PUBLISHED WORK
Thanks so much for popping by the blog. You can find a ton of my most recent work here so poke around. If you really want to get to know me follow my instagram feed. Warning! Lots of images of my two greatest loves, Eloise Eve (3) and Tate Aaron (1) .... so wonderful to have you following along. I'll try my best to keep everything as lovely as possible. xoxo, Meg
Rarely do we get the opportunity to take nice family pictures and it seems as though I am talking about them nonstop on here so maybe a proper introduction is needed? - Septembers wedding of Mario and Nikki brought our family together in one place all wearing pretty nice clothes so- why not! Thanks to Tim for snapping most of these. True talent ;)
Just for comparison:

Two weeks ago I was honored to shoot my cousin Mario's wedding to Nikki! That post will be up soon but look! Here's me being a GUEST with my little sister Emma. More embarrassing photos of me to come ;)
p.s. we're dancing to "Shout!"
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Mom!!! Don't worry, I won't make a big fuss over it- just going to post this beautiful picture of you. If I could be so lucky to look this beautiful when I turn.. 32.. (?)
All right, It's happening- I am so sorry to all my end of August/September clients- I am too busy to blog. I have too many weddings to keep up with blogging weekly. I promise that over the next couple months I will start slowly cranking these guys out (including more Guatemala photos) - patience is a virtue, please be patient!
For now, here is a picture of Laura, me, and Danielle from the photo booth at Jennifer and Paul's wedding at The Adamson House last weekend! (It was my third wedding of the weekend- excuse the enormous bags under my eyes ;) )
Off to San Jose to shoot my cousins wedding and hopefully enjoy myself and actually have some drinks and dance! :)
Since I've been so swamped with actual work in the photo department de Meg Perotti I've had little time to do anything to my photographs from my trip to Guatemala a few weeks back. I uploaded them to a flickr account that I have for family and friends to peruse but I really wanted to present them in a way that I felt I saw them. So there will be three posts, one for Antigua, one for Volcano Pacaya, and one for our stay at Lake Atitlan.
Mikey, Mason, and I met in the 6th grade... which means we've known each other for 12 years! That is half our lives.... We spent some of our most awkward years together, then spent some of our most important years apart, and still came out of it all friends. Many of my high school dance photos either include Mikey or Mason as my date. :) So, when Mason got his Peace Corps assignment almost two years ago we immediately decided this would be a great opportunity to get out of the country and visit him together. Our plan originally involved our good friend Marie, but some things complicated her situation and at the last minute she wasn't able to come. We had to kind of re-evaluate and re-excite ourselves for the trip but as soon as our eyes started taking in the volcano's from the airplanes decent into Guatemala City we knew this trip was going to be amazing. Despite everything we saw my favorite moments by far we had the last night, sitting atop the roof at our beautiful hotel, Meson Panze Verde, drinks in hand, chatting about life- past and present. These men have been two constant blessings in my world and I am so thankful to still have them in my life. We guide each other through moments good and bad and continue to experience things together years past our high school days. Hopefully this trip is one of many to come.
Mason rode with our driver to the airport to make sure we got into Antigua from Guatemala City okay. We stopped at his $4/night "hotel" first to grab his stuff. Honestly, I think these photos do this place justice. Mikey and I were really excited to get Mason to our hotel and let him feel pampered a bit... seriously folks, this place was .... whew...only Mason.
Our hotel, Meson Panze Verde. As Mason said, "They have CHEESE! TWO KINDS! AND I can drink the water right out of the faucet!" Isn't he cute.
Mason teaching us the proper way to eat our "Chuchitos." This was our first of many.
The first afternoon we were exhausted from flying over night but all amped up from being in this foreign place. We decided rather than nap to take a walk around Antigua.
Mason got his boots shined for, like, 5 quetzales.
These were our first ruins... I think I took 300 photos here. Seriously!
There are laws against the colors you can paint the outside of buildings in Antigua. Many of them look like the photo on the left... beautiful details like this are all over this city- all complimenting the women in traditional Mayan dress that roam the streets selling goods.
I felt bad about this one.... I didn't mean to catch him falling- it just happened.
Our last day in Antigua... we hiked up to this look out point. I can't remember what volcano we were looking at, maybe Agua? But it was so peaceful... we spent awhile in silence just staring at this landscape not sure what we were feeling.
Antigua...
Lake Atitlan up next... when ever I find some more free time. :)
Back from Guatemala- blogs to come.
Coming up: Lori and Lee's wedding in Tiburon, CA
Thanks for being patient you guys, I have been in and out of town all month. Promise Lori and Lee's wedding is worth the wait. My weekend in Tiburon was perfect.
