First up is Meg Smith. Meg works locally in San Francisco and Los Angeles, but home has always been Napa Valley, California.
Previously, she was the official photographer for Team USA at the Bocuse d’Or (the biannual “culinary olympics”) in Lyon, France. Under the leadership of Chef Thomas Keller, the team brought home silver one year and gold the next! Meg has also photographed several cookbooks (one of them earning a silver medal in the IPPY cookbook-specialty awards.)
Her work has focused on the good life: celebrations, gatherings, and meaningful connections – often around food and wine, and often in the most beautiful settings. During her early career she photographed the weddings of Anne Hathaway, Jimmy Kimmel, LeAnn Rimes, Governor of California, Gavin Newsom, and the late Robin Williams, among others. She was honored to photograph the first same-sex lifestyle-fashion wedding campaign for the Men’s Wearhouse (Tailored Brands) which catapulted her into the commercial photography realm full-time.
Her subject matter casts a wide net, but a common thread throughout is an easeful elegance, and a relaxed California aesthetic.
