Welcome to the blog!

Hi! I'm Mary Sarah

 I'm a Jesus follower, mac 'n cheese lover, and travel enthusiast. I specialize in wedding, high school senior, and lifestyle photography in the Frederick, MD area but am always down to travel. I'm a mama to two, married to my high school sweetheart, and am passionate about authentically telling love stories through photography and eating as much dark chocolate as I can. Stick around awhile to view the latest love stories I've had the privilege of capturing.

Paris Engagement Shoot {Destination Wedding Photographer}

engagements

This summer I had the incredible opportunity to travel to Paris for a five day photography workshop with renowned photographer Scott Robert Lim.  I had never done anything like this and found myself both excited and incredibly nervous as the course crept up.  As soon as I stepped into the apartment where we met every morning […]

Downtown Frederick Engagement Shoot – David & Jessica

engagements

I’m starting to think that mother nature holds a grudge against some of my couples. On multiple occasions I’ve rescheduled an engagement shoot due to weather only to find their reschedule date also has bad weather! (Particularly poor Kelsey & Tyler who rescheduled four times and still had rain (and a rainbow!) on their engagement shoot!)  Jessica and David have […]

Piney Run Park Engagement Shoot – Kyle & Heather

engagements

Engagement shoots are so fun because they give us time to get to know our couple better and showcase their interests and personalities.  Heather and Kyle are both dog lovers and as such wanted to incorporate their family of four puppies into their engagement shoot. We met at their home to get pictures in their back […]

Wedding Sykesville MD – Kurt & Abby

Weddings

Brent and I met Abby at the Carroll County Bridal Show this past March and within a couple minutes Brent and Abby were connecting over their shared love for cars and glocks. It’s rare that Brent has more in common with my brides than I do, but the three of us quickly hit it off and […]

Baker Park Engagement Shoot – Matt & Sarah {Frederick MD Wedding Photographer}

engagements

Matt & Sarah are the epitome of cuteness, and once you see these pictures I think you’ll agree 😉  I don’t think I’ve had a couple that laughs together more easily or seems more comfortable with each other.  Matt and I have actually known each other for years as his family are members of our […]

I’m so excited to bring you Rebecca and Gunnar’s East Lynn Farm Wedding!  I happen to be the oldest of seven (six girls and one boy) and Rebecca is number four in the line-up. Rebecca has a very dynamic personality and is by far the most social and outgoing of us girls.  Anyone who has […]

Ostertag Vistas Wedding Frankie & Kendra

Weddings

Frankie and Kendra are a couple whose love for each other shows in every aspect of their lives. Whenever they are together they are constantly laughing, hugging, stealing glances at each other, and just being all around adorable. When they’re apart, just mention the name of their significant other and their eyes light up. I have […]

Holly Hills Country Club Wedding {Frederick MD Wedding Photographer}

Weddings

With the months of planning and preparation that go into a wedding, the big day can often be stressful.  I have to say that Justin and Amelia were the most relaxed bride and groom I have ever worked with!  Their Holly Hills Country Club wedding was perfect, right down to the last detail, and the […]

Links at Gettysburg Wedding : Andrea & Davin

Weddings

I feel so blessed by all the amazing couples we have had the opportunity to work with this summer and for our final wedding of the summer, I couldn’t have enjoyed working with Andrea & Davin more.  I also felt blessed that Andrea & Davin’s Links at Gettysburg wedding was a balmy 75 degrees – […]

PB Dye Wedding Ryan & Crystal

Weddings

Crystal is one of the sweetest people I have ever met. She exudes kindness, is incredibly thoughtful, and has been an absolute joy to work with and get to know better over the past year and a half. I’m so happy that she has found Ryan because it is obvious that the two just get […]
