About MorgsBehindTheCamera

MorgsBehindTheCamera

Some couples want a big wedding, I'm not the photographer for them. I'm Morgan, a Kansas City based wedding and elopement photographer specializing in intimate weddings, micro weddings, and elopements. My husband and I eloped in Santa Barbara, so I understand the appeal of keeping it small and making it yours. Camera shy, anxious, introverted, or just over the idea of a wedding that feels like a performance? You're in the right place. I know how to read a room, calm a couple down, and get out of the way so your day can actually unfold.

Planning an elopement or intimate wedding can feel like a lot, so I help with that too. We'll talk through what matters most to you, who you want there, and how to make it feel truly special. Most of what I do on your wedding day is invisible until you see your photos. I take a laid back approach on purpose. The less you're thinking about me, the more present you are. And when you're present and enjoying your day, you're already making art. I just capture it, on digital and 35mm film, so every moment has the depth it deserves.

    The BEST wedding photographer ever

    We hired MorgsBehindTheCamera for our intimate wedding in Kansas City and everything was perfect. It was just us, immediate family, and a few of our closest friends so we wanted something that felt personal and laidback. From our very first conversation, Morgan understood exactly what we were going for. She made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera, which I was honestly terrified about. By the end of the night it felt like we were just hanging out with a friend who happened to be taking pictures. The photos she delivered were romantic, emotional, and genuinely felt like us. If you're planning an intimate wedding, elopement, or small ceremony in the Kansas City area and want a photographer who actually listens then MorgsBehindTheCamera is exactly who you want. We're obsessed and would choose her again in a heartbeat!

    Made me not hate getting my picture taken

    Morgs and Sam were amazing. They had such great energy and felt like part of the family, making the photo process more fun than awkward. The quality of their work is top-notch and we're thrilled with how the photos turned out. We couldn't recommend MorgsBehindTheCamera more highly for any couple looking for wedding photographers who will make you feel comfortable in your own skin!

    Professional, Personable, and Truly Talented

    Working with MorgsBehindTheCamera was an absolute delight from start to finish. Morgs’ friendly and consistent communication made wedding planning so much easier. She went above and beyond to ensure our guests felt included and every moment was beautifully captured. Our photos have a nostalgic, vintage feel that perfectly reflects the day. Morgs was professional yet so personable, and we couldn’t be happier!

    I couldn’t have asked for anyone better to capture our family’s birthday celebration. Morgan and Sam were absolutely wonderful from start to finish. First, they made coordinating a breeze. Then, at the event, they did such an incredible job making our simple, everyday moments feel special. The photos captured our family exactly as it felt that day; natural, happy, together, and having fun. They made everyone feel comfortable, helped us when we didn’t know how to pose/found the best lighting and angles, and overall were so easy and enjoyable to work with. And they got the photos back to us so quickly! We are genuinely so grateful to have these memories captured, and we’ll treasure them for a long time. Morgan and Sam are not just talented, they are incredible humans who care deeply about capturing your special moments and I would recommend them to anyone! I’m already looking forward to hiring them for our next event.

    Katie, this made our day! Making everyone feel comfortable and relaxed so the real moments can shine through is exactly what we show up to do every time. We’re so glad your family has these memories captured! Can’t wait to work with you again!

    We had the absolute best experience with our photographer for our wedding on October 18, 2025, at Fence Stile Winery in Excelsior Springs, Missouri. From the moment we met her, she made us feel comfortable, confident, and completely at ease throughout the entire process. On our wedding day, she captured every moment beautifully. Looking through our gallery feels like reliving the day all over again—from the big emotional moments to the small details and candid memories we didn’t even realize were happening. She somehow managed to be everywhere at once and captured every smile, laugh, happy tear, and special interaction with our family and friends. Not only is she incredibly talented, but she is also professional, organized, and truly passionate about what she does. The photos exceeded every expectation we had, and we will treasure them for the rest of our lives. If you’re looking for a photographer who genuinely cares about her clients and has an amazing eye for capturing memories, we cannot recommend her enough. Thank you for preserving our wedding day so perfectly—we are forever grateful!

    Reading this made my whole week! Fence Stile Winery was such a gorgeous backdrop for your intimate wedding, and getting to catch all those laughs and happy tears felt like such a gift. My whole goal on a wedding day is to make couples forget the camera is even there, so hearing that you felt comfortable and confident tells me I did exactly what I set out to do. Thank you for trusting me with such an important day. Congratulations again!


You can expect around 50 per hour of photographing depending on your wedding package, number of guests, venue type, and other factors. Of course I don't limit the number of photos I share so you'll get all the goodies!
Of course! All digital images will be edited for consistency and style. Film photos may be slightly edited if necessary.
You’ll receive sneak peek within a week and then your full online will be published 4-6 weeks after your wedding. We will discuss exact timelines and they will be outlined in your contract.
I’ll always say the sooner, the better! For elopements and micro weddings, most clients book me one to three months in advance since these are usually planned a little quicker. For full wedding celebrations, my clients typically book 12 to 18 months ahead.
Yes! Some I offer a second photographer for expanded coverage, and for more intimate days I often shoot solo. We'll discuss the best fit for your day!
