Storytelling in motion — from wedding films to brand stories and documentary-style vlogging.
Motion is a natural extension of my approach to photography. The same focus on light, atmosphere, and real moments carries into film.
Much of this work is created alongside my twin sister Melissa Payne, where we blend visual storytelling with music, interviews, and documentary-style filmmaking. Together, we create films that feel personal, immersive, and honest.
Our projects range from wedding films and personal storytelling to commercial video work for brands, tourism campaigns, and plublications

Vlogging & Documentary Projects

Mary is truly one of a kind, and choosing her as our wedding photographer was one of the very best decisions we made. From the very beginning, she was kind, calm, and so genuinely invested in us and our story. On our wedding day, she made everything feel easy and natural, never rushed, never forced, just pure comfort and joy.

"Mary was phenomenal from start to finish. Her eye for detail is incredible — she captured moments so perfectly. The photos are stunning, natural, and full of emotion.
Mary and her second shooter, Nicole, made us feel so comfortable the entire time. They offered great direction without being overbearing, and handled every situation with ease. We even had guests commenting on their hilarious banter and genuine personalities!
Not a single regret working with Mary and can’t wait to work with her again in the future."

"Mary was fantastic and I would highly recommend her. Organized, efficient, professional; she knew what she was doing and got all the photos we wanted with beautiful results. Our wedding was small and casual, so having her expertise contributed to a fun day and a smooth event. I would definitely use her services again."

"Yup. This is the one right here. Will I be using Mary anytime I need a photo shoot in my life (maternity, family, anniversary exc) ? Yes ma’am. Mary did my ceremony and reception (2 separate days) and absolutely blew us away by how comfortable she made us feel. If you Wana feel beautiful, laugh your head off, end up with the most stunning pics ever and make some memories and a new friend hire Mary. Love this chicky!!!"

"We were fortunate enough to have Mary photograph both our engagement shoot and recent wedding. She is kind, fun, personable, and SO talented. We are still in awe of the photos she provided us with. Mary and her second photograph Nicole ensured we were comfortable throughout our wedding and that our day flowed just as we had hoped. We would highly recommend Mary and Nicole!"
