9 Reviews for Molly Lichten
Being from the D.C. area, we wanted a beach scene for our engagement shoot. Fortunately Molly works bi-coastal in the District and in L.A., so we definitely took her up on the idea to fly out to SoCal to have our shoot, and it was as perfect as you could envision a beach shoot to be. Molly was so proactive in nailing our scene and vision down that she even researched the potential weather and sunset time of the day of our shoot to bring out the best of our images months in advance for us (and her times were right too!). Molly was incredibly hands-on when it came our wedding. She met with us during our walkthrough to really understand our venue space and get some photography ideas flowing before the big day, and also making our venue owners big Molly fans along the way too. When it came to the planning process for our wedding, she not only sat with us as we kept revising, but gave great input and suggestions to help maximize our time and capture every shot we wanted no matter how high or low of a priority the shot was. When it came to our vendors, the photographer was our number one priority. We've heard horror stories from our friends and colleagues on how much they didn't love their wedding photos or their photographer ended up having a completely different vision than theirs based on the final results. I even had one colleague's photographer's SD card corrupt and all of her wedding photos were lost for good. Molly gave us peace of mind and ensured us that she takes all precautions for this to never happen in her experiences. Molly showed that being a wedding photographer is more than just picking up a camera and grabbing photos through a fancy lens. The way she captures her images not only brings out the best in her skills, but brings out the best and most genuine emotions from her couples. 10/10 would book again if we ever have any reason to — whether it be a future maternity shoot or any other life celebration — any reason to bring Molly back into our lives again, we would!
