sing | austin wedding photographer

i woke up early today, made a cup of coffee and came to sip it in my office while i go over my calendar for the week and prepare for a wedding later today at the ladybird johnson wildflower center. as i opened up my calendar (yes, a paper calendar. you can bring a girl into the digital age, but i’m not letting go of my paper!) i also opened my inbox. this heartfelt email from last weeks’ bride made my whole day already.

people will ask me if i shoot weddings because i love them. and i do. but what i love even more are the brides who hire me.

“You were so much more than a photographer for me that day. Your calming presence, reassuring smile and all around awesomeness meant so much. I told my sister that it felt like the coordinator was there to keep the wedding in order and you were there to keep my head in order! I don’t think I can try to put it into words before the bride hormones get the best of me:)

I have been singing your praises high and low (even though your photos do that for you) and can’t imagine having had anyone else photograph our wedding. Thank you for being a part of what will surely be one of the very best days of our lives.”

these two met while filming a music video and it is only appropriate that their wedding day felt like a beautiful theatrical set and the climactic moment in a much bigger story. both had such style and not a detail was left to chance- i absolutely loved how it all played out and hope you enjoy this peek into their dreamy wedding day.

my stupendous second photographer for the day, bonnie berry, also shot highlights of the day on film and if you are nice and patient those will be shared as well.

Kelley - I love the simple elegance of this wedding, simply gorgeous pictures Mollie!

brie homer - beautifully captured! the detail shots are so beautiful! what a great wedding!

Marilyn - These are beautiful images. The wedding itself is stunning, but your work really captures the essence of their style.

Jess - Beautiful job, what a gorgeous couple and looks like a very fun wedding!

Nancy, MOB - I want to make a big SHOUT OUT to Mollie, whose work I am amazed by! Kelsey picked Mollie because she looked at her work, other wedding photos, and liked her style. I liked Mollie’s easy personality when I met her to pass off the deposit. But I guess one always has a sense of uneasiness …like ‘who is this person’… or admittedly, I lean that way… the queen of skeptics.

The bridal portrait day went really well…and just like our brief meeting before, Mollie’s calm, relaxed nature loosened up me and Kelsey while instilling quiet confidence. BUT..it wasn’t till we got back her (rushed) proofs …that we knew –
W-O-W! Stunning! An amazing eye.

Mollie worked VERY hard to help us have beautiful bridal portraits ready for the Sunday night wedding!

Then, on Sunday…afternoon and night, she made it happen. In the least obtrusive way, she guided and directed (as in directing a film) the entire event. Kelsey and Dave were so grateful to her by the end of their wedding night. She worked really hard!

But, that is not all…you can see…because all of you have gotten to see her work product here. Truly beyond belief! Beyond my wildest expectations or imagination. A true gift for staging, lighting, when to show in B&W vs color, etc, etc.

I could not be happier now with such vivid memories of the most wonderful evening..and now lovely pictures to remember it by…forever.

Thanks, Mollie!! so much. -Nancy, mother of the Bride
