Pioneer Your Own Path

Traditions are what you make them,  be wildly you!

I'm here to guide you to a more intimate and meaningful wedding day experience. You deserve the day you’ve always dreamed of;
a day full of love, intimacy, peace, comfort, adventure, and fun!

Let’s nix the stress and formalities. I’ve heard too many couples say that they wished they would have “done things differently”. So...let’s!!!! Whether we hike through a forest, stroll through a wildflower meadow, splash around in a waterfall, camp under starlight, explore a National Park, helicopter to a glacier, off-road in Jeeps, pack raft in crater lakes, romp in the ocean, or sit cliff-side as we watch sunset together, I promise, your day will be unforgettable. Let me help plan and tailor your elopement experience to be everything YOU.

Hi, I’m Meredith!

My friends call me Mer or Meres. Currently I reside in Columbia, MO, but I primarily travel for elopements and intimate destination weddings. I am married to my best friend, Ben, and we have four rescue doggies named Swift (after Taylor, of course), Kato, Fennec, and Pippen. Im pretty tall (5’11”) and have the longest legs known to mankind. When I’m not taking/editing photos, I’m typically playing with my dogs and obsessing over my next rescue, hanging with my nieces and nephews, traveling, mountain biking, working out, gardening, or chillin’ watching Netflix.

I’ve declared myself a healthy mix of introvert/extrovert, although I border more toward whatever you call someone who loves being around all the dogs. I’m an avid supporter of road trips and traveling. My soul feels happiest, most alive, and best connected to Jesus when I’m anywhere in nature. Let me be your guide to your next greatest adventure!

My Approach:

I’m so flippin’ excited that you looked through my work and made a connection. There is no greater compliment than when a couple envisions themselves in my images and trusts me to document their love story. I want to be more than your photographer. I want you to feel like I’m your BFF by the end of this adventure so that I can capture your love story beautifully and fiercely!

It’s important that we’re the right fit for each other — this is a two way street. After all, you spend the most amount of time with me so it’s super important that you feel comfortable with me being your rockstar third wheel. Don’t worry if you think you’re “awkward in front of the camera”…that’s what everyone says!!! I’m here to rescue you, I’ve been doing this for 18+ years (so crazy!) and I promise I know what I’m doing. I’m goofy, down to earth, and very directional so that you feel confident and comfortable during your session. You shouldn’t have to wonder “what do I do with my hands” — I’ve gotchu covered.

I’m here to connect with you because your story is what matters. I want you to trust me. I definitely do my best work when couples make a strong connection with my portfolio, feel confident in my work and my ability to serve them, and allow me the honor of documenting their day(s) freely. I want to photograph it all — including your perfectly imperfect moments; the tears that stream down your face, your hair being swept up in the wind as you read your vows, the dirt/sand that will most likely stain your wedding dress (that’s the best part in my opinion - it shows the true adventure), you dancing under moonlight or starlight, and all of the wild unexpected emotions and fun that wedding and elopement days bring. The things that are important to YOU are the things that are important to me.

Need help deciding the perfect destination or time of year for your wedding/elopement/adventure couple session? Get in touch with me! We can plan something simple if you want a beautiful location that is easily accessible, something more moderate that involves a little bit of hiking, or we can plan a lengthy more challenging hike and camp overnight — it’s all up to you and what memories you want to make!

For any session we have together, remember to relax, have fun, be sweet, and most importantly
— be wildly you —
that’s what you’ll see when you get your images back.
Thank you so much for considering me to document your love story!
“Pick me, choose me, love me!” - Meredith Grey
