serving couples coast to coast
Virginia based wedding photographer
Hey, I'm Molly!
My nana has one of those beautiful, detailed, perfect, silly, sit around the fireplace for hours kind of love stories; that every now and then, over a holiday, someone will ask her to tell again. Out come the photo albums, and even though everyone in my family has heard this story and seen these photos so many times, we are captivated. What a gift it is to be able to feel the love from a time I wasn't around for. Photos remind us of what is really important in a time when it is SO easy to take the best things in life for granted.
I believe with my whole heart that your love & your relationships are a work of art, and I truly want you to see your story as beautiful & unique as I see it. My photography is honest, nostalgic, joyful & warm. Nothing fills my soul with sunshine like being around people, and discovering what makes each person and each story unique and so worth remembering.

that's my why.
My feelings about photos
Here's the thing - someday these images are going to be someone's old photos.
Think about those old albums your parents or grandparents have. Those photos are timeless, they feel like a warm hug from another time, they put a smile on your face... Why? Because they aren't trying too hard to be perfect, and they show your loved ones as they are in the little moments that tell a story.
That's what I'm after - not the latest trends.
To get that good stuff, I really want to get to know you first! I want to know what the love between you feels like. Is it giggly, sweet and full of sunshine, or is it wild and passionate? How do you two fit together when you're relaxing on the couch watching Netflix?
No stiff, cookie cutter posing here. The photos I promise to give you will be real & timeless.

Molly was the best decision we could have ever made in hiring a photographer. She was so professional, fun and definitely made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. From our engagement photos down to our wedding day we couldn’t have asked for a better photographer. She got all the photos my wife wanted & made her “photo dreams” come to life.
We cannot recommend hiring Molly more. She’s fantastic and you definitely will be extremely happy with the photos you receive.

We found Molly through a friend’s recommendation to shoot our daughter’s newborn photos. She had me fill out a questionnaire prior to the shoot to give her an idea of our vibes and style of photos we wanted. Molly gave us EXACTLY what we were looking for- a casual, mostly candid depiction of our life in our home with our new baby. She was so kind and patient with us, as we needed to stop multiple times to breastfeed. Her close-ups of our baby are so precious. We will cherish these photos forever. Thank you, Molly!

We had an amazing experience working with Molly! We were drawn to Molly's photography style as soon as we found her instagram page and trusted she would be able capture what we were looking for (spoiler alert: she exceeded our expectations!!). We appreciated the amount of time she took prior to the wedding getting to know us as a couple and familiarizing herself with our venue at a site visit before the big day. She was personable, responsive, and professional throughout the entire experience and a joy for our other vendors to work with. We highly recommend choosing Molly if you're looking for a photographer that can capture warm and candid moments for you.

We had a wonderful experience working with Molly on my maternity photo shoot! She's super good with natural lighting. The pictures came out gorgeous and were exactly what I was going for. Molly is easy to communicate with and helped my camera-shy husband feel at ease during the process. We would definitely work with her again and will be recommending her to friends.
