Cheers to doing it your own way
City hall, Las Vegas, the beach of lake Michigan - where we heading? The best thing about eloping is you get to call 100% of the shots on your wedding day. Regardless of what you choose, one thing is true - you're going to be freakin' amped and excited to be married. And that? That's worth documenting.
Elopements are not a a one-size-fits-all experience but often require a balance of documentary images with guidance during the posed photos. There's an emphasis on the intimacy, spontaneity and pure emotion of the day. To make that happen, you need a photographer who can:
we're not flies on the wall, we're friends in the room. Someone who knows when to step in for those classic shots, but also when to hang back and let the magic unfold naturally.
You deserve to have genuine, candid moments - the tears, the laughs, the love- captured in a way that feels like a natural extension of you.
"Morgan took the time to understand our vision and goals for the day - which included remaining present, enjoying heartfelt moments with friends and family, and soaking in all the joy. We were able to get SO MANY amazing photos - both directed by Morgan, and also captured organically. Our wedding wouldn't have been the same without her, and we could not thank her enough for her work in preserving the moments, energy, and emotion of our day. She is truly the best - as a photographer and as a person." - Gaby & Matty

You'll receive your gallery digitallly, but we don't stop there. A meticulously curated storefront is attached to your online gallery so you & your family can print print print. After all of this planning, investing, and celebration, your images deserve to be more than a file number on a screen. Of course, you have a print release with your package you can print from anywhere, but we're here to guide you through luxury albums and prints if you so wish!
more than
just digital
Film is a fluid part of our process. It's not an add-on or upcharge because we believe that it's an integral part of storytelling and artistic play. You'll find film photos sprinkled in your gallery, and if we know you love film, we'll lean into it even more.
35mm
for the art
With 375+ weddings under our belt, that's over 10,000 hours of just wedding day coverage. What's the saying about how you need 10,000 hour to become an expert in your craft?
Trust us when we say, we've seen it all. We'll be there rain or shine, ready with a perfect plan B if needed. Our experience ensures that even in the midst of the expected (and unexpected) chaos, your gallery won't be compromised.
we're experts, truly
Your gallery will be filled with curated, high-resolution, retouched, and mindfully edited photos. We deliver a gallery that truly looks like your day - great skin tones, properly exposed shadows and highlights, and true to color included. Our editing is inspired by the original days of film and won't look trendy when you reflect on them in the decades to come
an edit for legacy
Legacy > trends. While we love a good Pinterest board or viral video, we enter your wedding day knowing it's so much more.
Even the most intimate weddings deserve celebration and storytelling. We want you to be fully immersed into enjoying your moment of marriage, with incredible photos that feel like yours at the end of the day.
imagery you can cherish
We don't just want photos to look candid, we want them to FEEL and BE candid. While we'll always guide you towards a window for the best light, we operate the day with a fine balance of taking the lead when needed and stepping back to anticipate the best moments that unfold naturally, making the wedding day (and photos) uniquely yours.

as featured in
After 13 years in the wedding industry, there's one thing I've realized over time: no matter the joy, the chaos, the grandiosity or simplicity, what matters most in all of this is your legacy.
I step into every wedding ready to take on the the highest of high moments and to anticipate quiet un-fabricated seconds that most might not recognize as beautiful.
Your gallery will be full of energy, emotion, people, and a photo-journalistic timelessness. But most of all, it will be truly your own.

Gallery Highlights
Paige and Michael decided to elope in Greece and have a larger reception upon arrival back home. They wanted to make sure that their elopement day was casual, fun, and meaningful. The morning was spent walking to the local florist for a bouquet, scouting out the nearby locations for their favorite spots, and getting ready at their villa. They read vows at sunset and we spent the evening doing portraits and celebrating in the city.

Jessica and Zach eloped at Chicago City Hall and had the best time wandering around the city afterwards for portraits. I made sure to have locations picked out on a "walking tour" so they weren't stuck in one place for photos and it felt natural and candid. They elected to not have photos of the ceremony and just get photos taken afterwards with family and then proceed to portrait time!
