We booked Megan for our wedding in September and she was above and beyond anything we ever dreamed of our photographer being! The entire process was amazing, as she was not only professional and talented, but was able to capture the essence of who we are as a couple, perfectly. Booking a photographer for our wedding was something I fretted over since I got engaged. It’s such a big commitment and it’s hard to know if you’re making the right decision. I mean, so much trust goes into deciding on someone to capture the most important day of your life! The minute I spoke with her, I was instantly put at ease and I knew she was the photographer for us. Her attention to detail, communication, and sincerity are what drove us to make pick her and we couldn’t be happier with the results. Bottom line, Megan is who you WANT to capture your momentous day. Her photos say it all! We look forward to booking her in the future for any photo sessions we need! More...

The Megan Helm Photography team was such a special part of our wedding day! They were timely, patient, professional and fun! I truly wanted a "hands off" day - not worrying about details. I trusted Megan, Taylor and Cassy with all photography details. Megan and her team were seamless and intentional. Before the ceremony we encountered an unexpected hiccup. Megan immediately offered comfort and alternative options to keep the timeline moving. In the end, everything worked out -- we even captured some amazing sunset photos! My husband and I were so so so happy with the MHP experience. Trust Megan, her team and their awesome skills - you won't be disappointed! Amazing group of talented ladies! More...

Megan is absolutely AMAZING! I’ve gotten to work with her a couple of times and she does such awesome job. She really takes the time to listen to what you want and help you capture those visions. She was professional, creative, enthusiastic, and fun. I cried tears of joy when I saw my photos for the first time and realized how well she captured every emotion of my wedding day. It was her first time at our venue but you would never know with the INCREDIBLE photos she captured! She truly loves what she does and it shows in every photo she captures. More...

I decided to give Megan a try after a terrible experience with a local photographer who gave horrible quality photos as well as a terrible customer service experience. I reached out to Megan to ask for advice on how to get out of the contract being that my wedding was only months away. She provided great advice and we were able to break our contract. I then decided to ask Megan to be our wedding photographer after looking through her galleries. She did an amazing job on mine and my husbands engagement pictures so I knew that my wedding pictures would turn out amazing too. At our wedding she went above and beyond to get great photos. A year later my husband and I asked her to do our maternity shoot and once our son was born, our newborn photos too. She was very patient and gentle with our baby in order to get good shots. We love her quality and overall services and plan on using her for all of our photography needs !!! More...

If you're looking for a fun, friendly and energetic photographer then Megan is the one to book! She was amazing. From the very beginning, Megan was there to help us with vendor recommendations, creating a timeline, and answering questions. Weddings can be stressful, and from the moment Megan arrived at our venue, it was like hanging out with a lifelong friend. She made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera, and her visions for our pictures were stunning! She was very hands on and paid attention to every little detail. I could not be anymore happy with our decision on having Megan capture our special day simply because she is the best!! More...

Megan took family photos and head shots for our family business recently, and it was such a great experience. Her pricing is reasonable, she worked with our timing and availability restraints with ease, and she even gave us tips on what to wear in the group photos. Oh, and did we mention that the photos were fantastic? We even reached out to some industry organizations to update yucky photos from the past to our fancy new photos. Thank you, Megan, not only for making our family look great, but for capturing the beauty of the orchard! More...

I booked Megan to take some group and individual photos for the business for which I work. From the moment I sent the request, I knew that I made the right choice. She was quick to respond to my initial request with a reasonable quote and flexible availability. The business has had some disappointing experiences with photographers in the past, and Megan was happy to provide me with the portfolio examples we needed to feel confident that she would do a great job. The photos turned out great, and I even reached out to some industry organizations to update less-than-desirable head shots they had on file to the new photos that Megan took. She also got the final images to us pretty quickly, so we weren't left wondering what the final result was. Thank you, Megan!! More...

The most amazing photographer I have ever worked with! I was chosen for Megan's 2k instagram giveaway and was able to have an amazing maternity photoshoot, photos to download, and an 8x8 book that I am going to be using for my baby shower this weekend. Not only did she edit my pictures the SAME DAY, I got my book a day early and it is stunning! Such amazing communication through the whole process, and she made me feel beautiful the entire time.

Megan's talents as a wedding photographer are truly undeniable. When she gave us our wedding photo gallery, my jaw DROPPED at how beautiful our photos turned out. Megan listened to our not-so-traditional ideas and truly ran with them... as she will tell you, she does a lot of outdoor natural lighting shots (which are extremely beautiful), but her indoor photos are also INCREDIBLE. She has such a knack for capturing moments and bringing out the best in you! Because of Megan's photos, I look back on my wedding and have never felt more beautiful than on that day. You will not be disappointed in hiring her and I know she will make you feel incredible on your big day! Thank you so much, Megan, for all you did for us and for being so talented at what you do!

Megan was so great to work with! From the very beginning, before we met, Megan was easy to communicate with and get a hold of. She was helpful in answering questions so I felt prepared for the shoot. I used her for maternity pictures after being referred by my sister in law and she did not disappoint. She helped in suggesting a location, as I am not very familiar with the area. She mentioned there was a possibility of snow and at that sounded dreamy to me. Well, she picked the perfect location and in the meadow there was a perfect blanket of snow. Needless to say, it was everything I dreamed of. The lighting was perfect and our photos turned out better than I could have imagined. The turn around time was great and I cannot thank her enough for capturing this precious time in our lives. I love the photos so much! Thank you! More...

Wow, how can we even describe in words the amazing service we received from Megan and her team! We booked Megan through a referral to do our engagement shoot, wedding photography and videography. It was so nice to find someone we trusted to complete all three services for a bundled price. From the start we were so impressed with her professionalism (she under promised OVER delivered!), speedy delivery of quality, edited images and her overall enthusiasm for our event. She really made us feel as though our special day was one of a kind. Day of the wedding, she was just as prompt and professional as she had been throughout the process before hand, planning and communicating. She made our bridal party feel at ease and was extremely easy for our planner and coordinator to contact and deal with. Megan listened to what we wanted and changed her plan to match what we needed- she was instinctual and knew what we needed before we did! Our friends, family and participating vendors were more than impressed with Megan and her team at Megan Helm Photography. In the end she delivered our images in a timely manner (much sooner than we could have hoped) and we were blown away by the quality in her shooting. The photos captured the look and feel of the day we had worked so hard to put together. We would get married again just to have her capture us again!! More...

There isn't possibly enough words to describe how passionate and professional this woman is about photography! She clearly has a love for capturing breathtaking moments, and throughout my whole experience from beginning to end, Megan has worked with me, was on top of everything the day of, and was so nice and professional. It was so hot on my wedding day, yet she still tried her hardest to make ALL of our shots look the best ever. Not only is she an amazingly talented photographer, with her crisp, yet warm style, but she is also a really positive, genuine person, and a real lucky charm to have around on your wedding day! My husband was really really nervous before our first look and Megan completely changed that with her warm personality.

I do not even know where to start. Right from the beginning Megan was very quick to respond to any questions or concerns that we had. Even though we never met her until the big day, I felt that we were already in good hands. On the big day, meeting Megan felt like we were meeting an old friend. She made us feel safe and excited. She would tease us by showing us some of the pictures she would take and it was jaw dropping what she would show us. The final product of the pictures were stunning! If I had to say exactly what the pictures were like I would say breathtakingly fairylike. A dream come true. She truly captures the essence of the moment. Very organic and yet simplistic. We are happy with our entire experience and she worth it all! Thank you Megan for giving us forever lasting memories of our love! More...

Let me start by saying I am a stickler when it comes to quality photography. I am so, so picky & have high expectations. Megan is incredible to work with. My love and I hired Megan to capture our 5 year anniversary. He HATES photos, he feels ackward in front of a camera but Megan is so personable and so easy to work with, we hardly realized we were posing for a camera. She captured the truest, most genuine, authentic parts of our love. She has an eye for the most beautiful and flattering angles, she is aware of detail, & she is consistent is ensuring your experience is simple & beautiful. We incorporated our fur babies & she was strategic & patient in capturing their attention to snap a few photos. Her turn around time is phenonmenal & her quality of work is unmatched. Her pricing is fair. We truly loved our experience from beginning to end.

Ps, I just hired Megan again to capture my graduation photos!

Q&As

There's no real secret, because taking great photos isn't lucky. I've invested countless hours into my education, thousands of dollars into my equipment and free weekends spent building a business to learn everything I could to create the ultimate photography experience for my clients.

Visit the contact page on my website and I'll ask for a few details about your project to see if we're a good fit for each other. I also ask that you check out my website and social media accounts to make sure my photography style is a good fit for what you're looking for!

I love capturing love stories. Whether it's for couples, families, new moms, graduates or a 60th wedding anniversary I love being able to capture those moments for my clients to relive again and again.

I've always struggled with self image, and so when I had a photography experience where I felt beautiful, I was inspired by that feeling. Through various types of photography, I can allow my clients to see the beauty in themselves. I see the beauty in everyone, because I truly believe each person has their own unique beauty. When I am able to capture that beauty the way I see it and allow my clients to see how beautiful they really are, that is the best feeling ever.

Photography is more than just clicking a shutter, it's about the story and the emotions behind a moment. I invest in my couples and families and get to know their stories so I can better tell theirs with timeless images.
