Hi, I'm a Storyteller.

Thank you for stopping in. I'm Mary Kathryn, and my goal is to tell your story. Whether you're getting married, getting a degree, or just getting to love yourself, I'd like to document every second. I grew up on stories: telling them while working for various newspapers and magazines, witnessing them all over the world, and illustrating them with still images for over a decade now. My greatest love in life is taking a step back and getting to see them play out all around me every single day, and most especially with my amazing clients turned friends.


I'd love to get to illustrate your story as well. The story you tell you friends next week, the story you tell your parents at Christmastime, and the story you tell your grandkids in however many years. Isn't every story better told in a picture book? Let's fill up that photo album together and tell those stories in a way that's authentically stunning.


So what do I offer?

“When words become unclear, I shall focus with photographs. When images become inadequate, I shall be content with silence.”


Client Testimonials

Wedding Client


"I can not say enough great things about MKC Photography! She is professional, present, and knows exactly what she’s doing. She captured every special moment of our wedding day! I loved the range of photos I received from the portraits to the ceremony and reception, and all the details in between! Not only did she focus on photos of my husband and I but our guests as well! I am so happy we chose MKC Photography!" - Hannah Montgomery

Graduate Client


"MK is great and you really get every penny you pay for! Not only was I so happy with my gallery, my family was astounded with it. Looking back on the experience, I had so much fun! MK incorporated my personality into my gallery and even made me get out of my comfort zone to capture amazing shots. She also made it a priority to get the images and pictures that I wanted. In the beginning I was really timid and nervous and she made me feel so comfortable so quickly into the session. She is definitely one of the best Tuscaloosa has to offer!" - Connor Jefferson
