Results That Speak For Themselves

“Mario and his team were absolute GEMs to work with from start to finish. We just launched a new Airbnb property and knew we needed amazing photos to stand out and get bookings. Mario made sure to think of every single detail to bring the property to life and sell the experience. We got 2 bookings worth 8k within 48hours of launching. It is worth it to invest in the photos, that is your clients first "experience" of the property. Highly recommend!”

-Ash, Vista

“We recently re-photographed one of our STR properties and the new hero image is definitely garnering more bookings - in fact, we have gotten 7 NEW bookings in the last 3 weeks that our new photos have been posted, all for the typically slower shoulder season in Tahoe. If you want your property to stand out, invest in Mario's services - he takes the time and effort to style the shoot flawlessly, to showcase your property .”

-Cynthia, Lake Tahoe

“In terms of return on investment, Mario is worth every penny. The visual experiences he has created have significantly driven up my bookings. To sum up my experience in a word, even "exceptional" would fall short. If you are in need of professional photography for your property, look no further than Mario Silva Photography.”

-Meghan, Santa Barbara

Our Airbnb Photography Services

Interiors

Many properties look incredible in person but fail to convey that charm in photos. Without the right lighting and angles, your space may not feel as inviting, causing potential guests to scroll past your listing.
We specialize in capturing your interiors with the perfect lighting and composition, ensuring every room reflects the warmth and personality of your property. Our photos showcase the true character of your space, making it feel inviting and desirable for your potential guests.
Exteriors

A poorly captured exterior photo can make your property appear less inviting, even if it’s stunning in person. If your exterior doesn’t reflect the beauty of your space, it can lead to missed opportunities.
We expertly capture the exterior beauty of your property, showcasing its charm, surroundings, and architectural features. Whether it’s the lush landscaping or stunning outdoor spaces, our photos ensure your property looks inviting and stands out from every angle.
Drone

In a grid of images, your listing can easily get lost in the crowd. A drone shot makes all the difference, transforming a standard listing into one that catches the eye.
Our drone photography offers a stunning aerial perspective, showcasing your property’s expansive grounds, breathtaking views, and unique features. It’s the perfect way to make your listing stand out, offering a view that helps potential guests see the full potential of your property.
Twilight

Daytime photos only capture your property during a single moment, leaving out the cozy, inviting ambiance that comes with the evening. If your listing doesn’t capture that inviting evening feel, it can get lost in the crowd.
Twilight photography captures your property in the soft, glowing light of evening, creating a warm and memorable atmosphere. It’s the perfect way to show your property in a different light, giving potential guests the sense that your space is a place to relax and enjoy at any time of day.
Styling

Without the right styling, it can be hard for potential guests to visualize how enjoyable your space would be, especially for discerning guests or hosts looking to attract higher-paying clients. We create lifestyle scenes that help guests make an emotional connection, appealing to those seeking a premium experience.
Our styling services bring your space to life by creating inviting, aspirational scenes that showcase how guests can truly enjoy your property. While styling is an investment, it transforms your listing into a visually appealing environment that makes it stand out and attracts more bookings.
