Molly McElenney Photography

capturing the most brilliant colors and special moments! She did both our engagement and wedding photos and I could not be happier with all of our photos. Molly’s photos really captured the magic of our day! She gave the best direction for our posed photos and made them look so natural. She also included a lot of beautiful candid shots. Looking back at the photos, I feel like I am reliving the best day of my life. I cannot thank Molly enough for making that possible! Molly was also so kind, fun, and organized throughout the day. She made sure the day ran so smoothly and we had such a great time along the way! I would 100% recommend hiring Molly as your wedding photographer!

r engagement and wedding, and WOW how lucky are we to have snagged her! She is so incredibly talented, and most importantly, she made us feel so comfortable. Trusting someone to capture the most important day of your life is a big thing, and wow does Molly deliver. THANK YOU MOLLY, for making sure these huge life moments for us have been captured in time so beautifully - we cannot wait for our next life event just to get to work together again!!!!

eived multiple compliments from our friends and family as well about how lovely and professional Molly was to work with at the wedding, and how amazing and talented she was with capturing our special memories. She did such an amazing job of capturing not only the moments, but all of the warmth, joy, and love we felt on our wedding day!

fect -- photos were on the top of that list, since they're the way I'm going to remember my special day forever! My wedding was in California so I initially looked at ~10 different photographers who were local to the area, most of whom were recommended by my wedding planner. I wanted someone who I knew, trusted and felt comfortable with, so I could ask them to take some shots I wanted. I also wanted someone that could capture the aesthetic I wanted for my wedding: the natural beauty of the Newport Harbor, the elevated yet casual experience on the beach, the fun little moments between myself and my now-husband. After looking at photographers' photos for hours, I booked Molly. I knew it would be a bit more expensive to hire her and bring her to California but I LOVED the photos she'd taken for other couples and since we went to high school together, I figured she'd be someone I'm more comfortable with. I was right, though I didn't have to ask her to take any shots because she had better recommendations for photos than I did! haha Working with Molly both nights was fantastic. During the night of the rehearsal dinner, she arrived on time and took photos the whole night. She pulled my husband and me aside to get moments with the sunsets and different scenes around the boat. She was able to capture all of our guests having fun and enjoying the boat ride around Newport Harbor. The day of the wedding, she brought another local photographer with her to make sure we had coverage of both the bridesmaids and the groomsmen getting ready. She spent the afternoon with us capturing our hair and makeup experience and taking photos of all my bridesmaids. She captured my first look with my dad and my husband, and had incredible recommendations on where to stand, how to pose and how to move my hair/vail to make the photos beautiful. She took photos of the wedding all throughout the night and to my pleasant surprise, started sending me touched-up photos of the wedding THAT NIGHT! I was able to make my own first social media post first thing in the morning with her beautiful photographs. Molly was able to capture all of the beautiful moments of both nights and had an extremely quick turnaround with some initial touched-up photos. I highly highly highly recommend Molly for your wedding!
