Fun fact. I built a lot of the studio myself and did all of the electrical work.

I am also an ordained minister, just in case your officiant is running late. Taken in the studio.

Hi.

I find that most images I am inspired by are the frames after the fact or in between. The moments where you let your guard down, your breath exhale, and your shoulders return to their natural stance. The ones that wholly represent who you are and your connection to the people near you. The goal is for a person looking at one of my photographs to feel it in their guts. To preserve a moment in time so that even those who weren’t actually there can experience every detail, every emotion. I spend a lot of time acting as a witness to life’s very best memories. For that, I am incredibly grateful.

The first time I lost my breath looking at an image I had created, I knew I had found what people spend their whole lives searching for. I have spent most of the last six years living in a van and documenting wedding days all across the country. From New York - California - Florida - Alaska and everywhere in between. When I am not working or out on the road I spend my time in Nashville, Tennessee hiking or kayaking with my dogs, reading murder mystery novels, and planning the next adventure. Thank you for sharing your time and space with me.

Each year I cover an average of 25,000+ miles and will continue to travel as far as you will take me. For more information you can contact me directly at meghan@meghanmelia.com or 810.434.7773.
