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.
