Today I am thrilled to announce that French Wedding Style has featured Alex & Cassy’s romantic proposal in Monet’s Gardens in Giverny, France! On a misty Parisian morning, I met Cassy and Alex outside of their flat on the Champs-Élysées. Cassy, the style icon behind the fashion blog Cassandra Kathlee, and Alex, a Malibu lawyer, were in Paris for the first part of their three-week European holiday, and unbeknownst to Cassy, Alex had hired me to journey with them to Monet’s garden in Giverny, France to photograph their proposal. We met just as the sun started to rise over the Arc […]

Monica & Harrison Five-Year Wedding Anniversary Photos in Paris

Every so often you get one of those inquiries that sends your heart aflutter – and for me, this happened earlier this summer with a message from designer, stylist, and ballerina Monica Francis. Monica and her husband Harrison were traveling to Paris in late September for their five-year-anniversary, and Monica was interested in creating a beautifully styled shoot showcasing her brand vision. I immediately connected with her sophisticated imagery and her passion for travel (she and Harrison spent all last summer traveling through Europe – #goals), and when she told me her brand inspiration included Audrey Hepburn and the beautiful facade of […]

Brittanie and Habib’s romance is a fairytale story of love at first sight. They met two summers ago at a concert and from the moment they laid eyes on each other they knew that there was something special. They fell in love quickly, and 15 months later Habib surprised Brittanie on a weekend getaway to Chicago by getting down on one knee and asking her to spend the rest of her life with him. She, of course, said yes! For their Indianapolis engagement photos, they knew they wanted to be photographed in the location of their first official date – […]

My work is luminous, poetic, elegant, and above all, intentional. It will be my deepest honor to guide you through the wedding planning process, to help you create unforgettable moments and experiences, and, ultimately, to craft images where time stands still.

I'm Molly - an international wedding photographer eternally devoted to capturing the beauty of your union.
