Hi, I'm Mary
I believe in photography that tells a story—one that is deeply personal, beautifully honest, and timeless in its emotion. My approach is rooted in connection, allowing me to document weddings with an intentionality that goes beyond just capturing how they looked, but how they felt.
Inspired by my own love story, human connection, the beauty of nature, and the deep, transformative experience of motherhood, I seek out the quiet in-between moments—fleeting glances, unguarded laughter, hands reaching for each other in an unconscious gesture of love. These are the images that hold weight, that transport you back to the way the air felt, the way your heart raced, the way you were surrounded by the people who mean the most to you.
My work is a collaboration, not just a documentation. I take the time to understand my couples, their values, and the nuances of their relationships, so that when they look back at their photographs, they see themselves—authentic, unfiltered, and full of life. Whether on film or digital, my goal is to create imagery that is both artistic and meaningful, balancing the romance of editorial storytelling with the warmth of genuine human connection.
More than anything, I want my photographs to be a legacy—images that will be cherished not just in the present, but for generations to come. The moments may be fleeting, but the emotions they hold should last forever.

She was AMAZING!!! She communicated and helped every step of the way! She was incredible the day of! She was even responsible for my husband and Is favorite moment of the big day. We got married at a ski resort and she figured out how to get us to be able to ride the chair lift. She went above and beyond at every turn! Not to mention the photos all turned out amazing!! She made us feel so comfortable and look so good! I would recommend her to everyone and I will never stop singing her praises!! She even got us our pictures earlier then quoted and the sneak peak she sent after our wedding included a perfect snapshot of the day and was amazing to get while we were on our honeymoon!! 5 stars is not enough!!!
