Wedding days thoughtfully told and deeply felt
An approach grounded in calm guidance, meaningful connection, and presence.
Megan Long
My heart is to meet you where you’re at, so you can be fully present and soak in every moment while I document it honestly. From the big celebrations to the quiet pauses, I’m there to capture it all in a way that feels true to you.
My ultimate goal is to make sure your photos reflect not just how things looked, but how they felt. As your photographer, I’ll be more than someone with a camera; I’ll be your advocate, a calming presence, and a guide through the process so you can focus on what really matters: each other.
I’ve been professionally serving the Raleigh area for over five years and I look forward to continuing to preserve stories and legacies of every kind for years to come.

Four payments of 25%, with the first one due at booking and the final payment due one month before the wedding date.
-
Retainers are non-refundable, as they reserve your date on my calendar and ensure I turn away other bookings. However, the retainer is applied toward your total balance.
-
During every session or wedding, I photograph using dual SD cards—so each image is written to two cards in real time. Afterward, images are backed up to both an external hard drive and a secure cloud-based server. I also keep the images on the SD card until your full gallery has been delivered.
-
Portrait sessions have a turnaround time of up to 3 weeks, and weddings up to 8 weeks. While galleries are sometimes delivered sooner, these timelines ensure room for quality editing and care.
