Gentle, timeless, organic & feeling

Wedding and elopement photography for the storytellers and seekers of light.

I’m here to quietly witness and gently capture the magic of your day—just as it unfolds. No stiff poses, and no forced moments. Just the real stuff: the way you look at each other when no one’s watching, the wind in your hair, the laughter that spills out unexpectedly, and loudly.

I believe in showing up as a friend, not just a photographer. Someone you can feel comfortable around, someone who sees you for who you are. My work is rooted in connection, ease, and the beauty of the in-between.

This isn’t just about photos—it’s about preserving how it all felt. Honest. Joyful. Like magic.

Kind words

  • I've had the pleasure of working with Mary twice and I cannot be more grateful to work with someone so dedicated to their craft. Mary photographed my engagement and my civil wedding and each time we worked with her, it has been nothing short of amazing. On an already stressful day, Mary assured my husband and I that everything would turn out fine. Not only did Mary melt the stress of the day away, she captured the most gorgeous photos of our special day. Considering hiring Mary? Do it! You won't regret it. ♡

  • My husband and I were so lucky to have Mary as our elopement photographer! She is by far the best photographer we have had. She is just so likable! Very fun, comfortable vibes. Stunning work! She even got a little video for us. LOVEEE!

  • Mary was amazing to work with, she communicated very well before, during and after the photo shoot for our engagement. Changes made at the last minute? No worries! Mary was not only communicating but accommodating to whatever needs we had. She made us feel comfortable in our photo shoot with her as well. I could go on and on about how amazing she was, but somehow her photos were even better than her help and flexibility! Mary is truly a blessing for anyone to have as a photographer and we will definitely work with her again for our wedding!
