Hi, I’m Mary Sarah — a Maryland wedding photographer drawn to estate venues, golden hour light, and celebrations that feel deeply personal. I document timeless, emotion-filled weddings in Frederick, Maryland and throughout the DMV, creating images that feel natural, romantic, and true to each couple. I’m a wife, mama, and Jesus follower who loves dark chocolate and meaningful conversation — and I believe wedding days should feel joyful, calm, and beautifully lived-in. I’m so glad you’re here.
Sarah & Ben literally could not have had a more perfect day for their beautiful Dulany’s Overlook wedding! Sarah describes their love as a genuine, enlightening, supportive love that they didn’t want to rush, but weren’t afraid to push because they knew they would better overcome any obstacles as a couple. And from the moment […]

Kelsey and Logan’s love story is the definition of fate. Kelsey was working late from her car in the area where Logan was the resident courtesy police officer. When Logan responded to a call for an “unfamiliar/suspicious vehicle,” little did he know that in that “suspicious vehicle” would be his future wife! Kelsey rolled down […]

Love knows no age limits, no boundaries, and no pre-conceived notions. A coworker introduced Lewis to Debbie back in 2002, and according to Lewis he’s been ready to get married for a decade! Debbie on the other hand wasn’t so sure she ever wanted to get married again. Lewis remained loyal and faithful through fourteen […]

I couldn’t have asked for a more gorgeous day for Meghan’s maternity shoot at Linganore Winecellars! Meghan and Ryan are expecting their third, a little girl, and her two big sisters are sooo excited to meet her 🙂 This was my first time photographing the gowns Meghan chose (other than a quick beach self portrait […]

Ladies (and gentlemen) be prepared to be in awe of the beautiful mama that is my friend Taylar! At 32 weeks and pregnant with twins no less, Taylar absolutely rocked her Frederick Maryland maternity shoot. She looked gorgeous in all of the gowns she chose from my maternity closet, but I think she particularly shone […]

You guys, I am being 100% honest when I say this Stone Tower Winery wedding styled shoot was one of the most gorgeous shoots I’ve had the opportunity to photograph. I’ve never done just a bridal styled shoot before, but man was it fun. Jessica was a gorgeous bride and the incredible wedding vendors I […]

There’s nothing comparable to the joy and awe you feel when your little one enters the world. Suddenly there seems to be nothing more exciting than just staring at their little nose, playing with their fingers and toes, and listening to the sweet little noises they make when they sleep. Time seems to pass by […]

It’s no secret that I absolutely LOVE photographing around golden hour. Sometimes referred to as ‘magic hour’, golden hour is the period of time right before sunset when the light is warm, diffused, and just plain gorgeous. Realistically, the window of opportunity is more like 20 minutes or even less depending on the landscape and […]

It’s hard to believe, but it’s already time for the class of 2020 to start thinking about scheduling their senior shoots! I’m gearing up for senior portraits season over here and figured it was high time I blog a few of my favorite senior picture shoots from this past year. First up is Jenna’s beautiful […]
