Hi, I’m Mario—Photographer, Videographer & Wedding Storyteller Based in Raleigh, NC

Capturing authentic moments with heart, artistry, and intention.

I’m a North Carolina native with over 10 years of experience in the wedding industry and more than 300 weddings behind me. My journey into this world began as a wedding and corporate DJ, where I fell in love with the energy, emotion, and magic of celebrating people’s biggest moments. That same passion naturally led me to photography and videography—two mediums that allow me to preserve those memories in a timeless, visual way.

Before stepping into weddings full-time, I focused on photographing private events, concerts, and corporate celebrations. But once I started documenting weddings, I knew I had found my true calling. There’s something sacred about capturing a couple’s story as it unfolds—unscripted, emotional, and full of life.

My style blends documentary and editorial. That means I’m all about real, in-the-moment storytelling—with just enough direction to create stunning portraits that still feel natural. Whether you love curated poses or prefer a hands-off, documentary approach, I’ll tailor the experience to match your vibe.

My wedding day mantra? I show up as your photographer, but I’m also your guest. I prioritize your experience first and foremost. I won’t interrupt your flow or ask you to redo a moment that was already perfect the first time. Instead, I quietly observe, capture, and preserve every laugh, every tear, every beautiful in-between moment—so you can relive it all for years to come.

Let’s create something meaningful together.
