about mary dougherty

fine art wedding PHOTOGRAPHER

Starting in the darkroom, Mary has studied photography, art, and design spanning more than two decades of her life. Her classical training, innate creativity, and love for connecting with others, has formulated her signature style—rich with emotion, movement, and refinement. Most importantly, her images are a reflection of the profound love you have cultivated.

Photographing your life with intention

so you can revel in the moment.

Mary was an absolute dream to work with. She so seamlessly captured the magic of our wedding while also allowing us to stay present in the weekend. We are absolutely obsessed with all of our wedding photos and she even helped us capture our elopement to Italy on film. I cannot recommend working with her enough!

Natalia + Nick,
Lake Placid Winter wedding

I absolutely loved working with Mary. She is not only incredibly talented but great to work with and really makes your wishes feel heard and your vision come to life!

As an interior designer, I have a clear aesthetic and the editorial and candid quality of her images was perfect for us.

Laurie + Jesse,
Gather Greene wedding

Mary did an amazing job with our wedding, we couldn’t be happier!

We love that she traveled to Martha’s Vineyard for our engagement photos. She coached and guided us to make sure we captured beautiful and interesting images, as we had never taken professional photos as a couple before.
