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.

When Sammi first reached out to me about wanting to find a “fairytale” like location for her engagement shoot, I was a little stumped.

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 […]

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 […]
