Book wedding photographers in Newport, RI

The people I work with tend to want the same thing. They want to be present on their wedding day, in it with the people who know them, not managing it or performing it or watching it from a slight distance. Most of them are a little wary of wedding photography, and I get why. Nobody wants to spend their wedding being arranged. They want the day they actually had, with the people who were actually there. That's the day I'm there to photograph.

Hi! I'm Meg! I LOVE what I do, and I enjoy sharing my vision with everyone! I got my first camera from a Kelloggs Corn Flakes mail in off the box when I was in the 3rd Grade and ever since then I've been HOOKED! Since I began photographing on Film, and learning the TRUE Process of Color Printing and Processing in a dark room, I have become a nit-pic for portraying the truth in a photograph. It's a blessing to be surrounded by so many Amazing people! I wouldn't be here today without the love and support of my Family, Friends & clients who are all over the globe. I am truly one of the luckiest gals around!

People and photography have been a mainstay in my life since my own family began the process of documenting their lives, and sharing their photographic memories and pictures for future generations. I have the fondest of memories of sorting through my grandparents old photographs and carefully leather bound albums, from the black and white staged portraits of generations past, to the faded color snapshots and candids of my childhood. My family has influenced me to explore the world, as they once did, teaching me an acceptance and sensitivity of cultural differences.

On wedding day I make sure to make my clients feel at ease and comfortable, I make sure to bring nothing but good energy and a lot of laughs.
