PHOTOGRAPHY SERVICES
you’re getting married!
You’ve found your partner, your best friend, for life.
The person who is going to be with you through life’s highs and lows.
The person who will know and love you unconditionally.
I love this quote from Timothy Keller,
“To be loved but not known is comforting but superficial. To be known and not loved is our greatest fear. But to be fully known and truly loved is, well, a lot like being loved by God.”
Imagine all the joy and love on your wedding day — captured artistically & candidly with a nostalgic feel
Your wedding is first and foremost a day to celebrate your love story. No pressure to perform or impress — it’s a day full of once-in-a-lifetime moments you’ll want to soak up and never forget.
I come into your wedding with a “fly on the wall” approach, while still providing guidance for group shots and classic portraits, so that I can photograph the real emotions and fleeting moments as they unfold. This day isn’t about me at all, and I am so humbly honored to get to step into your wedding day as a photographer.
Local Weddings Begin at $3,250 — Destination Weddings Begin at $4,550

Photography collections begin with 8-hour coverage and include timeline planning assistance, and high-resolution images delivered via an online gallery. Some packages include: an engagement session, second photographer, and coverage up to 12 hours.

Life Milestones

Outside of weddings, I love getting to bring my same approach to photography through a range of sessions — graduates, families, and anniversaries to name a few. Sessions are $500 and include planning assistance for session location / concept and outfits.
“When I look at our photos, I see us having the time of our lives. Megan did such an amazing job, and the photos were everything I thought they would be. I can’t thank her enough for being such a big part of our day.”
-Taylor, 2021 BRIDE

Kind Words
"The photos are unbelievable.
I’ve been constantly scrolling through the gallery, and Megan couldn’t have done a better job. I’m reliving our wedding day and crying happy tears! What she does with photography is amazing.”
— Jasmine, 2020 BRIDE
"I was so happy when we got our engagement pictures back, and I knew that our wedding photos would be even better. Megan did not disappoint!!
We both loved that she made us feel natural and not forced to pose awkwardly. It was all so relaxed and she never made us feel rushed. She was so involved, but I never felt like she was intruding.”
— Sarah, 2021 BRIDE
Frequently Asked Questions
How far in advance do I need to book?
My clients typically book with me 8 to 12 months in advance; however, I have on occasion booked weddings just a few months prior. I only schedule 2 weddings per month, so I highly recommend you contact me about your date sooner than later.
Do you travel outside Missouri? Are there travel fees?
Yes! I frequently travel outside the Midwest. For destination wedding package, my travel fee is incorporated into your package price. No hidden fees or extra travel coordinating on your part.
Are engagement sessions included in photography packages?
My smallest wedding package, the Keep It Simple package, does not include an engagement session. All other packages include this service.
I have a big family. Will you be able to get good family photos?
Out of all the photo planning we’ll do together, family photos is where we’ll give a lot of focus. It’s rare that you have your whole family together, and I will ensure we make the most of it! I’ll guide you through this, so we have a set shot list before the wedding day, and we don’t miss anything.
