the details
Every detail matters to me. Because capturing you in an authentic way is so important to me, I take the time to truly get to know you as a couple. Your comfort level, family dynamics, and what you value most.
I want you to look and feel like your best self.

the approach
As a documentary style wedding photographer, I focus on capturing the in-between moments. Moments you want to remember - like your spouses hand on your lower back in a moment of affection, or your guests watching you from afar. Adding in some intentional motion blur & grain, your final gallery is a timeless and nostalgic representation of your love story.

“Marybeth is the type of person who makes you feel comfortable instantly! I’ve worked with a lot of photographers and her personality is one of a kind which truly reflects in our photos. We could not stop laughing and carrying on… I felt like I’ve known her forever! I felt so at ease and like the pressure was off. We’ve gotten so many compliments that our photos look like they’re straight out of a rom com.. which is the exact vision I had and it is EXACTLY what she brought. Her moody, carefree, candid work is truly so special and I can’t wait to work with her again!”
documentary with an editorial touch
My approach is documentary-style, with natural and comfortable posing, as well as some editorial inspired images.
I absolutely guide you through portraits and important moments such as first looks, but I allow many moments to happen naturally, capturing your wedding day in an honest way.
This means that your moments are captured the way that they are actually happening, steering away from staging moments.
I aim to capture things in an artful & editorial way through compostion, framing, unique angles & posing.
kind words
Would highly recommend Marybeth for all of your wedding photographer needs. We had an untraditional wedding and Marybeth captured everything about the night that made it unique to us. She got great photos of not only us (the bride & groom) but also of our guests. She is incredibly communicative, has a great eye for detail, and is truly everything I wanted in a wedding photographer. The quick turnaround with sneak peeks was a huge plus. We had so much fun reliving the night through her photos.
I can't say enough good things about Marybeth. I just got my entire photo gallery back from our wedding and we are truly in awe at how beautiful the photos are. Marybeth is so talented - I trusted her style and vision and was not disappointed. She captured the day perfectly, and we will be forever thankful. She also sent us sneak peaks the morning after which was such a nice thing to have to show everyone in the morning. All of our friends and family have given us so many compliments on the pictures. Marybeth is amazing - I would book her again and again.
What does Documentary-Style Photography truly mean?
People often think “candid” "and “documentary” mean just photos that look and feel less posed and more natural. But to me, it is so much more than that. Documentary means capturing the day as it is truly happening + not interfering in intimate moments. It means I have my “head on a swivel,” constantly watching and waiting for the perfect moment that can’t be recreated to be able to capture it organically - while planning your timeline intentionally to reflect what you want your wedding day to look and feel like, and allowing us to lean into the real and raw moments.
