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.

Ben & Rebekah’s Snowy I Still Do Shoot {Frederick, MD Wedding Photographer}

engagements

Mary Sarah and the cold do not particularly get along very well.  As such, the idea of a snow photo-shoot was born more out of a desperation to start photographing again, and less out of a desire to actually go outside.  The Sunday after Saturday’s big snow dawned a sunny and balmy 43 degrees, so […]

Jesse and Lindsey’s Springfield Manor Wedding {Frederick, MD Wedding Photographer}

Weddings

One of the greatest perks of wedding photography is the opportunity to meet so many amazing people.  During my initial photography consult with Lindsey and Jesse, we discovered that Lindsey’s family lives only four doors down from the house Brent and I just bought!  Jesse and Lindsey have been a delight to work with over the […]

Jake & Jackie’s Harpers Ferry Engagement Shoot

engagements

Jake and Jackie wanted fall colors for their engagement shoot, but the weather seemed to have other ideas. After having to reschedule once with our rain date also predicting rain, we ended up switching dates again to an early Sunday morning.  After winding up in different parking lots, we finally found each other and hurried […]

Justin and Samantha are absolutely adorable!  Their love for each other is incredibly evident in their smiles, laughter, and overall interaction with each other.  Samantha is also one of the sweetest people I’ve met and has a knack for making Justin laugh which made my job very easy 🙂 We started our Frederick, MD engagement […]

Mendie & Toby’s Baker Park Wedding Portraits { Frederick MD Wedding Photographer }

Weddings

Mendie and Toby are such a sweet, cute couple!  Having known each other for over twenty years, they finally decided to tie the knot in a private courthouse ceremony.  After their ceremony, I had the privilege of getting to photograph these two love birds around Baker Park.  Having grown up in Frederick, Mendie wanted to […]

Lauren & Brad’s Horse Farm Frederick, MD Wedding Photography

Weddings

When I first visited Lauren at her aunt’s horse farm, she promised me that there were gorgeous mountains surrounding the property, but between the rain and the fog it was impossible to see.  Luckily, Lauren’s wedding day dawned bright and beautiful and we were able to take advantage of her aunt’s gorgeous property!  Lauren’s flowers […]

Jonathan & Julia’s Links of Gettysburg Wedding, Frederick MD

Weddings

Jonathan and Julia’s story is a sweet one!  They met at church as young children and at ten years of age decided that they liked each other.  Sadly, their dreams were shattered when Julia’s parents got wind of the heart-shaped locket that Jonathan bought her for her 13th birthday. As the years passed, Julia and […]

Matt & Tara’s Salisbury University Engagement Shoot

engagements

I had the privilege of meeting Tara and Matt five years ago when they were freshmen and I was a senior at Salisbury University.  They both became involved in Cru – a Christian organization on campus – and after a few months I, along with everyone else, was so excited when they started dating.  Tara […]
