Hey y’all! I’m Morgan, the hands + the heart behind kept record.

I’m a wedding photographer, a desert elopement bride, a coffee addict through and through, and a dog mama to two sweet husky rescues named Lucy and Pepper. I mainly photograph weddings in Southern California, but my bags are always packed + I’ve always got a full tank of gas in my Jeep! In January 2018, my husband Krisztian and I eloped in Joshua Tree National Park (see above). It was an absolutely incredible experience, and one I love sharing with many of the couples who book me for their Joshua Tree weddings and elopements. The landscape of this desert is breathtaking and it never fails to totally blow me away (it even SNOWED the day after we exchanged vows). You can read more about it here!


I describe my style as wedding photojournalism with soul. The balance I’m aiming for in every wedding is a documentary-driven approach with a few moments throughout the day of styled creative wedding portraits. This means that not only do you LOOK GOOD when you’re reminiscing through your photo album years later, but you actually FEEL GOOD about them too. I want you to remember exactly how you felt that day - surrounded by and filled to the brim with love. My style is inspired by my great-grandparent’s wedding albums, which I describe as warm, emotional, nostalgic, and documentary-driven. My approach on a wedding day is to let it unfold as naturally as possible before me; I try to be as unobtrusive as possible, while still making sure to get all the good angles as I go!

IF YOU’RE GETTING MARRIED IN los angeles, I’D LOVE TO BE YOUR WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER!
