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.

Ben and Sarah met back in 2015 through the Bumble app and quickly discovered a shared love for traveling, spending time outdoors and on the water, and hanging out with friends and family. Since 2015, they have traveled to Vegas, Florida, Canada, Jamaica, and the Dominican Republic where Ben happened to pop the question on […]

Bailey and Steve couldn’t have asked for a prettier day for their Sugarloaf Mountain Engagement Shoot. After two months of almost straight rain, I was starting to wonder if I’d ever photograph outdoors again!
