About this vendor
My style is to shoot candid all day and pose beautiful portraits perfect for framing. When I got married, I was looking for a photographer who was going to shoot from the beginning to the end for the wedding photo book and take some pretty pics of us to frame AND doesn’t cost too much money. It was a lot harder to find than I thought. I am shooting the way I would want. I want to be able to look through my photos of the day and relive the moments. I also want some modern, pretty posed pics. Easy enough!
No 4-hour packages, no having to buy prints from someone, no additional charges for online galleries. Everything is included.
Photojournalism background
My years of work in photojournalism have set me up to take candid photos for weddings and events. I started working as a newspaper photographer right after college and started making my way west across the country.
I have worked for The Colorado Springs Gazette, The Antelope Valley Press, the Petoskey News-Review, and Lockheed Martin Aeronautics. My photos have appeared in the LA Times, The Seattle Times, USA Today, The Detroit News, and on MSNBC.com.

Molly is one of the most fantastic people I have ever met. We had our first photographer/videographer back out so we had to quickly look for another. My *now husband* and I could n...
ot find agree on another until we came across Molly and it was an immediate no brainer, especially after our first conversation. Her price is amazing (it is an investment *obviously*) for the service she provides. Molly is wonderful and so easy at making you feel comfortable in front of the camera, which I am definitely not. She gives all the posing direction, ease of making you laugh, and has a great eye for those picture perfect locations. Our engagement photos turned out beautiful and we are now awaiting our wedding pictures but I cannot recommend Molly enough. On our wedding day she was so patient, understanding, and advocate for you. Her team member, Brandon, was incredible. He quickly fit right in with our group and kept us laughing. They felt like a part of our family. Truly would love to be able to book both of them a million times over. Please do not hesitate.

ting her, it felt as though we had known her forever. She kept things light, fun and exciting. And she was willing to try different angles or ideas we had! Molly provided clear communication throughout the months leading up to our wedding. She came to our event site prior to the wedding to discuss angles, picture otions and what our expectations were. During our wedding day, Molly ran all over to make sure she got pictures of the girls and guys getting ready. She captured so many beautiful pictures, and even went above and beyond and walked into the thick woods in a dress for us! She is dedicated, talented, kind and so amazing at what she does. Our wedding day would not have been the same without her. Should we need a photographer in the future, Molly will be the ONLY one we reach out to! You will not be disappointed with her or her work.

the day a very special one. During the photography session Molly and her assistant made everyone feel comfortable, and kept things light and funny, especially for the bride and groom. At no point did we ever feel rushed and she always took our ideas and ran with them. The candid photos she took really captured our true happiness and joy from that day. I have not been able to stop looking at her incredible work. I highly recommend working with Molly for such important occasions.

mix of editorial shots and portraits. She was very accommodating of our budget and stayed late to capture our fireworks. She printed out photos of inspiration shots I sent her through the planning process and put effort into making sure I got every shot I wanted. The edits were perfect, not too overdone. Can't recommend her enough, you will not find a better photographer with such a fair price.
We worked with Molly for an engagement photo shoot. Molly was an absolute pleasure to work with and made our experience a memorable one. She was very kind to schedule with us on ve...
ry short notice and even after having some scheduling challenges on our end, still make the shoot work. She was on time and came with a full arsenal of gear. It is clear that Molly is a masterful photographer but in addition to that, she was informative and amiable throughout the process and put us both at ease. Her vibe was both professional and personal. We are in love with our photos after receiving the final edits on the schedule discussed. Do not hesitate or bat an eye to hire her for your event! Thank you Molly for your professionalism and fantastic work.
I highly recommend considering Molly as your photographer! She photographed our wedding in October during the pandemic and never missed a mark! She is the absolute sweetest person ...
and made my entire wedding party feel comfortable and captured every moment from start to finish! Everyone has raved about our wedding photos and my husband and I LOVE them as well! She’s affordable and professional; but relatable as well! So happy that we chose Molly as our photographer, I promise you’ll be happy as well!
