From our very first conversation, Zaida was professional, enthusiastic, and genuinely excited about our wedding day. She has this amazing ability to hype you up and make you feel so confident and beautiful, which was exactly what I needed leading up to the big day. The photos she captured are nothing short of magical. They're so dreamy and artistic that I actually got emotional looking through them - she truly has a gift for capturing those precious moments in the most beautiful way. What impressed me most was how she moved like a ninja throughout our entire wedding, getting every single angle and moment without ever being intrusive or in the way. I barely noticed her darting around, yet somehow she managed to capture everything perfectly. I originally discovered Zaida through a friend's wedding she photographed, and seeing her work firsthand convinced me she was the right choice. She's not just a photographer - she's a true artist who brings such a unique level of expertise and dedication to her craft. You can tell she works incredibly hard to deliver something truly special. Working with Zaida was an absolute dream from start to finish. If you're looking for someone who will capture your day beautifully while making the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free, look no further. She's simply the best!

Awarded Best of Zola
When Annie and I booked him, we had full intentions to have him do our wedding. We put down the deposit, and then things went sideways financially. We unfortunately had to go back to him and cancel. My fiancé was devastated, so I reached out to him, and asked if he could do a quick hour shoot, like an engagement session. He was very quick to reply, and get us on the schedule. He was so kind and understanding, I truly wish we could have him for our wedding, but I am grateful he was willing to work with us. I know my wife-to-be and I are going to cherish those pictures forever.

Hi, I’m Meg — wife, mom of three wild and wonderful kiddos, and professional memory-maker for couples who want to actually enjoy their wedding day (yes, it’s possible!). My love for photographing weddings started long before I ever picked up a camera — I’ve always been obsessed with the feeling of them. The laughter, the happy tears, the chaos, the quiet moments no one else notices — that’s where the magic lives. When I’m not documenting “I do’s,” you can find me chasing my kids around our backyard, sipping cold brew like it’s a personality trait, or sneaking away for a cozy date night with my husband.

Megan photographed our wedding this past November and we could not be more pleased with how our photos turned out. They are beautiful and really capture our love and excitement that day. She makes things fun by adding her own ideas and creating a positive environment throughout the whole day. She was such a pro and we adore her!!!

I prioritize skin tones and lean into candid documentary but love some whimsy-editorial portraits thrown in there as well. I tell all my clients- Im at YOUR wedding to work with you/ for you in whatever capacity feels good.

We hired Kimie James to shoot our very small wedding ceremony at Maymont in August. In the words of my very shy older brother, "Kimie felt like family". Kimie is professional, easy going and is nothing short of magic. She was able to capture every moment so well. Each shot was better than the last. Kimie was even able to get a shot of the 5 flower children, ages 2-8. I don't know how you do what you do but thank you for everything!! Kimie helped to make our day more special than we could have dreamed. She went above and beyond. We adore her!
