MALORIE DEPERNA

Colorful imaginative wedding photography in Rochester, NY for couples who want vibes, not Vogue

YOU'RE GETTING MARRIED—lets MAKE IT ICONIC   

BOLD, EMOTIONAL,
AND (a little) CHAOTIC

You want wedding photos that are ...

You’re not planning a cookie-cutter day, so why settle for cookie-cutter photos? You’ve got a vision—equal parts party, poetry, and “holy sh*t, that’s us” moments—and you need someone who gets it. Someone who can handle the chaos, calm the nerves, and catch the in-between magic you didn’t even realize was happening.

Too many couples end up with galleries that look polished but feel empty. I’m here to make sure yours is the opposite; photos that give you all the feels, make you laugh-cry, and remind you exactly what it was like to be there.

But you keep scrolling through websites that are giving more “stand here and smile” than champagne-soaked dance floor. 

“MALLY CAPTURED EVERY MOMENT you WOULD HOPE a PHOTOGRAPHER WOULD CATCH." 

Mally was very sweet and accommodating; She cared.. I know that doesn't seem like a review, but it means a lot in a vendor. She offered ideas and was creative while helping me pinpoint my vision. She was constantly answering my late night texts and millions of questions on locations. 

— Tess and Sam

STORY-DRIVEN WEDDING PHOTOS for UNAPOLOGETICALLY UNIQUE COUPLES

Forget what anyone says your wedding “should” look like. Whether it’s a packed dance floor that goes way past midnight, an intimate dinner with your favorite people, or something totally off-script, the only thing that matters is that it feels right to you. 

My job is to make sure every part of that choice—the people, the details, the energy—gets documented in a way that feels effortless in the moment and looks damn good forever. Your wedding, your rules, your story.
