I had dreamed for half of my career of photographing a wedding in New Zealand and that day came. Julia and Courtney’s summer wedding was held at a private home called Cornish Point Holiday Home with a winery near the picturesque Lake Dunstan and Clutha River in Cromwell, New Zealand. The stunning waterway provided the perfect backdrop for their special day, with rows of grapevines and rolling hills just on the other side. It was absolutely breathtaking. The c ..read more

When I first met Jordan and Victor, they told me they wanted their engagement session to be fun, light-hearted, and reflective of their personalities. They wanted to incorporate some of the things they loved doing together, such as playing dominos in a local park and exploring the streets of their neighborhood. Their Logan Square neighborhood in Chicago includes several brownstones and older architecture with private gardens overflowing with plants. It was an ..read more

The year 2021 was probably one of the most chaotic years of my career as a photographer but I found peace amongst the chaos.

This stunning venue and restaurant is located atop the Grand Stair on the 2nd floor of Chicago’s iconic Merchandise Mart which makes for the perfect backdrop inside and out for an intimate wedding. They kept their decor simple with terrariums a ..read more

Megan Saul specializes in contemporary, modern wedding photography. Chicago, Chicagoland, Portland and destination wedding photographer. Every single wedding story I tell is different. That’s the wonderful thing about being documentary photographer. Each story starts at a different chapter in a wedding day for each couple and no two stories are the same. It doesn’t matter if you start from the beginning or middle (it might the end). Your story gets told. Shea and Zach are an amazing couple who decided to skip having the preparations for the day photographed and jumped to having me start at the ..read more

I haven’t been photographing a ton of engagement sessions lately and I’m really missing it. Since relocating to the country, a little over an hour north of Chicago, I’ve been taking on less due to my location. But that allows me to miss them and be more creative when I do them. It also just inspires me to document my couple’s love. So today I present to you Tina and Patrick and their beautiful Schaumburg engagement session. When Tina and I sat down to talk ab ..read more

There is something so special about a Chicago winter wedding in early January. This past January in the midst of Covid-19, one of my clients, Tory and Joe, decided to postpone their big wedding till summer like many couples have over the last two years. They had a brilliant idea though to still have a small wedding with their closest friends and family. So instead they had a micro wedding in the Fulton Market District of Chicago. Needless to say it was so ele ..read more

Megan Saul specializes in contemporary, modern wedding photography. Chicago, Chicagoland, Portland and destination wedding photographer. I’m a lover of black and white photography. It’s probably why I opened up this blog post with some black and white photographs from a recent engagement session at Montrose Harbor in Chicago but honestly, I love color too. That’s probably why I embraced a harsh sunny morning and left 95% of these photographs in color. You see… I’m always categorized as a “moody photographer” and hell, I call myself that too because I simply just gravitate to the moody romantic ..read more
