Ohio portrait photographer devoted to true-to-life color and authentic connection; creating film-inspired, nostalgic imagery that honors the human experience. Each photograph is rooted in the preservation of your story.
I am a portrait photographer shaped by place, people, and a lifelong devotion to art. A Virginia native from the Shenandoah Valley, I recently relocated to Northeast Ohio, bringing with me a deep sentiment and purpose to preserve your story. With a background in elementary art education and five years in business, my work is rooted in both intention and authenticity—moments that hold significance, photographs that become family heirlooms.
Memories hold the meaning of life. Old photographs, handwritten notes, generational heirlooms passed down -- these pieces of life tell the story of those that have come before us, and take on a new form with those that will carry on in a new season. Photographs are more than images, they are modern heirlooms.
The hummingbird in my logo is a small tribute to my grandmother, a piece of her that's been passed on to me. A symbolic reminder of the love and stories that live on long after a photograph has been taken. My style is inspired by film photography and true-to-life imagery, authentically captured to tell whatever season you're in. I'd be honored to photograph your story.
I specialize in creating portrait and wedding experiences that are as intentional as the images themselves. Whether it’s seniors, families, couples, or engagements, each session is designed to capture authentic connection, personality, and meaningful moments. I guide you through every detail so your session feels seamless, producing timeless imagery.
"Megan was absolutely AMAZING as our wedding photographer. She was always available for us to contact and talk about what we wanted in our photos and captured every single photo we asked for. Her work was flawless, and we love all of our wedding photos. She was very professional, friendly, and easy to work with."
I first met Megan in 2023, when she took my graduation photos at JMU. I remember being blown away—not just by how stunning the images were, but by how effortlessly she made me feel seen and celebrated. Fast forward two years, and as soon as I began planning my wedding, there wasn’t a doubt in my mind: Megan was the one I wanted by my side again.
And once again, she delivered beyond all expectations.
Megan brings so much more than just talent behind a lens. Her humor, calm presence, creativity, and genuine ability to connect made her not just a photographer, but a comforting and essential part of my wedding day. She moved through each moment with grace and confidence—gently guiding family, organizing chaos, and somehow capturing the soul of it all without ever being intrusive. It felt like having a dear friend documenting our love.
Since the wedding, we’ve received endless compliments from loved ones—people in awe of the beauty, authenticity, and emotion woven into every photo. She noticed the moments that mattered most to me, even the ones I hadn’t put into words. The result is a gallery that isn’t just beautiful—it’s alive. It’s a time capsule of the joy, the tears, the laughter, the love.
Every single image is a gift. My husband and I will treasure them for a lifetime.
Megan, thank you. I look forward to every chapter ahead, and I hope with all my heart that you’ll be there to capture them.
To every bride, graduate, new parent, or family—if you’re wondering who to trust with your most precious memories, let it be Megan. Her magic is real, and it shines through in every single frame.
"I have struggled all my life with insecurities, never wanting to be in photos...until Megan. She makes me feel beautiful, confident, and worth being photographed. Megan has captured every important moment of my life for the last four years. There is no one else my husband and I would trust the way we do Megan Aldhizer Photography!"
