Imagine...

On your wedding day, you wake up in a lovely riverside cabin that you've rented for the week. With no rush, you enjoy a peaceful morning before getting ready for the day. Lacing up hiking boots, you double check your pack to ensure your vow books are safely tucked inside. You feel a mix of excitement and nerves as you prepare to marry your best friend.

 

After driving to the trailhead, you embark on a hike to a magnificent viewpoint where you exchange your vows in privacy. As you celebrate with a picturesque picnic overlooking distant mountains, you cuddle and cherish this moment together, thinking that nothing could be better.

This is what your wedding day could look like

All dogs welcome!
Also, "Hi, I'm Molly!"

My dogs are a huge part of my life, so I figured I'd get the whole "yes, you can totally bring your dog" thing out of the way!

5 years ago, I set out to help other couples have amazing wedding day experiences where they felt free to be themselves. After helping to create and documenting countless elopements, Outdoor Chronicles is focused on creating one-of-a-kind memories for people that value quality time together over everything else.

I'm passionate about creating unforgettable and environmentally-friendly elopement experiences in the two lovely corners of the world I call home - Upstate New York and Tirol, Austria! As a licensed hiking guide,  I understand what it takes to find that perfect spot for you. Whether your ideal site is perched atop jaw-dropping vistas in the Adirondack High Peaks region, next to a seasonal lake atop a high peak in the White Mountains, or amidst the craggy peaks of the Alps, with me at the helm we can create something magical that honors everything between you two.  My goal is for your outdoor experience to be exactly what you want it to be – whether that's total relaxation or an adventurous hike up the mountain side. Let me help make those dreams a reality–no matter how sweaty we get along the way!

You thought about a traditional wedding, but...

You feel safer in the mountains and amongst the trees.

You crave adventure. And maybe you hate being the center of attention.

You want to be truly happy on your wedding day doing whatever it is that brings you joy. And nothing that doesn't.

Doesn't choosing to have an intimate wedding day experience where you truly enjoy your time together surrounded by beautiful scenery sound AMAZING?

Meet Your Elopement Photographer

WHEN IT COMES TO HIRING AN ELOPEMENT PHOTOGRAPHER, YOU WANT SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS AND WILL EMPOWER YOU TO HAVE THE WEDDING YOU  WANT!

As an adventure wedding photographer and licensed NY hiking guide who specializes in small weddings and crafting intentional experiences, I know that sometimes two people feel so much more comfortable getting married either alone or with a small, intimate group of family and friends. I'm here to support and celebrate you in that decision while helping you have the best wedding day ever!

Once upon a time, I found myself planning a wedding that just didn't feel right. I'm an introvert who would have felt extremely uncomfortable sharing my vows with a huge group of people. Not only that, we hated the idea of getting married in a generic venue that didn't mean anything to us. It's in the mountains that we felt safe, so that's how and where we ended up getting married!

 

Long story short, that's the inspiration behind how Outdoor Chronicles Photography was born! I empower couples to get married in a way that feels natural and truly honest to them. Because why do anything else when it's such a big milestone?

I like to work locally in the Adirondacks or Catskills of New York mostly because everything I do in my business is grounded in sustainability. That means that I don't want to be taking unnecessary plane trips or even taking on money that could be spent to improve the local community elsewhere. Plus, New York has so much to offer!

 

But Molly, I see you also talk about the Alps a lot on social media? Yep, that's right! I grew up in the Austrian Alps, so when I'm not in New York, I'm out in Austria. I typically spend 3 months out of the year there, so you will often see me posting about both. I often book elopements and adventure sessions when I'm based in the Austrian Alps already. If I'm not there, I know a ton of wonderful other vendors to refer you too!

I'll be there every step of the way to help you plan an awesome wedding

day experience!

Kind Words
"Molly is professional, responsive, and up for a good adventure. Once we started working with Molly, we realized we were getting so much more than just an elopement photographer. We got location and weather advice. We got gear and timeline advice. And best of all, a new friend.
