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

I can't even begin to say how spectacular Megan's work is. She puts so much love into her craft and creates stunning photo stories for a variety of occasions. She is a great location scout and goes above and beyond to get unique and beautiful shots. My husband and I got married at the Salish Lodge at Snoqualmie Falls in Washington. We are huge Twin Peaks fans and live nearby. Megan came out to photograph our wedding and was an absolute dream to work with. We get so many compliments on how epic our photos are! If you want top quality and thoughtful work, go to Megan! She truly loves her craft and it shows.

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
We loved Gloria as our wedding photographer! We immediately loved her work when we saw her profile! The inquiry and booking process was quick and seamless. Gloria has such a sweet and calming personality that we really appreciated on our wedding day. She offers a great balance of capturing the spontaneous moments as they happen and leading photography moments with fun pose suggestions. My husband said our engagement shoot with Gloria was one of the most fun experiences he’s ever had! Gloria provided detailed questionnaire and a call with us to review details about a month before the wedding as part of the planning process. She also helped to shape our timeline and was flexible with us when we wanted to make a location change days before our wedding. Gloria delivered beautiful previews just 2 days after our wedding! We are so happy with our experience with her and absolutely love our photos! We highly recommend her to other couples!

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.

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).

Working with Mike was wonderful! His photographs are beautiful. But beyond the impeccable quality of his work, Mike is a pleasure to work with--he is responsive, knowledgeable, and organized. Anyone who is planning a wedding knows how valuable these qualities are. I'd enthusiastically recommend Mike to all!

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.

We had a wonderful experience working with Sound Originals for our wedding photographer vendor. Our photographer did such an amazing job, he took so many beautiful photos, it's difficult to pick our favorite, lol. Which, is definitely the kind of problem you want to have.

Once Like a Spark Wedding Co. was a fantastic choice for our wedding photography and DJ. I had first reached out to Darcy before I had even booked a venue - I just loved the editing style of the photos. Our lead Denida and and second shooter Will were friendly, communicative, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire wedding day. They kept us on schedule, if not ahead of it, and Denida even showed us some incredible photos as she was taking them. Will captured great shots of the groom and groomsmen, and also provided excellent second angles. I am so thankful we got to work with them. We also bundled our photography with the DJ, who was also wonderful - DJ Floyd kept the energy up all night, mixed the music perfectly, and checked in to make sure everything was going well. With OLAS, we were able to capture so many great memories and beautiful photos that we'll cherish forever.
