"For me, family is everything."
Since I was a little girl, I've had a keen awareness of the delicacy and beauty in life, love, and people. Back then, it manifested itself on a purple digital camera packed with blurry images of family and friends. Today, it leads me across the world to preserve precious moments for strangers turned friends.
I've been equally fascinated and intrigued by the way this desire to preserve and remember has been a continuous theme in my life. I've decided it comes down to a few things:
FAMILY. NOSTALGIA. INTENTIONALITY. LOVE. ART.
My deepest desires in this life and the core of who I am stem from these things.
Just weeks before my own wedding day, doctors found an extremely rare, cancerous tumor in my mom's adrenal gland. To say it rocked our worlds would be the understatement of a lifetime. On my wedding day, after the ceremony, I vividly remember excitedly exiting the aisle with my husband, rounding the corner to the side of the venue and waiting for our family! My mom was the first to embrace me. The image captured in that exact moment takes me immediately back to my tearful eyes, cracking voice, and sweet embrace as I whispered,
"I am just so glad you are here."
That image is one of my most sacred belongings.
The desire to hold onto feelings, memories, and people so tightly it feels like you can still smell the spring air, hear the laughter of your best friend filling up the empty space, feel the tears run down your cheek, and experience the beauty of things for the very first time, all over again.
THIS IS MY VISION FOR YOUR WEDDING DAY.
A love as true and beautiful as yours should be preserved in the most tender, delicate, and artful way. The surreality as you glance in the mirror after slipping into your dress, the beaming grin or tear-streaked face of your groom as he takes in your beauty, the moments waiting in the bridal suite with your best friends and closest family, the sacred moment as you walk down the aisle to your love, the flicker of candles at your reception creating the perfect ambiance, the warm embrace from your most cherished loved ones; these are the moments that we long for the second they are gone. The moments we hope to hold onto so tightly it couldn't escape our grasps.
THESE ARE THE EVERLASTING MOMENTS I LONG TO HELP YOU TANGIBLY FEEL FOREVERMORE.
LEAD PHOTOGRAPHER, OWNER, AND THE DREAMER BEHIND MEAGAN LEIGH PHOTO
HI THERE! I'M MEAGAN,
my loves
I've been blessed to have been photographing love and beauty for over 8 years now. I have heard countless "I do"s and seen endless creativity and imagination throughout my years of wedding photography.
Seeing the curation of every detail come to life and having the honor to preserve them forever is what ignites my heart.
But, seeing your love and experiencing your most intimate and precious moments with those closest to you-
THAT is what fuels my soul.
I am passionate about love and evocative imagery, and I deeply long displaying them in an art form that graces your home and hearts, forever. Because of this, my desire is to truly know you and become your friend. I am not the photographer who shows up to your wedding day introducing myself to you for the first time; my work is too relational and intimate for that. I want you to be comfortable with me, as if your best friend were in the room with you.
This is where art is created.
I want to be deeply involved in bringing your vision to life, and this is only accomplished through mutual understanding and appreciation for photography! I care deeply about you, your love, your family, and your big day. In turn, I work best with those who care just as deeply about the art that is created. I hope every single image is cherished so deeply and helps you tangibly experience your wedding day for the first time, infinitely.
