Weddings With A Candid Style

You've probably already sat through enough posed-smile photos to last a lifetime. Whether you’re getting married at The Callaway Jewel or Emerson Fields, what you actually want is someone who can capture how it felt without making the wedding day revolve around the photos.
That's what I show up to do.

RECENT COLUMBIA AREA WEDDING VENUES

I’ve recently photographed weddings at the Columbia Country Club, the Daisy Farm, and Fox Hollow Weddings and Events. While weather and season impact the look of a final wedding gallery, viewing these different wedding days will help you imagine how yours might look on camera.

My stance on editing your wedding day: You chose your venue and wedding colors intentionally, so I feel strongly about editing your gallery true to the colors that were really there. Natural editing with soft warmth breathe life into your photos.

COLUMBIA WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

I've been photographing people for ten years, and the thing that never gets old is watching someone relax in front of the camera once they realize they don't have to perform for it. Most of my couples are based in Columbia and mid-Missouri, but I frequently travel to the New England area for weddings as well.

“Megan saw us for who we are and photographed us in a way that captures us. She made us introverts feel comfortable in front of the camera, helped out on the wedding day, and is so talented!”
