ABOUT YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER

Meg Lilly


My Approach

“Meg made us, two very camera shy people, feel like models and so comfortable.”

I bring a modern, chic, and playful approach to wedding photography, creating editorial and documentary-style images that make you feel like the best version of yourself. I bring a fun, bubbly energy that makes every moment feel effortless and natural, and I pour my heart into every wedding I capture.

With an eye for modern elegance and a touch of editorial flair, I transform fleeting moments into stunning, artful images. My approach is intentional yet effortless—focusing on the raw, unfiltered emotions that make each wedding unique.

Worried about being camera-shy? Don’t be! It’s my superpower to make everyone feel like a model—whether you’re used to posing or convinced you’re “awkward” (trust me, you’re not!). With me, your wedding day will be filled with laughter, confidence, and stunning imagery that captures your love story in its most authentic and stylish form.

Think we might be a good fit?

I primarily shoot on a digital camera, but I love adding nostalgic and vintage film photos to every wedding gallery. Film is such a beautiful medium to create with, because it forces the photographer to be intentional but also to live in the moment. Nothing beats the excitement I feel when I get my scans back and get to share them with you.

“Meg has been with us through every milestone—our engagement, maternity journey, newborn moments, baptism, legal ceremony, and now our wedding.

When we chose to have an intimate destination wedding with just 25 of our closest family and friends, our main goal was to focus on meaningful time with our guests rather than spending hours on posed photos. Meg went above and beyond our wildest expectations. She was incredibly respectful of our time, seamlessly blending into the celebration while capturing the most beautiful, candid moments. Every image reflects the love, joy, and authenticity of our day.

We don’t know what celebrations are on the horizon, but one thing is certain—we will never use anyone but Meg. She is truly one of a kind, and we are endlessly grateful for her talent, kindness, and dedication.”

What my couples say

“Working with Meg has been nothing short of amazing. From the moment we met, we felt so at ease and knew we were going to love our photos. On our wedding day, she truly went above and beyond, capturing every moment and was able to keep us on schedule throughout the day. 

She took the time to understand our vision and made us feel comfortable throughout the day. We have not hesitated to book her again for our family photos and will keep recommending her services to all our friends and family!”

- Alyssa & Kyle

“Meg is amazing. We do not have the words to describe how truly grateful we are that she captured our day so perfectly. The pictures are phenomenal, the sunset photos are a personal fav!! 

Everyone we talk to has commented not only on how perfect the photos are but how organized and in control she was on the wedding day. She made us, two very camera shy people, feel like models and so comfortable.

Thank you doesn't seem like enough.”

- Amanda & Adam

“Meg is a phenomenal photographer! From the moment we had our consult I knew she was perfect to shoot our wedding. She was kind, thoughtful and really took the time to understand what we wanted. Not only did she take the most perfect photos, she kept us on schedule and assisted whenever someone needed help. When we received the photos we were blown away by the quality and ability to match our vision. I would trust Meg to shoot any special moment in my life. I recommend her to everyone I know!”

- Rachel & William

“Meg is a brilliant photographer! Despite our wedding day being our first time in front of a professional camera, she made us feel so comfortable and captured our day so beautifully. Our photos turned out stunning and authentic—everything we had hoped for—and they are keepsakes we will treasure forever.”

- Chloe & Shane
