Hi, I’m Mary-Kate and I photograph a bit differently.
I’m a gut-follower. I scan a room and see a scene. I see photographs everywhere.
I’m naturally drawn towards documentary style photography, capturing each celebration as an observer of small moments. The ones that flash in front of us quickly and are gone forever. I’m obsessed with grabbing those precious seconds and turning them into your memories. I’m photographing with your children and your great grandchildren in mind. I don’t put my camera away — it stays out to get those moments that will never happen again. That’s important to me.
I have a background in editorial and fashion portraiture. I pair this with my eye for natural movement and a photo journalistic approach. I’d be honored to tell your story through my eyes.
Your moments, eternal. Let’s dance with forever.

“Framing. Mary-Kate Murphy exploded into our feeds just over a year ago and we’ve been hypnotized ever since. Unapologetic, wild, and yet disciplined in elements of photography, her photos have us wishing we had her eye for a scene. Tilting focus to lock you in on the face of her subject, each of her photos is a mood. Can your photos still tell a story without needing a caption to tell it for you?”

“you are absolutely amazing. these pictures are going to make me cry. I am so happy that I have you to capture all of these special moments for us. you really are the best I mean that.” — nichole lotempio, wedding and engagement
“Mary-Kate was extremely welcoming, personable and professional right from the start! I find these to be really important qualities I look for in a photographer because it’s important to have fun during a photo shoot, while still receiving guidance for poses and objectives. Anyone who is given the opportunity to have their pictures taken by Mary-Kate will be pleased with the end result guaranteed, due to her responsiveness & attention to creative detail. She kept us updated with the editing process & even included some funny photos that normally other photographers might just discard. Overall this experience was unforgettable and we are eternally grateful to have our beautiful photos taken by Mary-Kate!” — rachael koone, engagement
