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.

This is only the second time I’ve had the opportunity to photograph an elopement, and I’m starting to love them!

Glen Ellen Farm Wedding Pictures

Weddings

They say rain on your wedding day is good luck. But hurricanes? Not so much! As soon as I heard a potential hurricane was predicted for Taylar’s wedding, I called her up immediately and we discussed contingency plans for her Glen Ellen Farm wedding pictures in case the worst did happen. She was doing her […]

A Beautiful Winter Holly Hills Country Club Wedding

Weddings

We’re kicking off the 2018 wedding season with a bang!  Check out this beautiful winter Holly Hills Country Club wedding! For a January wedding, Tarek & Elizabeth couldn’t have asked for better weather (okay, maybe a little less wind, but it’s hard to complain when the temperature was in the fifties!). I loved their neutral […]

When Kevin proposed to Michaela, he knew he was going to have to work very hard to keep it a surprise. The premise was pretty straightforward: Kevin’s birthday was coming up so he told Michaela that he would like to meet up with a few friends and coworkers for a small party at Il Porto […]

Kat & Jeff’s engagement shoot was one of my favorite to date! The weather was perfect, the fall colors and lighting were gorgeous, and Kat and Jeff have such a natural chemistry between the two of them that it made my job so easy! About one minute into my consult with them, I knew that […]

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 […]

Matt and Tara’s Rainy Salisbury, MD Wedding {Frederick Maryland Wedding Photographer}

Weddings

Simply put, Tara and Matt were meant to be together. I don’t know if I believe that everyone has that “perfect” someone out there, but I do believe that God brings couples together for a reason, and I believe that Matt and Tara are a beautiful example of that.  Tara recently blogged about her and […]

Jason & Sarah’s Wedding Catonsville, MD

Weddings

Sarah and Jason couldn’t have asked for a prettier day as they joined hands in marriage one early Friday afternoon in September.  Their wedding was the perfect afternoon wedding; relaxed and fun, while filled with friends, family, and lots of laughter. I love elegant, evening weddings but sometimes it’s nice to step back from all […]
