Best photographer in Toronto

Mario truly went beyond what we expected from a photographer on our wedding day. He was extremely communicative with us up to and on our wedding day. He was extremely creative with the shots he wanted to take and handled the unexpected weather conditions (it rained all day) with ease. The candid shots he took were amazing. My wife and I feel that he is truly able to capture the spirit of our wedding party and guests. He captured all the photos we were looking with many different family members without being pushy or bossy. He blended in with the crowd very well. Many of our guests complimented us on how wonderful he was to everyone at the venue as well as the amazing pictures we received from him. We would absolutely use Mario for other events in the future and highly recommend him to anyone getting married or having an event in Toronto! Thank you to Mario for capturing our day!

Amazing photographer

Mario photographed our wedding at the Old Mill in Toronto in August. The photos are gorgeous and bring back so many happy memories. He is very professional and knew our venue very well. Really happy we hired him.

Amazing wedding photos!

We are so thrilled that we booked with Avangard Photography for our wedding - the photos we got far exceeded any of our expectations. Mario is an extremely passionate photographer with an amazing style and his creativity is out of this world. We aren't from Toronto so we didn't know any good photograph locations but Mario is extremely knowledgeable and helped to guide us through our options. I was very nervous about the photos (I don't have much experience nor do I really like having my photo taken), but Mario put me at ease and did an absolutely outstanding job. Mario's photos tell a story of our day and are absolutely beautiful. He captured everything we had hoped for and then some! At our wedding, dinner ran late but Mario was so accommodating and flexible and agreed to stay later into the evening in order to capture our cake cutting, first dance and dance floor fun. He provided us with over 1000 photos of our big day and had them back to us within 2 weeks of the wedding. We are so grateful for Mario and would recommend him to anyone looking for wedding photos.

Amazing Photographer

Mario and his team did an amazing job at our wedding. He was attentive to our requests and responsive to our emails leading up to the wedding. On the day of our wedding, he was on time and professional. After the weekend they delivered our photos promptly, and they look beautiful.

The photographer, Mario, was an excellent photographer who have helped us from start to end. He was able to advise us of what is necessary to follow, asking us all of the crucial photography-related questions such as (what kind of photos would you want to have in the end, how the wedding day going to go, or who are the people that you want us to specifically photograph?)

He was very attentive and flexible to our very tight schedule as we both are out of town ourselves and all of our planning was mainly done in another city.

Our entire experience with Mario and Avangard Photography exceeded all expectations. We were immediately drawn to Mario's photographic style and approach after seeing his work online; we can't believe that our engagement and wedding photos turned out even better than we could have imagined! Mario was very dedicated to getting both the portraits and candid shots that we wanted, adapted easily to our constantly changing schedule, and gave us great input regarding orientation of our ceremony location to optimize lighting. He was a pleasure to work with and we have every intention of using his services in the future!

Photographer

My wedding photography style is a delightful mix of photojournalism, documentary, and fine art. I see myself as a storyteller on your big day, capturing the genuine moments that unfold as you celebrate with family and friends.

My goal is to reveal the true, personal story of your wedding—those little details and candid expressions that make the day uniquely yours.

I believe great wedding photography happens when the unobtrusiveness of documentary photography meets the creative flair of fine art. It’s all about blending the natural flow of events with an artistic touch, ensuring that every image tells a beautiful story.

Whether it’s the joyful laughter, the heartfelt tears, or those quiet moments of connection, I strive to capture it all in a way that feels authentic and timeless.

Your wedding is a once-in-a-lifetime event, and I’m here to help you relive those precious memories for years to come!
