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.

Bluebird Manor Wedding

Weddings

I have been looking forward to Bailey & Brady’s Bluebird Manor wedding for months! Bluebird Manor is a gorgeous, brand new Frederick MD wedding venue and it’s only fitting that Bailey and Brady’s wedding was one of their first since Bailey’s mom, Carol, is the owner of Bluebird Manor! It’s been so fun seeing all […]

Ellen & Marco’s Milton Ridge Wedding

Weddings

My heart sunk when I received Ellen’s text that they were going to have to postpone their wedding indefinitely. Ellen and Marco were supposed to get married back in July, but Marco lives in Honduras and due to strict Covid travel restrictions Marco literally was unable to make it to his own wedding. In the […]

Springfield Manor Wedding

Weddings

Jenn & Bobby couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day for their Springfield Manor wedding. Earlier in the week the weather had been predicting torrential thunderstorms, but instead we had nothing but blue skies and beautiful light. From a sweet first look, to an adorable ring bearer pup, to a super fun and energetic […]

Emma & Ian’s DC engagement shoot was epic, and not just because I had a gorgeous, fun couple to photograph! I’ve taken DC engagement photos before and it’s always hard to fit in a number of locations because everything is so far apart. Thankfully, Emma’s parents, Lynn & Dan, (who happen to be good friends […]

It began with Frankie’s wintry Downtown Frederick proposal where I was able to capture all of the joy and excitement of that once-in-a-lifetime moment. Then I was there beside them documenting their engagement and […]

Jennifer and Bobby met at a college Christmas party hosted by a mutual friend.  Bobby pursued her, but after a bout with the flu and a lackluster first date looking at Christmas lights, Jennifer nearly moved on.   Thankfully, Bobby convinced Jennifer to visit him for his New Years Eve party, where they really hit it […]

An Intimate Elopement | Maryland Wedding Photographer

There are some couples you just click with, and Janelle and Brandon are definitely one of those couples. When we first met up together for happy hour, what was supposed to be an hour turned into two because we were just having so much fun. It’s literally impossible to have a conversation with them without […]

Ally’s Senior Pictures Frederick MD

Seniors

I can’t believe it’s already been almost 8 months since I photographed Ally’s Carroll Creek Downtown Frederick senior pictures! A lot has happened since then, and as a result Ally finally had time to pick out her favorites now that the craziness of online school is over. I love the images she chose and wanted […]

Three months ago, Kayla reached out to me and indicated her desire to have maternity pictures taken in Northern VA. Due to the quarantine, she hadn’t been able to share the majority of her pregnancy with her family who live in the south, and she wanted a maternity shoot to commemorate this special time of […]
