A San Miguel wedding day

A wedding day in San Miguel moves around town. Getting ready at the hotel, the ceremony at the church, a callejoneada through the streets, portraits on a rooftop with the Parroquia behind you, and a party that goes late.

Jess and Luis did all of it. They were married at La Parroquia and celebrated at Hotel Boutique Nena, and I photographed their day from start to finish.

Finding the best San Miguel de Allende wedding photographer for 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 give my answers to these questions.) I describe my style as natural, fun, timeless, and true. It combines pure documentary with editorial, using the foundations of artistic composition to document real people having real emotions, along with the beauty of your day: the carefully chosen details, and your family and friends at their best, on a day everyone will remember fondly for the rest of their lives.

Do you speak our language?

I mean that both ways. First, if you speak English, for example, does your photographer speak English too? Second, are you on the same page about your vision, how you like to express yourselves, and how you communicate with others?

Will the photographer be able to work easily with your family and friends, during the formals and the little moments of the day, and handle any questions that come up before, during, or after the wedding?

Do you charge travel fees?

San Miguel is an amazing place to get married, but surprisingly few photographers actually live there. So be sure to ask your potential photographers what their travel fees look like. Mine areincluded in the price, with no hidden or extra travel fees.

More questions? That is what I am here for. Just ask away!

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!

Morgan & Luis

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.

Frequently asked questions

We love your work and want to book. What is the next step?
To reserve your date, I'll need a signed contract and 35%. Then 35% at the halfway point between booking and the wedding, and 30% two weeks before. If you don't have a contract yet, just let me know and I'll send one over.
How many photos will we receive?
Galleries typically include 100 images per hour. The exact number varies from wedding to wedding. Your online gallery comes loaded with edited, high-resolution images you can print and share.
When do you charge travel fees for weddings?
Never. Travel is included in the price, with no hidden or extra travel fees.
Do you work alone or with a team?
For destination weddings, I typically work alone, providing photography, and, if desired, a video highlight, vintage film camera, and, wherever allowed, select moments of drone.
