Megan Giakas, owner of Megan Steele Photography

Hi, I’m Megan!

I’m here to make you feel comfortable & confident while capturing your unique love story.

  • My editing style has an “autumnal” vibe, with warm undertones and rich colors.

  • I focus on capturing organic movement, natural emotions, and candid moments. That means no awkward posing!

  • You can usually find me hiking with my husband and son, reading, or watching the Great British Bake Off (or Ted Lasso for the five-hundredth time).
