Derek & Molly

Chautauqua Institution


Talk about a couple and a wedding after my own heart. Derek and Molly's All-American summer wedding took place at the historic Chautauqua Institution. Toile details, a 2-in-1 wedding dress, adorable doggy moments, a hint of Dolce Vita, miss-match bridesmaids dresses, and a gorgeous blue palette set this wedding apart!


You could not have asked for a more seamless or beautiful wedding day. Memorial Day Weekend in WNY is always a tossup; you never know what you're going to get. Thankfully for Derek and Molly, we had the most beautiful Memorial Day Weekend I can remember in years!


From sweet moments with Derek and Molly's dog Otis, to quirky family traditions, to the cutest flower girl, to romantic sunset portraits, this wedding is unique, fresh, and unapologetically made it's own path.
