Mario is a true professional and a very talented photographer.
We were looking for photos with a bit of a darker, moodier feel as opposed to super light and airy and his style fit perfectly.
He was very organized and helped us create a photography timeline to keep us on track. He was also flexible with what we wanted (all posed photos done before cocktail hour so we wouldn't miss time with our guests) and he customized the shots he took to what we wanted (fewer traditional posed photos and more candids and "fun" shots).
On the day of the wedding, we had a couple glitches at the getting ready venue and he handled the delayed timeline and very large bridal party with ease.
He has a calming presence and was very patient with our large group.
He also did our engagement photos and worked with us to create the exact at-home scene and vibe we were looking for.
We highly recommend Mario! I'm including a few of our favorite photos but it was hard to choose because he took so many beautiful shots!
Cannot recommend Mario and his team enough! As someone who isn’t a huge fan of being in front of the camera, I was very nervous that every photo would come out looking like I was scared and uncomfortable. Luckily for me, that was not the case. Mario is a photographer that is dedicated to his craft and knows how to make everyone feel comfortable and most importantly HAVE FUN! We had planning sessions where we discussed timelines, shot lists, what to expect and more, which helped streamline getting all the photos done and feeling confident that we would be where we needed to be when we needed to be there. Mario and his assistant were so wonderful, everyone has complemented both how they navigated the space and captured the evening so well. I highly recommend 7Nine Photography and hope to work with Mario again when we are in town. Thank you SO much!
Mario is a consummate professional and an extremely talented photographer/videographer. Hiring 7Nine was one of the best wedding decisions we made.
Any questions?
Mario from 7Nine Photography is truly exceptional and finding him to capture our special day was an absolute blessing! Mario exudes a warm and inviting energy that you feel the moment you engage in conversation with him. His passion for his craft is evident, and if you’re looking for someone who will take care of you and do right by you, Mario is your go-to photographer.
From his meticulous attention to detail during the planning stages to his professionalism and infectious enthusiasm on the day of our wedding, Mario surpassed our expectations in every way. He made us feel at ease, and his presence added to the joy of our celebration.
We’re eagerly looking forward to seeing our wedding photos and video because we just know Mario crushed it every step of the way. We can’t thank him enough for making our memories so beautifully unforgettable!
Mario was a dream to work with! He set us up with Christian who was so professional and accommodating. Our wedding day started out with a down pour and he was so great about taking amazing photographs while making sure I didn’t get soaked before I walked down the aisle. Thankfully the skies parted right before the ceremony and the sun came out! The moment it cleared up he went to work getting the most amazing content and the most beautiful photographs. Christian truly went above and beyond. At one point I ran down to the dock to grab my cousin because I wanted her to dance with me to a particular song and he chased after me to make sure that he didn’t miss a photo op if one arose haha the absolute best!!!! I cannot wait to see the photos!!!
Mario absolutely blew me away with our wedding photos. Leading up to the wedding, he was great at answering any and all of our questions and I felt super confident in his work come the day of. On wedding day, he was super kind, worked great with everyone, and captured way more than I could even imagine. We got our wedding photos back very quickly and the deliverables were so beautiful! I am so incredibly glad we chose 7Nine to capture the unforgettable moments of our day! 10/10!
Mario from 7Nine Photography did a perfect job on our wedding photos at the Tybee Island Wedding Chapel in April. He was professional, on time, easy to work with, and the photos are absolutely beautiful and everything I hoped for and more. I cannot recommend him enough! He was easy to work with from start to finish and we got our photos quickly after the wedding. He perfectly captured our special day!
I am a professional content creator so videography and photography were possibly the most important decision of my wedding day. Mario blew my expectations out of the park. The clarity of the photography and videography were unmatched. I just received my wedding video yesterday and I cried, my parents cried again, and my inlaws cried again. He captures the day perfectly so you remember it forever. PS if you can afford it GET THE VIDEO PACKAGE.
7Nine Photography was phenomenal. I can't say enough good things about Mario and the way he captured the whole day. He was on time, efficient with his shot taking, and took initiative with the wedding party. He was extremely friendly and fun with the group, and made us all feel very comfortable. He never got in the way of a special moment, and allowed for him to just flow into the whole day. He was assertive with the family and friends in getting photos taken quickly and efficiently and was on point with the timeline throughout the day. I would hire him again in a heartbeat for a special day. Thank you, Mario!!! It was an absolute pleasure working with you.
Mario was our photographer and videographer for our wedding at Red Gate. He did an absolutely incredible job! We couldn’t have been happier with his communication, organization, or talent. His planning process leading up to the day creates a highly personalized feel and his execution throughout the day keeps things flowing smoothly while still allowing the emotion to unfold naturally. We would recommend him and his talented team without hesitation. Thank you for capturing our special day so beautifully!
Mario exceeded our expectations as our wedding photographer. His professionalism, passion, and artistic vision are evident as he captured every aspect of our day. His ability to find the perfect lighting and angle showcases his talent. Mario's friendly and efficient approach made the entire process enjoyable, and we're beyond grateful for the memories he's given us.
Mario is the perfect choice if you're looking for a photographer who can transform your wedding day into a visual masterpiece. We wholeheartedly recommend him as a wedding photographer.
We had an amazing time with Mario! He was great at communicating and helping us feel comforting during the photos. The pictures turned out beautiful! Highly recommend to anyone needing a photographer in Savannah.
Highly recommended! Mario is amazing to work with. Mario took our engagement photos, wedding photos, and wedding video. Both me and my husband are camera shy but Mario made us feel comfortable and gave great suggestions when we needed them. He is very professional, creative, flexible, and is a pleasure to work with. All the photos and video are absolutely amazing. We laughed and teared up as we re-lived our wedding day through the photos and video.
7NINE is your photographer for your wedding!
Mario is awesome! They go above and beyond.
Professional, patient and creative. Thank you Mario for making my daughter’s wedding day one we will not forget!
Mario was awesome! He made us both feel really comfortable the whole day. We love our video so much, and we will cherish it forever. I can’t wait to show our kids one day!
We used Mario's photography services for our February 2022 wedding in Savannah, GA. Mario is so amazing, professional, creative, talented, fun, and caring. Mario worked within our limited photography budget and assured us that he could get as many photos as needed within our time constraint. Even last minute when things changed, as they always change, Mario was calm, professional, and flexible with us. He made taking photos for so many hours easy, fun, and exciting! We just received our photos and oh my gosh, AMAZING! Everyone that has seen them is absolutely blown away! You can also get your photos printed and framed through his website which is a great option!
He was amazing! We used him for our engagement shoot and we laughed during the entire shoot! Our pictures turned our great! We are going to use him for all of our photos when we return to Savannah!
I am so late in writing this review because.... well life. However, Mario was absolutely amazing for my wedding on Oct 9th of 2021. From the moment we began the process he cared about our story, what our vision was, and what I wanted our wedding day to look like. My husband and I chose Mario for the full 10 hours of the day and for videography both. I wasn't sure about spending that amount of money or if we really needed the video but many friends and family recommended I go with it and I would not regret so I did..... and I am so glad I did it! My pictures were wonderful and he caught so many candid memories, BUT MY VIDEO!!!!!! Yall when I tell you Mario put his heart and soul into my video it was PERFECT!!!! Honestly, I cried again, my husband cried again, and so did all of my friends and family that I sent it to. I highly recommend him and not only for the great picture taking and video, but he has the best personality and works so hard for you.
You will not be disappointed!! I now have the most beautiful wedding photos & video to remember the best day of our lives. 7NINE is so easy to work with and they really listen to (and remember) the client’s wishes. We booked an engagement session because being in front of the camera can be a little awkward at first, and Mario made it so easy and fun for us - highly recommend to get out those pre-wedding jitters! Our wedding photos reflect our personalities and truly tell the story of our perfect day. Highly highly recommend!
My husband and I were more than impressed with Mario's professionism, passion, creativity, and vision. From the beginning from our zoom call, we could tell that Mario really cared about each couple that he works with. He wanted to get to know us to illustrate our love story. Mario answered many of our questions and put our mind at ease to focus on other aspects of the wedding. I was concerned about the wedding party looking awkward or not knowing how to pose. Mario informed us how to stand and pose for the pictures and they came out natural and beautiful. We were blow away by the quality of photos. We would highly recommend Mario to any couple.
Working with Mario was an absolute dream! He was very responsive to my dozens of of questions and was such a relaxed and fun person to work with on my wedding day. He was extremely flexible when we had to extend how many hours we wanted to book with him last minute and I cannot wait to get all of our pictures back! If you are getting married, especially in Savannah, GA, I cannot recommend 7Nine Photography enough!
We had the best experience working with 7Nine Photography! From the first phone call, to timeline planning, to the wedding day, and all of the communication after-it was an amazing experience. We booked 7Nine in the middle of the pandemic (when we weren’t able to meet our vendors in person) after really clicking with Mario over the phone. Our engagement session was the first time we’d taken professional pictures together, but he made us feel like we’d done it hundreds of times! On our wedding day they were on schedule, organized, and so efficient at getting all of the shots we wanted. I hardly noticed they were there throughout the day until we needed posed shots or direction on what to do next. It was perfect, and our family stills talks about how easy it was to work with them. From our engagement pictures, to our wedding album, to the most beautiful wedding video-we couldn’t be happier with all of their work! You can trust the most important day of your life to this awesome team!
Mario and 7Nine Photography were an absolute pleasure to work with. The team photographed our wedding in Savannah, GA in September 2021 and it could not have gone any better. Mario really takes the time to get to know you as a couple prior to photographing your big day. He responds promptly and is very professional. Our guests/wedding party commented on how awesome he and the team were with photos on wedding day. Also, the fact that we could purchase both photography and videography through 7Nine was an added perk. Both our wedding video and pictures are so beautiful. We are so grateful for 7Nine Photography!
My fiancé and I had a blast taking our engagement photos on Tybee Island with Mario. He arrived early and took time to get to know us before the shoot. He made us feel very comfortable in front of the camera and captured very authentic images. I love how the pictures came out and I am very excited to send our wedding invitations out!
Mario took engagement photos for us and our kids. Not only was he very professional, but he was extremely personal as well. The dismissed product was amazing! The photos he captured were very much us with his great artistic flair! We love them! Thanks Mario!
We are absolutely in love with all of the pictures that Mario took for us. Both for our engagement shoot and our wedding day. He perfectly captured the essence of the day - the essence of our relationship. We have so many amazing pictures of every special moment of our wedding day and they are so beautifully composed and edited. There hasn’t been a day since we got them that we haven’t looked at them - they are just spectacular. Mario was on top of everything, rolling with the punches as things got delayed or people needed more time getting ready before pictures. He was everywhere at once, capturing every moment. Several guests remarked on how amazing he was. They noticed how intentional he was in getting all the right images and angles. He went far above and beyond just shooting the elements of the wedding, he really focused on recording the full experience. We are so grateful for all of the amazing images received (and all less than a month after the event, during peak wedding season, no less!) There were some occasions where he took a little longer to reply than other photographers might, but it is such a minor thing and the quality of his work is so superb that he could have taken twice as long to reply and it would have still been beyond worth it! Would absolutely recommend Mario to anyone looking for a quality photographer to capture your day.
Mario did a fantastic job shooting our wedding this July. Picking a photographer was so stressful for us because we really wanted to get it right, but we are SO happy we chose 7Nine! Mario was great to work with right from the beginning - very flexible and relaxed and listened to all our ideas and preferences. Come wedding day things went so smoothly even despite last minute changes in the timeline; several members of our wedding party commented that he made photos very easy and relaxed compared to other weddings they'd been in. He did a great job getting lots of family photos even with our large extended family and we LOVE how all our photos turn out! We can't wait to get our photos printed and hung up in our home.
If you're looking for a professional photographer who's not too hard on the budget and so great & easy to work with - we highly recommend Mario!
Mario did a great job with my daughter’s and future son-in-law‘s engagement photo shoot. He made them feel very comfortable and had great ideas. We were very pleased with the photos! Mario is also very good with communicating and returning messages. My daughter‘s wedding had to be postponed due to the pandemic, and since Mario is unavailable for our new wedding date, he gave us a refund promptly.
We hired Mario to shoot our wedding in June and just had our engagement session. He is so professional, personable and really makes you feel taken care of as a client! I highly recommend 7Nine!
Mario and Crystal are absolutely amazing! Their kind and gentle but fun spirit made for such a wonderful experience on our wedding day. Our photos and wedding video are stunning, too! We will cherish them forever. I would highly recommend!
Mario was awesome! He is so nice and friendly. Very helpful. The booking process was super easy and he helped us decide the best package for our wedding. 10/10 recommend booking with 7Nine Photography.
We loved having Mario and Crystal of 7Nine do our wedding photos and video, as well as engagement photos! They were very easy and fun to work with and all of our pictures and video turned out beautifully. It was obvious that they are passionate about their work and are dedicated to superb customer service. Having a husband/wife duo capture our photos and video was an excellent decision, since Mario and Crystal are used to coordinating and communicating with each other.
Mario was also able to offer thoughtful suggestions about wedding day timelines based on his extension experience with weddings. Our finished files were sent to us in the promised time frame and the format of the final file sharing made it very easy to share with family and friends, including on social media.
Mario was invested in providing us top-notch service from the very start of the process. He took time to get to know us and learn about our wedding day plans and vision. He easily directed us and our guests during our photo shoots to capture all of the shots desired.
I highly recommend 7Nine for an exceptional value, high quality images/video, and awesome customer service!
7Nine is THE company to capture the best moments of your special day! They were amazing from the first phone call to the last. They valued our input as much as we valued theirs. They were punctual from the time they got to the venue to the time they got our photos and video back. They even got a handful of photos edited and set them up for our guests to see during the reception which was a huge plus! The quality of the photos and video were astonishing and they even managed to get a few “personality” shots which I loved! They turned unexpected rain into a blessing with how dreamy the photos turned out and even went the extra mile to find spots where rain wouldn’t be an issue and still have a beautiful setting. I wouldn’t have done anything different and you will not regret trusting them with capturing your special day!
Mario and Diella were wonderful to work with; from the first phone call to the actual wedding day and communication after. They were stress relievers on the wedding day as they worked together to get the perfect shots of our special day. They are so fast at getting pictures uploaded and finished. Our guests loved that they showed pictures at our wedding on their iPad. Their pictures are simply breathtaking and definitely capture the day. 100% would recommend!!
Working with Mario was absolutely fantastic! He was patient, full of great ideas, and captured my spouse and I in the best experience we had imagined! I will reccomend him to all of my family and friends and feel so grateful that we chose him to memorialize our big day. Couldnt be happier with the results and album!
Mario and Crystal were absolutely wonderful to work with! They are both so professional, talented, and have a great “eye” to capture those unique and special shots. Due to COVID, we had to postpone our original wedding date, and 7Nine went above and beyond to ensure our day was perfect. Highly recommend!
Mario was fantastic! He's super flexible to the schedule of the day and gives great direction too, especially since we are both (fiance and I) not photogenic. Pictures turned out beautiful with great moments I didn't think were captured. Pictures during the ceremony were perfect and he wasn't in the way or intrusive. Highly recommend. 10 stars
Mario was amazing to work with. He made my husband and I feel so comfortable through the whole process. Leading up to our event he was extremely responsive in emails and was more than willing to work with our changing plans after COVID-19 started to change everything. We are so thankful that we found 7Nine Photography, would totally hire Mario again, and 100% recommend his services to everyone!
Mario was wonderful to work with, we would highly recommend him for your event. Our wedding photos turned out better than we had imagined, and his keen eye for capturing moments was evident in each and every photo he took. He was exhibited a high level of professionalism, while remaining extremely personable. Wedding planning during a pandemic was stressful, but Mario helped make it that much easier. Thank you, Mario!
Mario is an amazing wedding photographer. To be honest, his prices could be doubled compared to other vendors I looked into. He had two lengthy phone calls with me before the wedding to discuss what I was looking for in my wedding photography. Looking at the beautiful pictures after our wedding, it is clear that he really got what we were looking for in our wedding photography because he took the time to find out. At our wedding Mario was so calming and great to work with. He wasn’t the center of attention but was assertive enough to get the shots he needed. After the wedding, he lets you download every picture for free through the gallery site, which is something that very few wedding photographers offer. I can’t recommend Mario enough!
Our wedding pictures turned out wonderful! Definitely recommend Mario, as he was flexible and knew how to capture excellent photos despite the less than ideal weather! Thanks capturing all the moments of our special day.
Mario and Crystal did any amazing job on our wedding photos. They were everything we wanted! I find Mario to be an amazing photographer and they are cost effective! I 10/10 would recommend them for any wedding!!
I am SO glad we had Mario on our wedding day. He not only captured everything I wanted, but got shots I never even knew I wanted until I saw them! We had multiple people comment on how great he was, he was happy to take pictures for people and he was great at moving around and getting action shots too. The planning process was super easy with him, he communicates and makes you feel so comfortable, I definitely felt like I had nothing to worry about before the wedding (which, there is enough to worry about so feeling comfortable with my photographer was GREAT) Highly recommend him!
