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.

Frederick MD Photographer | Downtown Frederick Engagement Photos

I’m not sure why it has taken me this long to blog Ellie & Troy’s Downtown Frederick engagement shoot because it was one of my favorites of the season. These two are truly sweet, genuine, and kind people. They both have a passion for missions, a deep love for their family, and are soo excited […]

DC Engagement Photos | DC Engagement Photographer

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 […]

Annapolis Engagement Photos

engagements

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 […]

Beautiful Fall DC Engagement Photos

engagements

I’m kicking myself for not blogging these beautiful DC engagement photos sooner! In the chaos of fall wedding season, I occasionally get behind in blogging and just realized today that I never shared Travis and Lauren’s stunning Lincoln Memorial engagement shoot with you. The plan had been to meet at the Jefferson Memorial and spend […]

Loudoun County Wedding Photographer | Fall Country Engagement Photos

engagements

I hope everyone is staying safe, healthy, and sane! These past few days have been crazy and I’m so sad I will have to pause doing photo shoots until non-essential businesses are allowed to resume – especially with all the gorgeous spring blooms we’re experiencing right now! Still, I’m thankful that right now we’re healthy, […]

Harpers Ferry Engagement Photos

engagements

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
