If you are looking for a photographer who is the perfect cocktail of professionalism, artistic…read moretalent, and style garnished with the kind of personality that will leave you wishing she could simultaneously be your photographer and guest, your search stops here! Molly came highly recommended to me by a friend who has known Molly's work for years at at a time when I was not even sure I was going to hire a photographer due to budget limitations. Still I thought having a beer with her to get to know her work wouldn't hurt...Before my (now) husband and I had even had our third sip our minds were made up. My husband is shyish and not a huge fan of being photographed but even he was comfortable after witnessing Molly's relaxed demeanor coupled with the conversation that accompanied our viewing her equally natural photographs. Having said that, Molly showed absolute grace under fire while shooting both my rehearsal dinner and wedding with my crazy and chaotic Latin family! She even helped put out fires totally out of her jurisdiction of her own accord with a smile on her face! She doubled as a bridesmaid too on several occasions, making sure I was fed, happy with my makeup etc...She had breakfast with my 10 year old who then thought she was the coolest person to walk the earth. My daughter's opinion was shared by pretty much all in attendance and I have no doubt you'll agree! On a practical note, Molly's follow through and attention to our wishes was immaculate. We easily worked out a package that fit our budget even with our wedding being all the way in Lake Tahoe! She was not offended or put-off by our suggestions or specifications either. On the contrary, she was open-minded and the finished product was totally faithful to our initial requests. Furthermore, she answered our correspondence promptly and even sent us off on our honeymoon with a few tantalizing shots we could share with our eager friends and families! She was hard at work immediately while we were gone meticulously editing the pictures to my heart's content down to every last bag under my eye! At the end of the day Molly captured amazing moments of my guests and family that my husband and I would have totally missed being the bride and groom plus artistic shots of our flowers,decor, food etc that will be ideal accents in what will be a dream wedding book. If all of this doesn't say enough just consider the fact that although I'm still reeling from my wedding and honeymoon with a million things to take care of, I actually put writing this review on my "to-do" list because my experience with Molly is the kind you just want to get out there for others to share!

If I could go out to space and collected all stars and bring them back to give for this review I would but yelp max limit 5 stars only! Hahah anyways the whole experience was overall pleasing and I am very happy so many turn out as favorites.. I had hard time picking and choose I just want them all !!!

I am AMAZED at the beauty Viva captured in me. I have heard nothing but rave reviews about the…read morephotographs she took of me. I had seen many examples of her work, and assumed that because of the quality, the subject were all "models". It was clear when I saw MY photos that Viva really is the IMAGE maker. My photos were amazing, "magazine quality" I've been told. All I did was show up. No experience, a bit anxiety at the idea of a "photo shoot", and a lot of comfort with Viva's warm smile and engaging personality (after having met her a few times in passing). To me, it felt like all we did was chat while she took my pictures, but after seeing the finished product... Viva had made me comfortable enough with HER, for her to really be able to capture ME. It was amazing to see my image in such an artistic yet realistic form. After seeing her work at Nappy or Not (...breathtaking shots of FLY natural coifs created by Rhonda.. another image-maker), and seeing what she produced with 'lil ol' me, it seems that Viva can create and capture ANY image, whether it's the "real you" or your alter ego... or a blend of the two! I also must add that as a Black woman, Viva made me feel so proud at how she celebrates our beauty. Too often, we don't embrace our beautiful range of skin tones and hair textures, or hear that they ARE beautiful. She captures that comfort which we aren't always "allowed" when in front of a camera (or in a number of other places...). THANK YOU Viva!! I can't say enough great things!! Diva by Viva

I was married May 28, 2011 in Tiburon and for some crazy reason it rained, so we had to scramble to have all the photos inside and she did an amazing job finding indoor areas to take pictures. She was always calm and never too pushy. Her pictures turned out really well, and I get compliments on how they look from everyone. The pictures were ready very quickly after my wedding, and she was in constant contact with me keeping me updated on her progress. She went above and beyond for me, and she was my favorite vendor for my wedding. Prints and discs of the photos were included in the incredible price that she gave me. I talked to a lot of photographers for my wedding and she was not only the best deal, but also the easiest to work with.
