Morgan O'Neil

Baltimore Wedding & Engagement Photographer

MD WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER CAPTURES NATURAL MOMENTS

I am a Baltimore-based wedding and engagement photographer servicing Maryland, Virginia, and DC. I work with couples who are laid back like me, and whose idea of a perfect wedding day is enjoying time with family and friends, not spending half the day posing for stiff, awkward photos. Maybe you don’t even really like taking photos at all. Or you think you look awkward in photos? I feel you! Here’s where I come in - as a calm, cool, and collected presence on your day, I blend into the background, seamlessly capturing the raw emotion and un-posed events of the day. Sound good to you? Reach out and let's chat! I can't wait to hear more about what you envision for your day and how I can help make it happen.

I am from New England and got my start there as a wedding photographer. After working there for many years I moved to South Florida, and then eventually to Baltimore where I now reside. I've photographed hundreds of weddings up and down the East Coast over 9 years. When I am not shooting weddings I love to travel and take personal photos with my film camera!

Morgan O'Neil, a talented wedding photographer, masterfully captured the outdoor wedding of Megan and Brian at Granite Links in Quincy, Massachusetts. Perched atop a hill with sweeping views of the Boston skyline, this venue provided an idyllic setting for a memorable celebration.

The day began in the bridal suite, where Morgan documented the bride's preparations with detail.

Morgan's gallery opens with a captivating image of the couple holding hands at the altar, with the officiant reading and the bride's veil gently swaying in the breeze. The golden sunlight casts a warm glow over the scene, setting the tone for a day filled with love and connection.

From there, Morgan included detail shots from the getting-ready process, highlighting the bride’s elegance and the groom's boutonniere being pinned. A sunlit toast with the groomsmen under the trees exemplifies the camaraderie and joy of the day.

The ceremony's panoramic views were expertly captured with wide shots that convey the openness and natural beauty surrounding the couple. During the cocktail hour, She documented the guests mingling in the warm, low sunlight, encapsulating the festive atmosphere.

Morgan then took the couple on a walk for portraits, where the sunlight beautifully complemented the backdrop. Transitioning to the tented pavilion for the reception, she captured the first dance under string lights, in an intimate and romantic scene.

The head table, positioned outside with the city skyline in view, added a sophisticated touch to the evening. Morgan captured the cake cutting detaiils and vibrant live band, immersing viewers in the excitement and energy of the celebration.

Her strategic positioning and innovative framing resulted in a narrative that’s both artistically composed and emotionally engaging. The gallery of images from this Granite Links wedding showcases Morgan O'Neil's talent in highlighting the love and connection of the day through meaningful and beautifully crafted images.
