Hi I’m Megan!
travel is my joie de vivre, it’s what brings me joy. I would love to capture your story wherever it is in the world!

I’m so happy you’ve stumbled across my little part of the internet and that you’re thinking of me to document your day. My full name is Megan McEachern - the worst name to spell over the phone - but my friends call me Megs, Meggy, Meg, Meggers - take your pick!
I grew up on the Isle of Arran in Scotland and have a huge affinity for my home country, especially the Highlands and Islands. But I’m also an explorer and I’ve lived all over the world, including two years in Australia, and most recently New Zealand. I’m chilled and friendly, love a good chat and a laugh and I get on best with people who don’t take themselves too seriously.
I have a background in documentary production at the BBC as well as multimedia and features journalism, which led me to travel and performance photography and then on to weddings and elopements.
Essentially, I’ve always loved to tell people’s stories. And I’d be honoured to capture yours.

the new friend
Many of the couples I capture tell me that working with me was like hanging out with an old friend, and that’s exactly how I want you to feel too.
The more relaxed you feel with me, and the more we get to know each other, the better your images will be as I can reflect more fully who you are. I totally get that you might feel awkward at first, or that you don’t like having your photo taken - pretty much every couple tells me this! But believe me, most people tell me afterwards they had loads of fun - and that they actually forgot to feel awkward. Don’t worry, I got you!
the style
My digital edits are influenced by film photography as well as my background in travel photography and documentaries and my inherent love for story telling and details.
The way I approach weddings is 80% as a documentary photographer, 20% as an editorial photographer, which means I want to capture all those intimate in-between snippets so that you forget nothing, but I will also help pose and prompt you where necessary so you never feel unsure and look and feel your best.
I know I personally love photos of me and my loved ones we didn’t even know were being taken - the ones where the real emotion is on show - and you’ll definitely get from me. Because it’s not always just the big moments that mean the most to you – sometimes it’s that little line in the ceremony that makes you tear up, or the hug your gran gives you, or seeing a friend who’s flown in all the way from Australia to be there with you.
I always provide the necessary structured group shots too and as mentioned I will gently direct as much as is needed during portraits. But for the most part I’ll be blending into the background. It’s your day, I’m just here to capture it in all its glory.
I’d love to hear all about your story!
whether you're eloping to the scottish highlands, shooting off to italy, getting married in your back garden with 10 people, or want some family or couples snaps - whatever it is - I'm all ears!
