Meg grew up in the small town of St. Helena in Napa Valley, raised in a pioneering winemaking family amid vineyards, food, wine, and a natural spirit of joie de vivre that shaped her artistic vision. Drawn to photography from an early age - complete with her own darkroom in high school - she went on to study photojournalism and social documentary photography as an art history major at UC Berkeley.
While working for a National Geographic photographer, a friend’s wedding sparked an unexpected shift, and what began as a favor soon became a calling.
Meg has been entrusted to photograph the weddings and private celebrations of actors, musicians, cultural leaders, and public figures. She has photographed the weddings of Anne Hathaway, Jimmy Kimmel, Governor of California Gavin Newsom, LeAnn Rimes, and the late Robin Williams, among others.
ABOUT
Meg’s background shapes her signature approach: elegant, honest, effortlessly refined, yet unfussy. Known for her calm presence and elevated artistry, she documents and creates images with a timeless, natural sensibility.
Her portfolio includes campaigns for Men’s Wearhouse - most notably their first same-sex ad campaign - as well as multi-day events for Chanel.
She has worked extensively with Michelin-star chefs as the official photographer for Team USA at the Bocuse d’Or culinary competition in Lyon, France, when the US won silver and gold, respectively.
As time allows, Meg is also a mentor to other creatives, working with photographers to refine their craft, elevate their vision, and build enduring careers.
When she’s not behind the camera, she’s spending time with her son, the youngest captain at a three-Michelin-star restaurant; traveling with her partner; hiking with friends; or deepening her yoga practice - she is a certified instructor.
Meg divides her time between the Bay Area and Los Angeles and is available for commissions near and far, from intimate and relaxed to elevated and grand. She travels internationally with a valid U.S. passport and understands more French and Spanish than she speaks.
“We are so thankful for you.
You have captured so beautifully and perfectly the most important moments of our lives.”
-Jessica (Futo) and Rob Armillo
