We Love You!

Jan 17, 2012  |  Posted by: Megan Stay

Last year was pretty great in my wedding world. As most of you know I’m still trying to pick up speed when it comes to shooting weddings on a consistent basis. It’s going a lot slower than I like but it could be worse. I met my goal of ten weddings last year and would LOVE to double it. I know so many photographers that started their first year with ten and are now shooting over 50! That’s not my goal, but more power to ’em!

Weddings, Wedding Venues
2012 Bride's Choice Awards | Best Wedding Photographers, Wedding Dresses, Wedding Cakes, Wedding Florists, Wedding Planners

I was so honored to be chosen as a Wedding Wire Bride’s Choice for 2012. It really means a lot to me that the work I put into each wedding is seen by my brides (and grooms!). They don’t mind that I get a little misty eyed during the ceremony or when an especially beautiful moment happens between them. Nor do they mind me tugging at their gowns so they look like the goddesses they are in every photograph. And I especially love when they give me ye olde “5 star rating” on Wedding Wire to help bring more amazing couples my way.

I’m still growing and loving what I do. Here’s where I get all needy. I need more advocates! I need more people telling friends and friends of friends that I photograph weddings and do it really well! I travel all over the country and I’ve got a passport so don’t think I won’t travel outside the borders as well! If I’ve already photographed your wedding and you loved what I did for you will you please give me ye olde “5 star rating” on Wedding Wire or Google or Yelp or my Facebook Business Page? And if you really want to go the extra mile you could search “Las Vegas Wedding Photographers” and click on my blog or website, +1 my blog or website and help me move up the ranks (unfortunately I’m waaaaay back there right now). I don’t have a degree in marketing and I’m sure someone out there is thinking I’m totally bananas for asking this. But ladies and gentlemen…I’ve got the chops. I know I do. And I know I can make twenty couples super stoked that they hired me to photograph their super awesome wedding, be it big or small. I bet we could even get it featured on a wedding blog!

So let’s give this thing a shot (get it, shot?! HA!). It’s going to be a year to remember and I want you to be a part of it. I love you all for your kind words and support. I really can’t say it enough or express how much I love you.

Oh and you know what else, I got a new toy over Christmas. A toy I’ve been renting the for past year. I’m the proud owner of a 5D Mark II, which might not mean a whole lot to most of my couples. But it means that I’ve got more control over the light on your wedding day! Control of light = AWESOME!

And here’s a photo I took with my new toy on my recent trip to Los Angeles. Wanna download it and print it and add to or start an art collection? Go for it! It’s high rez, give it a go! It might be easiest to go to Flickr and download it from there. It prints at 8×12.

Much love, Meg

    Congrats! That is awesome recognition.

    Your work has really improved in the last few years (hopefully that won’t sound patronizing) but you know what I mean. You keep getting better.

    If I hear of any people in need of a wedding photographer, I will send them your way.

    you are awesome and congrats! i added a review to your wedding wire page (glowing, of course 🙂 and googled LV photographers (you were second on my list!)

    you and your talent amaze me and i’m so glad at all the wonderful work you are doing now!

  • I shared your page on my fb wall and on my blog fb wall. I also googled Las Vegas photographers and clicked on your link. I 1+’d on google too. Pinterest is another great way to get noticed. A lot of bloggers pin their own pictures to bring more traffic to their sites. You could make a Wedding board and pin the pictures that you take of weddings. Just a thought.

    You are amazingly talented and let me know if there is any way that I can help you!
