Avangard Photography

I was part of a wedding party that solicited the work of Mario at Avangard Photography. After seeing the pictures for the first time I was left in absolute awe. The way the pictures take you through the story of the entire day is something I’ve never seen done so well before. The candid pictures were my favorite in the way he was able to capture the emotion of the room through the faces of the guests. Going through the pictures is like reliving the event. Mario was very easy to work with as he silently captures the events from the side lines. There was very little direction and posing, it wasn't his style and it really works. Each photo has a very authentic feel. He has real knack capturing these moments.

Working with Mario and Avangard Photography was a great experience! The photos we got from our wedding are lovely and we are so excited to share them with our friends and family. Mario captured our day perfectly and we couldn't be more grateful for all of his hard work!

Mario is just absolutely phenomenal. He is professional, friendly, and incredibly talented. Myself, my husband, and all of our family and friends cannot stop raving about the quality of his photos from our wedding. After doing our engagement shoot with Mario we knew we'd love our wedding photos but wow, he still took our breath away. His eye for capturing the emotion of the day and the personality of his subjects, while blending into the environment and never making anything feel forced is extraordinary. Not to mention he probably has the quickest turn-around time of any photographer in the GTA - we got our photos back within two weeks! He is just the absolute best.

Absolutely amazing! Our photography Mario captured all and more than we expected for our Corporate After Hours Party. I have already hired him again for our next event! Customer service and communication was fantastic as well.

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!

I’m so glad we chose Avangard as the photographer for our wedding and engagement pictures. Mario is so talented, relaxed and easy to work with. Our pictures turned out amazing and we heard such great things from our guests about his work and demeanor at the wedding too. I also feel we got great value for money with Mario as he is reasonably priced.

Mario was a true professional who guided us expertly during our big day. He helped keep the day moving for the photos of family before the ceremony, then acted like a fly on the wall for cocktail hour and the reception. It was so great being able to relive the day through his lens and see things that we missed because of all the chaos. I highly reccomend Mario and Avangard Photography to anyone looking for a reliable and affordable wedding photographer!

THE BEST! Mario and his team were amazing!! I recommend them to anyone. My wedding day was very hot and I was really nervous about my photos with my hair and makeup in the heat but the photos came out better than I could have imagined. We also did our engagement shoot with him and our photos turned out beautifully. He's easy going, friendly, professional and amazing at what he does. Thank you again Mario!!

Mario was everything we hoped for and more. From our engagement shoot to our wedding day - Mario was professional, kind, organized, calm, and so quick and attentive. He was such a pleasure to be with and we were so happy to share these memories with him by our side capturing them. We absolutely loved all of our photos and received so many compliments on them. The turnaround is so fast and the editing style is stunning - it's exactly the storytelling tone we wanted. Mario exceeded our expectations and we would recommend him over and over.

If you're looking for a wedding photographer, look no further. When we were looking to hire a photographer, we picked Mario because his portfolio told a story of the wedding and made us feel like we were there even though we're looking at pictures of perfect strangers. He delivered the same with our photos; they tell the story of our wedding day with tons of candid shots that capture the moment. In addition, Mario was great to work with and have around on the day of. We enjoyed working with him and all our guests that interacted with him really enjoyed him. If you want amazing wedding photos, hire this guy.
