As a girl, Mary Kate Anthony fell in love with photography through National Geographic's travel and nature books at the library. By high school she was shooting sessions for her friends and family.
It was around then that Mary Kate began discerning whether her beloved hobby should—or could—become a career.
Two weeks after graduating high school, she shot her first wedding and, through prayer, made the bold decision to defer starting college for a year in order to focus on her photography. Almost a decade later, Mary Kate's full-time business has lead her to photograph Catholic weddings all over the East Coast and Midwest.
From Mary Kate:
I believe in pursuing authentic life and telling real stories with all their unfiltered a raw emotions, their imperfections and quirks, and everything in between—because I know that every single person has a unique story that is wildly beautiful. And I believe that each person deserves to have their story told.
I am a romantic and dreamer chasing all things good, true and beautiful, especially mountains, sunsets, Chick-Fil-A, and—of course—weddings.
"To love another person is to see the face of God," wrote Victor Hugo. This sums up my philosophy of photography in eleven simple words. I truly believe each person I encounter is radiantly beautiful, because I know the profound truth that they were made uniquely in the image and likeness of God.
It is such a privilege and joy to get to know each couple who entrusts their wedding photography to me. Each and every one of my couples become so much more to me than clients. I fall in love with them, with their story, their families, and their love for each other. On their wedding day, I become a friend whom they can laugh, cry, and be themselves with. I am there to hold their grandma’s hand, to give tissues to their moms, and to assist with anything and everything I can. With a rich theological understanding of marriage, I view weddings as sacred events that I am beyond privileged to witness, let alone capture with my camera.
