  • Love. Laughs. Photographs.

    Hello! I am Kristen Morgan- a girl in her 30's (when did that happen?!?) and a laugh enthusiast who's world revolves around my "sonshine". I love things made from paper, the water, Mexican food with margaritas, flip-flop weather and iPhone-tography. I also love "real" cameras, which is where this website comes in to play. I'm the owner of LanierStar Photography and a full-time photographer based in the St. Augustine / Jacksonville, FL area.

    LanierStar photographs Weddings and Portraits throughout North and Central Florida, and SE Georgia. I'm also available for travel. My personality is fun and laid back, which helps people feel comfortable around me. At the same time my years spent managing businesses ensures that your experience will be positive and professional. My photography style is candid, using photojournalism to capture you in real life. Then I combine that with artistic portraiture and an attention to details to fully capture your day.

    Please scroll down to read the blog, which is updated much more frequently than the websites! Primarily I use it to showcase the latest sessions, but hopefully you can get a feel for who I am, too. Feel free to click those colorful tabs in the upper left to connect with me on Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram or Twitter! I'd love to start planning your portrait session or hear about your wedding, so use the Contact tab up top, call 904.639.5960, or email me at info@lanierstar.com.

The White Room : The Loft & Rooftop Wedding Photography | St. Augustine, FL Photographer

The first time I met Angela I know I was going to love their wedding.  She and I were able to solve most of the world’s problems sitting at Starbucks.  She has a great sense of style, fab hair and was gorgeous to boot!  I knew we’d get some great portraits.  This couple did not disappoint!   The wedding was amazing and they included a lot of personal touches to make it their own.

The ceremony and reception took place at The Loft in St. Augustine, FL (part of The White Room).  I love this space!  A very cool venue filled with light, exposed brick, beautiful decor and greenery, a rooftop lounge space and a super helpful staff.

At each wedding I photograph a lot of the details, but at this wedding I also found myself photographing really cool tattoos!  There was a lot of fabulous ink showing.

Angela walked down the aisle to The Beatles played by The Jax String Quartet.  (They also entertained the guests as they waited for the ceremony to begin.)  The music at the reception was a cool  mix of oldies from the 40′s to the 80′s.  The color of the day was green and daisies were on display.  Angela and Christian seemed to be able to spend time with all of their friends and family, and truly enjoy the party that they had planned.  Here are the rest of their photos~

The gorgeous bride:

The groom, Christian.  As you can see he is very serious and it was tough to get him to loosen up.  ;)  He reminded me so much of Joaquin Phoenix!

And then we went off to do their newlywed portraits!  I love it when we can schedule it like this and not be rushed.

I just want to share some of the comments this couple has left for me on the LanierStar facebook page-

an hour after we finished the wedding:

BEST PHOTOGRAPHER EVER! Christian commented on your laugh when we were driving home. hahaha he loves it!

and after I posted a sneak peek of their photos:

AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING job on the pictures!!!! Everyone that sees them loves them! You have a great style that sets you apart from the other photographers. Thanks for freezing these moments in time so perfectly for us. No lame poses! : O )) and… satisfied is an understatement! I can’t wait to see the rest!

Well, when I have subjects like Christian and Angela it makes my job easy.  :)  xoxo to you guys!

All You Need Is Love!
