Megan Saul Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (7 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Bradenton, FL

Photography has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. What started as a childhood passion grew into a lifelong pursuit of storytelling through images. I’m based in both Union, Illinois, and Florida, which allows me to capture weddings in a variety of beautiful settings. When I’m not behind the camera, I’m gardening, traveling, or spending time with my partner, Kenny, and our three pets. My work has been featured in many publications, but what truly drives me is creating honest, meaningful imagery for my couples—photos that will live on as part of their legacy.

I must have gone through three dozen portfolios looking for a wedding photographer. We didn’t want your typical run of the mill cheesy pics but rather ones that really tapped in to us a couple. The pictures Megan took had depth and really captured our feelings in that moment. Highly recommend.

I am SO excited that you stumbled upon my work! I shoot weddings all across Florida & New England! Capturing raw, true emotions as they happen is what I’m all about. I want to capture it all on your big day. From the moments of you putting your dress to the tears running down your face as you read your vows to each other. To the first kiss and “OMG you’re my spouse now!!” feels. To the unexpected Taco Bell run you make after the ceremony or your grandparents getting down on the dance floor. Being able to grab the moments for you to hold to forever, is such a rewarding humbling job for me.

My love for photography began over a decade ago when a good friend lent me his camera. I quickly discovered my passion for capturing the beauty of candid moments and the world around me. Outside of photographing couples, I enjoy downhill mountain biking, traveling, nature & landscape photography, hiking, and playing guitar. I live in Sarasota, Florida with my beautiful wife (Meg), our two children (Charlotte & Logan) and our two dogs (Tucker & Diamond), and cat (Grace).

Michael was so great to work with from our first contact until the end! Our wedding was 9/1/23 at Harkness Park-Eiola Mansion, Waterford CT. He was so good with our 3 year old son and also corralling our giant family for wedding day photos! He captured clean and beautiful photos for both our engagement session and our wedding day. He was even able to get my husband to smile and loosen up, which is not an easy task! He got our album back to us quickly! I would recommend him to anyone and will be keeping him in mind for future family sessions!

“True Light” is the perfect name for Calea’s photography business as she absolutely embodies this. From the moment Calea arrived she exuded such a warm, calming presence that made me and my whole family feel totally comfortable, which was so important especially while I was getting ready and the nerves were getting to me. She was stellar at coordinating with the videographers, and when she had me and my husband “model” for her it was very clear how to pose and I must say, the photos look incredible. She has a beautiful eye. Right after the wedding she started sending us shots and posting on Instagram which was so fun to see, and she get us our full gallery well before the three week timeframe. The photos are absolutely stunning and perfectly capture the warmth, love and beauty of the day. We are so so happy! 10/10 would recommend Calea, she is the best!
