I'm a business owner
Mariano Alvarez Photography
Costa Mesa, CA
$750-$990 /event
I photograph private parties, corporate events, galas and year-end parties across Orange County. Most of my work comes the same way: someone sees how I work at one event and wants me at theirs. I'm there enough that people know a camera might find them, and not there enough to stop a natural reaction. You get the laughs, the toasts and the people who made the night. I'm a preferred photographer at the Environmental Nature Center in Newport Beach, and I photographed the Orange County Bird of Prey Center's Wings & Waves gala. You get 70+ edited photos per hour of coverage, in color and black and white, delivered within 2 weeks. Before photography, I spent twelve years as a chef and restaurant owner. I also photograph personal branding for local businesses, couples and families. Events from $990 for 2 hours, $400 each additional hour. Personal branding from $750. Couples and family sessions from $495.
