“If I could get married again just to hire Mary as my photographer, I would do it in a heartbeat. Her presence at both my elopement as well as the big day helped shape the entire atmosphere of our experience. As soon as she arrived, we felt at ease. Her gentle demeanour and peaceful involvement made the experience so comfortable and effortless, we were genuinely just able to enjoy ourselves. Mary has a way of making you feel the moment through photography.

She is also the most patient and understanding photographer, which was very appreciated by this very “type B” bride. When we called her asking if she’d be game to turn our engagement session into a secret elopement, not only was she excited and on board, but she changed her entire schedule to travelled to be there with us.

I call Mary my “comfort photographer” because of the way she makes me feel while getting my photo taken. Mary has a way of making you feel warm and serene in even the most stressful situations (like driving to make the last Gulf Island ferry sailing, or tying the knot in torrential downpour) feel like a literal walk in the park. And she’ll still point out something beautiful along the way.

Mary is not only someone I would happily work with again, but someone I would genuinely just sit and have coffee with to make my day better. If you have the opportunity to work with her, grab it with both hands and be prepared to feel supported and celebrated every step of the way.”
