& Alaska

based in Virginia

My work is fueled by a love for the real stuff; those blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moments that matter most. I’m inspired by your favorite romance movies, salt-soaked beach sunsets, belly laughs, and the kind of joy that lingers long after the moment passes.

I picked up my first film camera over 15 years ago and have spent the last decade as a full-time wedding and elopement photographer based in Virginia, capturing love stories across the East Coast and beyond.
 
From mountaintop ceremonies to barefoot beach vows and backyard celebrations, I’ve learned that the best photos happen when you feel fully seen and celebrated.

That’s why my approach blends guided direction with a documentary and photojournalistic style. Your images will feel like you: honest, effortless, and full of connection. I create a calm and relaxed space that lets you be yourselves while I document the emotion and magic unfolding naturally around you.

Whether you're planning a big wedding, an adventure elopement, or an intimate couples session, I’m here for it. If you're drawn to candid wedding photography, love to laugh, and want photos that feel like real memories, I’m your girl.

Fun Facts about morgan

At Untamed Hearts, we believe wedding photos should feel like a deep breath: alive, unfiltered, and unapologetically real. Not only pretty pictures for a frame, but a record of how it felt to be there.

We're not just here to check boxes. We're here to witness. To look for the wild laughter, the stillness before the vows, the tears that sneak in when no one’s watching. We want you to remember not just what your day looked like but what it felt like.

You won’t find stiff poses or cookie-cutter photos here.

"I dream of a love that even time will lie down and be still for"

This is a collaboration, not a performance.

From the moment we meet, we'll be your sounding board, your calm in the chaos, and your quiet observer when the magic unfolds. Yes, we'll help guide you when you need it but mostly, we're here to hold space for what’s actually happening: the connection, the messiness, the meaning. That 30 years from now, someone holds one of your wedding photos in their hands and feels something.

So let’s make something that lasts:

A love letter in images. An honest reflection. A story that’s fully yours.

All you need to do is show up. Fully in love, fully present, and fully you.

Favorite Rom Coms:

Meet Kelsey!

Kelsey is deeply inspired by connection: between people, places, and the fleeting moments that tell a bigger story. With a calm and caring presence, she approaches each wedding day with intention, always aiming to create space where her clients feel seen, at ease, and truly themselves. What lights her up most behind the camera are the in-between moments: a soft glance, laughter spilling out, the quiet magic that can’t be posed.

"WE ABSOLUTELY LOVE AND ADORE MORGAN!!"

Morgan is so fun and makes you feel so comfortable in front of the camera! She will be your hype woman, encourager and even work hard to get grass stains off your wedding dress minutes before walking down the aisle! ;) She goes above and beyond!! Her pictures are timeless and stunning and something we will cherish forever! I would recommend Morgan to everyone if I could!!

"Morgan caught all of the most perfect moments!"

She went above the normal call to action and over delivered. She was patient, kind, personable and made sure we were comfortable every step of the way. We are so thankful we chose Morgan and her team to capture our special day. We are forever grateful!
