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.

Ceresville Mansion Wedding Photos

Weddings

Ray and Cristina’s Ceresville Mansion wedding wedding was literally out of a Christmas fairy tale. With the roaring fireplace, glittering snowflakes, Mr. & Mrs. stockings, Christmas music, and adorable centerpieces featuring buffalo plaid, burlap, reindeer, nutcrackers, and cookie jars, they truly captured the Christmas spirit. When I first walked into their Ceresville Mansion reception I […]

Rockwood Manor Wedding

Weddings

I couldn’t have picked a better wedding to end the 2019 season. It was such a special blessing getting to photograph Rachael & Jeff’s Rockwood Manor wedding. Rachael and her brother Zach lived down the street from me growing up, and I always viewed them as honorary little siblings. (As if I didn’t have enough!) […]

Richland Golf Club Wedding Photos

Weddings

Kelsey & Logan’s wedding was a beautiful testament to the fact that marriage is more than just the union of two people, but also the union of two families. I had the privilege of meeting the Carpenters five years ago when they hired me to photograph their daughter, Lindsey’s wedding, and then we realized that […]

Harpers Ferry Engagement Photos

I so enjoyed getting to meet Amanda, Ryan, and their sweet dog Capitol during their gorgeous Harpers Ferry engagement shoot. The sun was shining but the air was pretty dang cold, yet Amanda still rocked a summer dress and looked absolutely stunning in it. (Don’t worry, we threw a coat on her every time we […]

Mountain Branch Golf Club Wedding

Weddings

High school sweethearts, John and Abby met when they were sixteen years old and have been together ever since. Abby’s favorite favorite place on earth is Disney World, so John thought up the perfect proposal and surprised Abby by getting down on on one knee during the night time fireworks show in front of Cinderella’s […]

Jen & Vinod’s Sugarloaf Engagement Shoot

engagements

Jen and Vinod are just the absolute sweetest of couples. They compliment each other so well, were so warm and welcoming to me, one of the most polite couples I’ve ever met, and despite their nerves were willing to completely trust themselves in my hands. For their engagement shoot, I met up with them at […]

Cylburn Arboretum Engagement Photos

engagements

Oh man, I am so excited to bring you this engagement shoot. There are some couples who are so totally and completely in love that they can’t help but constantly be cuddling, kissing, and wrapping up in each other’s arms. Which can perhaps be a bit annoying when you’re the friend who is always having […]

Gettysburg Battlefield Bed and Breakfast Wedding

Weddings

Leslie and Andrew first met when they attended boarding school together years ago! They reconnected first at a reunion and then again years later, and I guess three time’s really the charm because it was after that third meeting that they realized there was something between them. All of my couples have their own unique […]

Maryland Wedding Photographer | Bailey & Steve

Weddings

Bailey & Steve’s wedding was truly special. Brent and I have photographed a lot of weddings in our time, and we kept saying how perfect their wedding was last Saturday. The weather was gorgeous, the decorations were stunning, the timeline was relaxed and ran perfectly (largely thanks to their awesome planner, Gary) and the setting […]

Downtown Gettysburg Battlefield Engagement Shoot | Gettysburg Wedding Photographer

Leslie and Andrew actually went to boarding school together and then ended up getting back in touch a few years ago! How cute is that? These two live in Gettysburg and recently purchased the James Gettys Hotel which they’re in the process of renovating WHILE planning a wedding. I do not envy them haha. It […]
