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.

Maryland Wedding Photographer | Bailey & Steve

Weddings

Bailey & Steve’s wedding was truly special. Brent and I have photographed a lot of weddings in our time, and we kept saying how perfect their wedding was last Saturday. The weather was gorgeous, the decorations were stunning, the timeline was relaxed and ran perfectly (largely thanks to their awesome planner, Gary) and the setting […]

Franciscan Monastery Engagement Shoot – Amy & Marc

engagements

If this Franciscan Monastery engagement shoot proved anything it’s that Amy and Marc are able to remain positive despite serious crazy shenanigans trying to ruin their day.  I met Amy a few summers ago through a mutual friend after Amy moved down from Pittsburgh and then we discovered we would be teaching at the same […]

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 […]

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 […]

James & Hayley’s Springfield Manor Wedding {Frederick MD Wedding Photographer}

Weddings

I have been working nonstop to wrap up James & Hayley’s wedding blog because I cannot wait to share it with the world!  Every detail about this wedding was stunning, complimented by the beautiful landscape at Springfield Manor on a crystal-clear, 75-degree Saturday afternoon.  James & Hayley are truly a perfect match, and the love […]

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 […]

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 […]
