REAL MOMENTS FOR REAL PEOPLE
What’s the point unless it’s true?
From the way we document to the way we edit, we’re striving to create vivid photos that showcase the hard-won beauty of real life. We believe in honest images of a real story. Your grandkids will thank you.
WHAT WE DO
Most of us don’t feel comfortable with a camera in our face. We don’t like how we look because we’ve been conditioned to “say cheese”, and pose in front of the camera. Literally: put on a face. There is an art to getting people to feel confident and themselves with a camera right in front of them—we’ve spent the last 13 years honing in on that specific skill because we love images that tell the truth about who a person is.
My Name is Peter Mahar
and if you don’t want super-posed, stiff, and impersonal photos, but exciting, vivid photos that capture who you are and what really happened—then I can’t wait to meet with you!
LIVING
IS BEAUTIFUL.
Full wedding stories
We blog every wedding with the intention of each post being a complete set of images that tell the whole story of the couple’s day. Our hope is that complete strangers could look at any one of them and feel the wedding day as they see each moment. We believe these types of photos are what will last and be cherished for generations.
