The goals of Megan Jo
Photography + Creative are to... Capture beautiful, timeless photos of your wedding day that will hang in your home and be cherished for decades to come. Beyond the camera, I am here to be your time keeper, cheerleader and anything else you need to make your day PERFECT!
HELLO AND WELCOME MEET MEGAN Hey there! I’m Megan, the proud owner and lead photographer at Megan Jo Photography + Creative. I’m all about capturing those priceless moments that make your heart skip a beat. When I’m not busy snapping away or editing on my trusty laptop, you’ll probably find me playing with my husband and little boy, Aiden. And if I’m not doing that, you can bet I’ll be in the barn, wrangling cows and enjoying the simple pleasures of family and farm life. There’s something truly magical about witnessing the authentic love and connections that unfold on a couple’s wedding day. So, let’s kick off this adventure together! We can create some mind-blowing memories and, hey, who knows, maybe even become great friends along the way. -Megan
MY PHILOSOPHY
“I love capturing one of the absolute best days of your life. I want
you to have fun and relive the moments of your wedding each and every time you walk by one hanging on your wall.”

During our pre-wedding consultation, we’ll dive into these details and more, ensuring that your custom wedding day timeline is meticulously designed to reflect your desires. Let’s collaborate to create a day filled with cherished memories that unfold exactly the way you’ve always imagined.
WEDDING DAY PORTR AIT S Get ready to create picture-perfect memories that will adorn the walls of your home for years to come! At Megan Jo Photography + Creative, we believe in making every shot count. To ensure your portraits turn out flawless, we kindly request your collaboration in crafting a comprehensive shot list alongside your wedding day timeline.

Additionally, we encourage you to include any other photos that hold special significance to you and your fiancé. Together, we’ll create a collection of stunning images that will forever grace your home and bring joy to your hearts.
“Megan captured both my sister and I’s weddings! Both weddings she was fantastic and took care of making the schedule. She was flexible with day of changes and obstacles with weather that occurred in order to get the outdoor photos we both wanted! She was great to work with and photos were delivered fast as well as having a few preview shots to share before receiving the whole album! I LOVED all of my wedding photos!” -Brittany & Ray 4 1 9 . 2 1 7 . 8 0 9 2 / w w w. m e g a n j o p h o t o s . c o m
The Experience FIRST LOOK OP TIONS Choosing whether to have a first look is a deeply personal decision for you and your fiance. It’s a moment that can be shared intimately between just the two of you (and, of course, me!) or experienced as you lock eyes walking down the aisle. Whichever path you choose, rest assured that both options present an opportunity to capture breathtaking and emotionally-charged images. Whether you opt for a private first look or an aislereveal, I’ll be there to freeze those heartfelt moments in time.

How about having an abundance of reception photos that truly reflect the essence of your celebration? If this resonates with you, then a second shooter is the perfect addition to your wedding photography package! I meticulously handpick second photographers who align with my style and artistic vision. Not only will they seamlessly blend their images with mine, but their presence will also bring an extra dose of excitement to your day. If you’re ready to embark on an unforgettable photography experience, consider adding a second shooter to your package. Let’s make your wedding memories truly unforgettable!

“Words cannot even describe how amazing of a job Megan does! She is amazing to work with, makes you feel comfortable, laugh and have the best time ever... even though taking photos may not be your ‘thing.’ She is also always looking to capture those little details and every single moment so you will never forget the day. I can’t say enough good things about her and her amazing talents behind the camera. She is not some trendy photographer that you will look back on and think what was I thinking when we took those photos? The photos Megan takes will last you a lifetime and you will never get tired of looking at them! She is the best!!” - Tara & Reid

Frequently Asked Questions WILL WE BE FE AT URED IN A MAGAZINE OR BLOG? My focus is on capturing beautiful moments as a photographer, which is why I leave the writing to the experts. Currently, I do not blog any of my wedding or portrait sessions. However, I do make an effort to submit photos to magazines when time permits, despite the adventures of raising a lively baby boy. If one of your photos is selected for publication, rest assured that I will seek your approval before it goes to print.
DO I HAVE TO ORDER PRINTS THROUGH YOU?
To ensure the highest print quality and color accuracy, I recommend ordering prints through my website. By using my website’s print ordering service, you can be confident that your prints will be of the utmost quality and faithfully represent the original images. The option is open for ordering other places as well.
HOW DO WE RESERVE OUR WEDDING DAT E? A signed contract and a $800 down payment are due at the time of booking to reserve your date. The down payment goes towards the total cost which is due on or before your wedding day.
IS MILEAGE INCLUDED IN PACK AGE COST ?
Travel is included within 60 miles of zip code 44811 for the wedding day. After 60 miles the cost is $0.67 per mile in line with the government rate. Additional mileage costs may arise for the engagement session depending on location.

DON’T FORGE T AUNT SUE! Family portraits are at the top of your wedding day photo list for a reason! This may be the only time all of your family members are in one place and dressed up for a long time.
