EAST COAST PORTRAIT & WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY

MEET YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER

Hello! I'm Mary.

It's nice to meet you.

I am a queer, New York City-based photographer championing spaces where all joy is seen and celebrated.


Originally from Indiana, I'm now based in Manhattan, where I live with my wife, Rosalie, and our cat, Ramsay.  I have a formal background in theater and have been immensely privileged to work and train all over the world.


While I love exploring my gorgeous city, you'll often find me playing video games, cooking my favorite Korean comfort meal, and planning our next overseas adventure.


Let's connect and share this special moment of your life together.

MJC Weddings

Testimonials

"Here is the thing I didn’t anticipate about having Mary shoot our wedding…she literally ended up feeling like a vital organ by the end of the day. She gave clear direction for a shot, while always managing to let us be completely natural. She felt so intimately a part of each moment, while somehow still cultivating a feeling of total privacy. We asked Mary to capture our totally sincere obsession with each other in the most organic way possible, and she delivered in spades."

Marlena + Bianca

"I could write a novel about how incredible it was to work with Mary. Getting our photos back was overwhelming because she truly captured everything we asked for, and so much more. There were so many people and moments I left our wedding day thinking we hadn’t captured, but when I looked at our final album, all those missing moments were present. Forever grateful."

CAit + Dan

"As a couple who isn't the most comfortable in front of the camera and honestly didn’t know what we were doing, Mary made us feel completely at ease. She has a unique ability to make you feel entirely comfortable, guiding us through every step and never making us feel awkward or out of place. We are beyond thrilled with our wedding photos and would highly recommend Mary to anyone looking for a talented, professional, and kind photographer. "

Victoria + Jorge

Testimonials

"Their work is simply perfect - soft, confident, and taught us all we needed to know! There aren't enough words to describe how amazing they are. Every single photo they captured of our wedding day is absolute perfection. They were able to beautifully document all the special moments without us spending the entire day posing for photos. Absolutely stunning and I cannot recommend MJC IMAGE enough!"

Courtney + Luis

"Mary has an uncanny talent for capturing private moments without you knowing. Our finally gallery was surprise after surprise - what a gift. EVEN more impressive, she kept my extra large, loud family in line while moving us quickly through the formal photos. We feel so lucky to have had her as our photographer! We couldn't be happier with the beautiful photos we'll cherish for the rest of our lives."

Rebecca + Ainsley

"From the first phone call, I knew we'd found something special in Mary. Her warmth only equals her professionalism. I can't tell you how many photographers we spoke to before meeting her, but now, sitting with our album in front of us, I know finding her was worth the struggle. Her photos are gorgeous and I can feel myself back in these moments as I look through them."

Donna + Aaron

Testimonials

"If there’s one decision you must make for your wedding, it’s choosing Mary to be your photographer. From our very first call we knew we were in good hands. Mary is thorough, reassuring, and incredibly talented. Every photo shows the genuine love and joy that we felt. We are so happy we were able to spend such a special day surrounded by her incredible energy! We will cherish the photos she took forever."

SHelby + Clayton

"Mary is the easiest person to work with, she is knowledgeable, follows her intuition, and treats everyone she encounters with a genuine warmth and kindness as if she has known them forever. Our friends and family all adored her and I would lovingly refer her to anyone searching for a photographer. Not only are her people skills admirable, her photography is beautiful. Our wedding photos are a dream and I go through them often."

Mia + Michael

"We absolutely cannot say enough good things about Mary! She was the best wedding photographer we could have asked for. She brought the good vibes throughout the day and her photos were absolutely gorgeous- we love them so much!! She was professional, detail oriented, and extremely kind. We have been singing her praises to everyone we know. Thank you Mary for being the best and for giving us photos we will cherish forever."
