"We keep receiving comments about how beautiful our photos are."

quinta real wedding photography by douglas favero

“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.”

-Anneka & Alejandro

See the Work

Real couples who preserved their intimate vibe by foregoing a multi-person production and going with the solo multi-medium specialist option. Working alone and discreetly in their epic venue, I prioritized photography, while also delivering a dynamic highlight video. I captured key moments of aerial photography and videography, and, often, vintage film photography as well.
