Morgan is, hands down, the best wedding photographer I could’ve ask for! I first met her when I was a bridesmaid at my friends’ weddings, and after seeing her in action, I knew she...
’d be my photographer one day. Morgan brings the most amazing, positive energy to the day, and since you’ll be spending your entire wedding day with your photographer, it makes such a huge impact having someone who’s fun to be with, makes you feel beautiful, and who you know will work hard to get every single shot just right.
I’m not naturally someone who knows how to pose in photos, but Morgan was absolutely incredible at helping us look and feel natural. She went above and beyond, fixing my veil, adjusting my dress, and even giving me those little reminders (like adding lipstick before sunset photos!) that made such a difference.
Not only was her and her team focused on capturing us newlyweds; she’s also a pro at coordinating big groups. We had a bridal party of 20 and 18 immediate family members, all excited to jump into the celebration, but she managed to keep everyone on track and got the exact shots we wanted with our family and friends. She and her assistant, Jay, worked tirelessly the entire day, and seeing how much care and effort they put into every single shot meant the world to us.
I absolutely can’t wait to see our photos. I’ve seen her work through my friends, and she always delivers such beautiful memories. If you’re looking for timeless, stunning photos that you’ll treasure forever, hiring Morgan is the best decision you can make. She’s truly amazing, and I couldn’t imagine our day without her!
Morgan was the perfect choice for our wedding photographer. She kept us calm all day and brought a fun team along with her to keep things light. She worked really well with our vid...
eographers, despite not having met them before. It felt like she was meant to be a part of the celebration, and we are so happy with how our photos turned out!
When we were looking for a photographer for our wedding one of the biggest things we focused on was the way a photographer could capture the energy of the day. It was important tha...
t they could take our portraits but also make sure to capture our family & friends in a way that made the pictures come to life.
Once we saw Morgan's work, we instantly felt like we were transported to a Bride & Grooms wedding day, as if we were there. The energy she provided in her work and the way she captured the joy of the bride & groom, family and friends an overall wedding was exactly what we were looking for in a photographer.
Then we meet Morgan and wow the energy and charisma matched her work! We ended up speaking more about us as a couple, how me and her grew up in similar areas, how we had similar interests and then talked about her work with weddings. It felt like we had been friends for years. My husband literally said, "Wow did you two just become best friends", once we got off the phone.
Once we started working with Morgan in booking our wedding and planning our engagement photos the real fun began! I was so nervous for the engagement photos because a photoshoot was slightly overwhelming for both me and my fiancé but Morgan made it so fun and effortless. She perfectly captured us and the fun we like to have as a couple.
Going into the wedding process, Morgan was extremely helpful with recommendations for vendors, check-ins through the planning process and sitting down with us a month before to make sure we were ready come the big day.
Like most brides going into your wedding there can be a ton of anticipation just because there is a ton of build up to one big day. I remember being nervous but then I saw Morgan and her team and truly my nerves went away because I knew I was in the best hands. She made my husband, myself, our families, wedding party and friends feel so comfortable. She captured the energy of the day, of Elliot's and I special moments and even went above and beyond to get the detail photos of my dream. Our golden hour photos are so gorgeous that its hard to believe its me and my husband in the photos.
I am so thankful that we meet Morgan and got to work with her on our wedding. I couldn’t recommend her more and will continue to cheerlead her work for years to come!
Hiring Morgan for our July 2022 wedding was one of the best things David and I could have done. Since day one, Morgan was detail-oriented, kind, loving and so, so talented.
Be...
fore the wedding: Morgan was so easy to communicate with and created our wedding photography timeline months in advance. We had multiple phone-calls with Morgan to discuss logistics, where, once again, Morgan displayed kindness, flexibility, and professionalism.
Day of: Okay, wow. As I told Morgan myself, I cannot thank her enough. Morgan literally SAVED the day. Her and her assistant photographer were the kindest and funniest people. David and I aren’t very “picture people” but Morgan helped us relax and made us so comfortable in MINUTES. Morgan and her team were able to work with the large groups of people – everyone LOVED them. Morgan was not only my photographer but my dress bustler, make-up retoucher, supporter, dancer, and biggest fan.
Photographs: Morgan is SO, SO talented!!! We are so, so, so in love with our photographs. She truly displayed the best day of our life in such a beautiful way. The color and editing is truly so crisp and elegant.
We 100% recommend Morgan to capture a special moment in your life - we definitely will. Thank you Morgan!
Morgan is so kind and her photos are incredible! She really captured our personalities and was such a joy to work with leading up to our wedding day and on our wedding day. We abso...

ughout the day, dealing with any issues that arose and helping with beauty emergencies. Her positive energy and laid back nature made her a pleasure to work with... but THE PICTURES! The pictures prove the value. Thank you forever, Morgan!
I cannot say enough positive things about Morgan. We traveled across the country for our small destination wedding, and it can feel kind of daunting to plan something in a place yo...
u’ve never been; but Morgan helped us every step of the way. She helped us with the permits we would need for the National Park we were going to, and made the process of planning that much smoother. And then the day of she just made us feel so relaxed; we told her what we were looking for in our photos and she took those notes and DELIVERED! She was so outgoing, fun, and kind; and made the moment feel so special for us both. We now look at our GORGEOUS photos she gave us with joy and a bundle of great memories. If you need a photographer, trust me when I say there is nobody better than Morgan.
My husband and I are so grateful to Morgan and will treasure the photos of our wedding forever. Having good photos was very important to us so we started searching for photographer...
s as soon as we had a venue and found our way to Morgan. Morgan was so great and understanding when we had to postpone our wedding multiple times. My husband and I are not great at being the center of attention, but Morgan made things so easy and comfortable. She is very professional and detail-oriented. Our photos turned out AMAZING! We are so grateful to Morgan for everything and can't recommend her highly enough.
When we first started looking for a photographer, we were extremely overwhelmed. However, when we found Morgan, it was an easy choice. Morgan was wonderful to work with. She has a...
vibrant energy that made us feel comfortable from the moment we met her. Let’s be honest, we experienced two milestone moments, and she was there among our closest friends and family. It just felt right from the first time we met. Our engagement photos were beyond magical…included sunset shots of tequila to stay warm in Joshua Tree and In-N-Out for dinner. The wedding was a dream, and she was the curator.
The best part is she is very talented in her work! It was easy to see from our first meeting for our engagement shoot that she is passionate about what she does, which is curate moments in time that reflect a quality and emotion that is uniquely her style. Morgan’s talent is one of those that does extremely well under pressure. On our wedding day we were literally bouncing around the entire dinner and taking photos with dozens of people with changing lighting, and she took it in stride. We feel privileged to have gotten to know her a bit throughout the process and recommend her to anyone that is seeking a true professional. In the end, we felt as though we became friends during the process. We are not only satisfied with her work but will certainly reach back out for her services in the future.
Morgan went above and beyond as our wedding photographer. Her photos are perfectly edited with a classy and timeless detailed style. She not only listened to my vision as a bride b...
ut she had great photo ideas to add as well. I’m sooo happy. I made the best choice on having her document our special day. My wedding photos have received many compliments. I love them so much. She is also very easy to talk to. Morgan helped me feel calm and comfortable on my wedding day and she also touched up my lipgloss a few times! She’s seriously the best!!
The photos are great! Morgan is really good with how to make people look natural. The photo session was relaxing and easy!
Morgan is an amazing photographer. I originally selected Morgan to photograph our wedding for her beautiful photos and editing style. Our wedding was originally planned for May 202...
0, rescheduled, and ultimately canceled due to COVID and in lieu, we ended up having a small family ceremony and dinner. Through all the changes, Morgan was flexible and easy to work with. The day of our wedding, she was extremely helpful throughout the entire process. The photos perfectly captured the emotions of the day. We are so happy with the outcome! Morgan is extremely kind-hearted and excllent at her job. My family did not have enough good things to say about her. I would recommend Morgan to anyone!
We loved working with Morgan as our photographer for our wedding in October of 2020! We went with her because we loved her aesthetic with moody tones, which was perfect for the des...
ert backdrop in Arizona we chose to celebrate our big day. As a bride and groom, photos are the most important piece of your day because they’ll be what you look back on to remember it all and Morgan goes above and beyond with her work to deliver stunning images. She made every photo fun for us and she did everything to get the perfect shot - even peaking behind cactus and standing over spiky bushes to get it just right. She was by our side the whole night snapping away too. Not once did I have to check where she was, she was always ready to snap away whenever we wanted a group shot or a candid. She really is amazing at her craft and made us look like we could be on the cover of Vogue in the end results- that’s a direct comment from one of our dear friends! She is worth every penny!
Morgan is super easy to communicate with, walked us through our schedule. She was pretty much my maid of honor. She went above and beyond on our wedding day. Made our wedding day s...
o easy and memorable. Couldn’t be happier with the results. I will always recommend Morgan to anyone who is looking for a photographer. She did both our engagement photos and our wedding photos.
when i first started our search for a wedding photographer, i was so overwhelmed with the array of choices on instagram. so many talented photographers but which one is the right o...
ne for me?! if what i’m describing resonates with how you’re feeling, seriously stop and look no further because morgan is THE one!! obviously i don’t have to say much because her photography and editing skills say it all but she is so much more than a person behind the camera! she really took the time to get to know us and understand who we are as a couple and she genuinely makes you feel so cared for. morgan is kind, so flexible (which was such a blessing especially trying to plan a wedding during pandemic times!), friendly, understanding, patient, so on top of things, and makes you feel at home. we are so thrilled with how our wedding photos turned out and i cannot wait to make photo albums and post pictures on our walls! when i casually showed my mom our wedding photo gallery, my mom seriously ended up spending nearly 2 hrs on my phone looking through all the pictures. my mom is still talking about these photos. needless to say, my family loves morgan and her work too! i am so happy and honored to have had morgan as a part of our wedding day, to the point where i don’t plan to say goodbye to her and decided that for whatever future milestones we experience - whether it be pregnancy, kids, christmas cards - i am without a second thought going to call up morgan. she is our forever photographer!!! i love her and you will too, trust me on this!
When my husband and I started searching for a wedding photographer for our big day we were overwhelmed. Morgan came highly recommended by a friend. We fell in love with her style o...
f photography the second we looked at her Instagram and website. Her photo style was exactly what we had envisioned for our engagement and wedding pictures. We inquired about her services and she responded quickly to set up a phone conversation.
As soon as we spoke with Morgan we were confident she would be a perfect fit for us! She is so warm, knowledgeable, and understood exactly what we wanted. We set up an engagement photo shoot and booked for our wedding.
We were unsure of exactly where to take our engagement pictures and Morgan’s suggestion was amazing. Our engagement pictures were stunning! My husband and I are horrible at getting good pictures of us together and she was great at telling us exactly what to do. The end result was natural looking beautiful pictures.
On our wedding day, Morgan didn’t disappoint. She was professional and fun to work with. Our wedding pictures were even more gorgeous than I anticipated!! We can’t wait to work with Morgan again. We love her and the amazing quality of her work. She and her work are magical!
Morgan was an absolute DREAM to work with for our wedding! We were referred to her through a friend and we did our engagement photos with her as well. We absolutely loved both of o...
ur wedding and engagement photos and loooved working with her. Neither my husband nor myself had ever gotten professional photos taken and she made us feel SO comfortable. She was extremely friendly, accountable, understanding, patient, creative, thorough, and accommodating. She was very easy to reach and got back to us right away regarding any questions that we had. She really listened to all of the ideas we had for photos and made it all happen. Her work completely exceeded our expectations. Her photos were truly breath taking and we couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. I can’t tell you how many complements we have received on our photos. I HIGHLY recommend Morgan to anyone seeking a professional, dependable, and incredible photographer!! You will not be disappointed.
It's hard to even describe how amazing Morgan is, but let me try. Right from the beginning, it is apparent that she truly CARES about you and your fiance. This is not just a job fo...
r her, it's her passion, and she wants to understand as much as possible about her couples and THEIR goals for their big day. She is an incredibly hard worker so when she's shooting she is in the zone, but also able to tend to your personal needs as the bride and groom - the entire time she's asking if there's anything you need, if you want to take a break, if you want to get a quick touch up or need help with your veil. She can also command a group which is HUGE. When you have a large wedding party like we did, you need a photographer who can wrangle the troops. All of this ON TOP OF her stunning work. She spent hours upon hours editing our photos and I can't thank her enough. I look at them often and think to myself, how is it possible to have this many photos that I'm obsessed with. I should also probably mention that we got married on New Year's Eve and we wanted the entire day captured as well as the midnight countdown. This meant a 12 hour day for Morgan. CHAMP. All around - prep work, day of, wrangling, shooting, kind heart, amazing photographer, neurotic editor - you will not regret booking her. She's also just an adorable hard working mother of two, so being around her is inspiring. THANK YOU MORGAN FOR CAPTURING EVERY TENDER, CRAZY, WONDERFUL MOMENT OF OUR SPECIAL DAY. WE LOVE YOU!!!
Morgan is absolutely incredible! I knew she was the photographer I wanted to work with years before I even got engaged and I was so thrilled when she agreed to work with me. She is...
warm, talented, professional, and also makes you feel so comfortable. I am in love with our photos and wish we could do the day all over again so that I can be immersed in Morgan's positive energy.
When it comes to wedding photography, there is a whole lot of average out there and it can be easy to make the wrong choice. With Morgan, we quickly realized how incredible her wor...
k truly was. Her portfolio and Instagram profile was an absolute dream, and we were really hoping we would get something even half as good as the other weddings. -We ended up getting better, our photos turned out to be an absolute jaw dropper! She captured every perfect moment between my husband and I and showed all the details we put in to our wedding along with our friends and family with an artistic/natural twist.
Our first interaction with Morgan felt so natural, as if we were meeting with an old friend. She is incredibly easy to talk to and has the kindest soul. She asked all the right questions, prepared me for what was going to happen on our wedding day, and even helped me with picking my bridesmaids dress colors! Morgan is truly a natural when it comes to photography. Hiring her was by far, THE best decision we made when looking for our engagement and wedding day photographer! I still drool over every photo you took of us!
Morgan is everything you could ever want in a photographer. Shes professional, on time, and of ours takes beautiful photos. We had a large family and had lots of pictures to get th...
rough, she was very patient and thoughtful with every pic.
Stop your search now and book Morgan as your photographer!! There aren't enough amazing things I can say about her!! The photos she takes are absolutely STUNNING (one look at her I...
nstagram page and I knew I needed to book her for my wedding - you will do the same), she is extremely talented, so easy to get along with and she really makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera. I am so in love with my engagement and wedding photos I knew I wanted her to photograph my growing family too. As expected, she delivered the most beautiful photos of my pregnancy and recently captured my little family. She is hands down the BEST photographer out there, you will not be disappointed!
Morgan, thank you for giving me and my family the most beautiful photos for us to look at time and time again! Xo
Morgan will be your best friend, wedding planner and confidant aside from taking the most beautiful pictures!!

Look no further, Morgan is the best of the best!

ncredibly reasonable. Do not hesitate to book her - she's going to book out and only get that much more in demand. We adore you, Morgan. Thank you for everything!
This review is long (and) overdue, but I can't emphasize how talented Morgan is as a photographer. When looking for an engagement/wedding photographer, my now-husband and I were lo...
oking for 3 main things -- Photos that weren't overly edited/seemed fake, someone we can easily get along with, and didn't charge an arm and a leg. We figured it wouldn't be that hard since most of our friends were already married. But believe me when I say that we looked into tonsss of photographers in the SoCal area and we were lucky enough to find Morgan.
Morgan is so easy to talk to and hang out with, which made our engagement session fun and not awkward. I was on crutches at the time and not only was she able to accommodate me/us with the location, but she took some bomb photos and it didn't look like I was injured at all. Our wedding was pretty hectic, but Morgan was there and everywhere the entire time, and she captured every part of our wedding so beautifully. Needless to say, our photos came out amaaazing.
Morgan is so thoughtful of her clients, genuinely cares about them, and just a wonderful human being overall. Anyone would be lucky to have her as a photographer and we definitely can't recommend her enough :)
Morgan is hands down the best photographer out there. I can’t put in words how happy and lucky we are to be able to relive our dream wedding through the most beautiful photographs ...
taken by this talented photographer! We couldn’t be happier! Thank you so much Morgan🥰✨♥️
I cannot say enough about how INCREDIBLE this talented lady is. Not only are her images stunning, she really takes the time to understand her clients and what they are looking for....
I am SO happy that we found her and that she was able to capture our engagement photos, but more importantly our big day. Morgan and her assistant caught moments I will cherish forever. It's been three months since our wedding and I still can't stop looking at the photos!
I highly recommend Morgan. She is an incredible photographer, a wonderful person and an incredible soul. You would be crazy to pick someone else :)
