Megan Saul Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Cortez, 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.

There is nothing more anxiety-producing than choosing which photographer to document your event and my partner and I couldn't be happier with Megan. She has a great eye for detail and composition resulting in beautiful, professional, flattering(!), and intimate photos. She's highly conscious that she is creating memories and her photographs reflect her thoughtfulness. She captures the smallest details and interactions while still managing to get the "big picture" too. Megan listens to all concerns -however big or small- while making the process smooth, fun, and as low-stress as possible. She is extremely fair when it comes to price and you receive far more than you are paying for! I highly recommend her services. Photographers are like physicians, they need to be able to put you at ease while being both personable and professional and Megan Saul fits the bill. Our happy event was in early January of 2020. Check her out!

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 fiancé and I hired Matt to take our engagement photos and we could not be happier! We decided on two locations and chose St. Armands circle and the beach on Longboat Key. The photos turned out amazing!!! My fiancé and I are not very photogenic people, but Matt made the entire experience super easy and encouraged us to simply be ourselves while he captured the moment. Matt made us feel super comfortable and gave subtle yet very helpful guidance to setup the perfect shots. Overall we could not be happier with the final results!

Michael Orzell Photography

  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Cortez, FL

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).

Mike was up to our adventurous requests. Photographing our engagement photos, intimate ceremony, and celebration ceremony he did it all! Including braving the cold for our outdoor winter ceremony. Mike was very flexible with our requests, and guided us when we needed it. He was able to get our pictures we wanted and did not consume the whole night! He fit right in on the dance floor with his camera's in hand! Thank you Mike!

I’m a wedding photographer based in Sarasota, Florida! When I’m not taking photos or traveling, I’m likely roller skating, baking desserts, or cuddling my dog and cat (emphasis on that last one). So whether you want to celebrate your love, achieve new milestones, or just document your life, I’m here to help you capture those moments you don’t want to forget.

Oh my gosh, where do I begin?! Hiring Miranda for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made. From our very first meeting to the days/weeks/months following our wedding, our experience with her was nothing short of phenomenal. Miranda’s attention to detail, kind and calming presence, organization, and clear communication were truly a bride’s dream. Her airy, natural, and romantic photography style perfectly captured the vision we had for our wedding. The photos turned out more beautiful than we could have ever imagined. We even had multiple people tell us our wedding album was “magazine worthy,” and we couldn’t agree more! We’re absolutely obsessed! The Moseys can’t thank you enough, Miranda! We will forever cherish your incredible work as a way to relive and remember our special day.

Calea was amazing from start to finish! I live in GA and got married in OR. All I saw was her IG and a brief conversation to book. I could not be more impressed with her and her work. I put all my faith into her from across the country and she did not let me down. Calea is so easy to work with and she is up for anything! Calea had sneak peaks to us immediately and a full gallery delivered in less than 2 weeks! My husband was skeptical at first but when he saw her work, he was absolutely blown away and how phenomenal she is! Calea also isn't afraid to be the voice if you are uneasy with telling others what they need to do. We had her at our Venue the day of the wedding. The next day we took a trip to Crater Lake and she captured my vision perfectly!! I have recommended Calea and True Light Photography to all of my friends and family!
