virginia wedding & family photography
Hi! I’m Molly, a Virginia-based wedding and family photographer
For me, it’s really about you. Making you feel comfortable, helping you to have fun and genuinely enjoy your day! It’s about the joy, the mess, the laughter, the hugs and the tears that tell your honest story. One thing I’ve come to know with my whole heart is that it’s the seemingly small moments that make up our core memories. Someday, I don’t just want you to remember the way you looked, but the way you were loved.

A wedding, at its heart, is about your favorite people in the world, all in one room, cheering you on as you step into forever. It's more than a party and nice photos. It's your mom fixing your veil with trembling hands. Your best friend crying before you’ve even walked down the aisle. Your grandparents holding hands across the table like they’ve done for decades. It’s the kind of day that reminds you what really matters - love, connection, and the people who make your life so full of joy.
02. families & more
Family photos are like little time capsules of the life you’re building together. The way your baby fits perfectly in your arms right now. The missing teeth, the wild giggles, the way your husband looks at your kids like they hung the moon. These moments don’t wait, but they do matter. To me, family photos are about honoring the beautiful, ordinary magic of right now—because one day, these are the memories that will feel like home.

Here’s the thing - one day, these images are going to be someone’s old photos. At its heart, photography is about remembering the way we loved and were loved. These galleries tell someone’s real story—the quiet moments, the big, loud, laughter-filled ones, and everything in between on a single day of someone’s life. They’re filled with love, and the honest memories of the couples & families who entrusted me with documenting their life.

Love Notes from Clients
Molly captured our wedding exactly how we imagined it! We fell in love with her documentary style photography and warm/natural editing style. It was so great we had a chance to do an engagement shoot before the day and become familiar with each other. Molly instantly makes you feel comfortable, with her calm/laid back/fun personality. The photos she captures honestly reflect your own personality and authentic experience on your wedding day! We were so happy with how our photos turned out and highly recommend Molly!

If we could rate higher than 5 stars, we would! From the very first chat, we felt so comfortable, like we were talking to an old friend. She's so down-to-earth and truly gets what you envision for your special day.
Our wedding was all about keeping things lowkey and candid and Molly totally nailed it. She just knew how to blend in and capture the most genuine moments without us even noticing she was there. It was like she could read our minds!
The photos turned out amazing, capturing all the emotions, laughter, and little details that made our day so special. Every time we look at them, we’re transported back to those incredible moments.
Thank you, Molly, for everything! We had the absolute best time! If you’re looking for a photographer who is not only super talented but also an absolute joy to be around, Molly is your go-to!

My husband and I both felt unsure about being in front of the camera all day, but Molly made it fun and put us both at ease. Molly did our engagement photos and wedding day, and both times we just spent the day laughing with her. She is such a kind and authentic person, and very laid back. It is so easy to feel comfortable around her and feel like fast friends. Her talent speaks for itself and every single time we were stunned by the photos she sent us. We would recommend Molly to anyone and everyone, she exceeded all our expectations! Thank you so much Molly for capturing the most perfect pictures!
- Sarah & Andrew
Molly was so detailed and wanted to ensure she captured exactly what we wanted. On wedding day, she was everywhere she needed to be without anyone realizing - she blended in so well to capture all of the candid moments of the day, which are some of our favorite pictures in our gallery. 10/10 recommend Molly for your wedding photographer!

my philosophy
My work is not about following the latest trends or producing overly polished images. I won’t rush you through a checklist of poses or impose artificial moments. Our sessions are so much more than just “getting the shot” and delivering beautiful images. It’s about creating memories, telling stories and preserving life’s precious moments.
