LanierStar Photography Blog | Amelia Island, Jacksonville, St. Augustine, FL wedding & portrait photographers bio picture

Love. Laughs. Photographs.

Hello! My name is Kristen Morgan- a girl in her 30's (I swear I don't know when that happened!) and a laugh enthusiast (see exhibit A to your left), who's world revolves around my "sonshine", Jett (owner of the cute smile in exhibit A). I love anything made of paper, 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 NE 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.

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. I'd also love to connect with you on Facebook and Twitter, so feel free to click those gray tabs in the upper left! 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.

Talk soon!

Walker’s Landing at Amelia Island Plantation | North East Florida wedding photographer

head shot portrait of bride and groom, wedding day

Ed and Nicole

The Wedding and Reception of Ed and Nicole were held at Walker’s Landing in Amelia Island Plantation, FL. We set up a “First Look” for them on a wood bridge in the Plantation. This way the two of them had a private moment to view each other in all of their wedding day splendor. Once that was over we then took all of the formal photographs. This way all of the “boring” photos (how most of my clients refer to the family portraits- haha) were out of the way early in the day when everyone has just finished their hair and makeup and look their best. After the ceremony we did a quick sunset session of the newlyweds on the marshes of the Intracoastal Waterway- beautiful! From then on out everyone was able to relax and enjoy the party! These guys had a great DJ and they partied “ALL NIGHT LONG”! (Insert AC/DC song here.)
