Former TV Director of Photography from Mexico brings cinematic storytelling to your Baja wedding — capturing raw emotions with the intimacy only a solo artist can achieve
Multiple photographers, assistants, and drones turn your wedding into a film set. Your guests feel like extras. The authentic moments vanish when everyone’s aware of the “production crew.” After 20 years in TV production, I know — smaller crews capture bigger emotions.
Perfect lighting. Perfect poses. Zero soul. You’re not looking for stock photos. You want images that capture how it actually felt when your best friend’s speech made everyone cry-laugh. Real moments need a documentary eye, not a commercial director.
They follow the same shot list for every wedding. But your Valle celebration isn’t like every wedding. It’s uniquely yours, with the soul of Mexico and the style of California. It deserves someone who sees that — and has the experience to capture it.
After years as Director of Photography for TV productions in Mexico — mini-series, sitcoms, commercials, music videos — I discovered something crucial:
The best stories happen when people forget about the camera.
That’s why I left the big productions behind. No crew. No assistants. Just me, my trusted prime lens, and 20+ years of knowing exactly when to click the shutter.
To capture authentic emotions at your destination wedding…
You don’t need a photography crew that makes everyone self-conscious.
You need one experienced artist who becomes part of your celebration — someone with the cinematic eye to see the story and the discretion to capture it without intrusion.
Think of it this way: Would you rather have your cool friend who happens to be an award-winning cinematographer, or a film crew following you around?

“Every time I look through the images I live again those moments, I feel again the happiness, the love… and tears come out from my eyes. David captured emotions we didn’t even know we were feeling.”
“He made my wife and I comfortable in our own skin. No awkward posing, no feeling like we were ‘performing.’ Just us, being us, with someone who happened to capture it all perfectly.”
“It was great working with you to improvise as the weather was all over the place. David’s experience showed — he knew exactly how to adapt without missing a moment.”
