About

When I photograph a wedding, I want to photograph what it felt like not how it looked. I want to create timeless images that will allow you to relive the experience. What I’m after are the candid moments that add up to tell your story. Even when it comes to portraits, I will give you plenty of direction but I what I’m looking for is nuance and genuine emotion.

Being a wedding photographer is about a lot more than taking pictures. I am here to help you through it. I’ll fluff your dress, make sure you are hydrated and wrangle the family. I want to add to your experience and hopefully make you laugh while I’m at it.

If you would like to know more please send me an email or give me a call so we can set up a time to talk. I'd love to meet you!

Mary is amazing!

Mary was an amazing photographer for our wedding - we couldn’t be happier with our choice. Mary photographed our Sangeet, our wedding ceremony and our reception- all of which had many details within them, from performances to speeches to giant dance floors. Mary was able to perfectly capture the joy, energy and love of our special weekend. She was also a joy to work with throughout the process - whether it was preparing months in advance or during the weekend itself. Mary was able to plan effectively but also roll with the punches as they came. The photos speak for themselves- we are so thrilled with the outcome & couldn’t recommend her more highly.

Distinctive, Timeless Photos

Mary is a fantastic photographer and we were thrilled to have her on our wedding team! We give Mary our highest recommendation. Mary came recommended as a "dream photographer" in a blog post on A Practical Wedding, and we could not agree more. After booking Mary, she generously offered to take time during a personal trip and shoot our engagement photos in Los Angeles (where we live.) With no time for advance location scouting, Mary's trained eye for detail, direction and lighting produced wonderful photos in an outdoor setting much different from the PNW. Mary was patient, supportive and helpful even as we changed our wedding plans no fewer than three times (!) due to COVID-19. We scaled back our ceremony considerably and did not use a planner, but Mary was so easy to work with leading up to the event date. During a drizzly, cold and windy day on Whidbey Island, Mary had a positive, relaxed attitude that kept us at ease throughout the day. Her photos are truly special and distinctive, and we will treasure them forever.

Beautiful photos, great personality

My husband and I had a small wedding - 25 people - and wanted a photographer to capture the mood and emotion of the day without adding any stress. Mary has a great personality and made the photo-taking process a breeze - even the staged family portrait part. We now have hundreds of lovely photos to cherish and to share with our friends and family members who weren't at our tiny wedding. We loved her!

Mary and her assistant (Katherine) were wonderful to work with- professional, creative and hard working. We wanted to get as many candid photos as possible and they certainly delivered. Thank you Mary!

I can't say enough great things about Mary! I knew I wanted her to be our wedding photographer from the start because she did my sister's wedding (which turned out amazing), so I was so happy to find out that she was willing to travel to Palm Springs for our big day! From start to finish, she was so great to work with. Not only was the experience fantastic, but the pictures are so beautiful. We love Mary and will be calling her again for our next photography needs!

Mary has a lot of personality and was a dream to work with! If I had any questions leading up to the wedding, she was always quick to respond and she even took an afternoon to explore the venue with me. When it came to the event, she was present, professional, fun, and put us all at ease! She made my husband and I feel comfortable in front of the camera, which is no easy feat. What I've seen of the pictures so far are beyond my wildest expectations. She captured everything I remember feeling that day. I can't recommend her highly enough!

Mary was absolutely incredible! Her overall vibe is very laid-back and chill, but she was not shy about giving clear directions to make sure everyone looked their best. Family photos (the worst part of every wedding) went so smoothly thanks to Mary. She kept us on schedule throughout the day and put everyone at ease. She's still working on editing our photos, but I've absolutely loved what we've seen so far. Hiring Mary was one of the best decisions we made and I would do it again without hesitation. She's the best!

Mary was wonderful! She was flexible to accommodate mine and my husbands style and had some great ideas. She had previously scouted out the neighborhood of our venue and found some AMAZING backgrounds for a variety of pictures. I couldn't be happier with the way the pictures all turned out!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
