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.

Oh man, I am so excited to bring you this engagement shoot. There are some couples who are so totally and completely in love that they can’t help but constantly be cuddling, kissing, and wrapping up in each other’s arms. Which can perhaps be a bit annoying when you’re the friend who is always having […]

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.

20 Gorgeous Golden Hour Wedding and Engagement Pictures

engagements, Weddings

It’s no secret that I absolutely LOVE photographing around golden hour. Sometimes referred to as ‘magic hour’, golden hour is the period of time right before sunset when the light is warm, diffused, and just plain gorgeous.  Realistically, the window of opportunity is more like 20 minutes or even less depending on the landscape and […]

Bailey and Steve couldn’t have asked for a prettier day for their Sugarloaf Mountain Engagement Shoot.

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 […]

We’re kicking off the 2018 wedding season with a bang!  Check out this beautiful winter Holly Hills Country Club wedding! For a January wedding, Tarek & Elizabeth couldn’t have asked for better weather (okay, maybe a little less wind, but it’s hard to complain when the temperature was in the fifties!). I loved their neutral […]
