I specialize in film and video creation for commercial, weddings, live events, and short length documentary work. Since the age of three, I have been a storyteller through the art of dance, sparking my enjoyment of creating ever since.
In 2020, I graduated from The University of Georgia's Film and Media program with a minor in Human Development and Family Sciences.
I am based in Savannah Georgia, and my work is based primarily on the East Coast.
A Little About Me

MY Philosophy ...
My goal is to make all my clients feel seen, heard, and valued. Being on camera is not an everyday occurrence, and I strive to create a culture of comfort.
Whether it is your wedding day or commercial work, my value is to bring you quality work that will serve your vision.
Kind words
“Mary Clare is amazing! She communicated with me throughout the entire process to make sure I was getting everything I wanted! She was always easy to get in touch with, and wants the best for her clients! Her team is also amazing - I specifically got to also work with Drew, and he did a great job! They definitely go above and beyond in all they do!”
— Meredith James; Bride

“Mary Clare was hands down the best wedding decision we made! She was there from start of the planning process and made sure she got every detail we wanted. My husband hates being in front of the camera and she made him feel so comfortable! We have recommended MC to all of our friends and family.”

MY FAVOURITE THINGS
- Your Story Will Be Different
Disney Movies still Make me Cry (a one-liner, fun quirk that makes you, you)
Here’s where you can delve further into your favourite things outside of wedding photography – everyone might be able to be a photographer, but there’s little quirks that make you unique – chat about that.
Maybe you can talk about your favourite hobbies, food, art or leisure activities. What you do to wind down when you’re not shooting – pets, your family, your hometown.
You can also use this opportunity to rehash your love for travelling – a great way for you to subtly remind them that you’re open to shooting destination weddings.
Remember to wrap up this section by tying it back into wedding photography. For example, “That’s a little sneak peek into my life and a few of my favourite things. No matter who and where we are, we’re all souls wandering this beautiful earth, with a different story to share. No tale is one and the same. And that’s why I LOVE documenting love stories (and hopefully yours too!)”
Behind the Lens
- Your Story Will Be Different
Uncover your overall approach to the day and an overview of your process. Help them picture what it’s like to have you there on the day and why what you do is so important. Mention how you’ll help them ensure the day flows smoothly, because you’ve had loads of experience at other weddings.
For example, talk about how you’ll arrive at first light to capture the mother-of-the-bride and the bridal squad helping the bride get ready. Or the groomsmen sneaking a few drinks to calm their nerves.
Chat about how you’ll turn up after one too many coffees, buzzing with energy to capture one of the most important, memorable days in their lives, and that you won’t miss a moment.
Write about documenting the getting ready prep through to ceremony, reception and afterparty (if relevant). How you’ll be there in the centre of it all or as a wallflower behind the scenes, photographing moments and details that they might’ve missed (e.g. Aunty Doris getting drunk on the d-floor). Whether you stick to purely candid shots or will pose them for styled shots.
Rain, hail or shine, I won’t miss a beat
