ur vision for photography at our wedding. So far we’ve only taken engagement shots - she was a joy to shoot with and we were thrilled with the photos! It means the world to us to have these quality photos to remember a special time in our lives. Thank you Mary! Can’t wait to work with you again at our wedding!
Our engagement photographs were beautifully edited and captured us so well. Mary was encouraging and playful during the shoot and made us feel immediately comfortable (I'm camera s...
hy and feel awkward about that kind of stuff). She goes above and beyond. The photos came back to us quickly, and she sent us a little preview so we could share our good news.

he love between my husband and I and the love between our family and friends and us! Mary has a gift and she is so willing to share it with the world. I highly recommend her to photograph the most important day of your life! I am so happy that I have these images to look back on for the rest of my life. Thank you Mary!!!

en us. Our engagement pictures came out amazing, I can’t wait to see our actual wedding photos!
Mary completely knocked it out of the park. She captured so many beautiful moments that made the day really special--not just the posed moments, but all the sweet little things in ...
between. She is SO easy to work with, and she was never in the way, even though she was able to take really intimate pics of us during the ceremony and reception. Her photos are unconventional in the most beautiful and natural sense--nothing boring or cheesy about it! I will treasure these photos!
I booked Mary for my elopement in December and I could not recommend her enough! Our pictures were stunning and so true to our style. We even had to change some plans last minuet a...
nd she was so flexible.
Oh my goodness, where to start!? Two years ago I reached out to Mary to book our wedding photos. At the time I was completely unaware that she was a budding photographer. I had ...
seen her photos on instagram and fell in love with the raw, editorial style photography style she has. We did our engagement photos in the snow - which was PURE MAGIC. She was willing to stomp around in the accumulating snow with us and made us feel totally at ease. The final edits came quickly giving us ample time to get our website, STD's and invites together. Come wedding day, Mary was so ON IT! I had given her a very vague timeline of the day, hoping for her natural talent at capturing the beautiful candid moments to shine. And SHINE IT DID! I appreciated her ability to keep the day fun and easy while respecting my time with my friends and family. Along with the loose timeline and my shot list being tiny, at best, she was like a ninja and would show up out of nowhere just nailing the timing. Mary's personality is so easy going and uplifting. She works her tush off and makes it seam effortless. LOVE HER TO BITS and hope to work with her again in the future. 1,000% would recommend!
Mary will be seeing us through two of the biggest days of my and my partner's life. She adjusted her schedule and our contract to take our "engagement photos" at our intimate court...
house wedding, and will be taking our photos when we celebrate our marriage again with all of our family and friends. I love the creativity that Mary has to find the right shot in the right light, and how she naturally captures those beautiful, organic moments of love. Plus, she makes us look really good too!
