Welcome to the blog!

Hi! I'm Mary Sarah

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 […]

Baker Park Maternity Shoot | Frederick Maternity Photography

This Baker Park maternity shoot was a special one. I met Sumble this past year when she and Nathan joined our church home group. At first, Sumble was incredibly shy and barely spoke a word, but over the months she slowly warmed up and has now become a great friend. It was so fun seeing […]

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 […]

Ladies (and gentlemen) be prepared to be in awe of the beautiful mama that is my friend Taylar!

Frederick Maryland Lifestyle Newborn Shoot Mary Sarah Photography

newborns

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 […]

20 Gorgeous Golden Hour Wedding and Engagement Pictures

engagements, Weddings

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 […]
