About
Meet Douglas Oaxaca Destination Wedding Photographer
I help genuine, unassuming, adventurous professionals make natural, fun, timeless, and true memories in places that inspire them as they celebrate their commitment to building a life together.
I began capturing images with my own camera at the age of 9 (a few years before the picture on the right). There were only 12 exposures on the roll. Each click had to count. It was a trip through Morocco in my twenties in 2006 that showed me I had to do more with photography. Within two years I was shooting my first destination wedding in Oaxaca.
The trust my first couple placed in me to document the most amazing day of their lives fired my creativity.
Being entrusted with catching the vibe of your entire day is what grounds me in the source of my creativity. Your wedding day should be about who you are at your best. As you grow, you will not want to look back at your wedding day and think it ended up being the kind of day someone else pressured you to have, or the ordinary day everyone else was settling for.
I am here to help you make sure that does not happen.

You made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera as if you were a life-long friend
I have to express my thanks for the work you provided us with, because it demonstrates such a high level of quality and professionalism in the uniqueness of the photography, but above all for making us feel at ease, in front of your camera with your charisma and unpretentiousness we could share the magic, chemistry and happiness of our love.
You became part of the atmosphere that enveloped us. How could someone like me, so uncomfortable in front of the camera, feel such trust with someone I’ve just met as if you were a life-long friend?

We're very happy to have chosen you
Douglas,
I wanted to tell you how happy we are with our wedding photos. It was a very complicated event, with the open-air ceremony, the calenda, and the reception, but we think you captured it all in an excellent way.
We’ve shown the album to our friends with great response. Everyone’s admired it.
Thanks for everything. We’re very happy to have chosen you and if you need a reference, please, use us.

What are my photos made of?
Your trust in my creativity
The first time I had the chance to capture a wedding day, May 31st, 2008, I was overcome with excitement. It combined every kind of photography I loved–portrait, documentary, architecture–and all the details.
I loved knowing how much the bride and groom trusted me with every moment of their day.
From that day on, I have been driven by the same wide-eyed enthusiasm and the desire to honor the trust my couples place in me. This is what grounds me in the source of my creativity–and my sense of integrity, too.
