About

On WeddingWire since 2014

Peter Mahar Photography is based in Oregon City, Oregon, and offers wedding photography services. We take weddings very seriously, which means we do everything we can to make sure our couples have the most stress-free, fun-filled day possible. That allows us to get candid and honest moments of your day. We also think marriage should be a huge celebration with friends and family with a lot of great food, drinks, and maybe a slip and slide. If our work resonates with you then we would love to buy you a cup of coffee, beer, or martini (all of them at once?) and see how we can help!

Services Offered

We specialize in capturing the natural and unscripted moments at weddings. Our main mission is to allow couples to feel at ease - this means that we can document the candid smiles and the in-between moments. We don't like stiff, posed photos. We love it when couples squeeze each others' butts, whisper in each other's ears, and just have fun together. We do everything we can to make sure you have a stress-free and amazing wedding day--whether that’s keeping a cold drink in your hand, finding you food, or telling Uncle Joe you guys need some space.

The best there is!

Peter's photos from our wedding masterfully captured the natural joy from the day. When searching for a photographer, we gravitated toward his work because of his focus on the candid moments rather than prepared scenes, and we are beyond thrilled with work he did. His fun, improvised direction in first look and family photos got everyone looking their best, and the colors in his shots are vivid, vibrant and beautiful. Based on our experience and what we've seen from other weddings (sorry!), we think Peter is the best there is!

Exceptional

The beautiful pictures were made by Peter making us feel relaxed and “ourselves”. That came through with his keen eye for lighting, angles, and timing.
Greatly appreciate capturing our special day as if every picture was one in a million.

Absolutely amazing! Fun, easy, and stress-free.

Peter is a fantastic photographer! My wife and I hired Peter for our wedding and are so happy we did - not only because the photos were amazing but how Peter was able to capture the intimate moments without making us feel like we were under a spot light the whole time. He was fun to work with and really took the stress out of the whole process. He was also willing to work with us on our budget and timeline and was a huge help to keep us organized on our actual wedding day. On top of all that, he was a joy to have at the wedding and seemed to have a fun time celebrating with us. He really helped make the day unforgettable. I would recommend Peter to anyone who's feels a little awkward in front of the camera and to everyone looking for an expert photographer who makes the whole process fun and easy. Thanks again, Peter!

Peter and his wife photographed an event here at Lakeside Gardens this Summer, and I hope to see them here again soon! Peter was organized, professional, and very friendly. His turn-around on editing the photos was lightening quick, and they were beautiful! I would feel confident recommending him to our brides!
