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.

Country Truck Engagement Shoot

engagements

After four reschedules and an engagement shoot that got cut in half due to the rain, I was starting to think that Jess and David were straight up cursed when it came to the weather.  Thankfully, our sixth try brought us a beautiful summer evening and I’m hopeful their luck holds out for their Lodges at […]

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 […]

Harpers Ferry Engagement Pictures: Tyler & Michaela

engagements

Remember that March snowstorm that came out of nowhere and covered up all my daffodils turning them into a sad, droopy mess?  Yeah, that was the day we were supposed to take Michaela and Tyler’s Harpers Ferry engagement pictures. Needless to say we rescheduled, and honestly I did a little dance when it snowed because it […]

Paris Engagement Shoot {Destination Wedding Photographer}

engagements

This summer I had the incredible opportunity to travel to Paris for a five day photography workshop with renowned photographer Scott Robert Lim.  I had never done anything like this and found myself both excited and incredibly nervous as the course crept up.  As soon as I stepped into the apartment where we met every morning […]

Piney Run Park Engagement Shoot – Kyle & Heather

engagements

Engagement shoots are so fun because they give us time to get to know our couple better and showcase their interests and personalities.  Heather and Kyle are both dog lovers and as such wanted to incorporate their family of four puppies into their engagement shoot. We met at their home to get pictures in their back […]

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 […]

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 […]

Links at Gettysburg Wedding : Andrea & Davin

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 – […]

PB Dye Wedding Ryan & Crystal

Weddings

Crystal is one of the sweetest people I have ever met. She exudes kindness, is incredibly thoughtful, and has been an absolute joy to work with and get to know better over the past year and a half. I’m so happy that she has found Ryan because it is obvious that the two just get […]

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 […]
