Mario Oliveto Photography

e can't stop looking at our album! Mario took the time to truly understand our vibe, and how we wanted our day captured and absolutely nailed it! He and Teresa were also too much fun to have there! He and his team have such a calming and fun presence and made us feel so special! He is right on schedule and was able to sneak us away for gorgeous sunset photos, cigar bar photos, etc without us missing any of the party. Recommending Mario & team over and over again for anything for wedding photos, engagement sessions and anything in-between. <3

rs" and we agreed. We later found out his associate photographers are not his employees, do not always work with or for him, and do not typically work together. We specifically hired Mario because he had shot weddings at our venue before, which did not have much natural light. We found out on our wedding day neither photographer who shot our wedding had ever shot at the venue before. As an aside, we had a call a few weeks before the wedding to discuss the timeline of the day. This call was with Mario, not the people who would actually be shooting our wedding. We were told we would be emailed a schedule. We never received it. We were unhappy with the coverage and the product delivered. Many of the photos were very dark, or overexposed. Several of our couple "portraits" were taken at odd angles. We were promised that Mario edited everything himself, even if he did not shoot the wedding, and would be up to his standards. I did reach out to express my disappointment and was told it would be looked into, and that was the end of the communication. I would absolutely not hire this company again.

icture process was laid back and not rushed, which we really appreciated. I would definitely recommend Mario and his team to anyone getting married!

engagement shoot we knew we had picked the best of the best. He made us feel comfortable and we honestly just were able to have fun and be ourselves. That comfort he brought really shows itself in how fantastic his work is. Our wedding day was more of the same. Him and his second photographer were amazing. They were both genuinely fun to have around. The pictures we have gotten back are breathtaking. Thank you, Mario for making this whole experience unforgettable and documenting this time in our lives as beautifully as you have. It would not have been the same with any other photographer.

uick to respond to any questions I had. He really helped make the flow of our wedding day so smooth and knew exactly what he was doing. We were also outside in 97 degree heat and it didn't phase him one bit lol. The photos turned out amazing!

he shots from that session alone, we were blown away by Mario's natural, airy style and his knack for capturing light in a stunning fashion. When we arrived upon our wedding day, Mario and his team were timely and made us, along with our bridesmaids and groomsmen, feel very comfortable right away. Throughout the day, Mario and his team were present to capture every moment, and did so in a way that was organic and fun. They offered their own creative ideas for shots (our veil photos are some of our favorites) as well as took key shots we wanted to get at the venue. Mario and his team also made the trek from Philly to North NJ to be there for our wedding, so we are incredibly appreciative of the time and effort that was made to ensure our whole day was being photographed. So far we've only seen "sneak peek" photos, but they consistently put a huge smile on our faces whenever we look at them and make us even more excited for what's to come!

their wedding. All of the photos for all 3 of the weddings came out flawless. Not to mention Mario & his team are amazing to work with. For our wedding day we had Kelly & Eric as our photographers. They made us feel comfortable and brought great ideas for photo shots. Another great feature Mario offers is the wedding photo website where all of your pictures are posted. This makes it so easy to share your wedding pictures with friends & family! Would absolutely recommend booking Mario for your special day!

ere so nervous about taking photos but he eased all of our nerves. He is so fun and his pictures are seriously breathtaking!!

photographer he brought with him, Theresa was beyond amazing as well. Highly recommend them! Very professional, personable and dedicated to making your day perfect and capturing the special moments! Thanks Mario and Theresa!!! You're the best!!!

el so so natural and comfortable. Kelly went to the guys to photograph them, while Mario was with the ladies, and I swear she might be invited to Thanksgiving dinner after the day she had with those boys. They were calling Kelly family afterwards. Not only were Mario and Kelly so much fun but their work is BEAUTIFUL. Absolutely stunning work. They got to know us and our likes, and even had us incorporate things like that into our pictures. They blended in so naturally during cocktail hour and on the dance floor, you didn't even realize they were there. It was so easy to take pictures with them even on a sunny and 92 day- Lol. Mario was absolutely incredible, accomodating, understanding, and hilarious. You will not be let down with this guy- he is worth every single penny. I wouldnt want anyone else to capture the best day of my life. Thank you, Mario and Kelly!

ding (other than marrying my husband of course) was the photographer. I am big on pictures and they are very important to me to reminisce on and remember good times with friends and family. Needless to say for such an important event I wanted our photos to be on point. Mario is actually a preferred vendor at our venue (The Manor House and Prophecy Creek) and that is how we heard of him. When we first spoke on the phone, he was so warm and kind and although I was a little worried about pricing at first we were able to work something out that I felt comfortable with. In retrospect, I am SO thankful we booked Mario because he was one of the best parts about our big day. A few of my friends were initially surprised I hired a male photographer due to the intimate nature of some wedding photos, but that thought never even crossed my mind. Once I saw Mario’s work I KNEW we needed to hire him. Because of the virus we had to reschedule our engagement shoot a few times and he was always super flexible. Then, on the day of our engagement shoot the one location we wanted to shoot at actually said we couldn’t shoot there. I was super bummed but Mario took it in stride and we found a different location that was just as if not more beautiful. One of the biggest things for me was that before our engagement session my now husband was dreading “hours of taking pictures” but when we were done he said “that actually was fun, Mario is super cool”. Then came our wedding day. Mario and his assistant photographer Theresa were wonderful. Theresa literally had her arms stretched in positions for so long holding my veil etc and she was smiling the entire time. She was GREAT. She was able to go take photos of my now hubby and his groomsmen getting ready while Mario was with me and my girls. She even helped my stepson get his bowtie on. All my bridesmaids and mom/MIL raved about how nice Mario was and how respectful he was and kind. Everyone loved him. The night of our wedding he sent me a couple sneak photos (yes.. the night of.. at 2am!). I am literally bursting with excitement to see our full album and I cannot wait to work with Mario again. I already told my husband we will be hiring him for all our future baby/family/you name it photos. Thanks again Mario for making our day truly the best ever!!!! We loved working with you and Theresa!

swooped in and saved the day! When I first emailed to ask about his services, he responded within minutes and we scheduled a call for the next day. Having just had such a disappointing experience with our engagement photos, he was really understanding about what was important to us and very reassuring. He was totally open to our ideas, but had plenty of good ideas to share with us as well. On the wedding day, Mario and his second shooter, Liam were amazing. They were fun and easy to work with - we had a blast spending time with them all day! When I woke up the next morning, I checked my email and Mario had sent us 10 photos as a sneak peak for us to enjoy at 2 AM! We were so grateful to be able to see a few photos so quickly after the wedding. Overall - we had a great experience wih Mario and would definitely recommend him!

he prettiest backdrops for our bridal party, and me and my husband. He made suggestions, helped us pose, and then sent us 70 edited photos the same night!! I want to enter his photos for an award they are so amazing! We got as many compliments on the photos as we got on the food. I highly recommend Mario! He is outstanding!

rred vendor list. I know some people would think "oh they are offering it for free, they won't do anything well, etc.". Mario was the total opposite. He was a complete professional and made the day fun and easygoing. I knew my fiance was nervous about getting in front of the camera but he felt really comfortable with Mario there. We even had to re-schedule our shoot at one point due to weather and it was no problem to change to another date. Mario captured our vision perfectly and had a very quick turn around (just a few days!). On our way home from our engagement shoot, we said we wish we could have booked Mario for our wedding because he was so awesome. I highly recommend Mario!!!

hotographed exactly what we wanted and our photos couldn't be more perfect. His talent and eye for the perfect shot shines through in every picture. My guests are still talking about how charming he was and how friendly his assistant was. He has a calm soothing way about him that calmed my nervousness and reminded me to enjoy the moments as they happened. We are so glad we chose him as our photographer for our wedding. He captured our day perfectly.

the photos gorgeous he had them to me so quick! I highly recommend using Mario for your wedding and I look forward to using him again!!! Thank you MARIO

capture some great moments. He took some great shots that I know will be a part of our family for the rest of our lives. If you can get Mario for your event, don't hesitate. Booking him was one of the best decisions we made when planning our wedding!
