Marco was beyond amazing at working with us through wedding planning (he's not a wedding planner but his insights and advice were so greatly appreciated!), photography planning, and day of work. He was kind, offered input and advice when we asked for it, and even helped us come up with ideas for HOW to get married, where to get married, and when. He is a very creative problem solver, very thorough in planning and foreseeing our desires and potential challenges, and has an amazing knack for picking gorgeous locations and great pictures. His direction was also extremely helpful when we were capturing moments on the day of our destination elopement, but he didn't over direct. He helped us look our best while keeping it all natural. He even got some personality shots in there when we thought he wasn't shooting! It was great to have candid, posed, and very natural raw moments captured. We wanted to feel like we were just hanging out celebrating with close friends, and Marco felt like exactly that. A good friend there to celebrate us. He offered ideas but always held us as autonomous in all of our decisions, and it was just an overall fun experience working with him. My husband is kinda camera shy and was a bit nervous thinking about being in front of the camera, but Marco made us feel so natural and comfortable... I think my husband may have ended up feeling more natural than I did in front of the camera!! I cannot recommend Marco enough. Book him NOW and you won't regret it for a SECOND.

We couldn’t be more thrilled with the work Marco did for our wedding. From the moment we met, he was professional, friendly, super down-to-earth and incredibly accommodating. On our special day, he captured every beautiful moment, special detail and on top of that, all the goofy ones. The final photos are stunning—full of genuine emotions and timeless elegance. We’ve already received countless compliments on the photos and will cherish them for a lifetime. If you’re looking for a talented photographer who goes above and beyond, we highly recommend Marco. We wouldn’t have asked for anyone better. Thank you for making our day unforgettable.

Choosing Marco as our elopement wedding photographer was undeniably the highlight of our planning process. Right from our initial meeting, he felt like more than just a photographer; he felt like a trusted friend, genuinely invested in our love story and our dreams for our special day. We loved his sense of humor and deeply appreciated his flexibility in accommodating all our requests.

On the day itself, Marco's presence was a calming force amid the whirlwind of emotions. He arrived early and fully prepared, exuding a contagious energy that eased any nerves we had about being in front of the camera. His ability to effortlessly capture every fleeting moment left us in awe. And when we received the preview photos, it was as if we were reliving the magic all over again. Each image was a masterpiece, a true reflection of the love and joy that filled our hearts that day.

Marco, your incredible talent and genuine passion for your craft have given us more than just beautiful photos; you've given us memories to hold onto for a lifetime. Thank you for being such an integral part of our journey.

I was very nervous about selecting the right photographer for our wedding, knowing how important it is to have beautiful photos that capture the special moments of the day. The day flies by so fast and all you are left with are the photos and videos to look back to and remember! I’m so glad we hired Marco with Mangrove Photography. He made us feel so comfortable (we definitely didn’t know how to pose, where to put our hands etc.) and he was able to capture absolutely stunning photos of the wedding. The natural moments that are emotional and fun! He was also flexible and was responsive the whole time. I highly recommend Marco and cannot say enough good things!!!

Working with Marco was easy, stress free and fun throughout the entire process. Marco has a great eye and our wedding photos came out absolutely AMAZING! We could not be happier! If you like natural, in the moment photos, Marco is your guy! I would recommend him to anyone and would use him again if we have another event in the future. Thanks so much Marco!!!

We hired Marco last minute to take some family photographs for my mom's birthday. He was responsive, flexible and gave us excellent recommendations for location. He was friendly and easy to work with and his work is beautiful. Highly recommend!

It was a dream working with Marco! Our wedding was not a traditional wedding, and we had a daytime brunch with our closest friends and family in the Florida Keys. From months before our wedding, to days leading up to it, Marco was a great communicator and made things easy and fun. I never like photos of myself and am pretty picky with the style, but Marco made sure to capture our day and I ended up being obsessed with what we got back! Marco is now like a friend to me and took my feedback and direction gracefully and with professionalism. Our photos were fun and really brought out our personalities and overall vibe. We will use Marco in the future for every photo session and can’t say enough great things.

Marco was amazing!!! We booked him on only a few weeks notice and he was super flexible and easy going. Replied to emails quickly, had an awesome personality, and of course the pictures turned out amazing. I told him my husband and I are usually awkward in posed photos but he made us so comfortable and got so many incredible candid shots. Plus he got the pics back to us in just about 2 weeks! We can’t thank him enough for capturing our big day and will cherish his photos forever.

Marco is such an incredible photographer. I tend to feel so awkward in front of the camera and yet in every photo he took of me and my husband at our wedding I looked so much like myself. He is quick to get the photos back to you and you can tell he loves what he does and puts his heart into it. He left such a great impression on us that we hired him again to photograph our family photos. I can honestly say we have found our go to photographer and I couldn’t recommend Marco enough!

Marco absolutely CRUSHED IT. He was so kind and attentive to all the shots I requested. He really knew how to make my family feel comfortable in front of the camera and the results are melting my heart. Would recommend him a thousand times and I look forward to hiring him for all future events as well. Thank you Marco!
