My journey into photography stems from a childhood dream rooted in creativity and expression. As a little girl, I wanted to be an artist, but was always told to go to college, get my degree, secure a steady job in corporate America, stick to the status quo... sound familiar? My generation was asked to go to college to make a better living for themselves when in reality, I was miserable. So I ditched the 9-5 desk job and dove head first into my passion in 2020 and I haven't regretted taking the risk ⸺
I can truly say I'm living a dream by having the honor of documenting humans in love all across the globe.

Photographer & Educator
I draw almost all of my inspiration from my background in working in the media while also drawing inspiration from editorial publications like Vogue. Photo-journalism and how true documentary style photography is executed is something that cannot be reproduced or recreated. Documenting a wedding day should be relaxed and how your wedding photographer documents your day shouldn't feel like a grand production of a checklist of moments.
My commitment to curating the most authentic heirlooms for you and your partner and future family members lies solely in where I pride myself in the client experience that I offer. Personalized, intimate and raw interactions not only on your wedding day, but in the process leading up to your wedding is where I'm able to immesh myself in your love story to ensure that the storytelling in your heirlooms translates organically and feels authentically like you and your partner's true essence of who you both are.

My time with Mary was phenomenal! Not only did I get an amazing photographer, I gained an amazing friend. She spent the time to talk to me initially and explain all of her pricing and why she was passionate for what she does. She even flew out to Texas just to take my engagement pictures! My pictures that she did for both my engagement and wedding were so dreamy. My day was just so perfect. You need to have Mary take your pictures! She is the best in the biz! She will be a forever friend and will definitely use her for other pictures in the future.
