Humble Brag

She is more than a photographer

Mary is simply AMAZING! She is more than a photographer. From the beginning through to the end she offered endless advice and guidance. On the day of the photo shoot we felt in really comfortable and it was like having a close friend there with us! Her experience and professionalism shines through, which allowed us to relax and have a chill session! When we saw the photos, we couldn’t be more happier with the results, she is seriously talented and genuinely love her work! If you’re thinking about booking her DO IT!!! You won’t be disappointed! She did not fail to capture our personalities through the photos.

she made the whole experience a total blast

"We had a session with Mary at Mt Doug in Victoria BC and she was wonderful! She has an innate ability to bring out honest joy when photographing you. We felt so comfortable during the shoot. Neither of us are used to having our photos taken and she made the whole experience a total blast. Her joyous attitude and giant smile are crazy contagious and she’s just a treat to be around. We couldn’t be happier with the photos either! Such a beautiful, honest capturing of our relationship in all its silliness"

Mary made us feel comfortable and taken care of and we didn't need to worry about missing a moment

Mary was absolutely fantastic! We hired Mary just over a year ago to photograph our wedding. From the initial virtual meeting forward we were impressed. She is a very organized individual and worked closely with us to plan the photography details of our wedding. Mary provided us with encouraging emails and a beautiful wedding guide that she designed! The day before our wedding, we received the most reassuring email regarding the potential for rain on our wedding day (oh it rained!). Mary made us feel comfortable and taken care of and we didn't need to worry about missing a moment. She was sensitive to the timeline of the day and worked quickly to capture everything we asked. We received our wedding album online the day we landed from our honeymoon - since then we can't stop staring at the beautiful pictures. We highly recommend Mary and would totally book with her again! Thanks Mary!

Mary ticked all the boxes

Mary was a last-minute discovery whose Instagram page I was fortunate to stumble upon a few weeks before our tea ceremony. I was looking for a photographer who could capture candid, raw emotion in photos; work in small, crowded spaces; and adjust well to different types of lighting. We were holding the tea ceremony in November in two houses crammed with over 40 people, so we knew space was limited and natural light would be a challenge. Mary ticked all the boxes.

I had only spoken to her once on the phone before she came to shoot our tea ceremony but it felt like talking to an old friend. Not only that, but she’s a positive, ball of energy that both our families loved. We couldn’t help but smile when we were around her (this made taking portraits a breeze!).

When she sent us our complete, edited gallery just few days after our tea ceremony, we were utterly stunned. First of all, by the quick turnaround, and secondly, by the photos she delivered. It was hard for us to believe that a single photographer was able to move around undetected in the tight spaces where we held our ceremony and capture the variety of shots that she did within two hours.

We received her gallery link while we were at my in-laws’ house so we were able to flip through it that evening with family that was still in town from the wedding. It was such a special moment and the reactions were priceless. Mary is extraordinary and we’re so lucky to have booked her!
