You Have Found Your Photographer & VIDEOGRAPHER IF ...

  1. You are looking for someone who speaks your language – but is also familiar with the destination. 
  2. You prioritize photography, but would love to get a highlight video, too (without making a big production out of it). 
  3. You gotta have a few sweeping shots of your epic setting from above. 
  4. You will treasure a selection of film photographs to memorialize your day with the nostalgic feeling only vintage analog cameras can provide. 
  5. You don’t want to have to choose between documentary, editorial, or fine art styles – you want what each moment requires so nothing is lost.

How I get you what you want

1. An American in Germany

  • As an American who studied in Heidelberg, I know how to get around.

  • I work closely with an expert planner, ensuring you a seamless, stress-free experience.

2. Keeping the vibe intimate

  • By providing both photo and video by myself, the intimacy of your moment will be preserved with care. 

  • Spare yourself a big production crew with cameras in your faces and people and gear all around.

3. Instant nostalgia 

  • Vintage film captures your moments with depth and mood. 

  • The rarity and imperfections of film provide a striking contrast to the “perfect” look of digital.
  • Having analog cameras on the scene connects you to the moment and to history and creativity in ways that deepen your experience.

4. Staying present

My approach is to flow with the rhythm of the day rather than impose stiff posing.  Read more about my style HERE. 

5. A minimalist, modern gallery

  • Access your high-resolution images with ease. Your industry-leading online gallery with AI face-search makes finding your favorites effortless.

Meet Douglas

SOLO SPECIALIST OAXACA DESTINATION WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER & VIDEOGRAPHER

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.
