Hello, I'm Megan Renee
Photographer
Based in Kailua-Kona on the Big Island of Hawaii, Megan is a professional photographer with a deep love for capturing real emotion and unforgettable scenery. What began as a career in hair and makeup artistry led her behind the camera, where she discovered her passion for photographing the tender, beautiful moments that unfold naturally—especially before couples say “I do.” Megan now specializes in surprise proposals, engagements, and intimate elopements, along with family portraits and headshots. She’s known for her warm, outgoing energy and her eye for detail, whether she’s shooting at sunrise on the beach, chasing golden sunsets, or flying high above the island in a helicopter session. Her work combines artistry, connection, and the natural beauty of Hawaii to create timeless, heartfelt images.
my approach
golden hour
My approach is relaxed, genuine, and centered around connection and having fun. I want you to feel comfortable, confident, and completely yourself in front of the camera. Whether it’s a surprise proposal, a sunrise session, or a quiet moment between loved ones, my goal is to capture the emotion and beauty as it unfolds naturally. I’ll guide you when needed but also let the candid magic happen—because those in-between moments often become the most cherished.
