Mollie is the best!

Mollie hands down is the best photographer. She's sweet, easy to work with and it feels like you've known her forever. She is thorough with her initial meeting asking great questions to make sure we were getting the photos we want. She checks in prior to the big day to go over a timeline which is super helpful when you have no idea about making a schedule or where to start. We loved that she took charge and got our families in order to get the big group and individual photos done seamlessly. We highly recommend her for your engagement/wedding photos. The quality of her photos is perfection and you get a great mix of posed and candid.

Beautiful photos, chill process, professional communication

Paper Sun photos did our wedding and engagement pictures in 2023. The results are breathtaking and we are so happy we hired them to help document our special day. Mollie has an eye for the most beautiful moments, framing, and editing to make us relive the emotions of our wedding day every time we look at the pictures.

Perfect photographer for our perfect day

I wanted to work with Paper Sun as soon as I saw the bright colors and abundant joy on their website - and I’m so glad I did. Mollie and her team are warm, friendly people and they bring that out in their subjects (aka us). The photos that we have seen so far (a sneak peek with dozens, just a few days after our wedding!) are more beautiful than we ever imagined.

Book Paper Sun Photo ASAP!

Mollie was wonderful! We are so happy with our engagement and wedding photos. My husband and I aren’t usually comfortable in front of a camera, but Mollie made us feel more at ease. She was also very flexible with all the changes we had to make due to the pandemic. Highly recommend!

the dedication is chef's kiss

I have to include what started as a nightmare scenario to fully explain just how much I love Paper Sun and Mollie and Louise and Chris.

Paper Sun had to reassign the staffing at our wedding twice.

HOWEVER--in the midst of a pandemic and vendors who left us high and dry, Mollie refused to let our wedding down. When they had to restaff the team the first the time, Mollie was professional, honest, empathetic, and kind. When it happened the second time, she floored me with how she was willing to let me walk away and how honest she was that we could find second photographers.

Nope--from the first phone call with Mollie, this was a team that was sold on our wedding day vision. Mollie fell in love with our love story, us as a couple, our wedding venue, etcetera, and held the utmost professionalism when lightning, god forbid, struck twice. I could have been a mess of a stressed out bride but of all the things that were happening in the final days up to the wedding, I knew Mollie had it handled for my husband and I. And she absolutely did. From the flash drive engraved with Paper Sun to the online gallery and the contract suite, every detail is taken care of and absolutely hand crafted with the utmost detail and dedication to her craft. I LOVE Paper Sun and I'm so glad we were referred to them.

Captured Who We Are as a Couple!

My husband and I have never been "picture takers." We weren't even terribly concerned over our photography package or worried about the details when it came to our wedding photos and Paper Sun really made the whole overwhelming photography experience easy, carefree, and coordinated with our personalities and lifestyle! Mollie was so completely relaxed that she gave a true sense of ease and natural-ness to our entire day and evening! We loved working with her and are so pleased with our photos and how they really captured who we are as a couple! Thank you!

Everything I could have asked for

Mollie is all could have wanted in a photographer! She communicated clearly and presented herself with a professional and cheerful demeanor. Her photography is inventive, yet also classic and beautifully captured the essence of the day.

We booked Paper Sun Photography (formerly M&E Photo Studio) for our engagement and wedding photos in KC, and we are so happy we did! The moment I saw the incredible portfolio of work on their website, I knew in my heart that we had to book them for our wedding. Both our engagement and wedding photos turned out amazing and we are so in love with all of the pictures we got back! Their photographers are top notch and have the eye to shoot those intimate details you want captured forever on your big day. Chris was a breeze to work with and was very flexible when it came to scheduling our last minute engagement session. He is very personable and it was great planning with him and going over ideas, and he was very receptive to any needs that we had and was on top of communication. He was also able to work some serious magic with our tight schedule and get all of the photos we wanted! Mollie was also present on our wedding day as a second photographer and her contributions were truly fantastic! Now we have perfectly beautiful memories of our wedding that our family can treasure forever. Thank you for capturing our best day ever!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

I couldn't love working with M&E more!! I am always thrilled to have Mollie and/or Emily Louise on my vendor team. They are perfect professionals, while also contributing to the fun and ease of the day. Their hard work and talent is so evident as their pictures are nothing short of jaw dropping. M&E is a true gem and I am always proud to be in their company. You guys are the best!!! Thank you for sharing your talents and love for wedding with me!
