Photos were hands down the most important part of the wedding for me (aside from us getting married - naturally). I wanted to be able to look back on my photo's and recall what I was feeling at that very moment and if I couldn't remember I wanted to be able to feel the emotion that was being expressed in the photo. Megan and Adam delivered exactly that! I researched SO many photographers and looked through so many galleries because I knew exactly what I wanted and I'm extremely particular. Many of the galleries I looked at were beautiful but over edited for my taste or editorial, too high of a contrast or maybe too bright. I wanted my photo's to be as natural and close to real life as possible and that's why I kept coming back to Megan's website. Just viewing her gallery I could already tell it delivered on everything I was looking for and for my wedding it was no different. On to Megan as a person and vendor. Megan is a freaking work horse and as sweet and down to earth as can be! She will cheer you on and be super excited about anything to do with your wedding. We were engaged for 10 months before being married so by the time we took our engagement photo's we needed them right away for our save the dates and within a week from our shoot we got the photos back. I also did a boudoir photoshoot with Megan and gifted an album to my husband on our wedding day. She was SO easy to work with and I felt very comfortable and relaxed. She plays off of what works best for you and that really help with something so intimate. BTW - I did the photoshoot a couple weeks before the wedding and she managed to edit photo's, send me proofs of the layout and get the album in time for my wedding. She's a freaking magician! The talent this woman has is absolutely incredible and I'm so happy I found her. I was a bit of a mess on my wedding day having forgotten my veil at home and she took charge and grabbed all of my details to get photo's in while I was having a delay in my timeline and she knew exactly what needed to be done even with the wedding mishaps. She's truly the best and I PROMISE you will not regret working with her. Megan thank you so much for being a part of our day! I am truly blessed to have been able to work with you More...

Where do I even begin with Megan? For starters, if you are between several photographers and are contemplating who to hire, Megan is hands down the best choice! From day one at our consultation, her flexibility, professionalism and down-to-earth personality floored me. She's the type of person you want to work with on a day to day basis and then hang out with after work! Megan is super talented (her photographs speak for themselves) and she really listens to what you envision and makes it come to life. Communication is top notch as well- she was literally one of the few 'vendors' that checked in on me more often than I, her, throughout the process which made the entire experience stress free and fun. And then the extra touches that really made mine and my husband's engagement & wedding so very special. I feel so blessed to have had the opportunity to work with her. There's no doubt I will find an excuse to book another photo session soon enough! Thank you SO much Megan!!! More...

Megan Antalek Photography went above and beyond our expectations for our wedding. The venue we chose was not only a new experience for Megan, but also a difficult space to photograph in, due to a lack of natural lighting. We knew we needed someone incredibly talented & willing to adjust to this environment. Megan's talent and creativity brought it all together - she was able to adjust and provide beautiful photos that we will remember forever. Our wedding parties told us how fun it was to be photographed by her and really appreciated her down-to-earth personality. A few of our guests mentioned that Megan was not only personable, but noted how they witnessed Megan maneuvering around the space to provide the best shots and also not interrupt everyone's experience. I could go on and on for days - since the day we met Megan, to our package included engagement photos, and our big day, she was a dream photographer who can do it all! I also want to mention that the small things (surprises in the mail, a meet and greet to show her portfolio and get to know your vision, helping me with my veil and dress, selflessly responding to never-ending questions and bride anxieties! lol, etc.) that she does for her clients are SO appreciated and SO lovely. It is refreshing to have met Megan and supported such an amazing woman. More...

Megan is the absolute best! She actually shot our engagement session, which was a surprise to me! She made my fiancé at the time feel so comfortable and he is someone who does not love the camera. We also hired her for our wedding and she captured everything perfectly. She showed up early and stayed late with us to capture every special moment. I love that Megan has been with us through it all- even our new born photos this last year! She is so flexible and listens so intently to your needs. Her style is so beautiful and she really customizes everything to you. We love you Megan!! More...

Megan is an Artist! She has absolutely so much talent and it shows in her work! I can't thank her enough for the absolutely beautiful job she did for our Wedding! ! With picking a photographer I couldn't seem to find the perfect fit since I'm an extreme perfectionist and wanted a photographer that would capture every moment of our special day. Then there is Megan, and she was on top of it! She does a stunning job and and she is wonderful to work with!! I'm so happy our paths crossed and she was able to shoot our wedding. I received so many compliments and have no doubt in what she can do! She does an amazing job and I recommend her to everyone!! Five stars are not enough!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐❤ More...

I almost didn't want to write Megan a review because I'm selfish and I want her open to do all of my friends' weddings, too! I truly could not recommend her more highly. After looking through 50+ photographers' portfolios and meeting with several, Megan was recommended to us by a friend. Immediately after scrolling through her Instagram, I knew she was the one for us. Her photographs are the caliber of a much more expensive photographer and she could not have been more accommodating. She traveled all the way from her home in Rochester to ours in Albany to do our (included in the package!) engagement shoot and was SO excited when we asked if we could include our pup in the pictures, too. Her enthusiasm and positive attitude literally never waned, even after I had sent her many emails asking her advice on different aspects of our wedding.For the big day, she again traveled from Rochester to our venue in Binghamton, bringing her husband, Adam, with her as a second shooter. They made a wonderful, laid back team! Megan is sweet, unintrusive and polite, yet she had no issue at all with keeping my bridal party on schedule and dealing with unruly family members. By the end of our cocktail hour pictures, it felt like we were shooting with just another friend. Needless to say, our pictures exceeded our wildest expectations. Neither my husband nor I are particularly confident in front of the camera, yet people have not stopped raving since we got our pictures back! More...

Megan was amazing to work with! Megan was fantastic at communicating throughout the whole process. My husband and I live in NC, so planning our wedding from far away made us nervous, but Megan was on top of it! Whenever we had a question, she was quick to respond. She even put together our day of wedding timeline, which helped all of our other vendors too. On our wedding day, Megan and her husband Adam made everyone feel comfortable and were a blast to work with. We just received our wedding photos, which was a very quick turn around time! We were beyond impressed and couldn’t be happier with our decision on picking Megan. Most definitely would recommend using her as your photographer!! More...

I have had the pleasure of knowing Megan since high school, we attended together as she was just beginning to pursue her passion of photography. Even at the very start of her career I could tell she possessed true talent and have loved continuing to work with her over the years. She has photographed me in many capacities, from modeling to boudoir to engagement and most recently my private wedding/elopement. The session flew by because we had so much fun together and she made us feel so comfortable. She's truly on top of it when it comes to the best angles, poses, all minor details that make for the best photographs. We can't wait to blow a few of the images up and display them in our house! I can't say enough great things and Megan's professionalism and the quality of her work. I urge you to give Megan a chance in photographing the next special occasion in your life. You will not be disappointed in working with her! More...

Megan was wonderful to work with and was so patient through the chaos and grouchy folks that were not in the mood for pictures! The first thing that drew me to her honestly was the transparency in her pricing on the website. It was a huge time saver to be able to know what her pricing looked like before I ever contacted her. Our wedding/engagement photos were fun and it was like I got to hang out with a friend all day, truly. Most definitely recommend! More...

Megan went above and beyond from getting our coffees at our initial interview, to meeting with us at our photo locations and scouting our venue. Her responses were prompt and she kept a sense of humor throughout our entire day! Instead of an engagement shoot, I did a boudoir shoot which was everything I could’ve hoped for. More...

From the very beginning, Megan was responsive, professional, and familiar. She made us feel comfortable discussing budget and pricing and had plenty of samples of packages for us to look at prior to making any decisions.
On the day of our wedding, she was on time (even to a very rural location) and blended right in with our bridal party. She snuck photos of dresses, rings, and us without interrupting the flow of the day. She captured every specific photo we wanted plus more, and I am continually overwhelmed with the quality and emotion captured every time I look through our photos.
Don't hesitate to hire Megan, it will be one of the best decisions you will make for your big day.
Thank you a million Megan!!

Even at the very start of her career I could tell she possessed true talent and have loved continuing to work with her over the years. She has photographed me in many capacities, from modeling to boudoir to engagement and will be photographing my upcoming elopement as well. My boudoir shoot was definitely the most nerve-racking but Megan made me feel so comfortable. We had so much fun that before I knew it the session was over! If you've been considering doing a boudoir photography session but are too nervous or shy there is absolutely no reason to be with Megan. I ended up purchasing two large prints because I was so impressed and happy with the outcome. I can't say enough great things and Megan's professionalism and the quality of her work.

Megan makes the experience of a photoshoot fun and so easygoing. I always thought getting my picture taken while people were around would be awkward, but Megan has a way of making everything else disappear which helps make your pictures look more relaxed and natural. Not only is she extremely talented and creative but she also has a degree in photography from RIT, so you know that your pictures will come out amazing. She has a way of capturing a beautiful photograph of her own style while making sure your true self comes through as well. I HIGHLY recommend Megan Rose Photography to any couple, senior, or family looking for portraits to be taken. More...

Megan was absolutely fantastic to work with. She was fun, friendly, and professional. I could not ask for more beautiful photographs - they were stunning. She photographed our wedding and our engagement photo shoot, and both were gorgeous. She took a lovely balance of portraits, candid shots, artistic/abstract shots, and a fantastic blend of the above to create her own style. We could not possibly be any happier. She communicated with us clearly and quickly every step of the way. Her second photographer was easy to work with and friendly as well. I wish I could give Megan more stars, because she honestly deserves it! And, when all was said and done, she personalized a slideshow for us so that we could see our photos arranged to music. I recommend her very highly! More...

Megan was absolutely wonderful on our wedding day! We met with her before our wedding and then we communicated via email after to make sure we were on the same page about what shots were really important to us. On the day of our wedding megan was polite, friendly, so positive and took wonderful shots. Both mine and my husband's family can be a bit of a handful but Megan was able to help us get through all of the family shots I had hoped for even when some grandparents were trying to run the show. Overall we couldn't be happier. She's an amazing photographer and you won't be disappointed with what she is able to deliver. More...
