About Megan
"To create one's own world in any of the arts takes courage."
- Georgia O'Keeffe
Through years of experience, I have come to know that creating compelling imagery requires vulnerability, softness, and a quiet respect for the intimate moments of life – both the ones we plan and celebrate, and the ones that are secretly happening when we aren't paying attention. I love my work for this reason. It's a meditation on connection between people, and all the tiny details that support that connection.
Weddings are a representation of a community, a celebration of growth, life, and a reason to dance, regardless of what's happening outside of this moment. While weddings are often traditional, I find that regardless of the way in which they are celebrated, it is a radical moment when you choose to share joy with the people around you.
My job, my joy, is in capturing it.
Megan’s work has been featured in Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, the Cut, Elle, Brides, Rangefinder, and in publications around the world.
My work lies somewhere between documentary and editorial, as I lean on intuition and the energy of the people I'm photographing to capture their day with the utmost care and service. I'm informed by a background in fine art and a love of the outdoors, as well as an absolute fascination with human connection (and a deep draw toward all things sentimental and romantic).
When I'm not photographing weddings, you can find me throwing pottery or sewing textiles in my studio in Joshua Tree, or perhaps getting lost on a desert trail somewhere in the Southwest.
“Of all the things I wondered about on this land, I wondered the hardest about the seduction of certain geographies that feel like home — not by story or blood but merely by their forms and colors. How our perceptions are our only internal map of the world, how there are places that claim you and places that warn you away. How you can fall in love with the light.”
