was asking them what poses and shots they wanted next... WHAT!), is creative beyond belief and is patient, oh so VERY patient.
If you want an EXPERIENCED-world traveler (don't let that scare you, my wedding was in the middle of nowhere in Wisconsin and she was excited to shoot there!) photographer who can capture candid-emotional-beautiful-breath taking photos, Megan is your girl. You will NOT be disappointed.

MEGAN IS AMAZING! I hired here over a year before our wedding because after seeing her work, I KNEW I had to book her. She was super-easy to work with, and helped take charge on the day-of when I was having issues committing to a plan of action. She's very professional, she knows what she's doing, and the pictures are gorgeous. I can't recommend her enough. We aren't the type to hang pictures of ourselves around our house, but these pictures are definitely going on the wall. That's how you know she's worth it.

Megan Saul is truly amazing! I found Megan on Google, along with many other photographers. I submitted several inquiries to a few different photographers, but Megan responded immediately! Within the hour! It took several weeks to hear back from anyone else! She was super professional, but so down to earth and I find that is really important to me in finding a photographer. I wanted someone I was comfortable with, that I could talk to with ease, and could laugh and joke with. I was so impressed I booked her the next week for not along our wedding day, but also our engagement photos. She was extremely helpful in helping us considering locations and ideas! We had our engagement photo session in the museum campus. She made the whole experience so fun! We spoke regularly about the wedding details leading up to the wedding; it was so comforting to have her care so much! I knew I wanted to surprise my husband on our wedding day with a set of boudoir photos. She helped me find a location, got a hairstylist and makeup artist, and brought a bottle of wine and music to the session. It was seriously so fun! I don’t think I would have had so much fun and been so comfortable if it wasn’t for Megan! And to top it off, she put together the photos in this adorable little box and brought them to the wedding for me. And! She has an allergic reaction to one of the elements of my surprise and was in the ER the whole night before my wedding! All for me! Talk about someone who goes way above and beyond! Wedding day was amazing too! Even though she was up all night, she arrived on time and took endless amounts of amazing photos and made everyone in the wedding so comfortable and at ease! My friends and family raved about her personality (and still do!) and adore her work as much as I do. Beautiful work that I now have plastered all over our condo walls! When I got my photos, they brought tears to my eyes! STUNNING! I still get goose bumps when I look at them. To me, photography was the most important thing to me at my wedding. I would not, could not, have anything less than the best. The whole day flies by in such a blur that most brides and grooms don’t remember the day. I needed to have the photos from an incredible photographer to cherish that day forever. The single most common piece of advice I received from people, magazines, blogs, etc. was to delete my pinterest account leading up to the wedding. I heard over and over again that it would only lead to disappointment because my pictures would never turn out at beautiful as the ones on pinterest. I didn’t listen and I am so glad I didn’t! Megan gave me something so much better and more beautiful than anything I saw on pinterest! And I truly believe no other photographer would have been able to give me such incredible photos! Megan will always be our photographer and a close friend. Over a year later, she was one of the first people I went running to when I found out that my husband and I were expecting. Her happiness for us has been overwhelming and I continue to be blown away by her caring self. We plan to do maternity photos with her, she will photograph the labor and delivery, newborn photos, and many family photo sessions in the future too! I seriously cannot rave about her enough!! What is better than a truly talented and amazing photographer! Having that photographer grow to be a close friend and part of your family! I couldn’t recommend her more highly!

I hired Megan Saul to do a boudoir shoot for my wedding gift to my husband. I was a nervous wreck, yet Megan made it an absolutely great and comfortable time. She is so easy to work with and easy to talk with. Megan is willing to work with you and your budget! Photography is expensive and she was wonderful with working with me! I had my pictures done in a beautiful loft in the city of Chicago. Megan turned up the music and made it so much fun. I would absolutely recommend her to do your pictures! I do not have the "ideal" model figure, and when I received my pictures, I was absolutely stunned at how she captured me! It was natural and classy and I felt beautiful! Thank you Megan for such an amazing experience and FABULOUS gift for my husband! xox

My husband and I loved working with Megan & Josh! On the day of our wedding it was almost as if our good friends were photographing us, instead of one of those cheesy, stereotypical wedding photographers. We wanted our wedding photos to be creative, artistic and tell the story of our day and that is exactly what they provided. Each time we look at the collection of our wedding photos, it's almost as if we are watching a video of the day. For lack of better words, the pictures just seem like "us". Megan & Josh captured the raw emotion of not only my husband and I, but of the wedding party and guests as well. Some of our favorite photos are the natural and unstaged pictures of people laughing, crying, etc. We would recommend Megan and Josh to anyone looking for great photographers, and hopefully we will have the opportunity to work with them both in the future!

I hired Megan Saul Photography for my Fall wedding. My husband & I REALLY love Megan & Josh's artistic style and shot variety, but unfortunately I did not find this company easy to work with. Customer service was rough throughout the entire process. Megan was difficult to get in touch with and I felt like I had to work to keep things moving along. The most disheartening part of communication was that she would inconsistently communicate with me, but when I referred her to a friend she suddenly began reaching out to me consistently to find out if my friend was going to hire her. There was also many empty promises of communication during our contractual time (eg: 'I'll email you once all the photos have been uploaded," or 'I'll send you the tracking number for your package.') All of which never happened, causing me to either have to constantly check our uploading site or reach out to Megan again about the status of a shipment. Editing was also slightly disappointing. Lots of off-center family photos, pieces of hair in my face, dress flaws & missed background blunders. Sadly, my husband asked Megan if she had a 'final summary questionnaire' or preferred method of review and we never received a response. Overall, we are happy with the style & variety of our photos, but just felt that Megan Saul Photography did not value us as customers.

I can't take credit for discovering Megan. My husband, Dan, did all the research for our wedding photographer because he is a photographer and a designer. When he showed me Megan's work, I immediately said: YES, let's sign her up. We met with Megan and I definitely felt at ease that she would be great to work with for the wedding. I was totally right because on my wedding day, Megan was a ROCK for me. I'm a pretty laid back easy going person, but as my timeline was not working our perfectly and we needed to speed things up to get to our first look photos, I started to stress out. My best friend was there to help me calm down, but as I got into my dress for photos and put on my lace jacket to walk out the door, a few buttons on my jacket popped off. I felt like I would melt down. We were already running late and now this happened. Megan took charge right away and said: Who has a needle and thread? My mom produced the goods and Megan went to town. She totally sewed me back into my lace jacket and in the process, she soothed my nerves. I feel like this is a bonus, because she takes such BEAUTIFUL GORGEOUS PHOTOS! Our wedding photos don't look like everyone else's photos. They show our souls. It may sound corny, but it's true. I can't recommend Megan enough. She's a petite ball of awesome fire who has true artistic talent.

Megan was excellent for our wedding. She followed me on Pinterest so she knew the style I would want, and she delivered! She was creative, did well with some difficult groomsmen, and kept a positive attitude. She is always looking and thinking about creative photo ideas and gets very excited. Her pictures are unique, vintage, and creative. Exactly what we wanted for our day!
