My husband and I can not say enough great things about Mary! She did our engagement and wedding photos, and was friendly, warm, and incredibly easy to work with from day #1. My husband and I were both a bit nervous posing for our engagement photos, but she instantly felt like a friend and made the whole experience relaxed and fun. She was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout the planning process, and by the time our wedding came around, we didn't have to worry about a thing! Mary captured so many special details from our wedding, and got all the pictures we had asked for - we will cherish the photos forever :)

Mary did our engagement and wedding photos, and we just LOVED her! My husband is generally uncomfortable in front of a camera, but she really captured the essence of our relationship. For our engagement session, she scouted locations ahead of time, and was willing to hike and climb around in the bushes to get the perfect shot. Through the whirlwind of our wedding day, she also managed to photograph all of the little details and little moments that we would have likely forgotten otherwise. Mary is so fun to work with, and had our edited photos back to us super quickly.

Mary Gowen did our engagement and wedding photography for us. It's hard for me to talk about her without gushing! From our initial email conversations all the way to getting our photos, Mary was always professional, organized, and friendly.

Our engagement session was fun and reflected our personalities. My now-husband really doesn't like having his picture taken but Mary made us both feel at ease and made it a fun experience.

At our wedding, Mary captured all of our special moments in a beautiful way all day. From the big ones like the first kiss and first dance, to little ones like my in-laws dancing and my mom laughing. It was so nice to just focus on getting married and let Mary be creative and capture it all. You want someone you trust and feel comfortable with when you're putting on your dress, having your first look, signing your marriage license... and Mary is the perfect photographer for that.

And then, of course, she made us look really good.

Like I said, it's hard to talk about Mary without sounding like I'm gushing, but it's true! We LOVE our wedding and engagement pictures and Mary was a treat to work with!
