A Thank You to my Couples from 2016 | Thursday Thoughts

2016 weddings have now come to a close! This year has been wonderful. I worked with some AMAZING couples who have just blown me away. I am still growing as a person. I am still growing as a business. And with everything that has transpired this year it has felt like a giant step in the right direction on achieving my personal& business goals. I have adventured with my ideal brides more this year than any other. Some of my favorite grooms have come from this years weddings. I have loved shooting some party hardy wedding parties at the most lovely venues. It makes me that much more excited for my adventurous couples for 2017! 

To all the wonderful couples I have photographed this year:
I have been truly blessed in serving you and capturing a small piece of your love story. Thank you for letting me in your life, meet your families, and dance with you while capturing your sick dance moves on the dance floor. I pray that your first year of marriage is filled with true joy and happiness.

Thank you for trusting me as your photographer.

Love Always,

Molly

Meet My Second Shooter

Lead photographers want to capture every moment that makes a wedding day unique and special. When they have a straight focus they are not able to get all the candids of your family and friends enjoying the day as much as they would like to! Hiring a second shooter for the Lead photographer has fixed this

Meet Marcus Sanchez. He is a NASCAR enthusiast, avid movie watcher, and my amazing second shooter. He is an extra pair of eyes and hands to help capture your wedding day. I am so grateful for his love and support and that handsome smile!

10 Random Facts About Your Photographer

10) I come from a large family of 7 including my parents; even though we are all loud and a little bit crazy, I can't imagine my life without them.
9) I met my husband while we both worked at our college's Museum and Gallery. I remember it perfectly because he was supposed to take over my shift but ended up horribly lost through the rooms.
8) Marcus and I both love watching a variety of movies. We have a growing DVD collection in our house, which will most likely be obsolete in 5 years.
7) One of my favorite places in the Twin Cities is Como Conservatory. My family would visit it every year and little did I know growing up, it was also the place I would marry my best friend.
6) My lucky numbers are 10 & 13.
5) I played many sports throughout high school and college, including volleyball, basketball, softball, track, and soccer. But by far my favorite is volleyball, which I still make time to play occasionally.
4) One of my crowning accomplishments is having graduated from college; never being book smart made college one of the most trying periods of my life. It was only through God's grace that it happened. 
3) I will almost always choose to sit in the sun.
2) I love baking cakes. Not only does it help me relax, but it also fuels my cupcake addiction. My favorite cupcakes I have baked recently have been Almond Cherry Cupcakes. Game changers.
1) My latest personal project has been starting a small garden in my tiny backyard. Last year, I began with a row of raspberry bushes with much success. This year I am experimenting with cucumbers, which I hope to build up to eventually grown asparagus.
