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.
