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.

Drew & Jen’s Middletown MD Wedding

Weddings

Jen and Drew’s wedding was a truly special event.  It’s been awhile that I’ve both attended and photographed a wedding and it was an honor getting to photograph our friend’s beautiful day.  The weather could not have been more perfect despite early predictions of a tropical storm, and the fun, relaxed atmosphere made their wedding […]

Chris & Ashley’s Country Engagement Shoot {Frederick Engagement Photography}

engagements

I love getting to photograph at new venues, so I was very excited when Ashley requested we do her and Chris’s engagement shoot at her father’s farm.  However, I had no idea just how gorgeous their farm would be!  As soon as Brent and I arrived we knew this was going to be a fantastic […]

Crystal & Ryan’s Frederick MD Engagement Pictures {Frederick, MD Wedding Photographer}

engagements

I couldn’t have asked for a prettier day for Crystal and Ryan’s engagement shoot.  The sun was shining and the temperature was perfect.  Crystal and Ryan are such a cute couple and Crystal was all beautiful smiles.  Even though they were a little nervous at first – which is perfectly natural – after a few minutes […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 & Samantha’s Frederick, MD Engagement Shoot

engagements

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 […]
