Ready for your San Miguel adventure?
Finding the Best San Miguel de Allende Wedding Photographer for You
for your one-of-a-kind destination wedding
If you’re looking for a San Miguel de Allende wedding photographer, you are in the right place!
Some of the best destination wedding photographers in Mexico cater to couples planning their wedding in San Miguel, one of the most appealing places in the world to invite your family and friends to celebrate your day with you.
With so many photographers competing for your attention, how do you choose? Here are a few questions you can ask yourself and the photographers that catch your eye.
What is your style?
Mine? Oh, thanks for asking. (While we’re here, I may as well provide my answers to these questions.) I describe my style as natural, fun, timeless, and true, since it combines elements of pure documentary, with editorial, using the foundations of artistic composition to document real people having real emotions, as well as the enhanced beauty that my couples’ day has, with all the carefully chosen details and family and friends, all at their best to make it a day that everyone present will remember fondly the rest of their lives.
Do you speak our language?
Of course I mean that both ways. The first is, if you speak a language like English, for example, does your photographer also speak English. The second is, are you on the same page in terms of your vision, how you like to express yourself, and communicate with others? Will the photographer seamlessly be able to navigate working with your family and friends, during formals and also those little moments during the day, and also when it comes time after the big day to get you your photos and handle any questions that come up at any time before, during, or after.
Do you charge travel fees?
Although San Miguel is such an amazing place to get married, surprisingly few photographers actually live there. So be sure to check with your potential photographers what their travel fees look like. For the time being, I am charging ZERO travel fees, although this is subject to change at any time without notice.

Engagement Session
Doing an engagement session is one of the best decisions you can make. It will most likely be the last time you’re captured as a couple before your wedding day. It is a great opportunity to get comfortable in front of the lens of the photographer who will capture your wedding. It is a more relaxing way to get some amazing shots as a couple, and you can choose a location that you are unable to get to on the wedding day.

Absolutely stunning!
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. 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!

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.
