              I’m Molly, an East Coast & Virginia Wedding Photographer

Start here with me. My Nana has one of those beautiful, detailed, can’t-make-this-up 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 we have all heard the story a million times, we are captivated. What a gift it is to be able to feel a love that I wasn’t even around for. What a gift it is to hold those photos. That is what this is all about. That is my why.

What I want to give you is this—a photography experience that doesn’t force you to perform or be something you’re not. You want to look beautiful, but also look natural & like yourself. Your photos will feel effortless, real, packed with joy & uniquely yours.

In 30 years, I don’t just want you to remember the way you looked, but the way you were loved.

          If you’re dreaming of wedding photos that are thoughtful, unique and full of joy—photos that truly capture the spirit and feeling of your day, this is what I do best! I believe weddings are not about parading you around for photos. Your day is about you two, celebrating with your favorite people and soaking in every moment of it. I want you to remember what that felt like, and how much fun everyone had. My promise to you is that when you open your final gallery, you’ll see images that genuinely feel like you. Nothing overdone, contrived or stiff here.

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.

my philosophy

             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. I’d be so honored to document yours.
