Revealing the beauty in our everyday lives, allowing it to be felt years beyond a captured moment.
Our lives are filled with special moments, many of which are too small to be noticed or stick with us for long. I believe in capturing these memories, freezing them in time so that we can remember how incredible our lives truly are.
About Briana Morrison Photography
Briana
Owner & photographer
I find inspiration in the connections between people, the natural world that surrounds us, and artful objects - especially architecture, fashion, and well designed home goods. I feed my inner artist by immersing myself in craft, discovery, and piles and piles of books. When I'm not at work you'll most likely find me snuggling with my fur babies - Thistle, Ash, & Poppy.
Andrew
photographer
Andrew (my husband) is my greatest supporter and has been with me since the very beginning of my professional photography journey. His most absorbing interests include board games (and D&D), fantasy + sci-fi novels, and spending time with friends and family. He loves whisky, Scotland, and any good meal he doesn't have to think about.
Our Values
Slow-Living & Mindfulness
In creating a heightened sensitivity to life’s unnoticed moments, we capture beauty, affirm the present moment and witness the individual or relationships before us.
Honoring Mother Earth
With an appreciation for the resources we are given, we create lasting, quality heirlooms and aim for less waste in the ways we gather and dress.
Crafting Heirlooms
By documenting and beautifully displaying our photos we remember that our everyday lives hold beauty and joy. Our modern heirlooms are made to last for generations.
Capturing Moments with Artful Integrity
We are in love with the candid moment and honoring the story in front of us. Validating and celebrating you in an honest way which accepts your present state.
Intentional & Organized
We craft a refined process that is grounding, collaborative, and thorough so you can show up with a calm and present mindset.

There’s something special about seeing your love story preserved in a tangible, lasting way. This black-and-white film photograph, taken on my vintage Rolleiflex, was captured with intention—one slow, meditative frame at a time. The way the light sparkles through the trees, the quiet intimacy of the moment—it all feels timeless.
Photographs aren’t just memories; they’re heirlooms. They deserve to live beyond a screen, to be seen and felt every day. A framed print transforms your space, grounding it in love and meaning.
If you’ve been waiting to print your images, consider this your sign. Let’s create something beautiful for your home.
The world feels heavy right now. More than ever, we need healing, softness, and moments of peace. We need to hold close the small joys, celebrate the ones we love, and find solace in the beauty around us.
Lately, I’ve been grounding myself in the simple things—listening to birdsong in the morning, slowing down to be present with my fur babies (especially as we welcome a new puppy), and finding deeper meaning in my work. Because photography, at its heart, is about preserving love, stillness, and joyful abandon—even when the world makes it hard to feel those things.
Where are you finding peace these days? I’d love to hear. ❤️

Valentine’s Day is a beautiful reminder that love is everywhere—not just in the grand gestures, but in the quiet, everyday moments. The way your partner reaches for your hand. The laughter shared over morning coffee. The hugs that feel like home.
I feel so lucky to spend my days capturing love stories—on wedding days, in cozy homes, in golden fields, and in the little in-between moments that make life so special.
However you’re celebrating today—with a partner, with friends, or simply by loving yourself—I hope your heart feels full. 💛

Happy planning! 😌
Laura & Mark’s courthouse elopement was a day full of love and little moments of magic. They got ready in their home with their sweet elderly cat, Bam Bam (their lively Burmese mountain dog), and their adorable 8-month-old daughter. 🐾👶
Their vows were exchanged in the quiet hallway of the courthouse on the 15th floor, surrounded by city views and so much emotion. After a few portraits around town, they headed back home to get cozy and enjoy an intimate celebratory dinner together. 💕
Sometimes, the simplest days are the most meaningful. Here’s a peek at their beautiful beginning. 🌿

How have I not shared this magical elopement yet?!
Ella & Cole’s September elopement in Joshua Tree was one of the biggest highlights of the season. These two celebrated with their closest friends, exchanging vows in the heart of Joshua Tree National Park. 🌵✨
We started with getting-ready moments and details at their incredible Airbnb, then caravanned to the park for a ceremony surrounded by stunning desert landscapes—and some of the most epic portraits I’ve ever taken, in both color and black-and-white film. 🎞️
Huge thanks to my bestie, Amanda, for being there every step of the way—from capturing photos to picking cactus spines out of my legs and even running back to the Airbnb for a last-minute outfit change. 🥰
