Mario Oliveto Photography

As an Event Planner in the industry I work with numerous vendors on a weekly basis. There is nothing like working with Mario Oliveto Photography! Mario's quick response and easy to read contracts make my life as a planner so easy! He makes my couples, corporate clients and close friends feel so relaxed and each image is so artfully crafted. I have never worked with a better photographer in the industry!

Our wedding day at Johnson's Locust Hall Farm, brought to life by the incredible Olive & Shae, was made all the more magical by Mario Oliveto. Mario is absolutely incredible at his craft, but he is also compassionate and thoughtful, and made our entire day - from start to finish - an absolute dream. We chose to also work with Mario for our engagement shoot, which was our first dose of how AWESOME he is. He helped bring my husband and I out of our shells and enjoy every single moment of the shoot. The outcome was incredible - I had never seen such beautiful photos, and he really brought out the absolute best in the both of us, both inside AND out. After the moment we met Mario, I knew we made the right choice. Flash forward to our wedding day, and building on my earlier comments, Mario blew us away again. He was incredibly professional, but also brought a level of fun and carefree to the day that only a skilled photographer can. The first set of photos we received were the most stunning things I have ever seen, and it showed me that Mario not only cares about capturing the main moments of the day, but the quiet, intimate moments that you wouldn't think of capturing, but are SO glad you did. I am so grateful to Mario for making our day so incredibly special, and I can't wait to work with him again in the future. Highly recommend!!!!!

Mario was such a humble and calming presence throughout our engagement and wedding. He has the ability to capture moments you can only dream of. He's such a talent and fantastic human being. We will not hesitate to use his services for any future celebration. Do yourself a favor and choose Mario.

Mario was a pleasure to work with for our October 2021 wedding! My husband and I first worked with Mario on our engagement photos via a recommendation by a close friend. Based on the 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!

Mario is not only an AMAZING photographer, he is such a pleasure to work with. He makes you feel so comfortable and is such a kind soul. His work is phenomenal and I couldn’t have asked for anyone better To photograph our engagement pictures and wedding. He really went above and beyond and captured every perfect shot.

OMG. I cannot say enough good things about Mario. I am shocked he only has 6 reviews on The Knot. From the second we got engaged I knew the most important thing to me about our wedding (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!

Mario and his partner, Teresa, were so talented and easy to work with. We were able to still feel like ourselves, even when we knew there were photographers around us. Our bridal party also loved their energy. They were so flexible when we were adding last minute 'formal photos' with family members we saw at the wedding, but forgot to add to our list beforehand. We cannot wait to see the photos and highly recommend Mario and his team.

When my fiancé and I first got engaged we were so excited to find someone to capture the love we shared for each other through photos. After some research, we stumbled upon Mario and we couldn’t be happier with the choice we made!! Mario was extremely professional, attentive, and flexible. He was willing to travel to any site we wanted to make the photos personal and exactly what we wanted!! We got numerous complitements on our photos because of how creative and personal they were and this is all thanks to Mario!!

We are in a state of euphoria! We had the most amazing day for our daughter's wedding. So many people contributed to the success of the day and Mario Oliveto Photography photographers were part of it. Everyone loved working with Mario and Liam. So easy to work with, so professional yet so warm and friendly. The work we have seen so far has been truly amazing. Update: Just received the completed galary.
Reliving the day through the magic of the pictures.

We loved having Mario photograph our wedding! He was easy to work with and has the most creative eye! He came early and took lots of venue photos, scouted out the best spots with the 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!

Mario is the absolute best! I would absolutely recommend Mario to anyone. He made my husband and I feel so comfortable at every stage of the process. He never made us feel awkward or pressured. He listened to what we wanted and made suggestions when needed. We had the best experience working with Mario! On top of it all he is professional, easy to work with and the quality of his work is absolutely incredible! Mario fully exceeded all of our expectations!

Mario made our engagement a truly great experience and I wouldn’t be able to recommend anyone else. He was very patient, supportive, and fun!

My husband and I are so please that we chose Mario for both our engagement photos and our wedding day. He has such a unique and exciting vision for his photos and really gets to know the grounds where the photos are being taken. He was also so attentive to the things we asked for/needed. At both our engagement shoot and wedding day, he made things so relaxed and comfortable which was something I beyond appreciated, especially on our wedding day when things had the tendency to get a little hectic. He gave constant reminders to slow down and enjoy the moment, and looking back at our photos you can feel that they are full of love and sincerely enjoying the moment. Obviously you can't go back and change your wedding photos, so I'm so beyond grateful that he and his team gave us such a relaxed, joyful experience for us to look back on. He also was able to catch so many priceless moments during our big day. If you're between Mario and someone else, there is absolutely NO QUESTION that he is the way to go! I wish I could find the words to truly express how great he was!! Thank you, Mario!!

Mario is an absolutely amazing photographer! When we talked with him prior to our wedding day we explained that we were hoping for less posed and more candid natural pictures. He photographed 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 relaxed 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.

Mario was the best!!! He exceeded all expectation. I cannot thank him enough! He truly made me feel like a model!!
