Leslie and Andrew first met when they attended boarding school together years ago! They reconnected first at a reunion and then again years later, and I guess three time’s really the charm because it was after that third meeting that they realized there was something between them. All of my couples have their own unique […]

Bailey & Steve’s wedding was truly special. Brent and I have photographed a lot of weddings in our time, and we kept saying how perfect their wedding was last Saturday. The weather was gorgeous, the decorations were stunning, the timeline was relaxed and ran perfectly (largely thanks to their awesome planner, Gary) and the setting […]

Sarah & Ben literally could not have had a more perfect day for their beautiful Dulany’s Overlook wedding! Sarah describes their love as a genuine, enlightening, supportive love that they didn’t want to rush, but weren’t afraid to push because they knew they would better overcome any obstacles as a couple. And from the moment […]

Love knows no age limits, no boundaries, and no pre-conceived notions. A coworker introduced Lewis to Debbie back in 2002, and according to Lewis he’s been ready to get married for a decade! Debbie on the other hand wasn’t so sure she ever wanted to get married again. Lewis remained loyal and faithful through fourteen […]

You guys, I am being 100% honest when I say this Stone Tower Winery wedding styled shoot was one of the most gorgeous shoots I’ve had the opportunity to photograph. I’ve never done just a bridal styled shoot before, but man was it fun. Jessica was a gorgeous bride and the incredible wedding vendors I […]

It’s no secret that I absolutely LOVE photographing around golden hour. Sometimes referred to as ‘magic hour’, golden hour is the period of time right before sunset when the light is warm, diffused, and just plain gorgeous.  Realistically, the window of opportunity is more like 20 minutes or even less depending on the landscape and […]

Stone Tower Winery may be my current all time favorite wedding venue. Between the gorgeous vineyards, pond, reception hall, and wine cellar it’s hard to find a venue in the Leesburg and Loudoun County area that doesn’t offer more. Which is why I was so excited to participate in a Stone Tower Winery wedding styled […]

This is only the second time I’ve had the opportunity to photograph an elopement, and I’m starting to love them! Chris and Sheena got married at the  Frederick Court House and managed to keep their wedding a complete secret until they day of. They tricked both of their moms into meeting them outside the courthouse […]

Wow, 2018 has been an AMAZING year! We were blessed to work with so many wonderful couples and can’t thank them enough for entrusting us to photograph the most meaningful moments of their lives. As a special thank you to all of our 2018 Mary Sarah Photography wedding, maternity, newborn, and engagement clients, we are […]

It was about an hour and a half into Natalie and Darren’s reception when a guest jokingly remarked, “Man, do you think they love each other because it’s hard for me to tell!” I laughed in response because it was so obvious that Darren and Natalie are completely, undeniably,  head over heels in love. From […]
