Mary was a great photographer for our wedding! I really liked her style of photos, and they turned out exactly as expected. She provided lots of great photos of both the wedding party, family, and the venue. She arrived early, was very communicative, and was also flexible when our schedule was running behind! Would absolutely recommend.

My husband and I absolutely loved working with Mary. She was incredibly friendly, quick to respond, and great with suggestions/ideas. When we started to worry about possible weather issues, she was quick to reassure us and help think of backup plans. And we’re very happy with the results. The photos turned out great! Highly recommend.

Details: Wedding • Fewer than 25 guests • Outdoors • Digital or online download

Had a great time with Mary at our engagement shoot in Shenandoah. She was very helpful and accommodating from the start while trying to plan our trip (we were from out of state). Day of instructions were very informative and easy to follow. She was there before us ready to go on time and had great energy throughout the shoot. Very professional and timely in getting the album afterwards, 10/10 recommend Mary for your next shoot whatever the occasion!

I was planning a proposal on my trip to Shenandoah National Park and needed to find someone who knew the area well and could help find the perfect spot. Luckily, I was able to find Mary and she knocked it out of the park! Mary was very knowledgeable about where the best spot would be and was very accommodating to the time and dates I proposed. She was able to capture some really great shots and made the whole experience wonderful. We even had the final pictures within a day and they turned out awesome! Would highly recommend Mary for any photography needs!!
