Meg, not megan

Hi hi! I'm Meg, the sole creative force behind Meg Dowd Photo. While I may not actuallllly be well-versed in astrology, I'm a true Taurus who adores music, blooms, and all things vintage. I'm a proud Jersey Girl, but I'm always looking to book flights to far-flung destinations – a habit that could work in your favor if you're considering an elopement!

My journey into photography started as a simple hobby, capturing candid moments of friends and family for fun while trying to "figure out how the camera worked" - this inevitably turned into documentary style photography, before that was even a buzzword. My love for this medium was ignited further in high school being taught from a successful Wedding Photographer, in addition to another art teacher handing me his old film camera and a bag of film. I never felt fulfilled in my many other occupations prior to this, and I had no idea I could even make a career with my art until a family friend trusted me (an 18 year old with 0 wedding experience at the time) to photograph her special day. From there it kept building. After that day I've spent the last decade and more dedicating my weekends to weddings, waking up for sunrise sessions, and still bringing my camera around for day to day family fun. I wouldnt be anywhere today without the underlying support from family and friends who believed in me before I saw any potential in myself.

But there's more to me than just photography. I'm a music enthusiast who's seen Dead + Company over 15 times. I find solace in yoga, thrive in the warmth of the sun, and my favorite day of the week is Monday when I get to deep dive into my "discover weekly" Spotify playlist to discover new tunes. I'm a natural-born hugger and a true romantic at heart!
