Brown Mountain Beach Resort Wedding Lenoir NC | Sydney and Derek

Surrounded by the mountains, beach and fall north carolina sky, Sydney and Derek tie the knot.

Mary is AMAZING. She photographed our wedding in Lenoir, NC on September 3rd, 2022 and we couldn't be happier with how our photos turned out! Our love was captured in its truest, realest form, and nothing felt forced or posey. I especially appreciated the mix of traditional photos with the magazine-worthy artistic shots.
I also was so excited to see so many detail shots! As a bride, I spent months planning all my decor and flowers etc, but barely had time to see everything the day of. So happy to see the gorgeous setup in our photos!

In short, if you're thinking about booking Mary Bird, do it! Not only were the photos perfect, but Mary and her second photographer / husband Joe are incredibly cool, down to earth, GREAT people! They perfectly tailored the photographs to the entire vibe of the weekend, and captured so many wonderful moments that we will treasure for years to come.

Charlotte, NC Backyard Intimate Wedding | Lindsey and Jake

Lindsey and Jake had spent months cultivating a stunning garden in their Charlotte, NC backyard, which served as the perfect backdrop for their special day.  I was thrilled to capture the love and joy surrounding them as they exchanged vows before their closest friends and family.

I had the pleasure of photographing Lindsey and Jake's backyard wedding in Charlotte, North Carolina.

“Jake and I are college sweethearts and have been together for 10.5 years. We love our two kitties, board games, and gardening.”

They spent months cultivating a stunning garden in their backyard, which served as the perfect backdrop for the day.  I was honored to document the love surrounding them as they exchanged vows before their closest friends and family.


The sun was shining brightly that day, casting a warm glow. They may be really warm summers here in North Carolina, but the light is unmatched. As I moved around the garden, I focused on capturing the small details that made their wedding unique, from the hand-picked flowers to the homemade cocktails.

Food and drinks and laughs were shared at the intimate back and front yard reception. I fell in love with the pizza that they chose to cater the wedding, King Of Fire Pizza. Go check them out if you haven’t already!

Enjoy the gallery, and please hire me if you and your partner want to get married in your backyard!!
