The Artist Behind the Lens
Let's connect
I’ve been photographing couples since 2017, and my journey in photography began long before that. In elementary school, my friends and I created homemade stop-action satire videos for fun. I grew up riding horses and photographed friends and family at competitions. My high school had a dark room and our photography classes encouraged me to document every day life. I began capturing the mundane on a daily basis.
My love for photography is deeply influenced by my spiritual outlook on life. At the age of 17, my best friend passed away and my awakening to life began. It happened after years of depression and anxiety. But what was a deeply sad event sparked within me a deep respect and reverence for life. I began to truly grasp that life is a precious, finite and fragile gift to be cherished.
It’s not just about taking photos - it’s about being awake to the beauty that surrounds us, and to the joy, the pain, the messy and imperfect, the chaos and the delights that make up the human experience. It’s about celebrating life.

my FAVORITES
"Mary has now done our engagement photos, elopement photos and formal wedding photos. My now husband was initially very shy in front of the camera, Mary knew this (because she asks all the right questions) and made him feel comfortable and our photos turned out amazing. We will continue to work with Mary on any photography needs we have because she is enjoyable to be around, takes amazing photos and makes use both feel so comfortable."

"From the beginning, Mary saw moments to be captured and had so much attention to detail. I felt like I rarely saw her turn away from behind the camera, which is a true sign of someone who “has it”. The finished product, to no surprise, came out stunningly beautiful. She truly told a story in our photos. I didn’t feel like I was looking at random shots- it felt like I was able to recount my day as if in movie clips!! She has a true story telling ability!"

"You have captured every moment in a way that is so magical and we will be able to look back on and celebrate the joy from this day for years to come with these wonderful keepsakes. These photos are so so so perfect and we could not be happier with them! As we looked through the photos together they reminded us of all the little moments throughout the day that made us smile and laugh because they perfectly capture us and who we are. THANK YOU soooo much! You truly have an incredible gift with your photography!"

"So so so thrilled with our pictures. You did a wonderful job at capturing the excitement and joy on that day. The flash photos are such a dream, somehow you’ve managed to make us look like an A-list couple. The ceremony photos have such a beautiful soft warmth to them that really stood out to me."

"Best decision was to hire her. Mary had such a great energy about her during the entire wedding day. She kept me calm and distracted when things went a lil awry Mary was able to make me smile and got beautiful photos. Not only were the photos so amazing the turn around to getting the photos was super quick. Hire her! She even ran up and down the streets of downtown LA to get some really cool photos.”
