About this vendor
Hi Friends!
I'm Morgan Elise!
I feel like many people get anxious when they hear "documentary photographer." This image of me yeeting you in front of the camera with no direction, and shouting "DO STUFF!".
No. I use my time on our initial call to gather as much information as possible about you, your love story, and your vision.
I then curate my work to reflect an accurate representation of YOU.
I will be guiding and directing you every step of the way. You will never have to worry about posing yourself with me.
I am a firm believer in "less is more."
I am not interested in stiff posing, excessive props, or forced smiles.
The last thing I want is for you to look back on your photos and think: "Why do I look so uncomfortable?"
I want you to be in an environment that brings out your authentic self.
After almost 15 years of practice, educational courses, and pushing myself to learn and grow, I can confidently say you will be pleased with your photos.
I'm a Leo and an empath. I pride myself in my ability to SEE you and give you an experience that will have you feeling and accepting your highest self. Photography has always been about more than just money for me. This is my passion, heart, soul, and platform to help others grow in their confidence.
I want you to leave our session accepting and claiming YOUR power.
In another life, I am convinced I was a comedian. I have found a way to balance professionalism and pure feralness. I have failed at my job if I can't keep you laughing and having fun throughout your session. I am not your girl if you're not a fan of being hyped up for hours on end.
I promise there will be no silence- I'm a full-time talker.
In short, I love what I do, and I want to tell your story authentically.

We hired Morgan Elise Photography LLC and couldn't have been happier with our choice. From our first conversation, Morgan was responsive and genuinely interested in what we wanted ...
for our wedding day. On the day itself, her calm presence made us feel at ease, and she was incredibly supportive of us as a couple while being kind to every single guest she encountered. The final images she delivered are stunning and perfectly capture the vibe and energy of our celebration. What really stood out was how much our family members loved working with her—they all went out of their way to tell us how amazing Morgan was. We'd recommend her in a heartbeat to any couple looking for a photographer who truly cares about their clients.
I have worked with other photographers, but Morgan blew them all out of the water. From the first conversation where Morgan asked us about our interests, preferences, and goals for...
the day, I knew we could trust her with capturing our love. She made it a point to get to know us, and it is reflected in our photos - she does not take generic photos with the same poses for everyone, but instead captures their unique personality and relationship. Not only does she do this in her art, but working with her is similarly personalized. When we said we were camera shy, she helped give clear direction for posing. When we expressed wanting specific locations or poses, she remembered and honored it. Maybe most importantly, we have FUN with her. She makes the process feel easy and exciting, and at the end of having a great time, you have meaningful, beautiful photographs. Morgan’s second shooter, Delmy, was also so sweet, fun, & talented.
Our photos were outstanding - they are nothing short of art. Fun, artsy, candid (yet she helped us pose naturally enough that we look great) - everything you could want. Adding her film package was one of our favorite decisions of the whole wedding - we cannot stop gushing over the vintage, personal feel our film photos have.
Could not recommend Morgan and her team more highly.

ssional and light-hearted, creating a relaxed atmosphere that truly brings out the best moments. She’s incredibly communicative and thoughtful throughout the entire process. The final photos? Absolutely stunning—captured with authenticity, heart, and an artistic eye. I can’t recommend Morgan enough!

and easy to work with and really made us feel at ease during our photo sessions by hyping us up. She also got us our photos quickly and the results are so stunning and high-quality! Highly, highly recommend working with Morgan!
Morgan is everything you are looking for and more. I saw her work online, and I loved it, but she was in Austin, and I'm in Seattle. Luckily, she is an amazing travel photographe...
r, and even brought some accessories to add some extra elegance to our wedding shoot, making our rings, shoes, dress, and suit look even more beautiful in her photos.
She instantly makes you feel at ease--we are not photo people, and she helped us be ourselves and get the best possible shots.
Her editing adds even more, and I love her eye for color. We received our sneak peak right away, and the rest of our gallery in less than a week. I have to reiterate, I don't like getting my photo taken, but I am so so so happy with our photos, and she is one of the best choices we made on our day. <3
We hired Morgan Elise as our wedding photographer by looking through a few sites. After interviewing a couple different professionals, my gut told me that Morgan was the right choi...
ce - and when you know, you know. From the very first phone call, she made us both feel at ease - she listened to our ideas, didn't judge us for not having every detail planned, and was so genuinely excited. On the day of, Morgan and her team came in and fit in perfectly with our group. She was respectful, had the best energy, and made everyone feel so great while she took amazing photos. During the craziness of the day, I felt truly comforted when I would turn and see Morgan in the corner. I knew she was standing in OUR corner, and supported us in whatever we needed. The result of her photography of the day is incredible - the first time I looked through the images, some of them actually moved me to tears. She has an incredible vision, and the photos she captured were perfect. I can't wait to share these photos with my family and friends for years to come. I highly recommend hiring Morgan Elise for your wedding - not only will you have beautiful photos to remember your day forever, but you will also work with one of the most kind, professional, and talented photographers in the biz.
I am absolutely in awe of the photos Morgan took of my wedding and so far I’ve only seen a sneak peek album! The engagement photos Morgan took were incredible and I was excited to ...
see what she would do at the wedding. The photos are beyond stunning.
Morgan is exceptional at what she does. She is very kind and helpful and she made everyone feel super comfortable. Morgan is a great communicator and is quick on photo turnaround. I cannot recommend her enough!! I’m so glad I trusted her to capture my wedding!!
I had the absolute pleasure of working with Morgan for both our engagement and wedding photos. Out of all of our vendors (around 15 in total!), Morgan was hands down my favorite of...
all vendors to work with and the BEST decision we made throughout our wedding planning process.
I honestly don’t have enough good things to say about Morgan, but the first that come to mind would be her energy, sense of humor, flexibility, prompt and professional communication, and sheer TALENT for capturing the most perfect moments we could only dream of. My (now) husband and I are so uncomfortable being photographed, but Morgan was able to help us loosen up and laugh along with us every step of the way.
She’s so beyond patient and capable of wrangling a big crazy wedding party like ours, and we’re incredibly grateful for her attention to detail and willingness to experiment with the photography style preferences we envisioned for our big day.
We absolutely adore you, Morgan, and you’ll be the first we recommend to family and friends…and DEFINITELY the first person we call for our future baby photos! WE LOVE YOU! Thank you for being you! <3
Choosing Morgan as our photographer was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding.
Our wedding pictures are beyond anything we could have imagined. Morgan's talent goes far...
beyond just capturing images; she managed to encapsulate the emotions, energy, and love of our special day. The results are a true testament to her dedication and passion for her craft.
If you are searching for a photographer who not only takes stunning pictures but also brings out the best in you, look no further than Morgan. Thank you, Morgan, for capturing our love so beautifully!

t fit for you but also that you are the best fit for her. She knows her worth and values finding the best fit for everyone. During the wedding, she made me feel so confident and comfortable and truly went for the authentic, natural flowing shots that honestly I think we all want. She further made sure that I got all the shots I wanted no matter what. I will definitely be booking with this artist (yes she is an artist to me) and now friend 😊again!!!

t location before. We spoke on the phone and she immediately made us feel comfortable. We booked an engagement photo session with her and were absolutely floored with the images she captured. They were such a true reflection of our personalities. We are so awkward in front of the camera, but you'd never know it looking at our photos. She helped us stay in the moment and focus only on each other. We got our photos back at lightning speed and our friends were obsessed with them. Because of how professional and kind she was at our engagement shoot, I had no doubt she'd do a great job for our wedding. Great turned out to be an understatement. She is PHENOMENAL! She was punctual, detailed, and helped us stay on our timeline to make sure we had the best natural lighting (we had a sunset wedding so time was crucial). Our friends have been gushing about our photos - they turned out better than I could've hoped for! We had a small wedding of 35, and the photos she took make it look like it was a big glamourous occasion! She took so many wonderful candids, I feel like she truly captured all of the emotions and happiness we experienced that day. If I ever need a photographer in the future, I'm absolutely reaching out to Morgan (if she has availability, I have a feeling she's going to be booking up quick!). She's also a wonderful person and so kind hearted - book her if you can!!
