Awarded Best of Zola
We’ve been using Justina as our photographer since we got engaged. I knew she was featured at the best family photographer in Wilmington, and even before kids, I loved her style so much that I knew I just had to have her! She has been capturing moments for our family for the past 4 years, and I always recommend her to everyone I talk to (although hesitantly - sometimes I selfishly want to keep her all to myself). I couldn’t imagine a better photographer for our wedding. She accommodated every single request, knew what I needed before I even knew what I wanted, and sometimes has few a secret spots up her sleeve. She had a vision that exceeded my expectations, all while capturing all of my requests - every single time. I cherish all of the sweet moments she was able to capture, including the precious time with my mother getting dressed, the first look with my husband, the tears in my eyes as we read our vows, my bridesmaids bowing their heads during prayer, my uncle choking up as he expressed how words cannot describe how much we miss my father, the pure bliss displayed by my mother-in-law as she danced with my husband, not to mention all the surprises I didn’t notice until viewing the photos - our friends on the dance floor, the kids who made funny faces during dinner, the friends who passed out on chairs because they didn’t want to miss out on the fun. I could go on and on. These things don’t happen by accident, and I wouldn’t want anyone else to capture these memories for us.

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $1,800

Shegoes Photography & Design is truly an extension of who I am. My love for photography began through travel, capturing cultures and landscapes — but what always grounded me were the people and their stories. That perspective shapes how I photograph weddings today. I care deeply about the experience as much as the images, creating a calm, refined space where couples feel fully present, supported, and completely themselves.

We couldn’t be happier with our wedding photographer! She photographed our beach wedding during the kite festival, which could have been chaotic, but she adapted flawlessly. She stayed calm, creative, and completely in control. The weather was perfect—75 degrees and full sun—and she used the light beautifully. Every photo turned out absolutely amazing, from the candid moments to the portraits. She captured the joy and the energy of the day! If you’re looking for a photographer we can’t recommend her enough!!

  • Photojournalistic style

It’s life’s simple moments that really get me inspired. Endless sun soaked walks with my pup Ollie + husband Michael, thrifting, vegging out on the beach until I've lost track of time, coffee shops with pals, testing out a new vegan recipe, or sharing a glass of wine with the people that I love. I live for the small, slow, nostalgic moments. Growing up, I was a quiet observer, always dreaming and creating. My desire to photograph + document grew so organically, and now I'm lucky enough to say that I have been photographing professionally for nine years, and truly never see myself stopping.

Meagan Forbes Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding day. From the very first interaction, Meagan and her team were friendly, easy-going, and had a great sense of humor that immediately put us at ease. On the day of the wedding, they seamlessly blended into the background and captured incredible, natural-looking photos that truly reflected the casual yet special vibe we were going for. All of our friends have been raving about how amazing the photos turned out - Meagan has an incredible eye for detail and the ability to make everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera.

“Our photographer really took the time to connect with us, and we found that we shared a lot of common interests! She made us feel very comfortable, and completely followed our desires for candid and more relaxed photos. She was amazing at posing and directing us, as well as going with the flow and capturing what was happening in the moment. We couldn’t be more happy! We love all of the photos taken outside- our couples, wedding party, and golden hour photos feel so genuine and organic and I think that’s what our photographer really excelled in. Our golden hour photos specifically are very romantic and magical- definitely our favorites! I cannot give enough praise to the level of communication given during the planning process. Wedding planning is hard and it gets tricky to keep track of everything. From Darcy at the start getting us booked to Hannah throughout the planning process, I was so grateful for the texts and emails keeping me updated and on track. I am very grateful to have found OLAS, and have already recommended them to my friends getting married next year.”
