Kept Record | Photography by Morgan Pirkle

We hired Morgan for our elopement with our families in Yucca Valley. She helped us to map out the day and plan ahead for ways to make the day stress free and special. Morgan jumped right in with our families and seamlessly kept things moving to capture so many special moments. She went beyond our expectations to make us all comfortable and even accommodated my very shy dog by brining toys for her to ensure she'd join for photos!! Morgan's warmth and personality were a delightful addition to her talents as a photographer. We’ve seen some sneak peek pictures and they are exactly what we are hoping for. We can’t wait to see the rest!!

Morgan was very good at getting us to loosen up and be less awkward (neither of us are very photogenic). She was always down with any new ideas we sprung on her at the last minute too! she captured our special day perfectly. We are extremely happy with both our engagement and wedding photos. We definitely recommend having Morgan there to record your special moments, whatever they may be.

Five stars aren't enough. STOP your search for a photographer because you've found her. If you want to look back at your day and remember how you felt, see what other people were seeing that maybe you weren't, and instantly be transported back to a particular moment, hire Morgan. If you want a friend and a hype woman who happens to be amazing with a camera, hire Morgan! We were given Morgan's name from another photographer way back in 2019. Photography was one of the top priorities for my wedding day, and we were instantly drawn to the natural, candid nature of her photos. We met for the first time in Malibu for our engagement photos, which we absolutely adored. Morgan knows how to make anyone feel comfortable in front of a camera, even when doing silly walking photos or kissing in front of random passerby's. Our "big" wedding got postponed due to COVID, but we chose to get legally married on our original date in August 2020. Even though only a handful of people were going to be there, we knew we wanted Morgan to capture the day. Luckily, Morgan is an expert on elopements herself and not only agreed to take our photos, but essentially became our mini planner as well! Once we established our location, Morgan drove up to Santa Barbara wine country, took amazing photos, then packed up and moved to Utah THE NEXT DAY! Not to mention, she sent us our sneak peeks by 9am the morning after our elopement!!! We were absolutely blown away by her support and dedication in making our elopement feel romantic and special. We finally had our long-awaited "big" wedding in October 2021. With two full galleries and hundreds of emails exchanged over two years, we couldn't wait to work with Morgan again. As with the two times before, she made us feel incredibly comfortable on our wedding day and captured so many beautiful moments. Our family and bridal party were so complimentary of working with Morgan on the wedding day and of her photos. We haven't even gotten the full gallery yet but based on the sneak peeks, I know that I'm going to cry!! Thank you, Morgan, for preserving countless memories through your beautiful photos.

Morgan is such an amazing photographer! She is such a calming presence, and she really makes the whole process so enjoyable and easy. She captured real moments of me and my family, and I was so incredibly happy with the finished product. Morgan was also great with communication every step of the way! I can't recommend her enough!
