About

Welcome bride-to-be! I’m Mary Sarah, a Jesus follower with a serious case of travel lust and a passion for making a difference in this world. I've seen every episode of "This is Us" and "Parks and Rec," love a good wine tasting (preferably paired with cheese or dark chocolate!) and am always down for an adventure. I am a wedding photographer serving Frederick MD, Northern Virginia, and the greater DMV but I'm also always up for a destination wedding!

I was blessed with a fairy tale soulmate named Brent, who swept me off my feet in high school and married me 7 years later. He's an incredible photographer and we love working together to document love at it's most memorable. We have two littles; Savannah who is three and Carson who is one, and love the crazy adventure that is life!

I think it is the romantic in me that draws me to wedding photography. With every wedding I attend, I find myself captivated by the small moments that often go unseen by most guests. I love catching a glimpse of a father’s tear as he walks his daughter up the aisle, the way the groom protectively places his hand on the small of his new bride’s back, and the embrace exchanged between mother and son as she accepts that she is no longer “the woman” in her son’s life. When I capture these moments on film, it takes a fleeting memory and transforms it into immortality. As your photographer, I will not be photographing an event but rather capturing the beauty that is only found in your unique love story. I will do so in a way that is authentic, timeless, and vibrant yet still intimate and unobtrusive so that I can provide you with timeless works of art that will be your first family heirloom as husband and wife!

We offer a luxury wedding experience and specialize in preserving your memories through heirloom works of art. Our collections begin at $4,000 and every package includes the digital, edited files, a minimum of six hours of photography, and most importantly, a beautiful, handcrafted wedding album to tell the story of your wedding day and serve as your first family heirloom! I feel passionately about providing all of my couples with a full-service, luxury experience, and want to make sure you leave having a gorgeous, tangible product in your hands :) I also am passionate about giving back, and feel that no matter what we do we are called to make a difference in this world. That's why I donate 5% of every wedding collection to one of four different charities and I let my couples choose which one I donate too!

“We love because He first loved us.” 1 John 4:19

The Absolute Best

- [ ] Mary Sarah was an absolute dream to work with from our very first interaction. She is very well-organized, insightful, experienced, and thorough in all that she does - from the communication before we ever met, to the detailed information she provided at our initial consultation, to the wedding day itself. We received a beautiful, surprise gift in the mail just prior to our engagement shoot. That was one of the many small touches that set her above and beyond the rest for us. Mary Sarah created a detailed wedding timeline for us that even our day-of coordinator found to be so helpful and precise. I didn’t feel any stress whatsoever on our wedding day, because I knew there was a plan for every photo that we wanted and I just had to follow her lead! She was wonderful at combining the few poses and photos that I knew that I wanted with her own expertise to provide us with the most stunning album of photos. She and her assistant/second shooter on our wedding day, Mallory, even helped with things that were not their responsibility, such as affixing charms to my bouquet and helping to get boutonnières pinned. She captured all of the portraits that we wanted as well as all of our decor that I would never have seen otherwise (we got so busy trying to visit with everyone that I never made my way through our whole venue to see everything in person!). I could go on and on! Finally, it must be mentioned that Mary Sarah is not only a brilliant photographer, but also one of the sweetest souls you’ll ever meet. I cannot imagine our wedding day without her experience and calming presence. We will treasure our beautiful wedding photos forever.

Mary Sarah is the BEST!

Mary Sarah is simply the best! Working with her made such a big part of our wedding + wedding planning so easy. From the moment that we submitted an interest form, she was responsive, kind, and you could tell, invested in the couples that she works with. She was also so patient and really worked with us to make sure we got exactly what we wanted. From planning the engagement photo session to the actual wedding, she was incredible to work with, and went along with all of our ideas and thoughts (and transformed them into AMAZING pictures). On the actual day of the wedding, she made sure that things were streamlined, organized, FUN, and made sure to balance capturing plenty of photos while making sure we were able to enjoy all of our wedding. I can't say enough good things about Mary Sarah + her photos!

Mary sarah is awesome!

I knew I wanted Mary Sarah to capture my wedding before I was even engaged. Let me explain. One day during work, my coworker came to desk to show me photos from a family friends wedding, and believe me when I say they were BEAUTIFUL. The first thing out of my mouth was “who photographed the wedding?” So, I got Mary Sarah’s name, followed her on Instagram, and wrote it down in my notes because like most women, we plan our weddings before we’re engaged.

Not too long after, I got engaged and knew exactly who to go to. Mary Sarah was responsive, informative, and transparent regarding her packages and the full value of what you’re getting. She really takes the time to understand your vision and make it reality through beautiful and timeless photos that will last a lifetime. She is very kind, genuine, organized, and extremely talented and I couldn’t be more happy that she was a part of our wedding. We will cherish these photos forever.
