Mark Mirocha Photography

Right from the start, we were impressed with Mark’s professionalism. I contacted him via his website after seeing all of his glowing reviews and within hours, he replied. Responsiveness, check!
Mark photographed our family at a beautiful park in Portland, one which he had suggested. In depth knowledge of the Portland area, check! Throughout the whole photoshoot, Mark was so patient with our 2.5 year old and 5 month old. He even walked around with a burp rag in his back pocket because our baby kept spitting up. The whole shoot went by so fast because we were having so much fun chatting with Mark. He was so sweet and fun that we wanted to ask him out for a beer afterwards!
After the shoot, Mark emailed us a few photos right away and we received the rest of them after only 3 days. That is impressive! The pictures are absolutely gorgeous and we are so happy to finally have some nice family pictures for our walls.

My fiancé and I were looking for a professional photographer to take our engagement photos while we were on a mini-​vacation in Portland. Living in the Bay Area, everything back home is ridiculously expensive. We were so lucky and grateful to have found Mark! His services were within our budget, and by looking at his online portfolio we saw that his photography style and the mood he captures in his photos matched exactly what we were looking for. We were impressed by his timely email communication and the effort he put into scouting out locations based on our requests. I’m glad he did this because he found out early on that one location I requested didn’t allow professional photography! We were able to plan ahead and make the most of our time together.
And if you’re like me and have no idea what to do with your body, hands, or face during the photo shoot, Mark does a great job of sharing his ideas for natural poses and facial expressions. He’s also great at capturing those special, candid moments. His friendly and easy-​going nature helped us relax and feel more comfortable in front of the camera.
Within two weeks, we received our digital files and couldn’t be more impressed! You can tell that he does this more for the enjoyment of it than for the money. I highly recommend Mark for your photography needs. Thank you so much!

I hired Mark to take photos of our newborn on the recommendation of a friend. I had a great experience with him. He responded quickly to my inquiry, had no problem coming to our home for the shoot, and was understanding the few times we had to calm a fussy baby. The turn around time to receive the photos was quick (about two weeks) and his fee is very reasonable. I’m glad to have found Mark. I look forward to working with him again in the future.

I hired Mark to take photos of my family this fall and he was all around wonderful. He was very prompt in his communication and very accommodating in terms of time and location. He even arrived extra early in order to scout out the location so he could find the perfect spots for us to take the pictures-​which wasn’t easy since it was raining!
The pictures came back extremely bright and cheerful and all 8 of us were really happy with the photos.
I would absolutely recommend Mark to friends and family!

Mark did a couple’s portrait session for us, and the entire experience was awesome. He was very communicative and professional in arranging the shoot. The day of, he was extremely pleasant to work with, and the photos we ended up with are fantastic. I would definitely recommend him to any of my friends, and would hire him again should we need another session some day in the future.

If you are looking for a wedding photographer, look no further: HIRE MARK! If I could give him 10 stars out of 5, I would. He’s that good. No complaints, only never-​ending compliments. He is without a doubt the most amazing wedding photographer ever. Not only is he a charismatic, happy, pleasant and friendly person but he takes wonderful photos. I’m not an expert in photography, but I knew I wanted to get great photos from my wedding that would capture the moment and tell the story of the wedding to people that weren’t there. Mark did that. I hate being bossed around but I also wanted an expert who knew the best angles, shots, and locations. He also promptly responded to my hundreds of emails and phone calls asking about the most important photos and lots of questions (ex. for me, «First Look» is the essential photograph that needs to be taken along with pictures of the families, bridesmaids, groomsmen, key guests and also the special details that made our wedding unique). On your wedding day, or any other special occasion that you want photographed, the last thing you want is to micro-​manage someone or be micro-​managed. With Mark, you have nothing to worry about. He does it all and he makes it an enjoyable experience. Honestly, the photos he took were breathtaking and I can’t stop checking through all of the photos to bring me back to the best day of my life. Also, there is no down side to hiring Mark. He is an all-​around great guy and a professional and talented photographer. Thank you Mark for being an excellent photographer and capturing the beauty, happiness, special moments and happy memories from my special day. YOU ROCK!

We hired Mark Mirocha as our wedding photographer. I can’t speak more highly of him. Our wedding photos are absolutely breathtaking. He was everything I could have hoped for in a wedding photographer.
Not only is he extremely talented, but Mark went the extra mile in delivering customer service. He didn’t try to upsell us on additional hours, «upgraded packages,» or other services/​products we did not need. He was straight forward about his pricing and went the extra mile to get us our photos after the wedding.
He worked with us on our contract when we expressed concerns. He showed up an hour early to our wedding venue because it was supposed to rain that day, just so he could scout photo locations. I can’t tell you how much we enjoyed working with him.
My husband and I absolutely recommend Mark Mirocha as a wedding photographer. We have 100 percent confidence in him. We will be hiring him again in a few years to take family portraits.

I hired Mark as our wedding photographer and could not have been happier with his work. His photography speaks for itself: he is clearly a highly skilled photographer with a great eye for composition, lighting, and color. What his photos don’t tell you is how great he is at putting the subjects of his photos at ease. During our pre-​ceremony photo shoot, his laid-​back attitude and personability helped us ease our nerves and relax so we could be ourselves in front of the camera. During the ceremony and reception, he was so inconspicuous I didn’t even realize he was there. The candid photos he shot demonstrate his ability to truly capture the moment without interfering in it. I enthusiastically and without reservation recommend Mark as a professional photographer!

Hiring Mark was the best and easiest wedding-​related decision that we made. Thanks to Mark’s expert photography skills, looking at our wedding photos is now our favorite pastime. Mark is an all around lovely person — genuine, creative, gentle, smart, reliable. We could go on (and on), but I’m sure you get the point. From our first emails to the final product (759 polished photos), the entire experience of working with Mark is a happy one for us. Most importantly, Mark was able to document all of the special moments and details from our wedding day. We feel honored to have had Mark as our wedding photographer, and even luckier to have him as a friend.

I worked with Mark for both my engagement session at the Woodburn Tulip Festival and for my backyard wedding in McMinnville. He was amazing to work with and his photos will be cherished for my lifetime.
While my new hubby and I have disagreements on some things, we are both on the same page with choosing Mark for our photography — we were delighted with the results.
In looking at his gallery online, we noticed he captured people’s personalities and that is definitely his gift. There are no staging «Pinterest» moments that everyone wants and every photog uses as an old stand by. He goes with the flow, blends in, and captures what needs to be captured.
I would highly suggest this photographer for anyone looking into capturing the true essence of their special day.
