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.

I am seriously obsessed with Maria’s Downtown Annapolis maternity photos! This gorgeous mama rocked all of my gowns while managing to not look cold despite it being 35 degrees outside. Maria’s husband Alecks was so sweet, constantly complimenting her and telling her how beautiful show looked. These two are expecting a little boy in March […]

Bluebird Manor Wedding I have been looking forward to Bailey & Brady’s Bluebird Manor wedding for months! Bluebird Manor is a gorgeous Frederick MD wedding venue, and it was only fitting that Bailey and Brady’s wedding was one of the very first celebrations held there — especially since Bailey’s mom, Carol, is the owner of […]

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 […]

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 […]
