    Megan did our engagement session and our wedding day. Both my husband and I absolutely had a blast having her as our photographer. She is fun, energetic, outgoing, and creative. She is very responsive to customer needs and gets photos back to customers within a good amount of time. Her work is nothing short of beautiful and we hope to continue to have her be our photographer for the future!

    Megan is such a great photographer and she captured all the moments that we had talked about before the big day. She had good ideas about the outside location and the pictures turned beautifully. I am grateful she was part of our wedding day!

    Megan is a very talented photographer and she runs a great business. I spent tons of time researching for my wedding photography and although Megan was hours away from our location, I choose to hire her because she was the best. Great style, great prices and packages that include engagement sessions and all photo copyrights.
    From the business end, everything was done the way she said. She was easy to get ahold of, quick to follow up, had a flexible schedule (willing to be there all day and make sure she captured everything we wanted) and she was open to our ideas.
    On top of all of that she is so fun and positive. She made everyone feel really comfortable. Our wedding party loved her! And she made me feel great in front of the camera (and I think the pictures show that!). I was so thrilled to get a package shortly after our wedding with over 1200 quality photos, album and DVD of our day. I loved all our photos and our engagement session photos were amazing too! You could tell she took time to make those just as great.
    I’m so glad I choose m.linn studios, she captured amazing moments not just posed pictures.

    My husband and I could not be happier with Megan and her awesome photography. We were so pleased with the photos that she took of both our wedding day and during our engagement session. She did an amazing job of capturing all of those little details that you would most likely forget if it were not for the great photos. We felt very comfortable working with her and you can tell it in our pics.

    Megan was very quick and accessible with our communication before, during, and after our wedding. She was very timely with editing our photos and getting us the final products as well. This included rights to all of the photos...which is PRICELESS!!!! Also included engagement session (incl. rights), DVD slideshow to music of our choice, and high quality hardcover photo album.

    Megan runs a highly professional business and she is definitely recommended!!!!!!

    Both my husband and I were incredibly happy with how our photos from our reception turned out! He even enjoyed working with her and trust me he is not a picture guy! She made everyone very comfortable and gave plenty of direction for those that were uncomfortable in front of the camera! Megan did such a great job of capturing all of our important moments and other the little things around the reception that we would have missed seeing! She got some great candid shots that are probably some of my favorites from the day!
    Megan even stayed late to capture the first dances when things were running behind schedule FREE of any extra charges! We got our pictures and all the goodies back so quickly, I was amazed. We actually received our reception pictures back before we got our destination wedding pictures back that was 2 monthes earlier! I was expecting to get cd's with the pictures on them. When the package arrived I was so surprised to see a gorgeous wedding album and a dvd of the day!
    I paid for 2 different photographers one for our wedding and one for our reception. I was much happier with Megan's photography and the added bonuses she provided for the price! She was also very prompt with email responses to any questions and was more than willing to take whatever pictures we requested! We had a great experience with her! I would recommend and have recommended her to many of our friends and family!

    Megan was a wonderful part of our wedding day. She is so open and receptive and full of great ideas. I did not have a lot of plans of what I wanted for wedding photos so I gave creative freedom and all of my trust to Megan. She did not disappoint. I have tons of variety, with my husband and I in many different locations and times throughout the day, great pictures of my wedding party, my bridesmaids and I, Nathan and his groomsmen, us with our families! Both candid and posed. There is a candid of my mother and I after the wedding that she captured that was such a special moment, and we had no idea she was photographing it, such a real and beautiful picture! I have since recommended Megan to all friends and family getting married and have Megan photographing my newborn son! There's no one else I would trust to that job, she does fantastic work!

    Megan was amazing. We had way more photos than we thought, and she was so excited to work with us. Shame on the other people who wrote a bad review. I cannot believe it, in fact they seemed like bridezillas! Goodgrief. Megan was so great and had some amazing ideas. The photo book was awesome and we got to keep the cd's loyalty free to print as we wished. She took way over 1000 photos in addition to the ones for our engagement photos. she did a great job editing and we loved working with her. She had a great personality and even stayed a little longer than her contract time to take additional photos. We loved her work and everyone commented on how well she did.

    I've been in weddings where I've seen bad photos and let me tell you Megan was not one of them. Megan was most responsible in getting our cd's, editing and everything to us within 30 days after the wedding. Very responsive and edited everything great.

    I would recommend Megan to everyone. The DVD was so cool. In fact, she actually remembered what our song was without us telling her, because she used in the DVD slideshow. This was most unexpected. Great creativity Megan!

    My husband and I chose Megan based on her website and her portfolio. Additionally, the cost of her services was very competitive compared to many others. She was traveling (3-4 hours) to our wedding, but she was more than reasonable with her travel expenses!

    Admittedly, we were a little nervous because we didn't do an engagement shoot with her and the first time we met was on our wedding day! However, she felt like an old friend and made us feel very comfortable. We had a blast with her and she didn't mind driving all around time to shoot at different locations my husband and I suggested.

    Megan was not only professional and got some great shots - lots of great candids - she was so pleasant to deal with via phone/email and in person. I would suggest her to any bride in SD!

    We were greatly pleased with the DVD she created for my husband and I. She even got all the details down to the specific song that was played at our wedding to be on the DVD! The photo album she created is not just something one can whip up on the computer at home. It is high-quality and I get asked often by friends who have seen our album who our photographer was and how she created the unique album.

    I'm so glad Megan captured all the special moments of our day and was fun to hang out with while my husband and I dealt with the butterflies before the ceremony!

    Megan was the best decision we made for our wedding she did an amazing job! Her work is amazing, her price is affordable, and you get the copyright to do what you want with your pictures.

    Megan was also great to work with. We had a large wedding party, with guys (probably like most) who hate taking pictures. But her personality made you want to have fun! Everyone mentioned how much fun we had taking pictures and that she was the most fun of any photographer in any wedding they have been apart of. I've been in four weddings since my own, and she is still by far the best!

    Every picture she took at our wedding had great quality. She had great response time and easy to work with. I would highly recommend her to anyone.

    P.S. Megan also took my brothers senior pictures, which were amazing! I plan on hiring her for a toddler session for my son, as well.

    Megan did an awesome job as our wedding photographer and we felt she offered the best value out of all of the photographers in the area. We received more pictures than we expected and I really like how she allowed us to keep the CDs. We also love the wedding photo book and DVD she sent us. They capture the highlights of our wedding and the photos are beautiful. I was nervous about the church pictures because the lighting was dim, but you cannot tell from the pictures thanks to her editing.

    Megan did a great job at our wedding. I am not at all disappointed with the work she did. As a matter of fact, by the end of the day she became part of the family. She made us all feel relaxed and everything ran SOOO smoothly. What was really exciting was when we saw the final pictures and the wonderful things about the day that she captured that I had no idea she was taking pictures of. Several sentimental images of people and of details of the wedding that really make the day memorable when I look at them.

    One thing that helped her was that we had an outdoor wedding at a pond. The setting allowed her to be very creative and that she was. We had so many pictures, it was almost overwhelming... I figured with that many photos there would be no way that there would be that many quality shots to choose from... boy was I wrong.

    I would definatley recommend her to anyone! She is easy to work with and does a great job. Especially since I am NOT a photogenic person and usually hate every picture of me that is taken... but not that day.

    Thanks Megan!!!

    We loved Megan. I am an amateur candid photographer and I have to admit, I was pretty finicky about picking a photographer before our winter OUTSIDE wedding. Not only did I want to make sure that they were trained to shoot in that type of environment, but I had several specific shots in mind.

    Megan worked with me ahead of time (before I'd even booked her) on creative ideas. She had many of her own and she was very willing to include mine. I even sent her a 50-page 'idea' powerpoint of photo inspiration. She didn't laugh at me or get upset at all - which was so reassuring to me. When a bride has an idea, she has a responsibility to carry it through and to work with vendors who are willing to adopt her vision. Megan did that for us, big time.

    Megan was also willing to fine tune her package for us because we paid for more time than we needed. The quality of her lookbook and the number of pictures really surprised me - totally awesome! I wasn't looking for a photographer who owned the prints anyway, so Megan's CD of .jpg images was perfect for us - and we own the rights to our photos.

    Finally, I have to mention - Megan froze to death for us and we loved her for it. Husband and I got married outside in February in South Dakota. She drove 5 hours in snow to get there, and then shot in 18 degree weather. We had Narnia snow, which she captured beautifully. She crawled around in the snow for our pics - and I'm sure her little feet froze right off. But she was totally into it! She helped to make that day the most memorable of our lives.

    My advice to every bride would be to be honest about your vision. Overcommunicate - more is better than less. Megan is incredibly flexible and very talented!

    Meghan has the ability to do fantastic work. You can look at her great work on her website or Facebook.

    However, I caution you if you plan on having her as your professional photographer at your wedding. At my wedding she seemed very VERY distracted. The photos had little creativity and the photos with creativeness came from the ideas of the wedding party. My sister wanted a quick picture with her family since they were all dressed up and it was embarrassing how awful the layout turned out. In the Church there was a silly display in the back ground of many of the pictures. As a professional, she should have been able to crop these images out- but didn’t and now the background looks silly in a lot of the photos.

    Meghan photographic my wedding in 2012. I would not call her a professional, but rather an amateur. If you elect to have her as your photographer, I recommend you personally having all of the shots you want written down because she will come with nothing planned.
