Since childhood, art has been my passion, but traditional schooling wasn't my thing. Thankfully, creativity was my secret weapon, keeping me motivated. Then came college, and boom! When I got my hands on my first DSLR camera, I quickly mastered manual mode. Photography became my calling, and I soaked up knowledge in every way possible from online courses to real-world experiences. Now, as a lead wedding shooter, I'm in my element, watching my skills blossom with every shot. Photography isn't just a passion; it's my ticket to endless growth and fulfillment. 

Hi, I’m Meg Elise. I’m a wedding & portrait photographer based in IL. I truly enjoy creating and capturing heart-felt candid moments! I love to have fun at your wedding or session. I will be there to direct you every step of the way. My goal is for you to have timeless photos that you can pass down to your future generations.
