Here’s my process
The Shoot:
Don’t worry, I love chaos. Great wedding photos happen when the bride and groom (and the people they love!) are enjoying the moment. That’s why I’ll do everything in my power to put you at ease.
No matter what your big day brings our way, we’ll make it work. Often it is the unexpected that makes the magic happen. And weddings are full of magic!
I promise, you’re going to end up with pictures you love.
The Edits:
I’ve been in business since July 2009, and I know how much my clients anticipate their photos. That’s why I return photos on time, every time. That’s a two-week turnaround for weddings. I give my full attention to each project – one project at a time – until it’s done. I get photos back to people quickly so they can see how beautiful the day turned out. That’s the joy of being a wedding photographer.
The Final Images:
For a flat rate, I offer the best of both worlds: you own the digital images and have access to an online gallery that allows you to download all of your digital images with just one click. Through the gallery, you can also easily share photos with friends and family and order prints from a professional quality lab. Prints ordered from this lab are available to you at cost, with no additional markup (in other words, you’ll save a ton on prints!).

Reviews
Morgan and her day of assistant Melissa were great and worked with us to get the photos we wanted. They had preview photos ready before our honeymoon, and the rest delivered by the time we returned. They were ready and prepared for rain so we didn’t miss any of the shots we cared about. They were also very patient with the younger members of our wedding party. We are very pleased with our wedding in a tree house during a thunderstorm photography and appreciate their care and flexibility so much.

The first time I became familiar with Morgan’s photography skills was when my husband-to-be hired her to shoot our engagement. We loved her and her work so much that we hired her to shoot our rehearsal and wedding. Of course, Morgan exceeded our expectations. She goes above and beyond to make her clients happy. She is friendly and cheerful which makes it really easy to feel comfortable around her and therefore leads to natural smiles in pictures. She is also affordable and completely upfront about her pricing and services. My husband and I got married in June with a first look at the Washington Duke Inn, ceremony at the Duke Chapel, and a reception at the University Club. Morgan was very familiar with all of those spaces and seamlessly moved with us through the day. She was well-versed in the long list of Duke Chapel photography rules and communicated really well with everyone to get all the shots that I wanted. She worked with me prior to the wedding to talk about specific shots that I envisioned and the really strict schedule that I wanted to follow. She executed everything flawlessly, we ran on time the entire day, and I got every shot that I wanted. I never felt rushed and I never worried about Morgan missing something. She was everywhere she needed to be at all the right times. My husband and I are were so surprised when she sent us a few pictures within 12 hours of the wedding. She proceeded to send us our entire edited rehearsal dinner and wedding albums (2000+ pictures) within a week! Morgan uses a really convenient website where we could download our images and order high quality prints. She also mailed us a flash drive with all of our images. In sum, I would hire her again in a heartbeat!

Morgan shot both our engagement and wedding photos, and they were amazing photos that captured our joyful moments beautifully! She is an expert with using light, scenery and composition, and we want to print out every photo she sent us! She and her second photographer were extremely dedicated, warm and friendly which made us completely at ease when working with them. After the photoshoots, Morgan was very fast in editing the images, we got the “sneak peak” of some highlights in less than a day, and she finished editing our wedding photos after three days (with such great quality)!! We cannot say enough good things about her work, will come back to her for family photos in the future as our household slowly grows in size 🙂

We couldn’t have chosen a better photographer to capture our big day! She was always courteous, helpful, encouraging, organized, and provided us with so many great ideas! Her prices are super reasonable (best deal around)! Morgan’s photos are timeless and classic! Beautiful work! We love them! I hope that she branches out into other forms of photography because I would love to call on her again for future life events!

If I had to use one word to describe Morgan as a photographer it would be FUN! I initially chose her because of her experience shooting pets and I wanted to have our dog in our engagement photos (which she is really good at, by the way). She made us feel so comfortable during our engagement photos and she really listened to the style that we wanted. At the wedding she did a wonderful job of blending into the background and not making us feel like we were surrounded by paparazzi. We got so many beautiful posed shots as well as fun, action shots on the dance floor. And she is also FAST! We had the photos from our wedding within a week and a few previews right after the wedding. Morgan is the type of photographer who actually wants to get to know you as a couple and takes time to listen to what you want. I am so happy that we chose her to document our special day!
