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.

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Dulanys Overlook Wedding Pictures | Frederick MD Wedding Photographer

Weddings

Sarah & Ben literally could not have had a more perfect day for their beautiful Dulany’s Overlook wedding! Sarah describes their love as a genuine, enlightening, supportive love that they didn’t want to rush, but weren’t afraid to push because they knew they would better overcome any obstacles as a couple. And from the moment […]

Morningside Inn Pictures | Frederick MD Wedding Photographer

Weddings

Love knows no age limits, no boundaries, and no pre-conceived notions. A coworker introduced Lewis to Debbie back in 2002, and according to Lewis he’s been ready to get married for a decade! Debbie on the other hand wasn’t so sure she ever wanted to get married again. Lewis remained loyal and faithful through fourteen […]

Stone Tower Winery Wedding Styled Shoot | Leesburg VA Wedding Photographer

Weddings

You guys, I am being 100% honest when I say this Stone Tower Winery wedding styled shoot was one of the most gorgeous shoots I’ve had the opportunity to photograph. I’ve never done just a bridal styled shoot before, but man was it fun. Jessica was a gorgeous bride and the incredible wedding vendors I […]

20 Gorgeous Golden Hour Wedding and Engagement Pictures

engagements, Weddings

It’s no secret that I absolutely LOVE photographing around golden hour. Sometimes referred to as ‘magic hour’, golden hour is the period of time right before sunset when the light is warm, diffused, and just plain gorgeous.  Realistically, the window of opportunity is more like 20 minutes or even less depending on the landscape and […]
