The Orchard at Sunshine Hill in Chehalis is one of the most beautiful South Sound wedding venues. Long story short, it wasn’t their original venue but ended up being THE perfect location for Connor and Grace’s wedding. Not even a little rain was going to stop them from having the best day ever.

I can’t even begin to tell you how much fun we had. Their wedding reminded me of why I love traditional weddings and why it’s so important to feel a personal connection with your clients! From the fact that they preferred a more documentary day, to all the sweet sentimental moments, to the vibrant colors I’ve been missing, and of course hanging out with their awesome wedding party, it couldn’t have been a more amazing day.

Grace and Connor, thank you SO much for just being you!! It’s been so much fun getting to know you both over the last two years.

From the Bride

Grace left me the sweetest review that literally brought me to tears. It’s truly what I hope clients feel from each wedding experience:

“Megan is an absolute rockstar. First, she was 7 months pregnant while shooting our wedding and didn’t miss a beat. Her easy-going personality put everyone at ease, but don’t let that fool you – she’s possibly the most organized and focused person I know. I didn’t have a day-of coordinator and Megan seamlessly helped lead us through the day, not to mention her photos are GORGEOUS.

My husband and I really wanted someone who could truly document our day, not send us home with lots of staged, stiff still-lifes. Megan’s style perfectly captures what we wanted – photos of our friends and family celebrating with us, lots of candid moments, and editing that reflects the actual lighting for the day (not a heavily filtered sepia Instagram look). I’m honored that through the process of working with her, Megan became a friend and not just our photographer!”
