Here’s the way I shoot a wedding day in a nutshell – for a majority of the day, I like to step back and take photos in an non-intrusive way that allows your story to be authentically told while still giving guidance for the best backdrops + lighting as needed. For family, newlywed, and bridal party portraits, I use prompts to help everyone feel as comfortable as possible and to spark natural connection. 

A BLEND OF EMOTIONAL & HONEST STORYTELLING WITH A cinematic FEEL

I’d take wind blown hair, dirty bare feet, and ugly crying at the altar over a perfectly posed image any day.

Embracing all of the imperfect, non-traditional, untamed, and unique pieces of your story is what makes your photos feel like YOU.

Mallory has a genuine enthusiasm for making you look and FEEL your very best. So if you want to feel like you are spending time with your best girlfriend who puts every ounce of her incredible energy into making you feel beautiful, then you should definitely choose her every time. I know I certainly will!”

It’s very easy to see from the quality of Mallory’s work that she is a very talented photographer, but what you can’t see in an image is how amazing she is to work with. 

We are friends.

I just happen to also be your photographer. That’s how I want you to see it. That’s how I want you to feel. My heart is fully invested because I know the value of memories that photographs carry. 

“I felt like I relived the whole day from start to finish looking through our photos and that’s exactly what we wanted. I cannot thank Mallory enough for making that possible.”

What to expect

You get MARRIED.

Now that we have a plan, just sit back and soak up every moment of the day knowing I’ll be there to preserve the big moments, the small moments, and everything in between. At the end of the night, I will have a few polaroids for you to obsess over until I can get you some teaser images. When I get back home from shooting, the first thing I do is backup the images to not one, not two, but three different locations so you know they are always safe. 

Gallery delivery.

I know the excitement and anticipation you have about seeing your wedding photos for the first time is through the roof, so I hustle hard to deliver your photos on time. You will get some teaser images within 2 weeks and your full gallery within 10 weeks.



It’s important we get to know each other and that we both feel we’re a good fit for each other, cause trust me – it matters. I want you to feel confident in your decision + I’m here to answer any questions you may have. We can do this through a phone call or facetime - whichever you prefer.


We connect.

To book your date, a 30% retainer + signed contract is all you need and then I’M ALL YOURS, YAAAASSSS!! After booking, I’ll send you over my guides with vendor recommendations and all my tips + tricks to help you with planning.


Schedule your engagement session. 

I offer my wedding couples 50% off the cost of an engagement session because I believe in the power of building a relationship prior to the wedding day. Not required of course, but strongly encouraged.


we have a timeline review.

4-6 weeks prior to your wedding, we’ll schedule a call to go over your timeline. From there, I make a photo timeline to ensure the day runs smoothly + that I’m there for all the events you want covered. 



We make shit official.

The harsh reality is that:

1. Talking about budgeting + money sucks. I get it. BUT,

2. The images from your wedding day are incredibly valuable for one huge reason... there are NO DO OVERS + it is the only thing you'll have to look back and reminisce on your day. If you've ever been in a wedding, or even at a wedding - you know how fast they go by. Creating images that will allow you to relive all those happy, romantic, goofy moments of your day exactly how you remember them is what I constantly strive for.

Which leads me to 3. You will never, ever regret investing in a photographer you trust and are excited about!

frequently asked questions

How many images do we receive?

For weddings, I deliver 50-75 images per hour on average. For sessions, images average between 40-60 total. 

Do I need a second shooter? What are the benefits to having one?

 I am super confident and capable of shooting all parts of your day solo. But there are plenty of benefits to having one. Some of the main things are the ability to be two places at once, a different perspective, + overall more images. I can go more in depth with this if you’d like, just ask! 

Can I see an example of a boudoir session?

Yes. To keep my clients privacy, I do not keep boudoir galleries public - but if you would like to see a full gallery, let me know and I’d be happy to send you one!
