Meet CJ Moll

Hi, I'm Cj. I am a wedding photographer based in Missoula MT and I have the best job in the world. I focus on Candid and Creative Storytelling that celebrates your natural beauty. I graduated in 2017 from MSU's School of Film and Photography. Before starting my own business, I worked for various nonprofits and had the privilege to create images all over the world.

In 2019 I began specializing in weddings because I truly believe in the philosophy "do one thing and do it crazy well."

In 2020, I married my amazing wife Delaney, COVID happened, messing up both our wedding and my business. However, there was a silver lining in all of this. We ended up having a more intimate wedding without all the pressure and this gave me an opportunity to reassess everything and build a better business. Since then I have won multiple awards. But as grateful as I am to be able to do what I love and have people notice, that isn't what matters. What matters is creating impactful imagery that clients can cherish for a lifetime.
