create an elopement day that no one has ever had before -
read my definition of "elopement"
An elopement is a wedding day that feels real and authentic to you. It’s your perfect, ideal day filled with all of your and your partner’s favorite activities. It’s choosing to be true to you and your partner, and letting go of anyone else’s expectations for your wedding experience.
e'lope•ment / noun
p.s. an elopement can be SO much more than a 1 hr courthouse ceremony with just the two of you. head over to my portfolio to see for yourself!

I am not the best fit for you if ...
You’re looking for any old photographer to show up and take your photos. Doesn’t matter who, you just need the job done.
I come alongside all of my couples and curate an intentional elopement planning experience for them so they can feel taken care of and that I’m actually invested in making their wedding day as meaningful as it can possibly be.
My couples love that I fully show up for them, and don’t just slap a couple of half-hearted questions together to know what time to show up on their day.

Truly, Meg was with us every step of the way. She got to know us through a few phone calls and emails in the months leading up to our elopement and assured us that we wouldn’t be the awkward couple my husband and I assumed we would be. She constantly made us feel comfortable by reassuring us that this is our day and we should do whatever we want to make us happy. She handled a date change, multiple location changes, and day of site curveballs so seamlessly!
When Meg sent us our photos, our jaws literally dropped and we just stared at them for hours. We got multiple different types of scenery and different types of poses (although I hate saying that word because it didn’t feel like we were ever posing and actually felt natural). I would tell anyone to 100% go with Meg as your photographer, you will not be disappointed. We are so lucky to have these beautiful memories as pictures that Meg captured but also just the experience of spending the first day as a married couple doing what we loved outside and with a new friend helping us make new memories we’ll cherish forever. We cannot recommend Meg enough!
"Meg knows what she’s doing big time and made the day more special than we could have ever imagined."
- Niki + Ryan
Meg was amazing to work with. She is inclusive and really takes the time to get to know her clients, which really helps when it comes time for photo-taking. She started working on our wedding day long before it happened by keeping excellent contact and through very thorough questionnaires. Even though we hadn't met her in-person before, she already felt like a long-time friend and made our experience easy and fun.
In addition to everything, she is SO skillful and we absolutely love the photos she created. She is a master at working with natural light and the surroundings. The moments taken feel like us and capture our day beautifully. We can't thank you enough!
"Meg is relatable, welcoming, and inclusive."

Meg was extremely communicative and fast to respond throughout the whole process. She did so much more than capture our intimate moments! She helped us with the boutonnière, had emergency hobby pins for my veil, and found an amazing spot for us to take portraits at without a fee. Meg went above and beyond and truly contributed to making our elopement a fairytale experience.
We also ordered prints and three framed photos from her website and are extremely happy with them!! The frames are gorgeous and great quality. The photos are stunning and I’ve never had such high quality photos before. They are so clear and vibrant. They also arrived very quickly after we ordered them and were packaged perfectly and protected.
