I've been specializing in weddings for nearly 15 years. My style includes capturing the many genuine moments that occur during the wedding day in an unobtrusive and low key way. Documenting the day in an artistic and non cheesy way really tells the story of a couple's big day.

Awarded Best of Zola

Matt communicated clearly throughout the entire planning process and made sure we felt supported every step of the way. On our wedding day, he captured everything we wanted and more—the photos turned out beautiful and exceeded what we had hoped for. He was great to work with and went out of their way to make sure we had all the shots we needed. We're so happy we booked Mollan Photography for our wedding and would absolutely recommend them to any couple looking for a photographer.”

I also give back through community projects and my annual tradition of donating Christmas toys to the local children’s hospital. I’m honored to help preserve your story, one photo at a time.

Bold, unfiltered wedding photography for couples who want their photos to actually feel like them. You don't need to know how to pose. You don't need a Pinterest-perfect wedding. And you definitely don't need to tone yourselves down for my camera. I'm Katy, a Detroit wedding photographer capturing the big feelings, belly laughs, happy tears, packed dance floors, killer portraits, and all the beautifully chaotic shit in between. Most of my couples tell me they're awkward in front of a camera. Good. Those are my favorite people. My job isn't to turn you into models. It's to give you enough direction to look damn good while still letting you be yourselves.

She was so easy to talk with and communicated with us every step of the way, always supporting our ideas and willing to listen. Katy was a joy to have at our wedding, and everybody there loved her. The photos she captured were absolutely stunning - we couldn't imagine our wedding day without her there. The quality of her work and the value she provided was incredible. We are over the moon with how all the photos turned out and will cherish them forever.”

I truly believe that a wedding day is as magical as the first snowfall — both fleeting and beautiful in their own way. As time goes by, those precious moments start to melt away, and as the saying goes, 'a picture is worth a thousand words.' There’s something deeply rewarding about capturing the perfect moment, but the real magic happens when you see the look on someone’s face as they experience that moment for the first time. It’s as if the photo becomes a timeless treasure, something they can hold onto forever, and that feeling? It’s truly indescribable!

I’m Julia - people always ask me how long I’ve been a photographer for and the cliché (but true) answer is for forever. I’ve walked through many alleys that led me to photographing weddings. I worked for the Field Museum photographing meteorites during my college years in Chicago, then worked as a freelancer in the automotive industry when I moved back to Michigan, and worked in a studio photographing everything from seniors to pets. It wasn’t until 5 years ago I decided I loved photographing weddings and couples. I feel like they’re all connected somehow. I'm lucky I found my niche and even luckier that I got to run with it.

“Buckle up, we are planning on writing an incredible review. To future brides & grooms reading our review: If you are going to do anything right for your wedding day (besides marrying your best friend), hire Julia as your wedding photographer!!! We can not stress enough how much Julia impacted our wedding day. First, she has your back. She helped us keep calm and keep our timeline on track. Julia had a great sense of reading the room. She was by our side when we needed her. Second, we had a BLAST! Julia kept our energy UP (she's a Leo, if you know you know). She had both of us laughing, smiling, and overall happy. Even our bridal party and family LOVED Julia's professionalism and how she conducts group photos. My bridesmaids were obsessed with her and plan on using her in the future. She's seriously that good. Third, her photography style was exactly what we needed. She is super knowledgeable about poses, lighting, background, etc. She was honest and explained why she had us do certain pictures. She took into account any preferences we had (standing on the left side rather than the right, mobility concerns, etc). Also, be ready to get creative! Overall, Julia is the best wedding photographer we could've asked for and so happy she got to capture our wedding day! Service we chose: 8-hour package with engagement photoshoot To Julia: thank you so much for making our wedding day amazing. You played such an important role in our day. We talk about how we miss you already and hope we can plan some photoshoots in the future!”

Hey there! I'm Nicole! I am a confident and raw documentary Detroit wedding photographer serving couples with enthusiasm and sincerity. I am uniquely gifted at blending into the background from center stage and guiding you through the day with ease. I believe that integrity and sincerity outweigh popularity. So, I'm focused on your desires and interests. Yes, I'm a professional wedding photographer who has been in the business since 2012 with published work, but it's not the "pretty" pictures that matter. It's you! You're the reason I started pursuing my passion over 8 years ago. ​

“Since the beginning, Nicole has demonstrated her expert knowledge and supreme professionalism. She always delivers, is punctual, and has constantly exceeded my expectations. Her attention to detail and respect of the craft produces beautiful imagery that is has a candid quality, but also has a certain modern dreamy aesthetic that I love. She is also so excellent at direction. You may think you'll feel awkward in front of a camera, but she provides you a worksheet to help understand your preferences and comforts and work around those. But even then, in the moment you just feel so happy and trusting with her that you will learn to be more at ease and trust in the process. She will guide you to the perfect poses, and even fix your hair, your veil and layers of tulle. (Seriously, thank you so much). Nicole also offers excellent recommendations on vendors, timelines, and provides numerous check ins and worksheets to keep you on track. Everything is carefully planned out and I love that. It helped me immensely to know where I'm at, where I should be, and what's to come. I also was super impressed with her second shooter Taylor. Both of them together captured the most lovely images, and I can't wait to get them printed. Another thing that I appreciated, was her blogs on her website, that dive into detail about her process and even the fact that she has numerous back up methods – which is something you don't think about unless you're in the digital industry. It's a huge sense of relief knowing Nicole has everything squared away so you can simply focus on your big day. I could go on, but I'll stop here and remind you that Nicole is the best in the business and worth the investment and more.”

I take my job seriously, but wedding days are a ton of fun and so I have a good time too... being creative, bonding with clients and enjoying capturing love stories. I think the joy I have for life is reflected throughout my photos. As one of my clients put it, "It’s wonderful energy to be around someone that loves what they do."

There are no rules for how your wedding photos should look, or how you should be in front of the camera. Every couple is different, so your experience should be too. I use a blend of intentional posing and candid prompts to get you moving, laughing, connecting, and having fun in a way that feels natural to you.

“We were looking for fun, romantic, light & bright photos that are also timeless and true to color, and man did Rich deliver. Communication was amazing- he doesn't take long to respond and is easy to get ahold of. He was so easy to work with from handling a little last minute chaos with engagement photo locations to us replanning our entire wedding within three months. He made sure our engagement and wedding photos went without a hitch. Not only was Rich fun to work with, but he was a fantastic resource and we enjoyed the levity and expertise he brought to every step of the process. Our photos are STUNNING. I will recommend Gold & Elm to anybody who will listen!”
