I’ve been a Santa Barbara wedding photographer for 14 years, drawn to effortless, artful documentation from the very beginning. With a background in visual merchandising, marketing studies in Paris, and valuable business experience in the corporate world, I eventually returned to photography—always my first love after taking a film photography course in high school—and never looked back. More than a decade in, my love for weddings remains as strong as ever. My empathetic nature and holistic approach help create a warm, relaxed experience for every couple I work with.

Hi, I’m Mario, an award-winning photographer, and graphic designer. I am a Santa Barbara County-based and specialize in lifestyle, weddings, quinceañeras, family, and senior portraits. Servicing Santa Barbara, Lompoc, Santa Maria, San Luis Obispo.

I LOVE love. I will never tire of hearing how you met, your first kiss, your first "I love you" and every moment in between and I want the feelings of all those moments to be captured in your photos. I love to read and collect books, especially love stories. I am a wall flower who loves to watch the little lives around me.

My passion for photography was built on nostalgia. From a young age, I loved opening of the old holiday popcorn tins full of generations of family photos that my mom kept in the hallway closet. It felt magical to pull out old memories and hear my mom recall the story behind a photo. Now, I love to capture these special memories for my clients to pass down to the next generation. My job is to encourage and direct you so you feel comfortable and confident while taking photos, capturing each unique story in a creative and authentic way. I do this by creating a space for us to truly get to know each other and be ourselves.

(i-love-film) I really do. There is something about the tactile quality, the vibrant color, the absence of color, the patience required, the craft. Something about how it pauses each moment for just one more second in the best way possible. It’s why I let film influence the way I shoot, how I approach each wedding day, and capture each moment despite how much easier it would be to only shoot digital. My hope is that all this effort and care and passion and sentimental value translates into something so much more than a photo on a screen. That you remember the way you felt, the laughs, the tears, and all the in-between moments.

Born and raised in California and a lover of nature my style is driven by landscapes, connection, and authenticity. I believe that when you look back on a photo, you remember what you felt at that moment. It is my goal to help facilitate an incredible experience that is worth remembering and displaying. Capturing the big moments and the little ones in-between.
