About

Morgan Elise is a talented photographer based in Austin, Texas, with over a decade of experience. She is passionate about her craft and aims to help her clients be comfortable in front of the camera so she can capture their authentic selves.

-MY APPROACH-

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.

Amazing photos!

Morgan is the absolute best! We worked with her for our engagement photos and wedding day and it was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! She is so sweet, responsive 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!

Best decision ever!

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!

You need Morgan!!

Morgan is simply amazing! Not just from her quality of shots but her passion for what she loves doing. She values talking to you before actually booking to make sure she is the best 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!!!

Our engagement session with Morgan was an absolute dream! She brought such an amazing energy to the shoot and made us feel so comfortable behind the camera.

The photos she captured truly tell the story of our love, and we cannot wait to work with her on our wedding day. Morgan has been so communicative throughout the process, on time, and lovely to work with! Book her now!!

Morgan is amazing!!

My experience with Morgan was honestly better than I could've hoped. She was friendly, professional, encouraging, and helped me feel very comfortable with the experience because I'm naturally an anxious person. She even asked if we had any suggestions or certain shots we wanted and went ahead with any we gave. She communicated well with our families and guests too for group shots. I would most definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer who can make them feel at ease and comfortable while also providing the best work.

Hire Morgan for Your Unique Engagement Shoot!

Morgan shot our engagement photos in October 2022 around the South Congress area and on the roof of a parking garage in downtown Austin. We had such a good time and the poses she put us in look very natural. She took some really artistic and unique photos and we were absolutely thrilled with them. We can't wait to work with Morgan again for our reception this coming October. I wish we had her at our out-of-state elopement because I much preferred her style to that of the photographer we hired in Arizona.

Dream photographer!

We had a low key wedding with a bunch of ragtag hooligans, and Morgan was an absolute dream! She was patient, made us feel comfortable, took our special shot requests, and didn't miss a beat. She delivered all of the images with lightning speed and we will treasure them all for the rest of our lives. I highly, highly recommend.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
