Five stars aren't enough. STOP your search for a photographer because you've found her.
If you want to look back at your day and remember how you felt, see what other people were seeing that maybe you weren't, and instantly be transported back to a particular moment, hire Morgan. If you want a friend and a hype woman who happens to be amazing with a camera, hire Morgan! We were given Morgan's name from another photographer way back in 2019. Photography was one of the top priorities for my wedding day, and we were instantly drawn to the natural, candid nature of her photos. We met for the first time in Malibu for our engagement photos, which we absolutely adored. Morgan knows how to make anyone feel comfortable in front of a camera, even when doing silly walking photos or kissing in front of random passerby's. Our "big" wedding got postponed due to COVID, but we chose to get legally married on our original date in August 2020. Even though only a handful of people were going to be there, we knew we wanted Morgan to capture the day. Luckily, Morgan is an expert on elopements herself and not only agreed to take our photos, but essentially became our mini planner as well! Once we established our location, Morgan drove up to Santa Barbara wine country, took amazing photos, then packed up and moved to Utah THE NEXT DAY! Not to mention, she sent us our sneak peeks by 9am the morning after our elopement!!! We were absolutely blown away by her support and dedication in making our elopement feel romantic and special. We finally had our long-awaited "big" wedding in October 2021. With two full galleries and hundreds of emails exchanged over two years, we couldn't wait to work with Morgan again. As with the two times before, she made us feel incredibly comfortable on our wedding day and captured so many beautiful moments. Our family and bridal party were so complimentary of working with Morgan on the wedding day and of her photos. We haven't even gotten the full gallery yet but based on the sneak peeks, I know that I'm going to cry!! Thank you, Morgan, for preserving countless memories through your beautiful photos.

You have acted as a photographer, a wedding planner, and a best friend during this process and we couldn't be happier with everything!

These photos are amazing. They left me beaming! Clicking through them made me feel like I was reliving the day. I wanted to let you know just how much your presence meant to me and Chris how much you made me feel like I was getting married. You experienced first hand just how complicated our wedding planning process was and while we always talked about getting married in Joshua Tree, this wedding wasn't exactly what I was planning. I went through periods in planning where I felt really down about everything. When the day finally arrived and you came to start documenting, I instantly felt bridal for the first time! You really made my day special. From the planning, the elopement kit, the endless email conversations to your reassurance about whose day it was during our pre-wedding call you made it perfect. You have acted as a photographer, a wedding planner, and a best friend during this process and we couldn't be happier with everything! We could not have done this without you and could never thank you enough for capturing our day so perfectly and giving us so many physical memories to keep forever.

From our initial conversation to planning she made it so effortless and helped guide us along the way.

100% recommend!!! Morgan was our elopement photographer and I couldn't be happier. I can't imagine anyone else but her being our photographer. She is not only an amazing photographer, but she is also the sweetest person and made the whole experience incredible. From our initial conversation to planning she made it so effortless and helped guide us along the way. She made sure that everything was planned out enough that we felt at ease that everything would go smoothly, and she also made sure to leave room for any surprises that come up on wedding days. On the day of she made everyone feel so comfortable that, to be honest, I kind of forgot she was taking photos at one point, it kind of felt like we were hanging out with a friend. She captured so many beautiful and REAL moments, I cried looking through our wedding pictures because it felt like we were re-living the day! If you want beautiful pictures that are genuine and capture the true essence of your day, Morgan is your girl!

“We couldn’t have been happier with Morgan.

We were looking for a photographer with a documentary/photojournalism style and were so happy with our photos. Prior to the wedding she was super responsive and provided great insight into the timeline. On the day of, Morgan was punctual, professional yet comforting and relaxed, and FUN! We love Morgan!!”

“Morgan is not only an incredibly talented & joyful photographer, but an incredible people-person.

Her photoshoot with me and my boyfriend was lighthearted & fun! He and I are not the biggest extroverts - and it was such a joy to discover stories & experiences that made all three of us laugh together! We loved exploring new sites in the city and getting to know each other throughout the morning - and the finished photos in her signature warm-tone & candid photography style turned out perfect in every way! I would absolutely recommend Morgan & Kept Record for any couple, engagement, and wedding photography needs you have in mind!

“I was blown away by Morgan, she is simply the best! “

From the beginning, she was warm and approachable and stood out compared to the other photographers I was talking to. You could just tell she deeply cared about the work she does and connecting with people. On the day of the shoot, my husband and I were beyond nervous but she took the time to talk to us before we started and got to know us. The shoot itself was amazing! It felt like we had a old friend joining us on our date night. She gave really clear direction that never made us feel like we were forcing anything, she just allowed us to be ourselves. And the end product is stunning. We can’t believe that we have such nice photos celebrating our love. I can’t recommend Morgan enough!!

“Morgan was AMAZING!!! She shot my wedding in Savannah, GA and made my day perfect!“

Within 48 hours she gave me the most stunning Sneak Peak photos. She was SO kind and inviting and made me and my husband so so comfortable after only meeting her in person that morning! My entire family told me over and over how sweet and thoughtful and attentive she was. I never saw her take a break in the 9 hours she was working, I don't know how she did it! She has the most amazing eye for color and love her doc style I don't know how she managed to capture every special moment throughout the day. If you're looking for an LA based photographer she's it. But even better she was more than happy to travel all the way to Savannah, GA for my wedding. I truly can't recommend her enough!
