Hi! I'm Mary Frances and I am SO excited to meet you.
Weddings mark the beginning of a new chapter in a couple's life together. It is a day filled with love, joy, and celebration as two people commit to spend the rest of their lives together.
As a photographer, I have the unique gift to be able to capture moments that would have otherwise been forgotten. Moments that go by in a whirlwind, that happen so fast that if you blink you might miss them. I know the joy and delight first hand of being able to look on a photograph and to remember the beauty of a moment.
Finding beauty is sometimes just about remembering what we already have.
In a world where it's so easy to forget, it is my joy and delight to have an occupation where I help others to remember their moments of beauty.
It was lovely getting to chat with you and hear more about your special day!
Included below are some collections that I think would be a good fit for what you're looking for!
You're engaged!
Once your date is officially reserved with a 33% retainer, we'll send over a few goodies to help you prepare for the big day. We're happy to serve as a resource for vendor recommendations, timeline guidance and more!
Make it official
Sessions can take place anywhere from immediately following a proposal to just a few days before the wedding. We’ve found that there isn’t a “good” or “bad” time to take your photos.
We check in about two months before the wedding to start chatting about timeline specifics, special details, family formal shot lists, special traditions and anything else we should know about your big day.
It's finally here! The day the two of you say "I Do" and dance the night away surrounded by your family and friends. Just know we're excited to celebrate and capture your wedding day. It's going to be awesome
You can expect your photos to be delivered via an online gallery within about three weeks of your wedding. At that time, we'll also send over details about preserving your images through prints and albums.

I am a big believer that images aren’t meant to solely exist in a digital space. One day, most likely, Instagram will be gone, your phone will be replaced and images that you can physically hold in your hand will be the best way to remember those precious moments we captured.
Think about this fact: fifteen years ago, if we had delivered you digital images, they would have been on a floppy disk. With the fast updates to technology, you would have no way to access those images today. Even the online galleries we deliver will eventually fade away.
One of the best ways to make your wedding memories last is by ordering an album. These high quality professionally designed albums come in a variety of linen & leather colors. I believe that albums are so important and that is why I gift a complimentary album credit for my tier two and three collections.
THE PERFECT WAY TO REMEMBER YOUR WEDDING DAY
Unless you’re a model, being photographed probably feels a little awkward. We do this for a living and we still always feel a little out of place when we have our photos taken every year.
We’re big fans of engagement sessions for a few reasons. First, they allow you to get comfortable in front of the camera. It takes time for most couples to warm up to being photographed and understand how we pose. Timelines can be pretty tight on weddings days and 30 minutes may be all we have for portraits - which is why
we’ve found that wedding day portraits turn out so much better when couples do engagement sessions ahead of time.
Second, you can showcase your personalities in a more casual setting that is significant to the two of you (and even include pets!) While they’re great for save-the-dates, we’ve taken engagement photos anywhere from 18 months in advance to a few days before the wedding.
Collection two and three include complimentary engagements sessions.
Celebrating a season
Whenever you would like! We can shoot this immediately upon booking or if you're from out of town, we can schedule something closer to the wedding day.

Galleries typically include anywhere between 500 and 1000 photos. The exact amount varies from wedding to wedding. Your online gallery will come loaded with fully edited high resolution images. You will have the option to purchase prints and albums, but can also print where ever you'd like.

Fantastic! To reserve your wedding date, we’ll need a completed contract and a 30% non-refundable deposit. If you don’t have a contract yet, just let us know and we’ll send one over! The remaining balance will be due 1 week before the wedding.

I love to travel and am always excited to capture a destination wedding! I know every destination wedding is unique so I like to create custom quotes for each destination wedding.
