There are many wedding photographers in Hawaii. But there is only one Megan Moura. When you choose Megan Moura Photography to be the professional Hawaii photographer for your wedding, you will know that it is Megan, herself, who will be using her expertise to give you the most beautiful wedding album possible. No substitutes nor apprentices. Megan Moura Photography is not a franchise, nor does she have other photographers on staff. She even does her own photographic editing because she loves what she does best.
Megan was born a ‘creative’ type and her passion is to always be doing something creative. Born and raised on the Garden Isle, she still dreams of having a home on Kauai where she could spend her days growing succulents and other plants, creating decorative items out of wood, and photographing the beauty of Kauai. Wedding photographer or being a Kauai portrait photographer are also in the cards for Megan. As an Oahu photographer, she already travels to all parts of Hawaii for destination or local weddings.
With her natural instinct and an eye for composition and lighting, Megan headed off to the University of Hawaii at Manoa on Oahu where she received a Bachelor of Arts in Fine Art. Then San Francisco beckoned and Megan answered the call to attend The Academy of Art University where she earned her Master of Fine Arts Degree in Photography. After taking some small jobs including working at custom framing shops, Megan Moura Photography was born in 2012. Tired of traveling between San Francisco and Hawaii, Megan finally settled on Oahu, and it wasn’t long before her talents for featuring private, personal moments in her photography, became noticed and published in print and online blog publications (The Knot, Rock N Roll Bride, Wedding Chicks, SOMA Magazine, et al.)
My work has been featured in 100 Layer Cake, The Knot, Rock N Roll Bride, Borrowed and Blue, Bespoke Bride, The Knot Magazine 2017, SOMA Magazine, H&H, Dancing With Her
Megan’s claim to fame is not only as a wedding photographer in Hawaii, but as one of the top portrait photographers. Honolulu businesses are also high on Megan Moura’s branding photography.
Oahu is where Megan and Tim are at home with their two cats, Nugget, a tabby and Ollie, a fat orange cat. A world traveler, she studied abroad in Chile, visited Argentina, and hiked Patagonia. Great food, culture, the arts are all inspirations for the very talented and down-to-earth photographer, Megan Moura.
