DOCUMENTING GRITTY, ELEGANT, AND ADVENTUROUS ELOPEMENTS
AT ALBANY CITY HALL.
HELPING YOU GET MARRIED AT ALBANY CITY HALL
At Outdoor Chronicles, my heart is usually found where the cell service fades. But there is a specific kind of magic found in the heart of the city—the historic echoes of Albany's gorgeous architecture and the relentless, iconic energy of Manhattan. An elopement isn't defined by the altitude of the location, but by the magnitude of the moment. Whether we are scaling a peak or navigating the steps of City Hall, I bring the same adventurous eye, documenting your day with the raw, cinematic storytelling your legacy deserves.

More than a ceremony.
The Albany Classic
Picture a slow morning in a sun-drenched brownstone. The air is crisp and you take a walk to your favorite local bakery for a pre-wedding pastry, hand-in-hand. You get ready together in a room filled with old-world charm before heading to the steps of Albany's City Hall.
You feel a mix of excitement and nerves as you prepare to marry your best friend.
After your ceremony, we explore the grand architecture of the State Capitol- it's soaring arches and staircases providing an epic backdrop. Your celebration continues with a private dinner at a farm-to-table bistro, celebrating the start of your marriage in the city where it all began.
This is what your wedding day could look like.

The Iconic NYC Elopement Experience
Imagine waking up to the sun hitting the skyscrapers through the floor-to-ceiling windows of a boutique hotel in Tribeca. You spend the morning in plush robes, sipping espresso and sharing a quiet breakfast as the city hums to life thirty stories below. There’s no rush—just the two of you getting ready side-by-side.
The nerves are kicking in as you walk through the historic doors of City Hall and check in. You are SO EXCITED!
After the ‘I do’s,’ you celebrate with a kiss, but the day isn't over! We wander through Central Park on the way to the Met, and get lost in the galleries. After an afternoon pastry break, we head downtown to walk the Brooklyn Bridge at golden hour, the wind in your hair and the skyline at your back, before tucking into a corner booth at a dimly lit bar to toast to you being married.
This is what your wedding day could look like.

Me (Your Quiet Guide) An elopement photographer who believes that the most powerful stories are often told in the quietest moments. My background is in the vastness of the backcountry, and I bring that same love for stillness and "the long view" to the city. I’m here to help you carve out a private world amidst the bustle—finding the soft light in Albany’s historic corners or the hidden, peaceful pockets of NYC. While my own dogs are usually tucked away at home for these city days, I bring that same warmth and steady presence to ensure your day feels grounded and easeful. My heart is for the person who wants to enjoy the experience; I bring the same intentionality and eye for grand landscapes to the the city streets of Albany and NYC, always encouraging you to soak in the moment.
You (The Intentional Pair) A couple who values the "slow soak" of a wedding day. You might be a little shy in front of the lens, preferring meaningful connection over a grand performance. You aren't looking for a chaotic city hustle; you want to take your time, wandering through the architecture, sharing a private joke on a park bench, and focusing on the beauty of "making it official" without the noise. You want to embrace the city as your own private gallery—a place to linger, explore, and simply be together.
"I recommend Molly to anyone looking for an experience tailored to them. Molly has got your back and will deliver phenomenal results."

Experience a wedding day that is fun, meaningful, and enjoyable.
No stress. No drama. No pressure.
A note on our City Hall Pricing
You will notice our City Hall packages are priced differently than our signature Wilderness Elopements. While the passion and the "Outdoor Chronicles" signature edit remain the same, the logistics of the city allow for a more streamlined approach.
Our Adventure Elopements involve extensive backcountry scouting, preparation, specialized gear, permit management, and multi-day travel logistics through rugged terrain.
Our City Hall Chronicles are designed to be beautiful, efficient, and accessible—focusing on the vibrant energy of the city without the operational demands of the trail.
Pricing for City Hall elopements begins at $1,450 for Associate Packages and $2,200 for Standard Packages.

So, whether you start at City Hall and stay local, or adventure a bit further out for some photos in nature- we've got you covered.
Let us provide the support to make your elopement day relaxed and beautiful. No stress. Just fun.
