and we have been together since we were 18 years old. over 10 years later, we have a small family of us and our rescue dog, ziggy. we are obsessed with all things vintage, which led us to create a wedding company unlike others that we had seen. we are believers, and strive to keep Jesus’ kindness and love at the forefront of our lives. we truly care about people, and deeply desire to be the best versions of ourselves with every couple we film. we’re not the type of wedding vendors that you hire and then never hear from again— we’re the type of vendors that are going to want to keep up with your lives forever and wish you happy birthdays, anniversarys, etc. we’re both extremely sentimental people, and care deeply about each couple that we are able to capture. we want to form a genuine relationship with each of our couples, especially so that we can know how to give them a product that they will truly cherish.

a few fun facts about us:

our favorite place on earth and our go-to weekend getaway is joshua tree national park

on saturdays, you can either find us at a local brewery or browsing an antique mall

we fell in love in october, which makes us huge fall/halloween people

grant would be happy watching sports all day, while mallory is content curling up reading a book

we have a ‘music listening room’ where we love listening to our record collection

our favorite shows are big brother, schitts creek, and gilmore girls

mallory is an unashamed betty boop enthusiast and collector

mountains > beach

we’re truly best friends and could spend every waking second together (and pretty much do)

we lived in salt lake city in 2023 for a change of pace, but eventually settled back in memphis

one of our favorite things to do is to walk/run along the mississippi river

we love love, and we love capturing it!

addition info on both of us below. <3

my name is mallory, and i am the visionary behind MFW. i am a highly creative person and a deep thinker/feeler (type 4/INFJ), always striving for authenticity within myself and capturing it for others. i’m a sentimental person— i’m the one that always has her film camera out taking candid pictures of her friends to put in a shared album later. i’m sensitive, deeply affected by the world and all that’s in it. my wildest dreams include living in the desert in joshua tree without any electronics, starting my own nonprofit dog rescue, and helping young women heal their negative body image.

i’ve been an old soul my entire life, always appreciating all things vintage and old-fashioned. i love old films, thrifting vintage clothes, and mid century modern homes. i’m more of the introvert of our duo, but most times at a wedding you will find me hyping up my bride. i capture each couple’s wedding day as i would want someone to capture mine— focusing on the teeny tiny moments that others wouldn’t think twice about. some of my potluck passions are lana del rey, poetry, dismantling society’s objectification of women, and pasta alla vodka. oh and my fun fact is that i’ve never had a headache! also i would be remiss if i did not mention the fact that i am forever changed by alexis’ rose character and mannerisms and unfortunately now unironically talk like her and use my hands like her. love that for youuu!

i dreamed up this little company a few years back and it has been the best job i could have ever imagined. i get to capture people’s happiest days in a way that is both genuine and rewarding every single time, and often times i get to travel with my best friend while doing it. i feel so grateful for my husband, our friends we have made along the way (that’s you!), and the direction we are heading. thank you Jesus!

grant

the other half of MFW— the best coworker and husband in the whole world, grant. if you’ve met him, you’ve likely spent the entire time either smiling or laughing so hard your cheeks hurt. grant has the uncanny ability to make everyone he meets feel like a long lost best friend, and simultaneously make them feel like the most important person in the world. grant exudes joy more than anyone i’ve ever met, and is kind to absolutely everyone he comes across.

grant is also sensitive— deeply moved by emotions and feelings. he isn’t afraid to say how he feels, or to be embarrassed of his emotions. he truly feels the most joy when he knows that those around him are happy, and he will be your number one hype man on your wedding day. he’s also absolutely hysterical but doesn’t think he is, which makes it even better. his dad jokes are top tier, and he will probably make an appearance on the dance floor if you’ll let him! play salt shaker and we’re both out there.

grant is happiest either hiking in a national park, cuddling with our dog, or spending time with friends. his extroverted nature makes it so that he could talk to a brick wall, and he makes everyone around him instantly feel comfortable. his favorite show of all time is stranger things, and his fun fact is that he’s never had a soda! i know. i don’t know why, either.

grant is one is the kindest and most loving people in the entire world, and if you’ve met him, you’ve likely felt that the instant you were introduced. MFW wouldn’t be possible without him, and i’m so grateful he joined me in this beautiful adventure.
