LAKE CHARLES PHOTOGRAPHER

Hey, I’m Morgan and I’m a wedding and elopement photographer based in Lake Charles, Louisiana. I’m a fierce wanderluster and travel lover that also has a weakness for snuggling up on the couch for a Netflix marathon with a bag of Sour Patch Kids. I like to call myself an adventurous couch potato.

ALL OF THE REAL

One of the most pivotal moments in my photography journey was when I was simply attending a wedding. I was watching the bride and groom dance to the last song of the night. They were beginning to cry together and I was tearing up just watching… until the photographer tapped on their shoulders, made them pose and smile for a shot, and moved on.

I’m passionate about photographing your real moments, not just the posed ones. Your story is unlike any other. Because of that, it’s my mission to capture it in a authentic, real, beautiful way that will be retold for generations. If that’s important to you, then we’ll get along just fine.

MOMENTS OVER MOUNTAINS

Sometimes we get so caught up in the guest lists, the centerpieces, the location, the cake flavors, whatever, and lose sight of the most important part of your wedding day…

Your love story. Your moments.

My photography approach is this: to capture your wedding or elopement in an authentic and documentary way that truly reflects your emotion and personality. Whether it’s happening in Lake Charles, Louisiana or halfway across the globe, I’m all for it.
