Capturing your wedding day with a journalistic flare that you’d imagine in National Geographic. Your wedding day guided by an expert traveler and your new best confidante.

I’ve combined my love of people, cultures, and weddings into creating work that excites me.

Welcome to my world of adventure, where I capture the love stories of couples from around the world as a travel and destination wedding photographer. I am drawn to a couple’s story- who they are and the love they share with each other. I am an intense listener and always ready to meet someone new. I love experiencing different cultures, stumbling through a conversation with a non-English speaker, and stepping into the backroads of a foreign town.

I graduated from the University of Montana with a degree in Photojournalism. My professors instilled in me the importance of capturing candid moments and telling stories through photographs. These lessons have stuck with me throughout my career, and my images reflect the genuine, personal, and natural moments that define each couple’s unique love story.

After years of miscellaneous jobs my husband and I quit work, put everything in a storage unit and took a year-long honeymoon around the world. This was a turning point for us and we both returned to the States with a completely different outlook on our life and the world. We wanted to live more simply, have less material things, and focus on the life moments that truly are the joie de vivre.

Since returning home in 2014, I have been capturing love stories with my camera and have had the pleasure of meeting some of the most interesting and amazing people along the way. Whether it's hiking to the top of a mountain to capture a proposal or chasing a couple through the streets of Paris, I'm always up for an adventure.

I currently live near Memphis, TN with my husband David and twin boys, Cooper & Sawyer. On any given day at home you’ll find me outside chasing my little ones, keeping the chickens out of the garden, and having a “sun-downer” cocktail on the back porch after the boys have been tucked in for the night.

If you're looking for a travel photographer or destination wedding photographer who will capture the essence of your love story, let's connect. I can't wait to hear your story and create beautiful art that will be cherished for generations to come.

Morgan is the perfect combination of professionalism and talent. She immediately put us at ease with her organization and expertise. She captured traditional and candid moments that helped preserve our beautiful wedding day! I can't recommend Morgan Newsom Photography enough!

After postponing our original wedding plan due to COVID-19 and the stress that followed along with that, my fiancé and I just wanted to be married. We decided to have a small, intimate ceremony on a random Wednesday in April. Morgan was recommended by my wedding planner and she responded quickly and joyfully. She was so flexible, affordable, and happy to work with us. It was such a pleasant change of circumstances.

Morgan helped us with ideas of where to have our little ceremony and what time the lighting would be most beautiful. She was professional during the ceremony and captured such special moments for my family and me. She is so pleasant, I would choose her again and again! She had the photos ready for us so quickly and easily. My family that was not able to make it to the ceremony ordered prints from her and were very pleased as well! The photos are beautiful and such a treasure.

Maggie & Chris

Morgan was such a great wedding photographer! She was very organized, responsive and helpful. I did not have a day of coordinator so she really stepped up. She also helped me stay calm and make sure all of the photos were taken in an efficient and organized manner. I cannot recommend her enough!

Elizabeth & Dallas

Morgan is so wonderful to work with. We had so much fun. She was so patient and kind. Her work is beautiful and she really knows how to capture the moment.

Julianne & Will

Morgan was amazing!! I could not have asked for a better experience and our pictures turned out beautifully! She helped not only with pictures, but also with little details, such as making sure everything looked picture perfect. She was very “go with the flow” yet kept our day structured. She was very non obtrusive, yet managed to capture every special detail. I would love to work with her again!
