Behind the lens
A thoughtful eye for the moments that matter.

The story
Built through curiosity, experience, and connection.
Mario’s photography journey began in 2004, when purchasing his first camera opened a new way of noticing light, people, and the small details that give a moment its feeling.
In 2007, he photographed his first wedding as a second shooter. That experience brought together portraiture, movement, family, and storytelling—and helped shape the event-focused perspective he continues to refine today.
Alexo Photography officially launched in 2010. Since then, Mario has photographed weddings, quinceañeras, corporate and private events, and other milestone celebrations across Southern California.

The approach
Refined imagery that still feels true.
The work balances thoughtful direction with close attention to what unfolds naturally. Light and composition create the visual structure; genuine emotion gives each photograph its meaning.
The goal is a collection that feels polished without becoming impersonal—photographs that preserve both the atmosphere of the celebration and the people at the heart of it.
When a celebration calls for a second photographer, I bring in someone from my team of experienced photographers I know and trust. We work together with a shared approach to the moments, light, and coverage that matter most.
