my PROMISE TO YOU

Every detail matters. My goal is to effortlessly create bespoke imagery that is truly personal—an artful reflection of your story, thoughtfully tailored to you. What you receive is more than just images—it’s a timeless keepsake of your most meaningful moments.

Every great love story deserves to be told with care, honesty, and artistry. My approach is rooted in connection—taking the time to truly understand you, your vision, and the meaning woven into your day. Because what endures isn’t only how your wedding looked, but the emotions you felt living it.

With a refined yet heartfelt perspective, I create imagery that is as personal as it is timeless—blending editorial direction with genuine emotion. Each detail, each fleeting glance, each quiet in-between moment is intentionally preserved, so your photographs become more than images: they become heirlooms.

My promise is to serve you with both artistry and intention, offering an experience that feels seamless, personal, and thoughtfully tailored to your story. The result is romantic, refined imagery—an elevated reflection of your love that you’ll treasure for generations.

Editorial Wedding & Portrait Photographer

Hi friend,

I’m Mary Kate!

Consider this your corner of inspiration—where artistry meets intention and storytelling feels as effortless as it is iconic. With over a decade of experience as a hybrid film and digital photographer, I create imagery that blends timeless elegance with editorial artistry. My goal is simple: to capture moments that feel both elevated and deeply personal—photographs that will hold their meaning long after the day has passed.

At the heart of my work is you—your story, your style, your unforgettable moments. I believe photography should be as much about connection as it is about aesthetics. Clients often tell me they feel instantly at ease, because our time together is more than a session—it’s a collaboration rooted in trust, care, and an appreciation for beauty.

Based in the South and New England, I travel often across the U.S. and internationally, photographing celebrations and stories with a distinctly editorial perspective. Whether in a historic New England venue, a Southern estate, or halfway across the world, I bring an eye inspired by light, movement, fashion, interiors, and the timeless elegance found in real connection.

Over the years, I’ve had the honor of being featured in publications like BRIDES, PEOPLE, Southern Bride, The New York Times, Rocky Mountain Bride, and HGTV Magazine. I was also named one of the Top 15 Destination Photographers in the World by Brit & Co, recognized as Best Photographer for 2025 by the Loverly List, and included in the Top 31 Best Wedding Photographers in the South by Loverly.

Still, the greatest honor of all is telling your story—capturing the moments that reflect not just how your day looked, but how it felt. With a thoughtful, editorial approach and an unwavering commitment to authenticity, I create imagery that is elevated, emotive, and timeless—art you’ll treasure for a lifetime.

Welcome, darling— I’m so glad you’re here.

Mary Kate was also incredibly easy to work with - flexible during the planning process and made us feel so comfortable while shooting the photos.
