About

I offer special pricing on destination weddings so be sure to message me! My prices are listed on my website :)

I was a bride before I was a photographer. I got married in 2008 and after being in front of the lens I realized that being behind the lens was something I wanted to do. I started my photography business later that year when my husband deployed to Iraq. I specialize in family and wedding photography in South Carolina but I also love to travel. I consider myself a very bubbly person and I love meeting new people. Photography has opened so many doors for me and I feel so blessed to do what I love!

I am a on-location, natural light photographer here in South Carolina. My approach is more of a lifestyle/candid style and I love to capture natural interactions.

About my life:

Born and raised in the Sou­th, I am a believer in Jesus Christ, front porch livin’, and Chick-fil-a sweet tea.

I married my husband, Vince, in 2008, the week I graduated from High School and I don’t regret it for one minute. He spent 4 years in the Marine Corps before being medically retired and returning to school to get his MBA. We have a little girl and two fur-boys.

Rocky Balboa, our oldest, is a 7 year-old basset-beagle-corgi mutt and the best squirrel hunter around. Maddux Raemond, our middle child, is a 6 year-old Cairn terrier and will never let a tennis ball go unthrown.

Mila Elizabeth, our littlest, was born July 8, 2014 with jejeunal atresia and apple peel deformity. She underwent surgery the day she was born and spent 8 weeks in the NICU. She is now a happy & spunky little girl!

I have curly hair, small feet, & a big mouth.

I love Sylvester Stallone, vinyl records, & poppy seed bread.

I believe in kindness, laughter, & good conversation.

I can’t live without my family, friends, & mac-n-cheese

The PERFECT wedding photographer

I don't even know where to begin with how GREAT Mary is. I found the wedding photographer search to be extremely overwhelming. Who knew there were so many styles of photography, so many different packages, and so many price points?! Once I figured out my preferred style (bright and natural but not highly edited) and my photography package must-haves (engagement photos, 8 hours of wedding day coverage, two photographers, experience photographing at my venue) I reached out to Mary for a consultation. One of the MANY great things about Mary is how she immediately makes you feel at ease. From the moment she said hello during our initial phone conversation, I felt less like I was talking to a wedding vendor and more like I was talking to an old friend who also happens to be an extremely talented photographer. When we met in person for the first time for our engagement session, I felt like I already knew her. My husband hates photos and Mary had him smiling and looking like a GQ model within five minutes of meeting him. He even liked the photos of himself! While her prices were more than I'd planned to spend, SHE IS WORTH EVERY PENNY. Seriously, the quality of her work is phenomenal. Every bride will tell you that your wedding day goes by in the blink of an eye. You absolutely want an experienced and talented photographer there capturing all those moments that you're sure to forget and the ones that you didn't even know were happening because you were too busy to notice. My 6-year old flower girl looking in utter adoration at her mom, my best friend of 20+ years, during her speech at my reception? *shutter click* My wedding party laughing at some inappropriate joke made by a groomsmen during formal photos? *shutter click* Glasses raised with tearful eyes in response to a touching tribute my father made to my husband's late father during his speech? *shutter click click* Mary is an experienced professional and knows when and where to focus her camera during your wedding day. She is also a complete expert at finding the perfect spot based on the scenery and lighting conditions. When she comes to you with a crazy suggestion about sitting on a log in the woods or asks you to walk towards her in slow motion while hip-bumping with your new husband, just trust her and do it. Thank her later when you're tearing up while looking through your album. I could write a novella about her talents, how Mary and her second shooter Robin were absolute gems to work with, and how the quality of her work is second to none. Just hire her already and know that your wedding will be perfectly captured.

She was not only reliable; she was prompt, dependable, caring and afforable. We had a small wedding and needed someone that could do the job of capturing moments that meant the most to us! I was so happy to have met Mary through a mutual friend. She paid attention to detail and gave us everything we wanted plus more. I would refer any friend or family member. I can NOT wait to work with Mary in the future!

I had about 6 weeks to plan my wedding on a really tight budget, and I was a little overwhelmed with how many wedding photographers are out there (and how much they charge!). I knew about Mary because she's my sister's best friend. I checked out her website, and she has really amazing photographs! Mary was excellent to work with - she communicated well, she was friendly, and she took wonderful photographs of my husband and my wedding. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND HIRING MARY FOR YOUR WEDDING!
