It’s been over five years and I am still dreaming about Karl Lagerfeld’s absolutely iconic Chanel Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2018 fashion show. Held inside the Grand Palais which the Chanel team turned into a romantic French garden complete with fountains, trelliage, and English roses, every bit of the presentation felt like a powdery pastel fairytale. Of course, it has me dreaming all things weddings. Just imagine—a ceremony and reception covered with green trellis details. A Chanel wedding dress.

more about Molly 

                                       I can't wait to learn more about your love story!

After pursuing my degree in fashion, I began my career as a travel photographer, exploring the world one country at a time and telling the stories of the people, places, art, and ideas that moved me. But, it was when I photographed my first destination wedding that I truly found my life’s calling.

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. 

Bonjour mon ami,
