loves what he does, and he is passionate about photographing love. He helped me along the entire process, from sending me sample galleries to choosing locations, and creating a detailed time line of the shooting day. He was also INCREDIBLY helpful on the photoshoot day, lending an extra hand whenever I needed it. He is fun, easy to talk to and makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera. My Fiancé who is not a fan of getting his picture taken even made a comment at the end of day that taking pictures for 3-5 hours was an enjoyable process! We received our full galley back earlier than the deadline and we are very happy with our photos! So excited to get some big ones printed for our wall and to make an album. Couldn’t recommend Mtphotography more, so happy we found him.

Words truly cannot describe how above and beyond Mario Photography went for us.
Mario was incredibly helpful and responsive when we were working on a tight timeline (I reached out...
requesting a photo shoot in two weeks).
His photos are so stunning and heartfelt. He truly captured everyone’s personalities and love for each other so well. Not to mention we got so many photos in such a short turnaround!
We all loved working with Mario, He was such a joy and delight, and we’re already hoping to plan a future second session with him!
Thank you, Mario, for such a wonderful experience and memories that will last a lifetime.
Mario was the photographer of our dreams: professional, efficient, FUN, and best of all we got the most beautiful photos to remember our day. From day 1 (starting with our complime...
ntary engagement shoot!!!) Mariogot to know us and what we wanted and brought years of expertise to help us execute that vision. He captured so many special hidden moments and brought a real sense of artistry and joy to the shots. We COULD NOT BE HAPPIER!! Hire this man!!
Where do I begin about Mario?? He is the most down to earth, kind and patient person. From the second my husband and I first spoke to him on the phone, we knew he was the perfect ...
photographer for us! We found him on wedding websites and saw that his work has been featured in many wedding articles. We were looking for someone who had experience in photographing our venue - and we found Mario’s work in a beautiful article. His high and positive energy is contagious!! My husband isn't too crazy about taking pictures and Mario really helped to make him feel comfortable. Mario took the time to get to know us to the point where it felt like we’ve known each other forever! Mario captured our engagement photos and our wedding so perfectly!. He kept us laughing and smiling the whole time, even when we were getting a bit hangry! All of our family and friends kept raving about how much they loved him on our wedding day, and to this day are still telling us how much they love him! And we can’t blame them. Working with Mario for our wedding was one of the best and easiest decisions we made. He is personable, welcoming, flexible and super organized! Mario is just the absolute best!!!!! I cannot say enough amazing things about him and I highly recommend him and his team!! If you work with Mario, you definitely will not regret it!!!!
SUPERSTAR VENDOR ALERT!!! Mario was beyond fantastic, I'm not sure how to convey just how amazing he's been via one short, online review.
For starters and perhaps most obviously, ...
his photos are gorgeous. I could go on and on about Mario and his artistry, but I think his beautiful artwork speaks for itself. Mario captured our day and our people in a way that is so special and personal and we'll cherish our photos forever.
More than that though, Mario was really sensitive to the fact that my husband and I aren't the sort of people who are particularly comfortable in front of the camera. He totally got it and worked with us to find poses that felt formal without being overly staged so we would be comfortable and look our best. Similarly, our parents were also self-conscious about having their photos taken (the apples don't fall far from the trees, here) and Mario was so sensitive to them and their comfortability. All of our parents love the photos and have many prints scattered throughout their homes.
Lastly, Mario is just an absolute joy of a human being. He is so kind and warm and funny while maintaining unparalleled professionalism in all that he does. It's so important because you're with your photographer ALL DAY. My advice to people booking photographers is to make sure they're the sort of person you'd want around when things start going left, because hiccups are inevitable and your photographer is going to be in proximity for all of it. In our case, our day-of-coordinator was a bit of a bust, and Mario kept the whole day on track. I actually don't know what we would have done without him. The thought alone gives me instant anxiety.
I cannot recommend Mario highly enough. He is one of the best vendors we went with BY FAR. He was easy to communicate with from pre-booking to the day-of and beyond. For my other awkward-in-front-of-the-camera-peeps out there, please know that David will take care of you and your family and do everything he can to make sure you're comfortable and look your best. 100/10
Let me begin by telling you why we hired Mario. I had been searching online for a while and found a ton of photographers that did beautiful work. Their pictures were lovely yet wer...
e not quite what I was looking for. I couldn’t put my finger on exactly what that was until I luckily found Mario. As soon as I saw his pictures, I knew I needed him at our wedding. Obviously, his work is impeccable, but it goes so far beyond that. He is truly able to capture love and emotion through his photographs. He captures the moments you want to remember and relive. He is literally the only wedding planning decision I never second guessed. Why should you hire Mario? Obviously, his talent is clear. Moreover, he is just an incredible person all around. He is one of the kindest, caring humans I know. As a Covid couple, we faced a lot of challenges and David supported us every step of the way. He never hesitated to jump on a call and walk me through whatever I was trying to figure out. We postponed three times, so we talked A LOT. Fast forward to the day of, and things could not have gone smoother. Mario is exactly the energy everyone needs at their wedding. He is just as excited as you are but is able to keep everyone calm, while staying on schedule. He was able to capture every important moment but was never intrusive or in the way at all. I honestly cannot say enough good things about him. My family and bridal party all adore him as well. And, of course, our wedding pictures turned out absolutely incredible.
We have already recommended Mario to several friends and family! He is an individual who I hope to use again in the future as his prints are timeless!! His album always makes us sm...
ile and those that we have hung up and shared around always seem to brighten the day. Mario has a wonderful personality and makes sure that no special moment is missed.... even was able to catch a shot of the bride and groom hiding under a table from the crowd.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND Mario if you’re looking for a wedding photographer. Could not recommend him more. Wish we were getting married again to work with Mario again. Mario made my husban...
d and I feel very comfortable from our first call, to our engagement shoot, to our wedding day and through designing our wedding albums. He also made my family feel comfortable and our bridal parties. He was always ready with a joke to make us laugh. He also asked us questions throughout the process to make sure we were getting what we wanted on our wedding day. The photographs and video are also so stunningly beautiful. We get compliments all of the time on the photos that Mario took. He really captured how magical that day was for us.

Mario’s work speaks for itself, he’s incredibly talented and can make magic out of any location and vibe but Mario’s true (less obvious gift) is his incredibly peaceful energy! On...
a day that is typically full of a lot of stress Mario’s sense of calm is such a breath of fresh air and truly takes all the stress and pressure out of getting good photos. We had our wedding at a family member’s home and I was worried that since we didn’t have a traditional venue the photos wouldn’t feel special. That fear was totally unfounded as soon as we saw the photos from Mario. He managed to capture so many special moments unprompted that we truly cherish. Working with Mario you can rest assured that he will get incredible shots that feel natural and beautiful but absolutely glamorous enough to honor the importance of the day! Thank you Mario we love you and your work!
One word: PHENOMENAL! Words can't begin to describe the way Mario carries himself and performs her job. His photos speak for himself as well as his quality of work. He does a fanta...
stic job at easing any worries you may have, makes the time fly by and is extremely personable.
When we were discussing wedding priorities, we knew a photographer was near the top. After looking through portfolios for other photographers, it immediately stood out to us about the passion Mario has for photography and his skill set. We were ecstatic he was able to photograph our wedding and are in love with the pictures he sends us showcasing the day. If you have any debates with yourself on who to pick for a photography session, stop and give Mario a call or send an email, you won't be disappointed.

If I could give more stars I would. Mario was wonderful! Me and my husband met him at a local bridal shower and he immediately stood out from all the other photographers. He cared ...
not only about the quality of his photos but the quality of the relationship with his clients. We had a meeting where we discussed the contract and pricing for the wedding packages and what they included (Prices were by far the best out of everyone we looked at). Mario even came to our wedding location a couple of weeks before to get ideas and to see what we wanted! On the wedding day, he was calm and organized, he also took the stress away from us. He asked nothing from us and if he needed anything, he politely asks someone who obviously was a part of the wedding. HE GOT PHOTOS OF EVERYTHING!!! Not one moment went uncaptured. We had guest come up and tell us how wonderful they thought he was. Everyone noticed his work ethic. I would recommend Brett to anyone wanting to capture their special day in the best way. You will get high quality photos of all your best moments.
To get straight to the point, Mario is nothing short of incredible. He is truly a talented photographer- he is not just some generic wedding vendor. Mario did both our engagement p...
hotos and photographed our wedding in New York. We love Mario's work so much that only days after we got engaged we reached out to him to be our photographer. His photos are something special; every time I look at our photos I feel like I am back at our wedding. We are seriously running out of places in our house to hang all of the photos that Ben took! In addition to that, all of our vendors have been in such awe of his photos that they repost them on all their social media! My dress designer has used over 5 of his photos on their instagram account with thousands of followers.
In addition to his talent, Mario is wonderful to be around. He makes you laugh and takes any stress out of a situation. We feel so beyond grateful to have Mario capture the most important day of our lives. I could not recommend him enough. Mario Photography is hands down the best and easiest decision for your big day!
My husband and I got married on 12/31/22 and it was such a dream I have been sitting on writing my raving review because I didn’t want it to finally be over! But it would be a diss...
ervice not to share my incredible experience!
After my husband and I got engaged, Mario was the second vendor we booked – and if I could do it again, he would be the first! After our initial meet & greet, we immediately knew we had to book with him. We used him for the entire photo suite – engagement, boudoir, wedding, and album.
There is a reason we used him for everything and that is because he is incredibly talented at what he does. Not only is he a master at his craft – but he is extremely organized, knowledgeable, responsive, and delivers the absolute best quality – in record time! The list truly goes on and on...
He cares just as much about his couples and their day and it truly shows throughout the entire planning process, which makes it that much more seamless. He also makes it incredibly easy and effortless to be in front of the camera, which doesn’t come naturally to most! Hiring Mario was truly the best decision we made for our wedding – we now have so many beautiful photos that we will cherish forever.
We will forever be grateful to Mario for his services and how he made us feel throughout the entire wedding process! I am so sad our time working with him for our wedding has officially come to an end, but we will no doubt look to work with him again for future milestones!
JUST BOOK Him!! 10000000% RECOMMEND Mario Photography went so above and beyond what I ever could’ve imagined for my wedding day!! He is such a joy to work with. He is fun, keeping ...
you laughing and so kind! And the photos are absolutely phenomenal!! Mario has given us such an amazing gift that we will always cherish. We will forever use him for our future family and event photos! We truly loved our experience! ❤️ We can’t say thank you enough
We asked Mario to be a part of our wedding through a recommendation and after looking at his work. We thought his style matched what we wanted perfectly.
Once we started working wi...
th him we realized how important it is to have the right photographer. He was helpful and reassuring through our planning stages. Day of, he went above and beyond what we had asked and hoped for from him. Overall he has great communication, professional, and easy to work with.
Then the photos themselves turned out exactly as we had hoped. He captured priceless moments with our families. He intermixed black and white photos into our gallery, giving them a timeless quality. With our wedding being an outdoor wedding he did an excellent job unifying the surroundings with the moment.
I cannot say enough good things about Mario. First of all, I think his work speaks for itself. The photos of our wedding are absolutely incredible. Mario wonderful person and was t...
ruly a pleasure to spend our wedding day with. We are admittedly pretty awkward and he walked us through everything we needed to do while still allowing us to be ourselves and truly capturing us a couple. Thank you for giving us a perfect day and pictures we can cherish forever.
MT Photography is the best photography in the area!!! If you are doing a luxurious wedding I highly recommend you go with him for your wedding day! Mario makes you feel comfortable...
and is a natural at getting the best shots. We got the phenomenal photos we always dreamed of!!!! He knows where all the best spots are in. I am so glad I went with him as our photographer. I have friends who regretted their photography choice for their wedding day and I can 100% say that I have no regrets. He is the best!!
