We had nothing but positive experiences with Mario from engagement shoot to the big day! We used Mario for our engagement shoot in Philly about a year before our wedding. We were really unsure of locations and he had great suggestions that he ran by us and offered ideas ahead of time and during the shoot, he helped adjust as we looked at the lighting and space. We both expressed how unsure we were about taking professional pictures since this was a first for us and were not comfortable with a lot of the trendy shots and he really worked with us to make all the poses feel natural to us while still looking phenomenal. We decided to go with his associates for the big day based on our budget and they did not let down. Mario specifically picked two photographers who were familiar with our venue and had great suggestions for where to get the best shots. Our two associates, Rachel & Alyssa, were helpful, kind, fun, professional and absolute champs to get all the best pictures on our day. We had 100+ degree temps and they worked so hard to make sure we were comfortable the entire time while not sacrificing the pictures we had planned for. They checked in with us often and were not afraid to tell our family that the group pictures were done so that we could actually enjoy cocktail hour (after confirming with us that is was what we wanted). They also took adorable couples pictures of our guests during lulls in the dinner service that my family and friends were beyond excited for. Mario and his associates are an absolute recommendation in my book and I can not say enough nice things about working with them!

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 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!
