nice to meet you

Hello, I'm Mary, a Washington state-based fine art photographer with a passion for storytelling through captivating imagery. Photography has been woven into the fabric of my life since childhood. I vividly remember yearning for my own camera to capture the beauty of the world around me. When that dream became a reality in adulthood, it opened up a world of opportunities to connect with people and document their stories through my lens.

Since 2011, I've had the privilege of photographing numerous weddings, each one a unique tapestry of moments and emotions. My approach to photography is deeply rooted in capturing authentic moments and genuine emotions. From the tender exchange of vows to the joyous laughter shared during celebrations, I aim to immortalize every meaningful detail. Whether it's the warmth of a grandfather's embrace or the playful antics during cake cutting, I'm dedicated to preserving the essence of each cherished moment.

about me

 “
In 2018, my family and I moved from Ukraine to the beautiful Pacific Northwest. We're raising our wonderful kids, Stasey, Tim, and our yellow Labrador, Archie. Faith is important to us, and our church feels like a big family. Every summer, we love traveling to the US National Parks, enjoying nature and each other's company.

Exploring the parks is a highlight for us, and I also love gardening, taking care of roses and hydrangeas, and going for long drives with Archie. I often bring my film camera on trips to capture the stunning scenery and animals - I have a big collection of these photos! Weekends are for spending quality time with my kids and friends, playing board games together. I believe life is a gift from God and try to savor every moment. Our lives are filled with these beautiful moments!
