I'm Mary Catherine!
Hey, there!
When I’m not behind the camera, or working as an Occupational Therapist in the hospital, I’m soaking up sunshine, sipping something cold on the patio, or curled up under a blanket with my husband, Michael, and our golden retriever, Mahalo. We love calling Ohio home, but we’re always up for an adventure—Hawaii has completely stolen our hearts! Whether we're relaxing on tropical beaches or hiking through the mountains of Washington, exploring new places together is one of my favorite ways to recharge and reconnect.
My love language is quality time, and I thrive when I’m surrounded by kind, joyful, and uplifting people. That’s one of the reasons I cherish this work so much—I get to meet the most incredible couples and celebrate with them during one of the most exciting seasons of their lives.
As a Cleveland Ohio Wedding Photographer, I specialize in a light and airy style that brings out the beauty of each unique love story. I’m love natural light, golden hour magic, and capturing moments that feel joyful, genuine, and completely you. Because I believe your photos should reflect not just how your day looked—but how it felt.

Loves golden hour & golden retrievers
Michael is my best friend and the steady calm to my never-slowing imagination. He is incredibly thoughtful and has the biggest heart—whether he’s helping his patients as a physical therapist in the hospital or encouraging his track athletes, he brings so much care and intention to everything he does! We met in college (thanks to my brother), fell in love, and spent over six years navigating long distance while we pursued our grad school dreams. We got married in October 2020, and doing life together has been the greatest blessing!
And then there’s Mahalo—our fluffy, sunshine-loving golden retriever who brings laughter and tail wags wherever she goes... Her name means an "expression of gratitude" in Hawaiian, which seemed so fitting for the joy she’s brought into our lives! She’s goofy, excitable, and always up for an adventure (or a nap on the couch). Whether we’re going for a sunset walk, road-tripping somewhere new, or just playing fetch in the yard, life feels brighter with her around.
These two mean the world to me, and they’re a big part of the heart behind everything I do!
Meet our little family
A little bit more about me...
- I’m a recovering perfectionist learning to slow down, embrace peace, and enjoy life’s little moments—especially quiet, sunny mornings.
- I adore hydrangeas, golden hour, and all things light, airy, and natural.
- I’m slightly obsessed with Chipotle (perfectly salted chips + guac = yes please).
- My go-to Starbucks order? A Strawberry Açaí Refresher—refreshing and just the right amount of sweet.
- I’m obsessed with Coldplay—their music has been the soundtrack to so many meaningful moments in my life, and our first dance at our wedding was to "Amazing Day."
Whether we’re hiking up a mountain for your engagement photos or laughing our way through golden hour portraits in a field of wildflowers, I’m here to make sure you feel celebrated, seen, and truly yourself in front of the camera.
Thanks for stopping by—I can’t wait to hear your story and dream up something beautiful together!
