Molly Brooke, New York Wedding and Elopement Photographer

My approach to photography is rooted in connection. Whether I’m capturing the quiet glance between a couple on their wedding day or the candid laughter during a session, my goal is always the same: to make you feel seen, comfortable, and genuinely yourself. 

Over the years, I've been told I have a knack for reading a room — sensing when to step in, when to step back, and when to catch that fleeting, perfect moment. I believe great photography isn’t just about the technical stuff (though I’ve got that covered); it’s about knowing how to make people feel at home in front of the camera.

No forced poses. No awkward moments. Just authentic, honest images that reflect who you truly are.

Whether we're shooting in your living room, on a mountaintop, or at your dream venue, I’ll meet you where you are — with calm energy, quiet confidence, and maybe a few bad jokes to lighten the mood.

If you're looking for a photographer who’ll guide you gently and make the whole process feel natural and stress-free, I’d love to connect.

Let’s create something real together.

  • Where do I even begin!! My fiancé and I are absolutely over the moon with our engagement photos, all thanks to Molly! She went above and beyond in every way—scouting the perfect locations, guiding us with such ease and warmth, and capturing moments that felt so authentically us. Her creativity and talent are unmatched, and she has such an eye for detail and emotion. Beyond that, Molly is just a beautiful soul—genuine, kind, and such a calming presence during what could have been a nerve-wracking shoot. We felt so comfortable and truly had so much fun, and it shows in every photo. We’re so grateful for her and can’t wait to have her capture more special moments in the future. Highly, highly recommend! Thank you Molly, for being everything we needed and more 🩶

  • "Molly is such a sweet soul. We had the pleasure of working with her for our engagement photos, wedding and even with our pup. She has an amazing eye for detail. She has such a fun personality to work with, but she's also structured. I am amazed with how our wedding photos turned out. I couldn't be happier. This is truly her calling. I'd recommend her 1000 times!"

  • "Molly is INCREDIBLE at what she does. From the moment you reach out about working with her, to the moment you receive your photos you will be in the best of hands. She really cares about her clients and the work she does and it shows! I’m not comfortable behind a camera but you’d never know from the photos I got back from Molly. She made me feel confident and safe and the results were amazing and absolutely stunning"

    Ally

  • "I can’t recommend Molly enough. She takes the time to fully understand and connect with whoever she is shooting so she can deliver the perfect moment. Throughout the whole shoot Molly was welcoming, helpful and attentive. She explained how we should pose as a couple, but never made it feel forced or like we were trying to be something were not. Instead, she lets your relationship speak for itself and makes some minor adjustments that end up looking phenomenal in the photograph. She also has an incredible knack for finding the perfect candid shot that you’ll immediately fall in love with. I can’t wait to do any and all my future photoshoots with her!

  • Where do I begin!? Molly is not only very professional but the most personable photographer I’ve met. Her work really speaks for itself. When I wanted to redo my engagement photos Molly helped me from start to finishing trying to decide where, how, what outfits & never made me feel like I was guessing on my own. During the session she made us feel very comfortable as we both haven't really had professional photos done together more than one other time. Her attention for detail is immaculate & she made sure to encompass who are as a couple. She was punctual, communicative & never left me wondering about the process in its entirety. She made my engagement photo dreams come true & also became a great friend! 10/10 recommend Molly for any photography needs

    - Alexis

  • Molly took my maternity photos and did an exemplary job! She had the most creative ideas and really made the shoot fun. I felt really comfortable with her behind the camera knowing she takes extra time to make sure she’s getting the perfect shot and making me feel so comfortable and beautiful in my own skin. The photos turned out exactly as I was hoping and look beautiful hanging in our hallway.

  • From the moment we met Molly, we knew she was the perfect fit to capture our special day. Molly's dedication and passion is evident as she made the journey from Buffalo to Utica, spending New Year's Eve with us to ensure every moment of our wedding was beautifully documented. Molly's warm and comforting presence instantly put us at ease, making the entire experience feel effortless and natural. She went above and beyond to capture not just the big moments, but also the candid emotions that made our day so memorable. Her attention to detail and creativity truly captured our love story, and we couldn't be happier with the results. Molly's talent behind the lens is undeniable, but it's her genuine kindness and love for what she does that sets her apart. We are beyond grateful to Molly for capturing our wedding day in such a breathtaking way, and we can't wait for her to continue capturing all the special moments in our future. Thank you, Molly, for being more than just a photographer, you're a cherished part of our journey.

  • Molly was absolutely amazing! She was so patient with me and my dog. I spent my entire session laughing and having an amazing time! In addition to the session with my dog, she took photos of just me in a dress that she brought and it was absolutely gorgeous. She made me feel beautiful and empowered. She will definitely be my life long photographer!
