Meghan Hemstra Photography

We are so lucky to have found Meghan! She honestly is the most amazing photographer we could have dreamed of having. Meghan has an ability to capture raw emotion and moments that are beautifully composed in each of her photos. We can’t count the number of times that people told us our photos look like they should be in a magazine!

Being photographed can be an intimidating thing for people, but Meghan is absolutely hilarious and really makes you feel at ease in front of the camera which shows through in her photos. Right from day one we knew she had an amazing personality, and as we got to know her more throughout the planning process she has become a dear friend of ours.

While being a down-to-earth person, she is also a professional at heart. Meghan was very organized throughout the entire planning process. Through questionnaires, location scouting, and frequent check-ins, she made sure that everything was accounted for which paid off in spades as our big day ran smoothly.

Meghan went above and beyond for us not only on our wedding day, but throughout the entire process from the beginning. For example, once she found out about a sentimental location that’s very dear to us, she drove five hours (EACH WAY!) just to do an engagement shoot there for us. We honestly can’t say enough about her!

As a photographer Meghan is unbelievably talented, as a professional she is incredible, and as a person she is truly a gem. We are so grateful that Meghan was not only a part of our wedding, but that she has become a part of our lives. We absolutely recommend her to anyone.

Simply put, Meghan is fantastic.

From the moment we reached out to her with an initial inquiry to the day she delivered our final photos, she was professional, personal and a ton of fun. Meghan really took the time to get to know us and it was clear that she was actively listening to our vision for the wedding day and our priorities for our photos. No question or concern of ours was too small for her and she gave us lots of tools and advice to help us plan how our photos would integrate smoothly into our wedding day. Not to mention, we had an absolute blast with Meghan and her second shooter, Kade. We received a sneak peek within a day or two of the wedding of some of the most beautiful moments.

We will (and already have!) recommend her to anyone who is looking for a creative, talented and extremely professional photographer for their special day.

I really didn't think I would enjoy taking wedding photos but Meghan made us feel so comfortable and it ended up being a blast! She totally got our vibe and didn't make us do anything we didn't want to do. Our photos turned out even better than we had hoped.

We used Meghan and her team for our Wedding this past April and could not have been happier with the service she provided, the value of the package she customized for us and the quality of her photos. She was incredible to work with and made it really fun for us. We would highly recommend Meghan!

Meghan was an absolute pleasure to work with. We made a perfect choice with Meghan. and are so thankful to have found her to capture our special day. From the moment we met Meghan we instantly felt comfortable and knew that she would be the perfect fit for us. She spent a lot of time getting to know us and made sure she understood our needs and expectations. Not only is she professional and organized, but she is hella fun and has a great sense of humor! For two people that are awkward in front of a camera she made the entire experience fun. She gave us a ton of direction which quickly put us at ease. From our engagement shoot through to our wedding day, Meghan was in constant contact with us and was always available to answer our questions. She is easy going and was open minded to any ideas or concerns we had. We received our photos within a reasonable time frame. She even went so far as to make us a lovely slide show from both our engagement and wedding sessions which we really appreciated. So if you are looking for a super talented, fun, and professional photographer to capture your special day, Meghan Hemstra is your girl!

Meghan was an absolute joy to work with. From our first meeting, to our engagement shoot and on our wedding day, she was flexible, lighthearted, encouraging and positive. When you work with Meghan, you'll realize that she brings out the best in everyone while being totally professional and doing her job so well! All of our pictures reflect such joy. I wholeheartedly recommend working with Meghan and will be a client for life!

Meghan is everything that you could ask for in a photographer! From the moment we met her, she was VERY responsive, organized and made us feel SO comfortable! We are not a couple who normally likes photos taken of us but we had so much fun being photographed by her and her team. She went WAY beyond what she needed to do and was more than prepared for our special day! We received our photos faster than expected and we are so happy with how they turned out! She is also very reasonably priced for the quality of photography that you get:)

Our wedding day was the fourth time we had the pleasure of working with Meghan. We flew her into Edmonton from Vancouver simply for the reason that I needed HER! There is something about her style of photography that has an honest way of capturing the personalities of each and every one of my family members. She is so easy going that it makes it literally the easiest thing to just be yourself in front of her. This makes posing so incredibly natural and easy! Meghan is extremely organized. She will obtain every little shred of information from you and it honestly makes your big day a cake walk - no pun intended. Meghan came to visit our venue a couple times before the big day. She walked around with us and walked around by herself. She even helped out with our rehearsal! First thing, the morning of the big day, Meghan was out at the farm (The Venue) off in the field with my dress and all the other details to go with it. She was extremely prompt and helped all of us stick to our timeline. Everyone loved Meghan. While we were doing our portraits with the bridal party, which can be a little chaotic at times... a lot of people + booze = short attention spans. While Meghan was having a lot of fun with everyone, she was also not afraid to keep everyone on track. The entire day ran so smoothly thanks to Meghan. When I got the email from Meghan saying our photos were done... I was ecstatic! We were gifted with an 18 minute slideshow with music by Meghan and it was so special. I watch it often! Our photos are flawless... our wedding day went by so fast and was such a blur. We can now go back and relive it all over again, as many time as we want. Meghan has captured so many of my favourite moments and there really is no way to thank her enough for that. She still and probably always will remain one of my most favourite people!

meghan was truly a fabulous wedding photographer. right from our first meeting i knew that we would get along. she has such a good energy and vibe to her. she is so likeable, positive and upbeat. from a photographer's perspective, she was insanely organized, diligent, creative, punctual and efficient. she did an amazing amount of prep work and it showed throughout the entire process and the end result was incredible. she also always answered my many emails with a prompt, detailed and friendly response. in the end, i think i gasped 'oh my god, i love that photo' at least 100 times. or more. i feel that meghan really went above and beyond, even having my husband and i over to view a wedding slide show. clearly, i would highly recommend meghan!

Meghan was amazing and did a great job of documenting our day! Her work is amazing and our pictures turned our perfect. It was very easy working with Meghan and her photography style was exactly what she promised during our consultation. I would definitely recommend Meghan to my friends and wish her the best with her business.
