About
“Morgan is the most personable, professional, natural, easy-going and gentle soul that you want in a photographer on your wedding day.” ~ Esther Sprague
I’m so glad you’re here.
Hi, I’m Morgan, the photographer behind Free The Bird.
I live with my partner Lydia and our Australian Shepherd, Junip, who keeps us on our toes and makes sure life never feels too serious. When I’m not photographing weddings, you’ll find me outside somewhere, hiking, golfing, planning our next trip, or curled up watching a good film. The way I live shapes the way I shoot: I’m drawn to real moments, quiet gestures, and the big belly laughs that catch you off guard.
Photography, for me, isn’t just about beautiful pictures, it’s about paying attention. It’s noticing the way light falls through a window, a breeze catches a dress, a hand reaches for another. The blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moments that mean everything later.
My style is journalistic and relaxed. I won’t pose you within an inch of your life or stage moments that don’t feel true. I’ll be there to tell the real story. The excitement, the nerves, the loud dance floor, the quiet tears, the way your people love on you.
When you look back at your photos years from now, I don’t want you to just see how it looked, I want you to feel how it was. A collection of images that feel timeless and honest.
Take your time exploring my work. If it resonates, I’d love to hear from you!
