Anthony + Lauren | Cottage Grove Wedding


Louis and I went down to Cottage Grove, Oregon for Anthony & Lauren’s wedding. Louis dominated video and it was especially fun for me getting some wintery black & whites. Loved some of their answers about wedding planning from their questionnaire! Anthony and Lauren did a great job making their day about the people they love and not about fussiness.

What were three things you learned in the wedding planning process you wish you knew before?: 1. Start your guest list the day after you get engaged; it will take the longest.
2. Communicate with family
3. Rsvps will take longer than you think, but they will come in, don't stress!

What are three things you chose to do that you still think were a very good idea? : 

1. 10 year rule--what will matter in 10 years? Spend your budget on the things you will remember in 10 years, the relationships you will have in 10 years, and the things that will last in 10 years.
2. Organization is key, you can never over-organize.
3. Book your major vendors first and then work with the budget from there.

I'm Peter Mahar, a professional wedding photographer based in Portland, Oregon. I grew up the youngest in crazy family of six--which was great, because I got to make my brothers and sisters laugh, and not-so-great, because I had to sit in the back of the van on the seat with the stupid bump in the cushion. I make pizza and talk a lot. I'm part Italian, so I use a lot of gestures (especially during photo shoots). I love deep conversations, a good fire, and a glass of wine. But most of all, I love Jesus, because He's great and I'm not.
