NJ Wedding Photographer & Videographer
Remember how it looked. Relive how it felt.
Photographs and film of the day you actually lived, made by the same two people from your first call to your last dance.
Luxury wedding photography & film
Your wedding will hold moments you planned, moments you hoped for, and moments you never even knew were happening.
For more than twenty years, Mario and I have made it our life's work to hold on to every one of them for you: in photographs, in film, and in heirlooms your family will still reach for in fifty years.

Our story
Twenty years in, and it still moves us
We're Ivone and Mario, a husband and wife who met here in New Jersey and built this studio side by side. For more than twenty years we've spent our weekends inside other people's most important days, and we've never once taken it for granted.
A wedding is two people and the families standing behind them: the ones who drove through the night or flew across the world to be in that room. Getting to witness that, and hold onto it for you, is the honor of our lives.
We work in English and Spanish, so your grandmother is spoken to directly, in the language that feels like home. When you book us, you're not hiring a company. You're bringing in the two people whose whole life is built around getting this right.
— Ivone & Mario
More about the two of usYour day, not a photoshoot
The best thing a couple ever told us: “I forgot you were even there.”
The worry I hear most isn't about the photographs. It's “are we going to spend our whole wedding being pulled away from it?” No. We build the photography and film around your day, never your day around us.
Beautiful doesn't have to feel staged. You want photographs that feel editorial, and you want to recognize yourselves in them. We guide you when guidance makes a stronger image, then step back when a moment needs room to simply happen.
A first look? Entirely your call. It can buy more portrait time and protect your cocktail hour, or you can keep the aisle as the first time you see each other. There's no right answer, only trade-offs, and we'll walk you through both.
“I'm awkward in photos... MC provided verbal direction and also helped physically position me in some shots.”
Allison P. · The Knot
Trusted with the moments that matter
From New Jersey families to the Jonas family.
For more than two decades, families across New Jersey have trusted us with their weddings, milestones and most personal celebrations, including a private celebration we were honored to photograph for Kevin and Danielle Jonas.
Whoever you are, and whatever you're celebrating, you'll get exactly what every one of our couples does: our full attention and our whole hearts.
Photo + film, one team
When you hire two companies, they meet for the first time at your wedding.
Our photo and film teams have worked side by side for years. They know each other's rhythm, who steps in, who holds back, where the other one needs to be. Nobody blocks a shot, and they're setting each other up all day.
No two teams meeting for the first time in your ceremony doorway. Just one story, in photographs and in film, told by people who've been telling it together for years.
“They were somehow both everywhere and invisible at the same time.”

Who actually shows up
When you book us, you book the owners.
Many of the largest studios in New Jersey assign their photographers and videographers from a roster. You meet one person at the sales table, and strangers arrive on your wedding day.
That's not how we work. Your contract is with Mario and me, the owners, and an owner is personally part of your wedding. When we're honored to document more than one celebration on the same weekend, your day is led by the senior team we've worked beside for years, with an owner there to set the tone and support them.
The people you meet are the people responsible for your day. Every time.

The experience
We do more than show up with cameras.
Here's the real timeline, not a list of adjectives. To see how we guide you in front of the camera, meet the team and read the traditions we know, visit our what to expect page.
01
The first call
We listen
Your celebration, your families, your priorities, and how you want the day to feel. Your coverage gets built around your wedding, not a template.
02
Months out
We plan
Timeline, coverage, portrait list, family combinations, traditions. We coordinate directly with your planner and venue so no one is guessing on the day.
03
Weeks out
We confirm
You speak with the team who will be there. Every location, every transition, every family group is set before anyone lifts a camera.
04
The day
We guide, then step back
You don't need to know how to pose. We give direction when it's needed and step back when it isn't, so your day never turns into a photo shoot. More than two decades teaches you where a moment is about to happen: the difference between catching it and hearing about it later.
05
After
We preserve
Your edited gallery in 2–4 weeks, your finished film in 9–15, and heirlooms designed and produced in-house, not sent away and hoped for.
See a whole day
One wedding, start to finish.
Anyone can show ten beautiful photographs from ten different weddings. Here's what an entire day looks like when we document it: getting ready through the last dance, in stills and in film.
Heirlooms
Your memories were never meant to live only on a screen.
Digital files are easy to share. Heirlooms are what your family still has when the app you uploaded them to no longer exists.
The Heirloom Album
Designed page by page around your day, not dropped into a template.
The Screen Album
Traditional album craft with your wedding film built into the page. The piece every guest picks up and no one puts down.
The Video Book: your film, portable, instant, no wifi required. Included when you book photography and video together.
Seen by the world
50M+ Google photo views and counting
Google invites a small number of trusted photographers to document the places people search for. Our images of New Jersey's most beautiful venues have now been viewed more than fifty million times, helping couples everywhere picture their own celebrations.
When a venue looks its best online, there's a good chance we're the ones who photographed it.

What our couples remember.
“Her communication is excellent... We worked together to plan out a detailed timeline of the day which helped to ensure a seamless experience.”
Rebecca H. · WeddingWire
“So many amazing pictures, from hilarious candids during the reception, to polished portraits for our albums.”
Franz G. · The Knot
“We cancelled the other photographer and hired them to do the entire wedding... people tell me the photos should be in a magazine.”

Before you decide
Easy to feel. Just as easy to explain.
Booking us is a decision you'll make with your heart. Here's the plain version, the one you can hand to the parent who's paying, the fiancé who wasn't on the call, or the friend who found someone cheaper.
One team, one contract
Photo and film from the same studio, not two vendors negotiating your timeline in your ceremony doorway.
Fully insured
We carry professional liability coverage and provide the Certificate of Insurance your venue requires, usually before they even ask.
Multi-camera coverage
Multiple photo and film angles, so your vows and your first kiss never depend on one lens pointing the right way.
Backup everything
Every photo and every second of film exists in at least two places from the moment it's captured.
An owner on your day
Your contract is with Mario and me, not a roster, and an owner is personally part of your wedding.
Direction only when it helps
We guide you when direction makes a stronger image and step back when a moment needs room. Your wedding day never turns into a photo shoot.
We know these rooms
We've already worked at your venue.
We've photographed and filmed at many of New Jersey's finest estates and ballrooms, so we already know their light, their staircases, their best portrait spots, and how their timeline really runs. On your day, that means less guessing and more of the shots only someone who's been there twice would think to get.
MORE VENUES WE'VE WORKED WITH
Before you ask
Questions couples ask.
Do you photograph and film weddings with the same team?
Yes. MC Productions has provided wedding photography and cinematography in-house since 2003. Your photographer and cinematographer plan your timeline together, which means fewer interruptions, no competing direction, and one consistent look across your images and your film.
Will the owners actually be at our wedding, or do you send someone else?
Your contract is with the owners, Mario and Ivone Cornejo, and an owner is personally part of your wedding. When we're honored to document more than one celebration on the same weekend, your day is led by the senior team we've worked beside for years, with an owner there to set the tone and support them.
Do you work in Spanish as well as English?
Yes. Our team works in both English and Spanish, so your parents and grandparents are spoken to directly, in the language that feels like home.
Do you photograph and film Greek, Indian, Jewish and other cultural weddings?
Yes. Greek, Indian and Jewish weddings are a regular part of our work, and after more than two decades we know which moments your families will want protected. We ask about your traditions in our first conversation and build them into your timeline, so nothing meaningful is missed. You'll find more on our what to expect page.
Will we spend our whole wedding posing?
No. We build the photography and film around your day, never your day around us. Family photographs usually take 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the size of your family, about 20 more for your wedding party, and we like at least 30 minutes for just the two of you. After more than two decades of timelines, we plan every group before the day so no one you love is missing, and you still make it to your own cocktail hour.
Should we do a first look?
Entirely your call. A first look can buy more portrait time and protect your cocktail hour, or you can keep the aisle as the first time you see each other. There's no right answer, only trade-offs, and we'll walk you through both.
What if a card or a camera fails?
Every photo and every second of film exists in at least two places from the moment it's captured, and we shoot with multiple angles, so a single failure can't cost you a memory. We're also fully insured and provide the Certificate of Insurance your venue requires.
How much does a wedding photographer and videographer cost in New Jersey?
Full-day wedding photography starts at $2,750 and full-day wedding film starts at $2,900. Book photography and film together as one team and receive a complimentary Video Book. Every wedding is built around your date, venue and hours, so we quote after we've talked, and our investment page shows how we work. A 30% retainer reserves your date, 50% is due three months before the wedding, and the final 20% on delivery.
When will we receive our photos and film?
Your full edited gallery arrives in 2–4 weeks, and your finished film in 9–15 weeks.
Do you travel for weddings?
Yes. We serve New Jersey, New York and destinations worldwide, and we've traveled as far as Italy for a couple's wedding. See our destination wedding page.
What happens after we book?
We plan your timeline, family combinations and traditions together, coordinate directly with your planner and venue, and confirm everything with you weeks out. You'll find the full journey, step by step, on our what to expect page.
Tell us about your day.
Ivone or Mario will reply to you personally.
