As an American in Oaxaca, I am a native English speaker fluent in Spanish. Someone who knows how to get around, knows the best spots (see some faves here), knows how the light changes, and understands how things get done.
I keep an efficient, minimal presence perfect for intimate weddings and elopements.
You get the highest-value deliverables (photo, video, drone) from the smallest footprint, and with one consistent vision.
Avoid ruining the mood with a big production — all those cameras thrust in your face by a bunch of people you’ve never met.
Vintage medium format and 35mm film cameras let you feel your photos more deeply, with the mood and nostalgia only real film gets you.
My style responds to the moment rather than being narrow and rigid because
The Bottom Line
I am the only artist in Oaxaca offering true, seamless solo coverage at this level.Â
How is it possible to get photo, video, drone, and vintage film from one person?
That person must draw on their intuition, strategy, preparation, and ingenuity.
They must have already invested thousands of hours in documenting weddings, often in challenging lighting and terrain. They must stay aligned with the emotional and logistical rhythms and peaks of a day that only comes once in a lifetime.
Slipping seamlessly between photo, video, drone, and vintage film, I ensure you get your story told with a unified vision, without the distraction of a production crew.

We are so so glad Douglas captured our wedding day!
Douglas is very kind, flexible, communicative, and talented. While we did get some formal and posed shots, his candid shots were some of my absolute favorites. His tonal quality is warm and colorful, great composition, and just an overall great value. Â He’s also very familiar with the area so in any given location he captured perfect moments. Because of his skills we now have absolutely stunning photos that bring us joy every time we look at them!

Douglas was an incredible photographer to work with for our wedding. We are a Mexican American couple (my family is English speaking and my husband’s is Spanish), so it was wonderful that Douglas was able to communicate with all of our family and friends in both English and Spanish.
The photos from the wedding are phenomenal. We keep receiving comments about how beautiful they are. Douglas was easy to communicate with remotely and once we arrived in Oaxaca. We cannot recommend Douglas enough.
I am grateful for the following awards and features that have honored my work over the years.
Let’s get the conversation started! Let me know some basic info and we’ll see if we make a good fit.Â
