Mollan Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Harrison Township, MI

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. I feed off the energy from couple's and their guests and craft a story of their day through photos. On a personal note, I have a loving wife, 3 kids and 2 dogs!

Matt is by far one of the best single shooter photographers I have ever met. He is everywhere he needs to be to get all of the amazing shots you want. He is so easy going and professional! You will love every single picture he takes and it will be hard to pick what ones you will want in your wedding album, and on your walls. He gets to know you on a personal level and listens to what you want. He is the best!!

I’m Katy, a Michigan based wedding + event photographer who loves to travel. I’ve been photographing weddings since 2016. My love for photography started out when I was about 6 years old. I’m a huge goofball, so if you’ve ever thought “I’ll be too awkward in photos," I know what you mean. We can be goofballs together, and I promise I won’t let you look awkward in any of your photos. A little more about me: I'm a foodie. Send bar/restaurant recommendations please! I spend a good portion of my time at concerts when I'm not photographing anything. I'm also a HUUUUGE Detroit Red Wings fan!

Katy is AMAZING! Our photos turned incredible and were everything we dreamed of. Not only that, Katy was such a wonderful part of our day. We had a very small wedding and every person that interacted with her or saw her working was obsessed with her. All I heard the following day was how great she was and how fun she made the day. I wish I could get married again to have her so my pictures again!

I have been studying photography since I was a child. I’ve been working professionally since the beginning of 2002. Prior to this I conducted multiple amateur photo shoots, thoroughly studied the technology and art of photo theory, diligently studied the techniques of the most famous and accomplished wedding photographers in Europe, as well as attended multiple master classes offered by recognized American masters in photography. I have also been named one of the best wedding photographers in Macomb County and the city of Warren.

Arther worked on a wedding my team video'd, and he was great to work with! He worked well with our team throughout the day, and I know he got some beautiful shots for the couple.

Hello! My name is Tonya. First and foremost, I am a mom to a beautiful little boy (who, let's face it, is completely tired of mom's camera!). I started behind a camera almost fifteen years ago when my grandpa first showed me how to use his. I live for the click of the shutter, capturing those moments that will be gone but never forgotten. Having been a previous cast member at Walt Disney World (and other theme parks), I found that I love the organized chaos that comes with photographing a wedding. Not to mention, who doesn't adore capturing the love between two people?

Awarded Best of Zola
When we first got engaged and we found tonya i expressed how worried i was that we had never done photos before and had no clue what we really wanted but i knew i didnt want them to look posed i wanted our emotions to show through. She was very understanding and helpful she sent me some pictures shed done before and then i went pintrest crazy :). Then i found out i was pregnant and we decided to postpone our wedding she was super understanding and happy for us and stayed in contact with us as we tried to come up with a new date. I absolutely loved working with tonya she did an amazing job on our pictures i swear i fall more in love with them each time i look at them. She also worked well with some of the nerdy pictures we wanted which envolved harry potter and star wars :). I had something i wanted to change in one of our wedding photos(she was already done editing our photos) for a Christmas gift for my husband and she was all for it and it turned out absolutely perfect. I fully recommend using her for any of your photography needs.

Hello, I’m Rich! With 8 years of experience, my focus is on bringing out the best in my couples. Before capturing weddings, I was a palliative care nurse for several years. In both my career as a nurse and now as a photographer, I have experienced the biggest moments of people’s lives, and it’s an honor to be there for them.

Awarded Best of Zola
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!

  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Harrison Township, MI

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.

We could not be happier that we picked Julia to photograph our wedding! Out pictures turned out absolutely beautiful. She has such a great eye and was so helpful with providing us ideas for places we could take pictures, while also listening to what we wanted. She is also just such a nice and fun person! She has a way of calming you down and making the whole experience so fun which definitely comes through in the pictures. I would 100% recommend her to anyone!

Calling all misfits, those deeply in love, the nerds, the don't give a flying f***, just authentically you! Behind the camera: I am cracking bad jokes & cramming myself into strange spaces to get the shot. Behind the editing screen: I am smiling, getting high off the emotion of the moment captured. No shame, it’s why I do what I do. I love love. But I guess that's why you are here right? My style: Authentic, timeless, classic & filmy nostalgia. I capture those in-between moments, the messy, the loud, the intimate & the joyful ugly cry. Then you can feel like vogue for every other moment to show the world the rockstars that you are.

Sam was a dream come true. She perfectly captured our personalities and love for each other throughout the day. The photos turned out amazing and Sam was a blast to have at our wedding.

Savannah did an AMAZING job. Her hubby was there to help and both were so patient, kind, and professional throughout the entire ceremony and reception. We had multiple calls to go over our wedding timeline and what to expect. She always communicated and responded quickly to any questions or concerns that I had. We had a few changes and she adapted quickly. She also helped ease my nerves on our big day. From our first look, to walking down the aisle, first dance, and family photos. When I look back at my photos I feel all the butterflies again. It was important to capture every detail since we did not do a video photographer. And she did exactly that! She sent us some sneak peaks and we got to share those moments with family and friends and they had nothing but amazing things to say about her as well. If I could to back and do it all again I would choose her again and again!! I can’t recommend her enough!!! Thank you so so much. Can’t wait to work together again.

Erin is nothing short of amazing. She has such a vision and has been an absolute pleasure to work with even during the pandemic (probably the only vendor that was fully supportive and flexible during the difficult process). She was very easy to get a hold of when I had any questions, reliable and keeps you on time (terribly hard to do during your wedding). Not to mention when she is complete editing your photos the way she presents them to you is AMAZING. It's all about the little details with her. If I could give 10 stars I would.f

Choosing Ashley as our wedding photographer was one of the best choices we made throughout the planning process. She is not only down to Earth and real, but she genuinely cares about her clients and wants to deliver the best possible service to them. Slightly after booking her, she hosted a Brides Night In at her house to go over the dos and don’t of day of wedding photography. Her tips were very helpful, and her advice made our day as successful as it was. In addition to capturing your special day of moments, she does so much more. She drafts several day of timelines and sticks to them to a T. It is incredibly important that you’re organized because if so, your day will go perfectly. She did a great job guiding our day, collaborating with our videographer and DJ, and helping us stay calm, collected, and happy throughout the evening. Ashley also knows how to talk to people in a direct but respectful way. She wants your happiness first and foremost and will do whatever is necessary to make sure that you get it. On our day, she guided several people in a respectful manner which made for better pictures while putting them kindly in their place. My husband and I both deeply appreciate this about her. She’s Type A in the best way and wants you to feel satisfied at the end of the day. SO many of our family and friends commented on how fantastic she was as well as professional. She knows what’s she’s doing and cares about her work. I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about her and the work that she does. She’s one of the few photographers that we met with who genuinely cares about not only her work but her clients. You won’t be disappointed by choosing her to capture the special moments of your day.

Hi There! I'm Marci... photographer, parent, and lover of life. You'll find me taking photos, traveling, in the water or preferably doing all three (like my above photo from Australia). I've been a full time photographer since I graduated from U of M and absolutely love what I do. Weddings are my happy place. I get to take photos, I get to travel and sometimes I can even get in the water ;) I'm calm and a bit silly. I take my job seriously, but wedding days are a ton of fun and so I have fun too... being creative, enjoying capturing love stories and snarfing really good food. I think the joy I have for life is reflected throughout my photos.
