Natural Experiences
when the day is done, all that's left are the memories.
I specialize in documenting intimate, natural big life experiences in Oaxaca, Mexico: Elopements, intimate weddings, and one-of-a-kind proposals. My couples love being in wide open spaces where they can return to being who they really are, free of the pressures of their lives.
You are in the right place if you decided a standard wedding isn’t for you. You don’t want the same old drab walls of the local reception halls, the too familiar surroundings, the long guest list of people you hardly know.
You want to celebrate your wedding somewhere that has a strong sense of place, where the place itself has so much character it is a character in your story, immersing you in an unforgettable experience.
For such a momentous event, you want to get out of your comfort zone, out of the ordinary and into the extraordinary.
Meet Douglas
OAXACA DESTINATION WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER
As someone who had my own cross-cultural wedding in Oaxaca (my wife’s hometown), and who has spent thousands of hours since 2008 capturing the memories that couples like you have entrusted me with, I am here to put these experiences to the service of helping you achieve your vision for this next huge step in your relationship.
Having raised my family in Oaxaca, traveled to four continents, and photographed couples from all over Mexico, the US, Europe, Australia, and Asia, I am at home in stunning settings where multiple cultures and languages mingle together.

FIVE TIPS FOR A
Stress-Free Wedding Day
FOR PHOTOGRAPHERS
Solo Hybrid Shooter Course
Do you love shooting photo AND video? Then you may be ready to take on solo hybrid shooting, my friend. In this course I share my secrets on how I shoot photo, video, and even drone, all by myself during engagement sessions, proposals, elopements, and intimate weddings.
These lessons are based on almost twenty years of experience as a photographer in breathtaking Oaxaca, Mexico. With the synthesis of my experiences as a photographer and videographer in the many kinds of big-life moments of my clients, I am able to share not only the fundamentals, like what focal lengths and camera settings are best for each situation, but also how to get creative with them to achieve your own vision, AND how to tackle the business side: differentiating yourself from your competitors, pricing what you’re worth, and closing with adventurous clients who are excited to work with you.
This course guides you step by step through each component, with plenty of extra tips and tricks so you can start feeling like a seasoned hybrid-shooter pro this year rather than in five or ten.
It comes complete with a special bonus section on the unique nature of destination weddings and how to always be prepared for the unexpected.
