Pandemic Date Nights

Hi, I'm Mally, a wedding photographer and your biggest fan based in Rochester, NY. 

We’re all practicing the importance of social distancing right now because of the impact of the coronavirus outbreak. I’m sure most of us are a bit tired of Netflix and chilling and would like some more ways to spice up our quarantine date night life. Here are a few ideas to help make the most of your time inside with your special someone.

My PERSONAL favorite: KARAOKE TIME! Belt out your favorite karaoke tunes (mine is any song by Joan Jett) with your partner. This is a for sure way to get you guys in a good mood.

Cook together: Get instacart to drop off your favorite pizza ingredients and spend the evening cooking in the kitchen.

Play a board game: Take a break from the screens and bust out your favorite board game. If you want to stay together during this, I probably wouldn’t suggest Monopoly.

A backyard picnic: When you’re cooped up inside all the time, there’s nothing like fresh air. Spend some time in the kitchen together then move that meal outside.


Start a puzzle: I’m sure there will be a piece missing, but at least you can try and find it together.

Bake cookies: I don’t know about you, but I have a mega sweet tooth and I’m ALL for this one. Snickerdoodles are my JAM!

Hey, I’m Mally—

your ticket to wedding photos that actually feel like you.

I’ve spent years perfecting the balance between giving direction and letting things unfold naturally, so your portraits look effortless, your candids feel cinematic, and your gallery is unmistakably your wedding—not just another photoshoot.

I take the time to understand your style, your people, and your priorities so every image reflects the energy and personality that makes your day yours. The result? A wedding gallery that feels alive, unfiltered, and impossible to confuse with anyone else’s.
