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.

Springfield Manor Wedding – Meghan & Tanner

Weddings

If there is one thing I’ve learned from shooting weddings, it’s that something unexpected is bound to happen.  When storm clouds started rolling in thirty minutes before the ceremony start time, Tanner and Meghan remained optimistic.  It wasn’t supposed to rain, but that wasn’t stopping the sky from getting dark. Then, literally right before the […]

Springfield Manor Wedding

Phil & Laura Beth’s Springfield Manor Winery & Distillery Wedding {Frederick MD Wedding Photographer}

Weddings

Laura Beth is one of the sweetest young women I know. I’ve had the privilege of getting to see her grow up from the ripe old age of 6 when her family started attending our church and she became fast friends with my sister Grace. Over the years, Laura Beth known by many as LB […]

Thomas & Addie’s story is a sweet one. They met while they were young and while Addie’s family was initially a little wary of Thomas he soon found a place in their hearts. During the reception there were a number of toasts by both friends and family and the common theme was that Addie & Thomas not […]

Chris & Ashley’s Springfield Manor Wedding

Weddings

Every now and then, you encounter a “once-in-a-lifetime moment.” They’re the moments that take your breath away, that make you literally pinch yourself, and leave you wondering, “Is this really happening??” One of those moments occurred during Chris and Ashley’s Springfield Manor Wedding day. Their wedding-day forecast called for ‘strong thunderstorms, gusty winds, and small […]

Ever since I bought my first camera, the romantic in me has always wanted to photograph a proposal!  I was so excited when Frankie texted me earlier this week to see if I was free on Friday to capture his surprise.  Frankie told me how he and Kendra had painted mugs earlier in the week at […]

Drew & Jen’s Middletown MD Wedding

Weddings

Jen and Drew’s wedding was a truly special event.  It’s been awhile that I’ve both attended and photographed a wedding and it was an honor getting to photograph our friend’s beautiful day.  The weather could not have been more perfect despite early predictions of a tropical storm, and the fun, relaxed atmosphere made their wedding […]

Jake & Jackie’s Westminster Riding Club Wedding {Westminster MD Wedding Photographer}

Weddings

Jake & Jackie’s love story is adorable.  They started as high school sweethearts, then dated for seven years before finally getting married right out of college.  In his toast, Jake’s brother stated that Jackie was already his sister and that today just made it official.  It was special seeing how close the two families were and […]

Lori & Joe’s Holly Hills Wedding {Frederick Maryland Wedding Photographer}

Weddings

As we all know, a wedding is a celebration of  two people joining as husband and wife.  Lori & Joe’s wedding, however, illustrated that it’s more about the joining of two families than two individuals.  Between them, Lori & Joe have seven children and I loved how they incorporated their children into their wedding day.  From […]

Kelsie & Tyler’s Walkersville Md Wedding {Walkersville MD Wedding Photographer

Weddings

Kelsie & Tyler are one of the sweetest couples I have had the pleasure of photographing.  They are also incredibly kind and easy going which made our job a breeze on Saturday. After I had to reschedule their engagement shoot three times due to rain, I was curious to see what type of weather we would get […]
