Megan Giakas, owner of Megan Steele Photography

Hi, I’m Megan!

I’m here to make you feel comfortable & confident while capturing your unique love story.

  • My editing style has an “autumnal” vibe, with warm undertones and rich colors.

  • I focus on capturing organic movement, natural emotions, and candid moments. That means no awkward posing!

  • You can usually find me hiking with my husband and baby, reading, or watching the Great British Bake Off (or Ted Lasso for the five-hundredth time).

What people are saying…


“Megan was very professional and fun to work with. She came prepared with ideas and poses for us to try and kept us laughing and relaxed the entire time. We got our pictures back quickly and they were amazing quality. I cannot wait to have another session with her!”

— A & N

“Megan is a dream to work with! She is extremely talented, genuine and has a natural ability to work with whatever you put in front of her - people and dogs included! If you’ve been thinking of getting your photos taken, book with Megan! You will not regret it. And bring that furry friend with you - you will be amazed at the photos you get in return.”

- E & G

“Megan was great to work with. She made us feel super comfortable in front of the camera. She was super sweet with our dogs and was able to get great shots of them! Megan has a great eye for framing a photo and she captured amazing shots of our family. We would definitely recommend her to everyone we know!”

— K & A

“Megan was even more perfect than I could have imagined. She worked with me to plan a surprise engagement photoshoot this past December. With my nerves taking most of my energy she really did it all and it could not have gone any better. She captured every special moment of the evening. Her creativity and obvious photography skills have guaranteed she will have my business for all our special moments moving forward.”
