hello there!
I'm Meghan. And behind the lens I am a wife to my husband Alex (also my wedding assistant and second shooter!), dog mom to the sweetest boys, and travel enthusiast. I am most likely planning our next road trip or overseas destination!
Inspired by a one-month road trip out west - where we lived and slept in nothing but a van, we decided to make the leap to live tiny on wheels for one year straight! Although we now are settled into that domesticated life, we still love to hit the road anytime adventure calls.

I'm an even mix of a homebody and adventure-seeker. I love me a good backyard hang after work with Alex and the dogs, grilling out, & cozying up together to find a show at night. On free days I love to get out and about, whether that's exploring new nature spots, restaurants/cafés, wineries, or a beach day with the dogs. But even just a simple walk to the local farmer's market does wonders for my soul!
I always love to ask people what their favorite trip near or far is, because it always gives so much insight into who they are! While I absolutely love Italy (my artsy photographer self is very happy here), if I had to choose a favorite overall vibe, it would be the time we spent 10 days in a campervan around Iceland. Or even the profound experience I had on our road trip to Montana / Glacier National Park. I discovered my deep love for the mountains (something I have not experienced growing up in Wisconsin haha)! I've since realized there is no better therapy for me than being in nature or immersing myself in a challenging hike to a summit view. If I could chose any hiking spot in Wisconsin it would be Devil's Lake for that reason!
Throughout our travels, I've developed a passion for seeking the unique beauty in all types of environments. When a camera is in my hands, whether for travel or weddings, I'm always maximizing locations and looking for the best angles and light. Add in an excited newly engaged or wed couple as my subject and nothing brings me more joy than making your portraits a true work of art and legacy.
Socially, I’m laid back, but I have a serious Type A work mentality. I am detail-oriented and LOVE going above and beyond to make other people happy and feel at ease, especially on their most important day! I am so genuinely excited for you and the beginning of your new journey. Through planning my own wedding I found I truly love the wedding industry, and all the joy, beauty, and love that surrounds it!

As a believer in happily ever afters and pretty much every rom com ever, I knew my heart belonged with the wedding industry. When you combine madly in love couples with all the pretty, creative details that go into planning the biggest, most beautiful day...? Sold. I knew I wanted to share and be a part of this world, other's lives, to give people something they can hold on to and treasure for the rest of their lifetime.
I've always been a romantic and creator at heart, and after planning my own wedding I knew my heart belonged with the wedding industry. There's something so exciting about being able to share a part in one of the most special days of someone's life, and capturing their story and the memories of their day for them to hold on to forever. There is nothing more beautiful than two people in love, and then when you combine the emotion of the day, and all the love and support from friends and family, AND all the carefully curated and beautiful details that go into a wedding day...there's really nothing else I'd rather experience and be a part of!
why weddings?
philosophy
Joy-filled
My favorite sessions include couples who aren't afraid of embracing new ideas in order to create romantic, playful imagery. Whether that means going barefoot along the beach, or running in those heels to get your dress flowing! While we will certainly get the standard shots, I also love the combination of playful, emotional images. As a result, my sessions are free-spirited, and I love go-with-the-flow couples who embrace the adventure!
Effortless
I strive to keep posing as natural and real as possible. I want you to look back at your photos and feel like yourselves, rather than a stiff or highly-posed version of yourselves. I focus on capturing micro moments, the way you look at each other, the way you laugh, giving direction as needed. Every couple has a unique love language which makes each session its own!
Romantic
Nothing quite beats a classic fairytale romance (read: Audrey Hepburn & Gregory Peck in Roman Holiday) and I love couples who lean in and fully embrace their romantic sides on their wedding day. This can be shown in the most subtle of ways, even just by reaching for the other's hand, or glancing at them during special moments. Choosing to be in each other's company throughout the day. Anytime both partners are being in connection to each other, these are the sweet, little things that the camera loves to notice. I love working with couples who think freely and with a romanticist mindset, choosing to let go of all the societal pressure and expectations, and instead become visionaries for their own day. They intentionally choose what is most meaningful and expressive of them, and as a result, their wedding day and final gallery is a true depiction of their unique bond.
