Our story

We're Megan and Ryan Vander Ploeg, and we are a married photo and video duo who are passionate about capturing meaningful stories. Since 2019, we’ve been serving clients—originally as VP Video Productions, LLC—before growing into what is now Stonewater Media. We primarily film and photograph weddings, commercial projects, corporate events, and projects for non-profits and faith-based organizations.

Our love for storytelling drives everything we do, and we find joy in bringing those stories to life through our cameras. Alongside our work, we also collaborate with a handful of trusted partners and associates in the wedding, commercial, and non-profit industries, allowing us to serve our clients with excellence and care.
