Your photos won’t just show what the day looked like — they’ll bring you back to how it felt. The quiet moments, the wild ones, the in-between laughs — frozen in time, ready to take you back when the memories start to blur.

That’s the beauty of choosing an elopement or intimate wedding. You get to slow down, do things your way, and make space for what really matters. Whether you're hiking to your ceremony spot at sunrise or dancing barefoot under the stars, I’m there to document it all — so that years from now, you can look back and remember exactly what it meant to you.

Breathless in awe, looking out into a wild landscape. You feel deeply alive and connected.

Create a one-of-a-kind elopement experience tailored to you! 

Who says your wedding has to look like everyone else’s? If the idea of ballrooms and seating charts makes you want to run for the hills—good news. You can run for the hills (and I’ll be right there with you).

Whether you’re dreaming of sunrise vows on a mountaintop, a lakeside ceremony with your favorite humans, or saying “I do” under the stars, I’m all in. Let’s trade tradition for adventure and build a day that’s wild, real, and 100% you.

From scouting epic locations to building a timeline that feels relaxed and true to you, I’ll help you plan a day that’s as unforgettable as your love story. And when the day comes, I’ll be there to capture every laugh, tear, and windswept moment—so you can relive it all for years to come.

Hey Hey! I’m Mary

— your Oregon adventure elopement photographer!
Chronic over-packer and professional over-preparer, here to make sure your day is as stress-free, fun, and unforgettable as possible. 🙌

I’m happiest with a camera in hand, surrounded by nature, floating on a lake, chasing sunsets, or diving into the ocean (yes, even when it’s freezing!). Oh—and I never show up without snacks.

Capturing wild, love-filled moments is what lights me up. Let’s create a day that’s full of adventure, intention, and all the feels. I can’t wait to help tell your story in a way that’s as magical as your love.

"Mary is one of the kindest, most down to earth photographers we’ve worked with."

We’ve had the absolute pleasure of shooting with marykphotos not once, but twice, and both experiences were nothing short of amazing. Mary is one of the kindest, most down to earth photographers we’ve worked with. She made the entire photo process feel fun, easy, and so full of joy.

One of our favorite touches? At the end of both shoots, she gifted us printed polaroids that now live on our fridge and in our photo diaries!!! Such a sweet little reminder of special moments captured so beautifully. Can’t recommend her enough if you’re looking for someone who brings heart, creativity, and genuine care to every session!
 - Gabby

"She spent so much time with me figuring out what I wanted for my wedding."

Mary is absolutely amazing! She spent so much time with me figuring out what I wanted for my wedding. I knew weeks in advance what the plan was. She made me feel so beautiful and our photos are stunning! - Taylor


"Mary did an amazing job of photographing my fiancé and me after our engagement and on our wedding day. from start to finish." 

Our session with her were a blast, which was good since my husband had never had photos taken before. She captured the joy of both events, along with keeping it relaxing. I would hire her again in a heartbeat for any event I need photographed in the future, and I recommend her to anyone wanting beautiful photos without the stress of photo shoots. She was delightful to work with.

"raw, authentic photos."

My husband and I spent the better part of a day with Mary running around in The Gorge. She was super sweet and directed us incredibly well while still leaving room for us to do our thing to create some raw, authentic photos.

"Mary is so wonderful to work with."

You ask her for something and she makes it happen. She's captured every stage of my life. Senior pictures, Graduation ceremony, engagement photos, wedding photos, maternity, and as my family grows more and more family shoots. All the photos are perfect! That's all that's up on my walls! She even let's us include our 4 legged family members. I would highly recommend Mary to anyone and everyone. You won't be disappointed in the quality of photos she provides with such great services!
