Is COVID-19 affecting your wedding plans?
COVID-19 restrictions have many brides considering moving towards smaller, more intimate weddings and elopements. Some chose to forgo the large wedding entirely, some choose a small elopement and some have opted for a mixture. An elopement in the short term and the larger wedding they always dreamed of when things go back to normal. We can put together a custom package for every possibility. We have considerable experience as Austin elopement photographers and regularly photograph intimate weddings in the Texas Hill Country every year and can help you to have the wedding you dream of. Large, small or somewhere in between.
There are so many benefits to choosing an Austin small wedding, not just the more modest budget. Having a shorter guest list means you get to spend more time with your guests, and that’s an opportunity for us to capture your interactions beautifully. More intimate Hill Country weddings mean a chance to opt for more non-traditional details and events. How about a dress in a unique color? Perhaps have adorable beer burros to entertain your guests during cocktail hour? Or maybe forgo a traditional reception and include an inflatable obstacle course instead? Don’t miss out on a chance to put on your creative thinking caps and come up with fun ways to spend your wedding day with your closest family and friends. We’ll be there to help you remember it all with beautiful, candid photography.
Sometimes Your Backyard is the Perfect Place to Declare Your Love for Each Other.
Backyard Elopement and Micro Wedding Photographer
Mercedes and Jesse did an AMAZING job with our wedding photos! They worked hard to get all of the shots that were important to us throughout our wedding. We have beautiful photographs to document all of details and moments throughout our wedding that we would never want to forget. All of the photos we asked for are perfect, and the candid photos are even better. They gave us both artsy and meaningful photos, and we love them all. They are also very sweet, responsive, and knowledgeable! A delight to work with! 10/10 would recommend!

We are lifestyle photographers. Our style is candid, warm and romantic and done so with some direction and styling. As a result, our photographs are approachable, relaxed and timeless. Artistically we like warm shadows and clean, realistic skin tones. That said, we do occasionally stray into the dramatic. We love to play with smoke and old lenses for their unique qualities, and how can a good Golden Hour photo not be dramatic!

about US
Celebrating love and family
Mercedes and Jesse were wonderful to work with and I'm so glad we chose them for our wedding. They really took the time to get to know us and was so sweet and responsive during the process. I didn't know what to expect but I let them know what I was looking for and they delivered above and beyond. They are extremely talented and have an eye for light. I was absolutely blown away by the pictures and have received so many compliments from our family and friends. They took our engagements photos as well and made us feel so relaxed and comfortable throughout the shoot. You won't regret choosing Mercedes Morgan Photography for your big day, they are amazing!!
