FOR THE WILDLY IN LOVE

couples + portrait + wedding  photo & video

LET’S CAPTURE YOUR MOST MEANINGFUL MOMENTS TOGETHER.

Your most meaningful moments are made in the details, even the ones you don’t see. In those big moments, your only job is to be present and take it all in. Mine is to make sure you can. My goal is that years from now, the photos will still tell the story clearly enough that even a stranger could feel it.

Choosing a photographer isn’t just about what you see; it’s about how you feel. It’s built on trust, honesty, and connection.

Let's capture magical moments that will last a lifetime. Whether it's the grand gesture or the tender whispers, every shot tells a unique love story. I’ll freeze those candid laughs and stolen glances. Your love, your moments, my lens - a way of telling your story in the making.

Work with me

Hey, I’m Molly

I’m Molly Sloan Ballinger, a photographer based out of Colorado.

A woman with dark, wavy hair up, wearing a sleeveless denim vest, a black lace top, a black skirt with lace edge, hoop earrings, a necklace, and a watch, smiling while holding a camera with a large lens.

Growing up in Colorado I found inspiration in the landscapes and people surrounding me, shaping my style and approach to photography. It has allowed me to bring my love for art and my desire to freeze time in a frame together. I’ve always been drawn to telling stories through images.

Your Story Matters

Every photo should tell a story. I strive to capture not just the image, but the emotions, atmosphere, and essence of the moment. I capture candid, genuine moments that reflect the love between two people. Whether it’s a spontaneous laugh or stolen glance, I aim to create images that capture those moments.
