A lot has changed since I started running Megelaine Images as a full-time company at the beginning of 2006. I got married to my wonderful husband, Tim. Digital cameras have gotten a lot better. My style of photography has evolved to mostly wedding photojournalism, which reflects my observing personality. America changed Presidents, and the world experienced the biggest economic downturn since the Great Depression!

Obviously, I can only list a few of the things that have changed since Megelaine Images was born, but one thing has not changed. I am convinced that I have the best brides of anyone in the industry! My brides are beautiful, sweet, organized, and loving. We take the time to get to know one another. And after I put 100% of myself into their wedding photos, I am always so encouraged to hear my brides talk …

Last week I attended an event highlighting the latest wedding trends at the Indiana Historical Society. The event was called ‘Weddings With Wow!’ and it was hosted by the Indiana Chapters of the International Special Events Society (ISES) and the Association of Bridal Consultants (ABC). As I have started to attend events with these two professional organizations, I have been blown away by the quality of the events and the amazing wedding vendors I’ve met. This event was no exception.

Each table on the floor of the gorgeous Eli Lilly Hall had been designed and decorated by one of Indianapolis’ top florists or wedding designers, including Leslie Jones Weddings, D Ashley Design+Events, and Eclectic Events & Design. They were all beautiful and cutting edge.

After a great lunch provided by Hoaglin Fine Catering, there was an amazing presentation by The Wedding Guys. …

Emily and Dave had an amazing wedding Saturday. They are an incredible couple and I can’t wait to share more of their wedding day images! Here’s a quick peek…

I recently had the opportunity to be a guest speaker at Miss Perryman’s 4th grade class at Greenbriar Elementary. They are studying business and basic economics right now. I was a featured small business owner and entrepreneur. It was fun to be able to explain what running your own business is like and answer their questions. My favorite question had to be if I got to eat some of the wedding cake. My answer was yes of course and I even admitted that on occasion I ate two pieces. (one- I love, love good cake, two- the extra sugar rush helps me through the later parts of the reception)

In preparing to talk to the class I remembered that I was in 4th grade when I started to get really interested in photography. My …

Since this is the season that many brides are planning their wedding, I wanted a post photographs just about details from Amanda and Adam’s big day. They found lots of ways to have a big effect for a minimal amount of money. A huge help to cut on decorating costs was to have a venue that was gorgeous on its own. Allison Mansion here in Indianapolis was simply amazing for a smaller wedding (125). They just needed a few small touches to make it their own.

I loved that Adam designed the programs and included Sodoku on the back. Who doesn’t have a little down time before the wedding or waiting to get dismissed? Adam gave her a custom book of all of the blog posts they had during their courtship and engagement, so sweet! …
