About Luxe Portraits

Luxe Portraits

Head Photographer | Videographer

Hello, I am Mario, a Raleigh-based photographer. I am an NC native, and I have always been creative, as I started playing instruments at 11 years old. With over 5+ years of photo and video experience, I blend documentary and editorial styles to create imagery that feels authentic, emotional, and timeless. My journey began as a wedding DJ, where I learned how to read the room and stay present in every moment. These are the skills that I carry behind the camera now. Whether I’m photographing or filming, my approach is simple: I show up as a guest, not just a vendor, prioritizing your experience while quietly capturing moments that matter most.

I have the ability to connect with my couples, their friends and family. I'm also a wedding DJ too so I understand the flow and moments of a wedding day more than most which allows me to anticipate what's to come as well as improvise if need be for timeline management purposes.

    Amazing Experience, 5 Stars!

    Working with Mario and Luxe Portraits was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. The booking process was seamless and easy, with clear communication throughout every step of the way. What really stood out was Mario's dedication to our vision—he took time to consult with us and ask thoughtful questions to ensure him and his team captured exactly what we wanted. Mario even arrived two hours early on our wedding day to set up and give us complete peace of mind, which spoke volumes about their professionalism. The final photos are timeless and truly unique, capturing our day in a way that feels authentic and genuine. The pricing was worth every penny, and I would recommend Luxe Portraits to anyone looking for a photographer who genuinely cares about delivering exceptional work.

    One of a Kind Experience!!!

    Mario was absolutely incredible to work with. From the moment we connected, he brought a calm, professional energy that made everything feel effortless. He doesn’t just take photos—he captures moments, emotion, and the little details you didn’t even realize mattered until you see them. His eye for lighting, composition, and storytelling is unmatched. If you’re looking for someone who is reliable, creative, and truly invested in making your vision come to life, Mario is the one. Highly, highly recommend.

Typically, couples book me about 5-12 months before their wedding date. I encourage you to reach out as soon as possible about my availability, But anytime is fine and at the minimum 1-2 months is very helpful.
Yes I’ll bring one or more assistant photographers/videographers depending on the size of your wedding, hours of coverage, and if it's included in your package.
You can expect about 80 to 100 images per hour of photographing. But keep in mind this estimate varies depending on your wedding package, number of guests, venue type, and other factors. I always tell my couples that photo numbers greatly vary and we deliver everything that meets our standards.
Yes I offer video services! We also offer hybrid coverage (Photo/Video). If you are considering wanting records of your ceremony, behind the scenes, and to have your wedding portrayed as a movie then I would recommend our video services.
My turnaround time varies by season. Typically, you’ll be able to view your photos online about 2-4 weeks after your wedding. I also try to include some sneak peaks while the full gallery is being edited.
