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!
Where do I begin with this review???? Meredith is by far one of my FAVORITE photographers! I knew of her because she is from the Peoria area and has a great reputation. I saw she posted on her IG where she was going to be traveling during the summer (as she travels a lot). I reached out to her to do a couples session and it worked out that she was going to be about 25 miles from where we were on vacation in Colorado! She was super cooperative in meeting us at a place she’s never been before. We found the most perfect spot in the mountains and just had so much fun with it! I honestly have never felt so comfortable around someone I had just met in all my life (and my husband, who hates getting pictures done, felt the same way)!!! She made sure the pictures catered to who we are together as a couple and our personalities! There was never a dull moment where we were waiting for her to tell us what to do, all of her poses were natural and organic. Also, we knocked out a TON of pictures in a short amount of time. She really gets the job done and it’s an incredible job that is. The best part, Meredith feels like a good friend to me now! I cannot wait to have her capture more of our pictures in the future!
