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.

A Harry Potter Themed Wedding at Musket Ridge Golf

Weddings

It was about an hour and a half into Natalie and Darren’s reception when a guest jokingly remarked, “Man, do you think they love each other because it’s hard for me to tell!” I laughed in response because it was so obvious that Darren and Natalie are completely, undeniably,  head over heels in love. From […]

Musket Ridge Wedding – Alex & Lauren

Weddings

Alex and Lauren’s wedding was a series of firsts for Brent and I.  It was the first Penn State themed wedding we ever photographed (or attended for that matter) and let me just say, they rocked their theme! It was also the first wedding we photographed where the bride seemed more nervous about the Penn […]

Wedding Glen Ellen Farm – Heather & Kyle

Weddings

Heather & Kyle’s Wedding at Glen Ellen Farm  I love when my couples try to really make their family a part of their wedding day. For their beautiful wedding at Glen Ellen Farm, Heather and Kyle did just that. The only difference is that in this case, their family is their puppies! Heather and Kyle […]

Springfield Manor Winery & Distillery Wedding

Weddings

If ever a wedding day could be considered, “perfect” it was Adam and Danielle’s Springfield Manor Winery & Distillery wedding.  Despite the fact that most of July has been downright miserable their day was beautiful; sunny, low 80s, with a gentle breeze. Danielle chose a lavender and teal color scheme and their decor was simple but […]

A Shire themed Morningside Inn Wedding

Weddings

Every now and then I meet a couple who were absolutely, beyond a shadow of a doubt meant to be together.  Sammi and Ben are one of those couples.  High school sweethearts and English teachers, these two have a shared love for literature, theater, Dungeons and Dragons, all things nerdy (Sammi’s words, not mine!) and […]

Lavender Field Engagement Shoot {Mike & Brittany}

engagements

I have always wanted to do a lavender field engagement shoot but had no idea there was one so close to us! When Brittany suggested we check out Soleado Lavender Farm I felt like a kid in a candy shop as I scouted out their website and instagram. This place is seriously gorgeous and I had […]

Holly Hills Country Club Wedding {Frederick MD Wedding Photographer}

Weddings

With the months of planning and preparation that go into a wedding, the big day can often be stressful.  I have to say that Justin and Amelia were the most relaxed bride and groom I have ever worked with!  Their Holly Hills Country Club wedding was perfect, right down to the last detail, and the […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
