Hey, I'm Mary! It's nice to meet you. What you must know: (1) I'm a nerd. If you want to talk video games, LOTR or Doctor Who, we HAVE to sit down for a bourbon or a coffee. (2) Yes, I will be out on that dance floor with you snapping away while joining in on the fun. And (3), while I'm a photographer first, supporting you during the planning process feels crucial to me - from building a timeline to having your back any way I can. Woman/LGBTQIA+ Owned

You are probably assuming my about me section will have a story about how I always wanted to be a photographer, I came out of the womb holding a camera, but that couldn’t be me. I stumbled into it, literally. I had no plans to become a wedding photographer. I was either going to follow my dad’s path and go to dental school, or become a social worker. But a freshman in college decided to shoot a few photos for fun, and now over eight years and almost 200 weddings later, I could not imagine myself doing anything else. This is my dream job!

Awarded Best of Zola
Abby wasn’t able to travel to my wedding but she sent her assistants and she edited the photos. It went absolutely perfect. The photos were beautiful and I got so many meaningful photos with my family and his family that I wouldn’t have thought to get. I sent her draft of a timeline and the photographers printed it out and had it to make sure the photos I wanted got done. They were absolutely amazing. Thank you so much to Abby and her team.

I have been taking photos since I was young. My love for photography really began after my high school yearbook/journalism class! I started taking photos on my own in 2022 on my mom’s camera. A simple hobby quickly became my passion, and then became Touch of Grace! After moving to Morris from southern Illinois, I quickly made so many new friends through photography. Since then my brand has exponentially grown. I am so excited to continue to watch Touch of Grace grow!

Touch of Grace felt more than a professional wedding photographer. She felt like a friend throughout the whole process. We were very comfortable and she was very accommodating in every twist and turn that comes with a wedding. She even stayed extra time to capture our cake cutting! We gave her our images and she was able to quickly navigate between each one efficiently. What makes Touch of Grace so special is the final editing. We were taken back at the marvelous work and attention to detail. Thank you Grace for capturing our special day and giving us everlasting memories!
