stunning Images that don't take you out of the moment

As a calm and cool presence on your wedding day, I mostly blend into the background to capture the raw emotion and unposed events of the day, only stepping in when necessary to make sure you get the best photos possible.

ABOUT morgan

I work with couples who are laid-back like me, and whose idea of a perfect wedding day is enjoying themselves, not posing for an elaborate photoshoot.

I'm originally from Duxbury, Massachusetts, a quiet coastal town south of Boston. For 9 years I photographed weddings in between Boston and South Florida, before moving to Baltimore where I now reside with my fiancé, Scott. I now photograph weddings all over Maryland, including in Annapolis and the Eastern Shore. 

my approach:

documentary style images

For most of the wedding day I don’t interfere too much, preferring to blend into the background and capture events as they unfold in a documentary style. But, I will also guide you through some natural feeling poses to get some beautiful portraits, and step in when needed to ensure you look your best.

(But i'll make sure you look good!)

WE FELT LIKE MORGAN WAS A                AND NOT JUST A VENDOR.

ABOUT YOU

They want some amazing portraits where they look good, but they want formal portrait time to be minimized. They want candid shots of family and friends having fun. And they want the photos to mostly capture the vibe and essence of the event. 

My clients prefer to spend more time living in the moment with loved ones, and less time posing for photos.

I reconnected later in life with my high school sweetheart and we just got engaged!

My happiest place is by the ocean.

You'll usually find me and Scott on the boat.

I love to shoot film in my personal work while traveling.

Skiing in the winter is a huge passion of mine.
