"My goal is to make meaningful connections with each and every one of my couples, so that on the day of the wedding, I know what Iām shooting for."
HI, I'M MO.
I like to say I'm the best third wheel youāll ever have. Together weāre gonna laugh, tell a few bad jokes, and have a great time making memories that matter.
MY STORY
My full name is Moriah Hounsell, but growing up my friends called me āMoā or āMoHoā for short.
When I started my business, I was told to make sure it was named after me, but 'Moriah Hounsell Photography' never felt right ā it sounded fancy and elegant. Truthfully, being formal and exceedingly posh just isn't me! So I went back to my roots with my childhood nickname, and it feels like home.
MY WORK
My work brings out my goofy sideāand thatās an important part of the process. My goal is not only to capture your reactions to my antics, but to inspire and create joy in everything I do. In the immortal words of Ben & Jerry, āIf itās not fun, why do it?ā
WHAT IāM SHOOTING FOR
01
A few weeks after the wedding, when I deliver the final images and take your breath away with the level of detail I captured.
02
Your one-year anniversary, when youāll be flipping through your elopement photos and transported back to that amazing day like it was just yesterday.
03
Your future generations, who will look at the wedding photos youāve framed and hung on the wallāand see who you were then and who youāve become today.
FUN FACTS ABOUT ME
I love to travel, but coming home to Vermont fuels my soul. Thereās something about these mountains, I swear theyāre magic.
Youāll never hear the end of how much I love my highly anxious, wild, and snuggly rescue dog Zoey.
Iām obsessed with cheese, despite the fact Iām lactose intolerant. My love of cheese is so well known, that for my 30th birthday my friends made me a cheese cake from hunks of cheddar. It was glorious.
I got my degree in Anthropology because my curiosity about how people work is so ingrained. My camera has become my passport into the lives of people I might not have met otherwise, and I love every minute of it.
The Best 3rd Wheel Youāll Ever Have.
Weāre gonna laugh, tell really bad jokes that will make you cringe, and have a great time making memories that matter.
Sound good?
