Hey there! I'm Mary-Elizabeth - a fine art wedding & family photographer based in the heart of North Georgia. For over a decade, I’ve had the privilege of capturing love stories and preserving family legacies through timeless, heartfelt imagery. Each photograph I create is meant to be more than a moment frozen in time—it’s a reflection of emotion, connection, and the quiet beauty woven throughout everyday life.
Family is the heartbeat behind my work. I’m blessed to share life with my husband, JJ—my greatest supporter—and our three spirited boys, Landon, Judah, & Cooper, who fill our days with laughter and purpose. They remind me daily of why I do what I do: to honor and preserve the time of fleeting, irreplaceable moments that make up a life well-lived.
Photography, for me, is both a craft and a calling. My approach blends genuine connection with a refined, artful perspective, capturing not only how your day looks but how it feels. Every session is approached with care, intention, and a deep respect for the story being told—because these moments deserve to be remembered beautifully.
When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me adding items to my Amazon Wishlist, sharing a meal with loved ones, or creating something delicious (currently baking homemade sourdough) in my kitchen. I believe the best memories are often made around the table, and they’re even better when paired with a perfectly chilled iced coffee—my creative fuel of choice.
From weddings to family portraits and every milestone in between, it’s my honor to document your story with warmth, artistry, and heart. It is my greatest honor to stop time for you and yours so that you can remember each of these seasons for years to come! I’d love to connect and begin creating something truly beautiful together.
Warmly,
M

"Mary's work will focus on more than just capturing an image. She's skilled in the ability to gather a snapshot of personality, seasons of life, or the essence of a group of people. For me, she's captured my growing family, pregnancy, newborn seasons, laughter in the park from my entire family, my growing business, and even a new (surprise) engagement for my brother. The number of memories she's been able to turn into images is priceless. I highly recommend you leave your photography worries up to her!"

"Mary was an absolute dream to work with for our fall wedding in the foothills of Dahlonega. She captured the mountain scenery and every meaningful moment so beautifully and naturally. Her presence was calming, genuine, and felt more like a friend than a vendor. We will cherish these photos forever."
