Hawai'i Wedding Photography
I'm Megan, a wedding photographer in Oahu ready to help with your elopement or wedding photographs.
I'm based in Honolulu and provide wedding photography services throughout the State of Hawaii and beyond. Let me document your big day in beautiful imagery unique to you.
Hi!

Firstly, huge congratulations are in order. I can't wait to hear your engagement story. But first, please allow me to share what I think makes the best Oahu wedding photography. It's about listening and understanding more about you and your relationship. The things you love, who you are, and what matters the most. Then bringing that knowledge with me as I photograph your ceremony and reception.
Most of us living and working in Hawaii become expert destination wedding photographers because brides and grooms want to include the islands' breathtaking natural scenery in their pictures -- it's among the most beautiful and romantic anywhere in the world. Also, if you're still considering locations for your wedding, I'm pleased to help with suggestions for you to consider.
My wedding pictures are ideal for the heartfelt and passionate because they are uniquely about you. After all, they are engaging, natural, and one-of-a-kind. I approach you as a couple and work to bring your personalities to life in the images. We'll include traditional shots in your portfolio, but the ones you'll love the most are the candid views from unique angles that capture special moments eternally.

A lot goes into taking beautiful wedding pictures, and I'm proud to offer you the right experience and educational background. During more than ten years of professional experience, I've photographed dozens of weddings, both outdoor and indoor ceremonies. They've helped me hone my innate ability to observe and capture meaningful moments as they happen throughout your wedding day.
I've earned a Master's Degree from the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, emphasizing photography. I began my career assisting renowned photographers who passed along their ideas and theories about technique and perspective. Since then, I've developed my style and specialized in Hawaii weddings. Thanks to this education and experience, I can provide you with exceptional images.

"So much to say about this amazing woman and her work! Megan remains on of the joyful treasures that I found through my engagement photos and wedding. I cherish each moment and photos she captured, and continue to look on my pictures daily as a reminder of all the beauty and blessings she captured. I am seriously in awe of her.

Testimonials
"GO WITH HER IF SHE'S AVAILABLE."
"She was the perfect accompaniment to my bridal party and to our whole crew. She was sensitive to everyone's aesthetic needs (women can be cray and we all have a "good" side) and she captured every moment without intruding. She fluttered throughout the day unnoticed unless to pause and soak the moment with me. (Can you tell I love her?)

"We could not have asked for a more amazing photographer!
"We could not have asked for a more amazing photographer! Megan is amazing and we are so grateful to have worked with her. We looked at many vendors on Maui, and met several as well, and it was clear that Megan was going to be the best partner for us.

Frequently Asked Questions
How Do You Capture Images to Represent Our Personalities?
This is where experience and ability come into play, along with knowing you in advance. As the day begins to unfold, I understand more and can capture images that show you as you are among loved ones and friends. Catching glimpses from the best angles makes all the difference and documents your day realistically and beautifully.
What is Shown in the Wedding Images You Take?
Not many wedding photographers in Oahu catch as many details as I do. It ranges from people and faces to every detail of your ceremony and celebration. Brides will see the fine details of their wedding dresses, grooms will be included right down to their boutonnieres. Speaking of flowers, I'll get the bouquets, centerpieces, and any ceremony elements such as floral arches, chuppahs, or mandaps. As you're reviewing the images, you'll be impressed by the level of detail.
Wedding and elopement coverage begins with a Creative Fee of $1,000. This creative fee covers the 1st hour of your event. Subsequent hours are $450 per hour.
Travel fees to the outer islands of Kauai, Maui, Big Island and Lanai are additional expenses. In addition, destination weddings to the continental United States will incur travel fees to cover airfare, car and hotel accommodations.
How Soon Can We See the Photographs?
The customary turnaround time is two weeks. It can vary depending on the number of images, time of the year (some seasons are busier than others), and any special requests. We understand you want to see pictures as soon as possible and do everything we can to expedite the editing process reasonably.
Are There Certain Kinds of Weddings You Photograph?
We photograph any wedding, elopement, or engagement day (yes, we can keep a secret if one of you is booking the session unknown to the other).
Do Your Provide Hair and Make-Up Service?
Yes, we will connect you to our preferred HMUA teams on Oahu. Prices vary by project and artist.
