Photography

for adventurous introverts

I’m the perfect photographer for you if…

You identify as an adventurous introvert

Do you love exploring new places and going on adventures, but also identify as an introvert? Are you nervous about being in front of a camera? I keep my couples moving and having fun so you don’t have to worry about posing or feeling awkward.

Fall is your favorite season and your aesthetic

The crunch of fallen leaves underfoot. The crisp smell of colder weather. Pumpkin bread, pumpkin pie, PSLs. My editing style is inspired by autumn vibes, with warm tones and lots of rich colors. If that resonates with you, let’s work together!

You love to move your body and spend time outside

I believe that you show up best when you’re doing something that makes you happy. Whether your bliss is dancing on a rooftop, hiking a mountain, or dancing the night away, let’s make sure it is part of your big day.

What to expect when you work with me

Effortless Photos: My goal is to make you forget that there is a camera pointed right at you. I’m not a fan of posing for the sake of posing. I think the best photos are moments of action: a laugh, a kiss, a snuggle, a glance.

Customizable Experience: Everyone is different and every family is different, so all of my services are completely customizable to suit your needs.

“From the moment we met Megan, her warmth and easygoing nature put us at ease. She talked less about posing and more about getting to know us, quirks and all! That made our photos feel effortless.”

FAQs

What is an adventure elopement?

An “adventure elopement” is an intimate, unique way to celebrate a couple and their love story. Everything is completely customizable, from the location to the ceremony to the number of guests. For some, this means climbing Mt. Rainier at sunrise. For others, it means having their friends and family gather in their backyard.

Do we have to travel somewhere “exciting” to elope?

An adventure elopement could happen far away (like a different country or a national park) or it could be in your own backyard. Not sure what makes sense for you? I can act as your location scout by offering you a personalized location guide based on what you are looking for and who y’all are as a couple!

What does a “full day” elopement look like?

Picture this: you wake up the morning of your wedding with zero stress. You have a cup of coffee with Your Person. You get dressed in something that makes you feel GREAT. Maybe you go on an adventurous hike with your dog and say your vows under the trees. Perhaps you go to the beach you always visit together and say your vows to each other with the ocean and seagulls as witnesses. Afterward, you share a meal at your favorite diner. Or play a board game together. Or invite your close friends and family over for a backyard cookout. Or snuggle up and watch a movie together. And the whole day is documented with beautiful photographs that will always remind you of your Perfect Wedding Day.

What if we are planning a bigger wedding but still want to work with you?

I take on a limited number of big weddings (over 50 guests) a year. I focus on working with couples who feel like “my people,” regardless of how they plan on celebrating their love story.

Do you offer discounts to returning customers?

I love watching couples and families grow up, and I am so honored when people choose me to document their memories year after year. I reward returning customers with a 10% discount when you book a second session within a year.

“If you’re two introverted souls like us, the thought of an engagement shoot might send shivers down your spine. But Megan Steele Photography? AMAZING — She turned our photoshoot into a magical, laughter-filled afternoon that we’ll cherish forever.”
