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.

Strong Mansion Wedding Pictures | Maryland Wedding Photographer

Weddings

Ever since I was a kid, I remember driving by Strong Mansion on our way to Sugarloaf and dreaming about what it would be like to explore the grounds and mansion interior. When I got into wedding photography, I always hoped one day I would have the opportunity to capture Strong Mansion Wedding Pictures, and […]

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 […]

A Gunpowder and Lace Lodges at Gettysburg Wedding

Weddings

When Jessica and David told me they were thinking of going with a gunpowder and lace theme for their wedding the first venue I thought of was The Lodges at Gettysburg. I was so glad they chose it because I think it perfectly complimented their understated theme. Jess’s lace dress and beautiful hairpiece set the […]

Get excited cuz this Linganore Winecellars engagement shoot features Sammy Stakem who in my unbiased opinion is one of the coolest people ever and has also been one of my best friends since 4th grade.

Antrim 1844 Wedding Pictures

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 […]

Lavender Field Engagement Shoot {Mike & Brittany}

engagements

I have always wanted to do a lavender field engagement shoot but had no idea there was one so close to us! When Brittany suggested we check out Soleado Lavender Farm I felt like a kid in a candy shop as I scouted out their website and instagram. This place is seriously gorgeous and I had […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
