I'm Megan, a proposal and elopement photographer, based in Banff National Park, Alberta. With a passion for capturing intimate and genuine moments, I specialize in telling love stories against the stunning backdrop of the Canadian Rockies.
As a seasoned photographer, I believe in the magic of elopements—those intimate celebrations that focus on the true essence of your love. Let's embark on an unforgettable journey together in the heart of Banff National Park. My photography style is very simple, minimalistic and soft which I think compliments my personality well as a fairly quiet, warm and sincere human. I'm a natural observer, so I love to watch how people interact with each other and capture them in a very natural, honest and uncontrived way. Documenting couples who are crazy about each other is my favourite thing and gives me all the feels. I want to capture those moments when you're lost in each other's eyes or laughing uncontrollably at something he whispered in your ear so you can relive those moments on rainy days and show them to your grandkids one day when your hair turns grey and you're still living out the beautiful, ordinary moments of your love story.
It is my greatest hope to connect deeply with you so that on your wedding we truly feel like old friends.
In other words, you can count on me to run the show, but you won't have to worry about me stealing it. Your job is to show up just the way you are, and my job is to capture your moments exactly how they felt. No performances. Only real and natural love. I want to create an experience for you and your love so that when we part ways, you feel even more connected to each other than when we began.

Megan had several location ideas with the insider knowledge on when to go at what times and what to expect. Megan arrived at the location early, and greeted us with a warm smile and inviting conversation. She brought some lanterns as props (which turned out amazing) and even lent her own gloves to my fiancé in between shots. Conversation was easy and Megan is a very personable individual, who made both my fiancé and myself feel comfortable and at ease throughout the entire event. Megan exceeded all of my expectations beyond my own belief! She even gave us excellent recommendations for restaurants, activities, and trails nearby. The photos are absolutely INCREDIBLE! Both my fiancé and I were thoroughly impressed with the quality of each and every picture. Both my fiancé and I feel that she truly captured the essence of our very special moment in life and made it that much better.
Megan truly made our wedding day what it was: stunning. We asked her to travel to the mountains in Buena Vista, CO, and she didn't even hesitate. She captured the moments we can't afford to forget because of how precious they are to us. Now we have them in photos forever because of her. We needed a photographer on our wedding day that embraced the mountain scenery, took away the stress of the details and led the day behind the scenes in confidence and professionalism and Megan went beyond what we asked for. We are forever grateful!
Megan was absolutely wonderful to work with. She is kind, calm, organized and very knowledgeable. We immediately felt comfortable with her during our engagement session, and could not be happier with the results of our wedding pictures. She was able to capture the emotions of our intimate wedding so beautifully, and has left us with pictures we will cherish for years to come. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend her!
Megan Renee Photography is an absolute dream to work with! Before booking my session, she was knowledgeable and quick to respond to all inquiries. She chose a stunning location and provided information on getting there/parking/etc. I was nervous at the start of the shoot, but Megan was friendly, calming and made the experience not only comfortable but lots of fun! She provided me with a (stunning) image sneak peek the following morning and the turn around time on the images was super quick. I had a wonderful experience working with Megan Renee Photography
I highly recommend Megan as a photographer! She genuinely cares for her clients, listens to your wants and concerns, and produces high quality work. My fiancé and I did an engagement session with her and had a 10/10 experience all around.
I’m usually awkward getting my photo taken but Megan makes it a very comfortable and enjoyable experience and maintains a high level of professionalism. She is very approachable and wants to make sure that she delivers to you what you are looking for in a photo. She takes the time to listen to you and delivers the final product in a timely matter. She always keep communication open throughout the entire process. I highly recommend her as a photographer!
Megan’s work is UNMATCHED. She captured every little moment and makes the photo look so timeless. She definitely knows what she’s doing with a camera. I highly recommend to everyone to get pictures done by her!
Megan did an amazing job capturing the moments of our perfect day! She did our engagement shoot and our wedding and was so patient throughout the entire time. We felt so relaxed and comfortable around her and the portrait time of the wedding ran smoothly! We are happy we chose her to be our photographer since we now have gorgeous pictures to remind us of such a special day!
Megan did an absolutely amazing job taking our wedding photos. She was so professional and easy to work with throughout the whole process and she is such a lovely person in general. She made everything so effortless for us and makes you feel very comfortable posing for the photos. One thing I seriously can’t emphasize enough was how blown away we were by her ability to exactly convey the romantic, elegant mood of our wedding through her pictures and editing. Also, she made sure to get both the traditional and non-traditional shots and understands how to perfectly capture both candid and posed shots in a variety of settings. She never rushed us as she worked with us on the specific shots that we wanted as well as suggesting some of her own ideas which actually ended up being some of my favourites. She really went above and beyond, running across busy streets and being unbelievably patient just to get the perfect shots for us. We have received so many compliments on all the photos and definitely recommend her to anyone looking for any type of photos!
No idea or location is off limits. Exciting projects make me and early bird or late owl. I only ask you to bring your best mood and I'll do the rest.
Every person is beautiful, unique and a curious mystery. Allow me to show you how I see you. Promise we'll have lots of laughs and fun during the whole process.

As always I am at a loss for words but this time I’m at a loss for words AND crying. You are a gift. These photos are the most beautiful works - I could not have even imagined these in my wildest Pinterest dreams. You always get the vision but wow have you ever delivered a home run. Once again, I know you integrated all of our ideas and wishes so effortlessly. Above and beyond. The colour, the crispness, the contrast, the softness - wow. And I just feel like I’m really looking at Cory and myself in our truest form. This isn’t even to mention how beautifully you captured us in truly inclement weather, embracing the rain alongside with us just to get the shot. I love this work and the memories that came along with creating them. We will hold onto these forever. You are such a pleasure and a treasure. I am so grateful I found your Instagram page a year ago. You are a wonderful person and also an incredible talent. It’s truly a privilege to work with you at what feels like only the beginning of what will be an unbelievably successful and fruitful career. Thank you for gifting us these most beautiful and precious photos.
