ON DIGITAL AND 35MM FILM
wedding photography that feels like home
natural, honest photography centered around joy & and the moments that make us feel alive
Hi, I’m Molly - I’m a Navy spouse, owner of two very crazy dogs, lover of old film photos and Trader Joes seasonal drops, and I genuinely love the experience of a wedding day. They never get old. Most of all, I’m obsessed with holding onto those fleeting moments that make us feel alive, and protecting the joy in our everyday lives. What is life even about otherwise :)
I best serve couples who want to not only feel beautiful in front of the camera, but to truly feel seen and cared for on their wedding day! When you look back at your wedding photos, I want you to be transported back to just how the day felt, the way you smiled…like really smiled with your whole face, and not just for the camera.
One day, when you, your children or your great-great-grandchildren open a photo album, I want you to not just remember the way you looked, but the way you were so loved.
“She’s not just a phenomenal photographer—she’s the kind of person you want to have around on one of the most important days of your life.”
Diana & Jason Benedict, 2025 Couple
So, you’re planning a day that feels like you… filled with meaning, full of love, and surrounded by your favorite people.
You want to soak it in.
To remember how it sounded, how it felt, how everyone smiled at you like they knew this love would last.
I know what it’s like to want to bottle it all up
The way your partner looks at you when no one else is around
How young, hot & into each other you were!
The sound of your grandma laughing at your reception
The warmth of having all your people in one place, for one perfect night you never want to end
And I know how it feels to worry that photos won’t do it justice.
That you’ll look stiff. That it’ll feel awkward. That the magic won’t come through. My promise to you is that you don’t have to perform for the camera to get photos you love.
You just need someone who listens to you, helps you to be present, watches for the moments you’ll miss, and documents your day with you in mind.
We might be a perfect fit if…
You want wedding photos where you look beautiful (of course!), but you truly feel the most beautiful when you’re laughing with the love of your life, spending time with your best friends, or maybe just when you get to be yourself.
You believe the emotions, mess, chaos, tears, laughter, peace, joy, bittersweet, love & everything in between is what makes weddings beautiful, even more than the flowers or the details.
You want a wedding photographer who takes time to understand your vision for your photos, who makes sure you get a gallery of images you love, but isn’t going to overstep or pull you away from your loved ones constantly on your wedding day.
You believe your photos should be about your wedding day, your wedding day should not be about photos.
You’re looking for those effortless, unapologetically happy, running barefoot, not a care in the world kind of photos that you’ll look back on someday and go, look how freaking happy we were (and still are!)
“From the very first meeting, it was clear how deeply she cares about her couples. Molly took the time to really get to know us, our story, and what mattered most to us.”

01. what To expect
Intentional support from day one - from vendor recommendations, to timeline guidance, to my 30+ page wedding guide. Over the years, I’ve truly seen it all and I’m here for you however you need me to be.
Zero awkward posing - I’ll guide you into looking your best, with an approach that is movement and connection-based and won’t make you feel weird.
Photos that feel like memories - genuine heirlooms that won’t look cheesy or too trendy decades from now. Your photos will look like yours, not someone else’s.
A calm, joyful presence at your wedding, who blends in seamlessly - Photographing a wedding is so much about being able to read a room! You’ll want a calming presence by your side, someone who can take charge during family photos but blend in quietly when a moment feels softer. I promise not only beautiful photographs, but an experience that feels fun & grounding for you and your loved ones.
“Our family and friends thought she was just one of our friends who HAPPENED to be a photographer, which truly speaks volumes to who Molly is as a person. She did such a wonderful job of capturing who we are, and the joy we feel each day.”

02. The details
Over the years, I have found that I can most completely document your day and give you my best work by not limiting you to an 8 hour package. For this reason, full day wedding coverage begins 1-2 hours before you plan to get dressed, and ends when your guests send you off at the end of an amazing night. This allows you two a relaxed and natural photo experience on your wedding day.
Full day wedding collections include (at a minimum)
All-inclusive wedding day coverage (averages 9-11 hours)
engagement photos
sneak peeks within 5 days
Your full wedding gallery within 6 weeks
Timeline ASSISTANCE and vendor recommendations
My 30+ page wedding guide
Access to a top quality print shop and album design suite
All my love, and unlimited planning meetings or assistance as needed, I give my couples my 110%
OPTIONAL ADD-ONS: 35MM FILM, SECOND PHOTOGRAPHER, REHEARSAL DINNER PHOTOGRAPHY, BOUDOIR & BRIDAL SESSIONS
These photos are about so much more than just the next day Instagram post.
These are your first family heirlooms as a married couple, the one thing you’ll take with you from your wedding day to remember how young & in love you were.
I believe your wedding photos should still feel timeless 50 years from now. You deserve an experience crafted with intention, care, and heart.
You’re not just booking someone to show up with a camera and run through a list. You’re trusting someone to document your memories for you, and to treat your day and your story as sacred.
wedding collections begin at $3000 for intimate weddings under 5 hours, most couples invest $4500 for full day celebrations

We get to know each other over a phone or zoom call, and talk about what type of photography experience would best fit your day. I love hearing about your specific vision for your day and the meaning behind it for you!

A signed contract and $1000 retainer holds your date, and we’re booked! You receive my welcome guide and we plan a beautiful engagement photo session for you.

I am available to you at every step of the process, from creating a custom photo timeline that allows you to relax and enjoy your day, to putting together a list of family photos so nothing gets missed and you don’t have to worry about a thing.

Scroll a few love stories
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. My work is rooted in preserving real stories. The quiet moments, the big, loud, laughter-filled ones, and everything in between on a single day of your life. These galleries are filled with legacy, some reallyyyy good stories, and the honest memories of the couples who’ve entrusted me with documenting their love.
finally,
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. Let’s fully document yours.
