What do you love about weddings, how did you start out, and how long have you been in the business for?
At Dezine By Mauro, weddings hold a special place in our hearts. They are a celebration of love, a moment where emotions run high, and where every detail matters. Our journey began with a deep-rooted influence from the fashion world. We seamlessly transitioned from fashion to photography, bringing our unique sense of style and creativity to wedding photography. For over 25 years, we have been committed to capturing the essence of love and celebration in a way that is both unique and timeless.
Does your brand have a specific style?
The Dezine By Mauro brand is synonymous with an avant-garde flair and a natural, editorial glam approach. We believe in capturing weddings with an artistic touch that stands out from the ordinary. Our style is defined by a blend of creativity and technical excellence, creating photographs that are not just images but timeless works of art.
How many people do you have on your team, and who should we expect on the day?
Our dedicated team consists of six talented photographers, each with their unique skills and perspectives. When you choose Dezine By Mauro for your wedding, you can expect a professional and highly experienced team to be there on your special day, ensuring every precious moment is expertly captured. We always have contingency plans in place, so you can have peace of mind that your wedding photography needs will be met, even in unexpected situations.
Tell us a bit about your process when booking a wedding from start to finish?
Our wedding photography process is all-encompassing, beginning from the initial moments at the couple's home and continuing through to the end of the wedding celebration. We offer more than just photographs; we create lasting memories. Our service includes high-end, digitally retouched images that are ready to be cherished in your family heirloom album. We also provide art pieces that you can proudly display on your walls. What's not included is any detail that we might overlook, as our commitment is to ensure that every moment is captured with precision and artistry.
What info do you require from a couple to best understand their vision and accurately quote on jobs?
At Dezine By Mauro, we place a strong emphasis on building a personal connection with our couples. We encourage you to visit our New York-style warehouse studio, where we can get to know each other and share your unique vision. This interaction helps us understand your desires, preferences, and the specific details that are important to you. It allows us to tailor our approach to make your wedding dreams a reality.
Is there anywhere that couples can see your work?
You can explore our portfolio and gain a sense of our creative style on various platforms. We showcase our work on Instagram, Facebook, and our website. These online channels give you the opportunity to see how we capture the most important moments of our couples' lives and to understand our unique approach to wedding photography.
Tell us a bit about your fee structure.
Our pricing structure is centered around the creation of your wedding album and the production of enlargements for your walls. However, we are flexible in our approach and can create packages that suit your specific needs. We understand that weddings come with varying budgets, and we work with our clients to accommodate their unique circumstances. Unlike rigid pricing, our approach is adaptable to ensure that you receive the best value for your investment.
Do you work on locations, and do your prices include travel fees?
Dezine By Mauro is not bound by geographical limits. We have extensive experience in destination weddings and have captured the magic in places like New York and Europe for over a decade. While our pricing is typically all-inclusive, travel fees can vary depending on the specifics of your destination wedding. We provide individualized quotes to ensure that your photography needs are met, no matter where your special day takes place.
What does your calendar look like this year, and how far in advance are you booked?
With a team of six photographers, we have the capacity to accommodate weddings throughout the year. It's highly unlikely for us to be fully booked for most of the year, providing you with the flexibility to choose the timing that best suits your wedding plans.
