Get to knOw me, your photographer
Hey there! I'm Morgan but if you're reading this then I'd hope you already know that! I just wanted to take this quick second to thank you again for choosing me to be apart of your big day, I am sure everyone says this but I am genuinely so appreciative of every single person that picks me. I was always told to treat every client like they could be my last and that's a message I've listened to. By going through this investment page you're now one step closer to locking me in and being able to cross another thing off your To Do List.
The experience you have on your wedding day means everything. And when booking me as your wedding photographer, I feel that quality should be equally as paramount as the experience when working together.
I want you to be smiling, laughing, and feeling at ease throughout the entire process. I want you to trust in me 100%, and I want us to be friends. I'll be celebrating with you every step of the way.
The experience is so important as well for personal reasons as well. After all, your wedding photographer is the one person who will by your side more than any other person on your wedding day (other than your partner, of course)! So, hiring a photographer who has not only the style of photography you are wanting to cherish forever, but also a fun, outgoing attitude is so important - and that's exactly what you get with me.
And not to worry - I will coach every couple through their portrait session, I will help you keep on track with your schedule on your wedding day, and will I be cracking jokes with you all day long. Simply, we will have so much FUN together with everything along the way. And that's the way it should be.
Let's have fun!

Questions & Answers
Frequently Asked
Q: How long have you been a photographer?
A: I have been photographing weddings exclusively since 2015 BUT I've had a camera in my hands years before that. All the way through high school I was the yearbook photo editor, and carried a camera with me everywhere I went. At this point I think I've been a photographer longer than I havent been!
Q: How many weddings have you photographed?
A: I've photographed over 100 weddings in the past 5 years between primary and secondary shooting. When I say there isn't a lot I haven't seen I mean it!!
Q: Do I need a second photographer?
A: I always recommend hiring a second photographer. Not only does this guarantee more photos for you but it also increases the quality overall. I am a one man machine, I can be everywhere at once but hiring a second photographer allows me the time during your wedding day to take a few extra minutes and really dial in the quality of details, portraits, and set ups. I end up shooting 80% of all of my weddings WITH a second photographer so it is absolutely a huge recommendation from me. After all, what's better than hiring me to photograph your wedding? Hiring two of me to photograph your wedding!
Q: Do I need an engagement session?
A: That totally depends on your needs. You can use the photos for your save-the-dates, invitations, website registries, guest books, framed prints for your guest table, bar, and your house... and of course Facebook & Instagram! Plus, it's a way for you to get a little practice in front of the camera before your big day and it gives us an opportunity to get to know each other. Personally, I highly recommend it. And heck, it's also a really great way to add to your experience as an engaged couple. Make the most of it!
Q: What kind of equipment do you use?
A: This might start getting a bit technical, but I personally use two Canon R5's and all Canon L glass. My strobes and modifiers are all Profoto. I spare no expense to make sure that everything I use is the highest quality for not only myself but for my couples as well. Every moment matters - and this is where the 10+ years of experience really kicks in.
Q: Do you offer any albums, prints, canvases, guest books, etc?
A: Totally! But I want you feeling 1,000% comfortable and excited about the quality of your photographs before placing orders on those. That way, you only order exactly what you want, when you want, and when you know with confidence that they are going to look amazing on your walls and in your fine art heirloom albums.
Q: Do you offer payment plans?
A: Yes, I do! Traditional payments are 50% due at the time of booking (within a week) and the final 50% is due 30 days prior to your wedding day. But, if you wanted to do the payment plan, I can stretch it into equal 1/3's or 1/4's if that works best for you. Just let me know what you prefer, and I will make it happen. It's that easy.
Q: God forbid, what happens if you aren't able to make it to our big day?
In the super unlikely event that I am too ill, injured, or there's some other emergency, I have a list of colleagues that I can call on to replace me that have similar styles of photography. That said, in the 5+ years I've been doing this full-time, I have never even been 60 seconds late. You're in good hands. I promise.
Q: How do I book you for my wedding day?
A: Love that question the most! To book me for your special day, simply let me know what you want included in your custom collection: 1) Number of hours of coverage, 2) Engagement session (optional), 3) Second photographer or none (optional), and 4) What payment plan option works best for you.
