About this vendor
I blend documentary and editorial styles to give you the best of both worlds—authentic, unscripted moments paired with gently guided, elevated portraits. My goal is to create a gallery that feels true to you: full of emotion, connection, and all the big and in-between moments that tell your story. I rely more on natural prompts than stiff poses, helping you feel relaxed so your photos look genuine, effortless, and full of life. And yes—I’m a big fan of artsy shots (blurry, out-of-focus, and all the fun creative stuff!), but I’ll always tailor the gallery to the style you love most.

We had the best experience with Meg! She was so fun and made us feel comfortable from our engagement shoot all the way through the wedding day. She has an amazing eye for unique sh...
ots, was flexible with our schedule, and helped keep us on track with out schedule of events. Even after the wedding, she was incredibly patient with all of the small changes I wanted to make to our à la carte items. We love how our photos turned out and couldn’t recommend her more!
Absolutely LOVED Meg!!! She made the day go so smooth by helping me with the timeline and easing my nerves on the big day. She is so personable and funny! Meg really listens to you...
r vision and input to help create the most magical day. Our pictures were just beautiful and we could not recommend Simply Captivating Photography more! She is the BEST and I would hire her again in a heartbeat. Reasonable prices and great quality images!
From the very beginning, Meg exceeded every expectation we had for a wedding photographer. She and her team were incredibly flexible, supportive, and attentive throughout the entir...
e process, starting with our engagement photos. The arrangements she made for those shots were amazing, and the final images were so beautiful that they elevated the entire package and made us even more confident that we had chosen the right person.
On the wedding day itself, Meg brought the perfect balance of professionalism and ease. She has a way of making people feel comfortable in front of the camera, which was especially important for us since we are not trained models and posing does not come naturally. Instead of adding pressure, she diffused any stress or anxiety and turned the experience into something fun and relaxed. It never felt forced, and because of that, the photos captured our true personalities and the emotions of the day.
One of the moments that meant the most to us came the very next morning. As we were waking up and still processing everything that had just happened, Meg had already sent us a sneak peek of our photos. It was an incredible gift to see those first images so quickly, and it allowed us to relive the magic of the day while it was still fresh in our minds. Soon after, she delivered the complete gallery, and it left us speechless. The totality of the pictures captured every detail, every emotion, and every memory in a way that we could not have imagined.
What makes our connection to Meg even more special is how natural it felt to have her as our photographer. She herself was married in New Orleans, where we live, and she spent her summers vacationing in Michigan, which is where we held our wedding. It felt like such a perfect sequence of events that led us to her. There was a sense of shared connection and understanding that made the experience all the more meaningful.
We truly cannot thank Meg enough for everything she did for us. She created timeless memories that we will cherish for the rest of our lives, and she did it in a way that made the journey as enjoyable as the result. Choosing Meg was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding, and we will always be grateful for the artistry, care, and joy she brought to our celebration.
We absolutely loved using this company! Very personal and captured our engagement & wedding perfectly!

Meg truly exceeded our expectations as our wedding photographer. From the initial consultation to the big day, she made the entire process seamless and stress-free. Meg's professio...
nalism was evident, but what truly set her apart was her ability to inject a sense of fun and relaxation into the atmosphere, which our parents absolutely adored.
Meg was incredibly communicative throughout the planning stages, ensuring she understood our vision and preferences. She and her colleague Colbe were a joy to work with on the wedding day. They effortlessly captured every moment, and their keen eye for detail and unique perspectives resulted in breathtaking photos that we will cherish forever.
Meg's talent behind the lens is undeniable, but her warm personality and dedication to making her clients feel comfortable make her stand out. We couldn't be happier with our decision to choose Meg as our photographer, and we wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in need of capturing their special moments with grace and skill.
Meg is one of my favorite vendors from our wedding! She made us feel comfortable in front of the camera along with being able to handle my large family for formal pictures. She ma...
de our opinions hear and valued which we did not have with other options we looked at. Our wedding day also was very cold and windy but she still managed to help the bridal party smile. We are so lucky to be able to look at such beautiful wedding photos to look back on. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a great photographer.

r. She was honest, fun, and had a special eye for capturing our big day. She has a special way of making you feel comfortable and like you’ve known her your whole life. We absolutely love our wedding photos and even though we were limited with some outdoor photos because of rain, Meg made it work and gave us amazing photos! We are very blessed to have her as our photographer!
Meg is hands down THE BEST!! I found her through my friend who got married and I loved her from the moment I met her at that wedding and knew I needed her as my photographer at my ...
wedding. She made me and my now husband feel so comfortable in front of the camera at both the engagement shoot and on our wedding day and her vision was immaculate. She is so professional and knows when to be serious and when to laugh a little. I could not have imagined better pictures if I tried. I would recommend her a million times to anyone and everyone. She is going to be my go-to photographer!
Meg is FANTASTIC. I knew as soon as I talked with her and met her for our engagement photos that she was it. I felt like I knew her forever, that's how comfortable she makes you. O...
n my wedding day, she in action is the best. She goes above and beyond and captures your day in the most memorable way. This moment is how above and beyond and I hope she doesn't mind me sharing but this sums up how much your day means to her. I did a first look with my son and of course, no one had tissue and I was balling my eyes out. This lady pulled up her dress and used it as a tissue to dry my face, butt hanging out in all. lol, I tell you if you aren't sure about someone for your special day. She is it!!!!! Love you girl!!!
Meg is one of the first vendors we booked because I knew I had to lock her down before someone else did! Not only is Meg so much fun to work with, her work is truly incredible. I c...
ried so many times while looking at out photos because they are so beautiful and captured our day perfectly! We will cherish our pictures forever and I am so grateful we booked Meg!
Aside from my husband, Meg was my favorite person to have at our wedding. From the first time we chatted over Skype, I knew I had to have her for our day! She is kind, funny, and r...
idiculously talented, and she can roll with the punches better than anyone I've met. She is able to mesh with so many different personalities to make sure everyone is comfortable, and that was huge for us since so many of our people hate having their picture taken. Meg was flexible and willing to do some traveling for us on our wedding day, and had me prepared ahead of time in case it rained (which it did) and thanks to her, I never once panicked- I knew I would have incredible memories captured no matter what the weather was doing. Trust me when I say to pick her- I know I will again and again for future milestones!

I knew I had to have her for my wedding! She created a timeline and helped keep everything on time. She helped bustle my dress, fix my make up and hair and was overall makes sure you both are looking good. She truly makes you feel beautiful! Thank you so much Melissa!!

day. Craig did a great job with our engagement shoot. We really wanted winter snow pictures and they made it work on a one day notice! All of our pictures turned out absolutely gorgeous and both Craig and Meg were so easy going and wonderful to work with. We could not be more happy with the experience. We would most definitely recommend Simply Captivating.

t after meeting with her, I knew she was the perfect photographer for our special day! She is an awesome photographer and individual with a fun personality. I remember being nervous about taking engagement pictures, since I had never really taken professional pictures before, but she made my husband and I feel very comfortable from the very beginning. She is not afraid to touch/interact with whoever is in the pictures in order to get the perfect shot. She also is not afraid to yell 'make-out with each other' in order to get those perfect, passionate poses you see on pinterest! I am so thankful for all of the memories my husband and I have from our engagement photo session and wedding day. I would recommend Meg and her team to anyone!! Thanks for everything Simply Captivating Photography!!
Simply Captivating Photography was fantastic! They braved the heat and rain and did not dissapoint! The pictures are amazing! Will use them again!

ur day was rainy and I did not think twice about how the pictures were going to turn out, she had great indoor shots and ideas. She is great at commanding a room to get those "must have" pictures taken in a timely manner. I would absolutely recommend using this photographer, she is very prompt on turnaround time as well. Could not be more impressed with the service I received on my wedding day!
I do not think it is possible to tell you how much I loved working with Meg and how absolutely amazing my pictures turned out!!
First of all, Meg was willing to do our engagemen...
t session in January with a cold when it was seven degrees out...if that wasn't impressing enough, the pictures were great!
Now the wedding! In the couple weeks before the wedding, I could not figure out a timeline and was starting to freak out, but Meg sat down and planned a perfect day of itinerary, which I handed out to everyone involved, that could not have been more perfect! The day of, she arrived on time and was really great to work with...we didn't even know she was there half the time.
Both Meg and Lauren took absolutely beautiful photos and I could not be any happier with the pictures from my wedding...the lighting, the poses, the handling of my crazy bridal party lol. Thank you Meg and Lauren for the amazing pictures of my wedding!!! People haven't stopped complimenting!
I found Simply Captivating Photography at a Wedding Show- and I'm so lucky I did! Meg is amazing, and it felt like I had a friend with me taking photos throughout my wedding day. I...
ncluded in my price I was able to have engagement photos taken and a leather bond photo album made- in addition to 8 hours of service on my actual wedding day. Meg helped keep me and everyone relaxed during photos and the pictures turned out great! She never took things too seriously, or even acted like she was "working"- instead she genuinely seemed to love what she was doing. I would highly recommend her and her services for your photos on your big day!
Megan and her team were awesome to work with! They are friendly and made our wedding day so so much fun! I would definitely recommend simply captivating to other brides!!!

made my fiancé and I feel so comfortable throughout the photo shoot and we had a blast! I met with several photographers prior to choosing Simply Captivating.

I was impressed with how quickly we got our pictures back and how awesome they looked! I can't wait for our wedding pictures!

r. Her communication was great. She tried to be of help in every part of the day and took great shots too. She has a great eye for unique pictures that will be like no one else's! I would definitely recommend her. You will not be disappointed.
Megan is not your typical senior taking photographer. Her style does not include a studio, but using the world as her canvas. She makes the experience very relaxed and easy going....
Megan made me laugh so much which made the pictures turn out fantastic. She is reasonably priced and takes fantastic, unforgettable senior pictures.

for the perfect shot and knows how to corral the people into the photo. Meg is really great to work with, any questions or issues (which there weren't any) were easily resolved via email or text.
