Coverage runs from 6 to 10 hours depending on the collection, and The Sweet Spot and The Whole Story include a second photographer and a live guest photo slideshow. Custom coverage is available.

  • Do you travel for weddings?

    Yes. Mauricio is based in Sparta, NJ and photographs weddings across New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania. Travel within New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania is included. Destination weddings are quoted up front.

  • How long until we receive our photos?

    Sneak peeks arrive within 24–48 hours depending on your collection, and your full gallery within 4 to 6 weeks.

  • Can we meet before booking?

    Yes. Start with a short call, by phone or video, or meet in person, to talk through your plans and make sure Mauricio is the right fit.

  • What if it rains on our wedding day?

    Mauricio plans a covered backup for portraits with your venue ahead of time, and some of the best images come from rain.
