Welcome to the blog!

I’m Mary Sarah — a Maryland photographer drawn to golden hour light, meaningful connection, and moments that feel deeply personal. This is where those stories live — from wedding days to growing families and everything in between — all captured in a way that feels natural, romantic, and true to you.
 I’m so glad you’re here.

George Peabody Library Wedding Photos

George Peabody Library Wedding Photos Rachel and Andy’s George Peabody Library wedding was such a sweet event. It may have rained and been crazy windy at times, but Rachel and Andy didn’t even seem to notice they were so in love and so excited to get married! I met Rachel and her lovely bridesmaids at […]

Bluebird Manor Wedding

Bluebird Manor Wedding I have been looking forward to Bailey & Brady’s Bluebird Manor wedding for months! Bluebird Manor is a gorgeous Frederick MD wedding venue, and it was only fitting that Bailey and Brady’s wedding was one of the very first celebrations held there — especially since Bailey’s mom, Carol, is the owner of […]

Ellen & Marco’s Milton Ridge Wedding

My heart sunk when I received Ellen’s text that they were going to have to postpone their wedding indefinitely. Ellen and Marco were supposed to get married back in July, but Marco lives in Honduras and due to strict Covid travel restrictions Marco literally was unable to make it to his own wedding. In the […]

Loudoun County Wedding Photographer | Fall Country Engagement Photos

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, […]

Ceresville Mansion Wedding Photos

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 […]

Cylburn Arboretum Engagement Photos

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 […]

Dulanys Overlook Wedding Pictures | Frederick MD Wedding Photographer

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 […]

20 Gorgeous Golden Hour Wedding and Engagement Pictures

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 […]
