Assurance of Quality


You don’t have to worry about ending up with photos that don’t meet your expectations. My portfolio is a testament to my dedication to quality, and I can assure you that you’ll receive a collection of memories you’ll treasure forever.

Guidance for Every Pose and Moment


Feeling unsure about posing? Don't worry—that’s where I come in! I’ll guide you every step of the way with natural prompts and poses to ensure you both look and feel amazing. I know how to capture authentic moments and candid shots without it feeling stiff or overly posed.

Experienced Planning and Timeline Support


Weddings can have a lot of moving parts, so I’ll coordinate with your planner, vendors, and venue to keep everything on schedule. Whether it’s creating a timeline to capture those special shots or ensuring everyone is in place for the big moments, I’ll handle the details so you don’t have to.

Stress-Free Photo List


I know the essential photos to capture on a wedding day, from the classic must-haves to unique shots that reflect your style. We’ll go over a checklist together so you can rest easy, knowing that no special moment will be missed.

Wedding Photography Packages Made Simple


With years of experience photographing weddings, I’ve designed my packages to be truly all-inclusive, so you’re not stuck comparing add-ons, building confusing lists, or worrying about what you might be missing. Everything you need is already there. Simple. Stress-free. Done.

I take care of the hard stuff; timeline planning, must-have shot lists, keeping us on track, and making sure nothing is missed so you don’t have to clock watch or manage details on your wedding day.

You’ll answer a few easy questions about what matters most to you… and then I’ll take it from there.

Flexible Payment Options

I know weddings are a big investment. To help offset the cost:

$200 retainer books your date & locks your price

Only 65% of your package is due before your wedding date

That 65% can be broken into smaller monthly payments

The remaining balance isn’t due until 60 days after your wedding, when you submit your album image selections

This gives you breathing room while still securing the photography experience you deserve.

If you’re looking for a fun, down-to-earth experience with beautiful, timeless images (and zero pressure), let’s connect and start planning.

Mary knew her stuff & the results speak for it. We got married at the Ohio Renaissance festival, and she got there earlier than we did to prep for the day & scout some locations, and once it came time for photos she kept us on pace and we even finished our group photos early. You can really tell that she loves her work, it felt like she had just as much fun photographing us as we had on our special day.

FAQ

How long does it take to get our photos delivered?

The amount of time it will take to get your photos delivered will depend on the time of year it can take 3-6 weeks before they are ready.

Do you have a recommended videographer?

Videography styles vary just as much as still photography does. I can recommend several videographers that my previous brides have been happy with.

What if our date changes?

If you need to change your date for any reason and as long as I am still available, you can apply everything you have paid to the new date.
