Pricing
this is your legacy
Let’s capture it with intention.
You have put a lot into making your wedding just the way you want it. You need the photography and video that will allow you to remember it just the way you want it, too.
Welcome to the pricing guide of the only solo photo and video specialist in Oaxaca.
By capturing both photo and video by myself, I provide the small footprint your intimate celebration needs, blending …
the raw emotion of documentary
the polish of editorial
and the soul of fine art.
Unlike commercial studios that send a team of strangers, or photographers who dabble in video, I have been at work mastering the art of dual-medium storytelling, so that you can receive seamless editorial and cinematic coverage, without ruining your intimate vibe.
"We keep receiving comments about how beautiful our photos are."
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.

How I help you
get what you're looking for
I am a native English speaker fluent in Spanish
You won't have to worry about any confusion between your photographer and your friends and family.
An Abundance of Photos
I prioritize photography throughout the day. The moments that matter most will be frozen in time forever. Rest assured you will have your choice of them to fill up your walls, coffee tables, and bookshelves, and share with friends & family & future generations.
The Intimate Vibe Preserved
The worst is when the photo/video team outnumbers the entire wedding party. Kind of ruins the vibe. Strangers pointing cameras in your faces. Filling up a table at the reception. Leaving their gear all around. By keeping it simple with one person, someone you have met & trust, you can relax, enjoy the day, and keep the vibe you had imagined.
The Video Highlight Film
I use my intuition and cinematic eye throughout the day to capture those fleeting moments that are best experienced in motion. I also set up a fixed video camera for a second angle and continuous coverage of key moments. This plus drone coverage provides me with more than enough to create a sizzling, dynamic, multi-perspective yet intimate highlight video for you.
Well-traveled
I have brought my camera with me to 4 continents. I love being in new places and am inspired by the amazing photographic opportunities every destination wedding presents to me.
I KNOW OAXACA
I've lived here for almost twenty years and my own wedding was here. I feel at home with those who love Mexico, whether they're from here or elsewhere. (Also, I know the good spots.)
TRIAL BY FIRE
I'm backed up by 16 years of couples trusting me with the most important day of their lives in all kinds of challenging circumstances.

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.
