Megan was amazing through our whole wedding process. She did our engagement pictures and wedding pictures. She made us feel comfortable,so we were able to relax and be ourselves, which made all of the pictures turn out wonderfully! She was very professional, and easy to work with, she was open to suggestions, and made everything run smoothly the day of the wedding. I would recommend Megan to anyone who is looking for an amazing photographer! I wouldn't have had anything other than her! I am looking forward to doing more business with Megan in the future!
Megan's personality is simultaneously so relaxed and commanding. I felt totally at ease during our wedding day because she was there to ensure we captured all of the important, special moments. As a fellow photographer, I appreciated Megan's willlingness to allow us to be creative and fun.
We were looking for several things in a photographer-- someone creative, meticulous, upbeat, organized, and reasonably priced. M.linn studios (Megan) not only met all of the above but was outstanding in each category. Our photographs--whether they were posed, candid, or in motion, were unique, perfectly edited, and truly captured our day. Additionally, Megan was easy to work with and we were happy to have her around for the entire day. She did great at getting our large group to cooperate so we could get every shot right. After the wedding, we were impressed by how quickly we received our photos, and how special the package was. We received rights to all our photos, a slideshow, and instructions to pick out photos for an album, all included in our wedding package. I haven't heard a better deal for the price we paid, especially not with someone as qualified as Megan. As for organization and communication--Megan always responded right away when I needed to communicate during the process (for both engagement and wedding sessions), and was always organized with times/locations/people, etc. We could not ask for more and are so happy we chose her for our special day.
M.Linn Studios did an amazing job with both my engagment and wedding pictures!
Megan was amazing!! She is so much fun to work with and extremely flexible. She is affordable, too! I recommend her to everyone!
Megan is so friendly and sweet--my husband, wedding party, parents and I adored having her around! It is so easy to be comfortable with her. She gives us the rights to our photos and the day was smooth and easy. I'd highly recommend her to anyone!!!
Nearly everything that could have, changed the day of our wedding. We were supposed to do photos and the wedding outside. Except a freak storm brought rain, snow, sleet and hail...all sideways at 60 MPH that day! Megan not only rolled with it, she was a rock star! She helped us invent new places for photos at the drop of a hat, and even took some really fun photos that showed exactly how ridiculous the weather was, and how it changed everything, and how we all had such a blast in the process! We asked Megan to spend most of the time shooting candid shots that really captured the emotion of the day-the fun, the love, the crazy and how our friends and family were taking it all in. The photos we got well exceeded what we could have ever hoped for in that regard, and they are something we will cherish forever. Megan is more than someone we hired, she took the time to get to know us, and became a friend. You don't find many people who really care about their clients like that!
Megan is a great photographer. If you are looking for an outdated approach and boring photographer, definitely look else where because she has a fresh approach to wedding photography that captures moments you do not want to forget. She was the ability to catch all the little details that you wouldn’t think about having a photograph of. I am not the type of person that likes the standard standing in front of the church photographs. She catered her services to catch all the behind the scene/non posed pictures and they turned out wonderful. Her price and turn around time is outstanding. Megan was a joy to work with and by the end of my wedding day I felt like we had been friends forever. I guarantee you that she will provide you photographs that will make you cry remembering the moment and laugh so hard because you can’t believe she captured the funny things. I would recommend her to anyone and I absolutely cherish the photographs of my wedding day.
Megan was wonderful! I have so many wonderful shots from our day! She was so helpful and provided us with several shots we were not expecting but those are the one which turned out the best, one of my husband crying th first time he same, one peaceful shot of my dad as he is waiting to walk me down the isle and sooooo many awesome ones of me and my husband! I couldn't be happier!we get compliments all the time! Reasonably priced and totally worth every penny!
I had so many favorite photos, where do I start?!?! We had many that were taken in the capital building with such beautiful lighting and colors, so many of those are my favorite. I also loved the candid ones of us and the wedding party, along with the posed ones. We had terrible weather on our wedding day, so all of the photos had to be indoors. Megan did a great job of coming up with ideas for different indoor venues to capture photos. She was also very creative with posing and not making our photos look too staged and uniform (which I loved) There were so many more candid photos than I even knew she took. Megan did a great job of making my husband and I be natural in front of the camera, which made for some great photos!! I also loved the photos of all of the "wedding day details" which are the little things that you would most likely forget years down the road without a photo. Our package included an engagement session, rights to all of the photos (engagement and wedding) a DVD photo slideshow, and a printed album. Very reasonable pricing too! Having the rights to the photos is PRICELESS!!!!
Overall, we were very, very pleased with Megan and her work!!! Highly recommended!!
We were so thankful to have found a photographer that was so reasonable in price and also so talented. Looking at her past work and website, we were very impressed with the creativity and quality of work she presented! She was able to capture so many special moments. We have our wedding pictures all over our house and we are always getting compliments on how beautiful they are.
I would recommend Megan to capture any special moments in your life. My husband I are expecting our first child this fall and I would love for her to continue the tradition of capturing the most amazing moments in our life! I cherish each picture we have today and can't wait to show our baby girl how beautiful of a wedding we had. Megan thankfully was able showcase our day through her extrodinary work!
Megan's affordable package includes so much compared to other photographers in the area. We recieved engagement photos at two locations that came with a DVD, wedding photos that covered the preparation to the dance with a DVD, and a beautiful leatherbound album. Her quality and color of her pictures is beautiful. I especially liked her artisitc flair. She was able to capture moments that I couldn't have seen like the look on my mom's face when we hugged during the ceremony. She also took us outside of town to gorgeous grassy plains; this is the picture we enlarged and have hanging in our living room. We feel so blessed to have such great memories of our day. Thank you Megan!!
Megan was a wonderful part of our wedding day. She is so open and receptive and full of great ideas. I did not have a lot of plans of what I wanted for wedding photos so I gave creative freedom and all of my trust to Megan. She did not disappoint. I have tons of variety, with my husband and I in many different locations and times throughout the day, great pictures of my wedding party, my bridesmaids and I, Nathan and his groomsmen, us with our families! Both candid and posed. There is a candid of my mother and I after the wedding that she captured that was such a special moment, and we had no idea she was photographing it, such a real and beautiful picture! I have since recommended Megan to all friends and family getting married and have Megan photographing my newborn son! There's no one else I would trust to that job, she does fantastic work!
SAVE YOUR MONEY!!! When Megan was photographing our wedding she ended up missing A LOT of important shots, ie she didn’t photograph the bride’s train, she only took one picture of the bride and groomsmen together and failed to photograph things that we asked her specifically to do (these are just a few examples). Megan walked around as if she was bored and had more important things on her mind then what was actually taking place. The bridal party and family members were all committing about her lack of interest and they tried to come up with ideas for her to photograph. Megan used very little if any creativity. We were also told by Megan we would have over a 1,000 pictures for 6 hours that actually ended up being less than 800 and many of those were the exact same pose! When emailing Megan about our concerns with our pictures, she told us she was sorry and that she uses a “mental list” (her words not ours) and it’s not always perfect. She also tried to compare our wedding with the photo’s she didn’t get at her wedding. I'd also like to mention that the wedding album we received was very misleading. We expect pictures printed out and placed in an album. What we got was a printed photo book that you can make on your computer. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND!
Megan is incredibly talented and a lot of fun.
Megan was awesome to work with! She got some GREAT shots and the pictures turned out fabulous! She was very professional but also funny which helped everyone feel more comfortable. She captured one of my favorite moments of the day, sitting with my husband under a beautiful stained glass window before our ceremony, in a perfect intimate shot. I will be calling her again in the future for couples portraits!
One of my top priorities for my wedding was getting a good photographer and for the right price. I've always loved photos and my parents saw the price of photos, not the quality. Megan had the style I loved and at a good price - which included the rights to ALL the photos. How awesome is that? It may not include prints, but you save a ton by being able to print them yourself/put them on facebook, etc without having to violate the copyright. Megan was great to work with and I love my wedding pictures and engagement pictures (which were included with my wedding package). Also, my wedding was about 4 hours away from M.Linn studios, so she drived all that way there and back the same day. I paid for mileage but it was still cheaper than getting a photographer of the same quality/style in my area. M.linn studios was exactly what I was looking for!
