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.

Wedding Venues in Frederick MD – Bluebird Manor

Weddings

In the days leading up to Mackenzie & Zach’s Bluebird Manor wedding, the weather was predicting a 100% chance of rain pretty much all day. Not the best odds. Mackenzie & Zach were travelling up from Charlotte, NC for their wedding day and bringing many guests and even vendors with them, so we were all […]

Downtown Gettysburg Battlefield Engagement Shoot | Gettysburg Wedding Photographer

engagements

Leslie and Andrew actually went to boarding school together and then ended up getting back in touch a few years ago! How cute is that? These two live in Gettysburg and recently purchased the James Gettys Hotel which they’re in the process of renovating WHILE planning a wedding. I do not envy them haha. It […]

Baltimore MD Wedding Photographer – A Backyard Country Wedding

Weddings

I love all of my couples, but some of them I just really click with. I realized Kat & Jeff were one of those couples when we met up for a brief consult over happy hour and three hours later were still munching on crab dip and chatting away! I have so enjoyed getting to […]

Our Proposal Story!

engagements, Personal

9 Years ago today as the sun set over Assateague Island, Brent Rader got down on one knee and asked me to marry him! At the time, Brent and I had been together for five years and I knew the proposal was coming. In May, we went ring shopping at Golden Nugget Jewelers in Philly […]

Glen Ellen Farm Wedding {Matt & Sarah}

Weddings

I love this couple. They are sweet, humble, funny, and love and serve the Lord. Matt and Sarah grew up only ten minutes from each other but didn’t meet until college when my matchmaking sister Rebecca (whose wedding you can find here) introduced the two of them. Although they shared classes and had secretly noticed each […]

I have literally been counting down the days to this wedding for months now! I have always wanted to photograph an Antrim 1844 wedding and when Sara contacted me about photographing her wedding there I couldn’t have been more excited. I was thrilled not only about the gorgeous venue but also about getting to be […]

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 […]

Ostertag Vistas Wedding Frankie & Kendra

Weddings

Frankie and Kendra are a couple whose love for each other shows in every aspect of their lives. Whenever they are together they are constantly laughing, hugging, stealing glances at each other, and just being all around adorable. When they’re apart, just mention the name of their significant other and their eyes light up. I have […]

Weddings

I feel so blessed by all the amazing couples we have had the opportunity to work with this summer and for our final wedding of the summer, I couldn’t have enjoyed working with Andrea & Davin more.  I also felt blessed that Andrea & Davin’s Links at Gettysburg wedding was a balmy 75 degrees – […]
