Thanks to recommendations from couples on The Knot
Love has a way of surprising us. I know this from experience. My husband and I married, divorced, and then found our way back to each other seven years later. That journey taught me something profound: when love is real, it doesn’t follow rules. It evolves. It deepens. It returns. That’s the kind of love I photograph—the kind that chooses each other, again and again. That’s why I do what I do. Weddings aren’t just a beautiful day, they’re your story. The in-between moments, the laughter, the tears, the glances no one else notices--those are the moments I live to capture.
My goal is simple: your photos should feel like you—genuine, timeless, and unstaged. I guide when needed, step back when not, and create space for you to be fully yourselves. At the heart of it all, I create images that let you relive your wedding—not just as it looked, but as it felt.

My amazing experience with Molly didn’t just begin the day we hired her, it started well before we even made the decision to have her capture our special day. From the very beginni...
ng, she was kind, professional, creative, and genuinely interested in understanding what we wanted and needed in a photographer. Her process was seamless, her communication was outstanding, and her passion for her work shined through every step of the way. We truly believe her talent for capturing our moments is unmatched.
Just a few days after our wedding, Molly sent us the most incredible sneak peek, and we were blown away. She made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and captured every moment so naturally and beautifully. Looking through our first gallery felt like reliving the best day of our lives. The colors, the light, the emotion...everything was absolutely stunning. We can’t wait to see the rest!
Beyond her artistry, Molly is simply a wonderful person to be around. She kept us calm during the rush of the day, cheered us on, and made the entire experience feel effortless and fun. She was everywhere at once, fixing details, capturing candid laughter, and documenting every genuine moment, all without us even noticing. Every photo feels alive, filled with love and joy.
It’s rare to find someone who can capture not just moments, but feelings...and Molly does exactly that. She gave us memories we’ll cherish for a lifetime, and choosing her was truly one of the best decisions we made!
If you’re looking for someone who will pour her heart into your story the way she did for ours, look no further. Molly, we can’t thank you enough, and we’ll definitely be hiring you again!

ry easy to work with, always looking for an authentic moment and great at giving prompts for the less authentic ones, and delivered a gallery above and beyond our wildest dreams (with many more pictures than even promised!). Our photos have a sweet, timeless, and genuine feel that represents who my husband and I are so well. I can't stop looking at them! Our perfect day was immortalized in the best way, and she did not miss a single detail. She also made us feel seen, prioritizing what we wanted out of our wedding day and experience. I cannot give enough recommendations for her! Just an amazing human also.

Molly is incredible! She is so kind and so much fun to work with! We are so lucky that we found her and absolutely love all of our photos!! From the first time talking with Molly, ...
she made us feel comfortable and helped us refine our vision for our photos and our wedding day. She communicates very quickly, has so many good ideas, and captures details that I never would’ve thought to photograph.
My husband, who does not enjoy taking pictures, had so much fun at our engagement session that we scheduled an extra shoot, including one of our dogs. Molly was flexible to fit us in her schedule, picked the perfect location, and the photos are SO cute!
On our wedding day, Molly captured so many special moments and made it all fit into the day seamlessly. Every time we got photos back from Molly, we were so impressed with her ability to capture moments that feel like us. We had the best time working with Molly and cannot stop looking at our wedding photos!!

Molly took both our engagement and wedding photos, and we are absolutely thrilled with her work! We chose to work with her both because we loved her warm, romantic photo style, and...
because of her calming presence from our first meeting. We are both very nervous in front of the camera, but she made us feel relaxed and took so much of the stress out of the process with fun prompts and guidance. She was a lot of fun to work with and took so much of the pressure off our wedding day. We loved her emphasis on fun, candid shots that showed our personalities along with more traditional photos. We were absolutely blown away when we saw our photos for the first time and could not be happier!

If you’re looking for a photographer who’s worth every penny, reliable, and creates a comfortable atmosphere, Molly is your girl! When I first started looking for a photographer, i...
t was overwhelming with so many options, but as soon as I saw Molly’s gallery, I knew she was the one. Her editing style and the way she captures love and emotion on your special day is nothing short of magical.
Right from the start, Molly made everything easy. Communication was clear, quick, and stress-free. She’s super organized, setting up meetings, asking all the right questions, and making sure everything went smoothly on the big day. You can tell she’s got years of experience under her belt, and it shows in how effortlessly she handles everything.
On the wedding day, she understood exactly what my husband and I wanted. Molly really listened to our priorities and made sure to capture those perfect moments. When we got our gallery, I was blown away—she didn’t just catch the big, obvious shots but also those little, special moments that fly by so fast. Now we can relive our wedding day forever, and I couldn’t be more grateful for that.
I highly recommend scheduling a meeting with her—you won’t be disappointed. I have absolutely no regrets about choosing her as our photographer!

wedding day, and she delivered!! The photos were everything I dreamed of.
Molly is just so fun to work with - when she directed the bridesmaid getting ready photos, it was like working with a friend. Literally such a wonderful addition to the bridal suite to have someone as kind as Molly around.
Also, during the wedding and reception, we never noticed Molly and her second photographer around, yet they were capturing beautiful images of the day. Our wedding did not feel like a big photoshoot, and yet every image I could have possibly wanted was captured.
My husband and I wholeheartedly recommend Molly for literally any photography need you have. 10/10

When my wife and I found Molly’s name and examples of her work online amongst other photographers in our area, something special about her style and her eye really caught our atten...
tion. Little did we know at that time how wonderful of a person she was as well.
We first asked Molly to help us shoot an intimate elopement in a local park and were blown away by her ability to capture the whole afternoon so well for us and how comfortable it was having her there. We didn’t think twice when it came to finding a photographer for a wedding reception/celebration one year later. We were thrilled to have her with us again and within days of the event, we were sent a beautifully organized series of albums full of wonderfully captured memories. All edited to perfection.
We can’t thank Molly enough and will be hiring her for events as long as she’ll stick around!

I never leave reviews but I feel SO lucky to have found Molly that I feel a drive to pay it forward❤️I can’t believe she somehow fit our budget, because her photos look like she co...
uld charge thousands more. If you are debating who to hire… your search is over. Molly is AMAZING!!
My partner and I are both notoriously bad at being in front of a camera. We get uncomfortable and have painfully fake “camera smiles” that we usually can’t control or get rid of. With Molly, all that vanished! She was so good at bringing out natural smiles - pricelessly important! - but also gets plenty of more serious romantic photos as well.
Also for some reason I thought I’d have to come up with most of the shot concepts (which now seems silly). Being so busy with wedding planning, by the time we arrived for our engagement photos I had nothing. I soon realized that was NOT a problem- of course, Molly is a professional and had no shortage of ideas. She directed us in where and how to stand which was such a relief. As we did so, she asked us playful questions and gave us little word games to play that made us smile and laugh genuinely. She also rolled with the punches as we hadn’t warned her we both had brought 2-3 outfits😂she waited patiently and not only did we end up having fun, the photos were beautiful!!
By now I’ve received a sneak peek of our wedding photos too, and I am EVEN MORE IMPRESSED. I love them so much I could cry. When searching for a photographer within our price range, I browsed other portfolios that were quite pretty but felt more staged and formal. (While I loved BEING staged, I didn’t want them to appear awkwardly so.) I consulted my friends on who to hire, but didn’t tell them my preference and they ALL agreed.
Molly’s pictures from the engagement feel intimate, playful, romantic, moody. Her photos so far from the wedding are even better. She finds the best lighting too!!! And she guided a shot that I was skeptical about at the time (sort of a wreath of bridesmaid flowers around my face) which is now one of my favorites. I’ve heard the same from my husband and bridesmaids too, everyone has pointed out how much they love that one. Trust her❤️she also seemed wonderfully relaxed, which was just the energy I needed on my wedding day. Molly is a sweet soul and truly top of the line🥰
