About

We are Donna and Marco, destination wedding and elopement photographers from Miami but based in Mexico. Our passion is for photojournalism, telling stories through our work, and connecting with our clients on a personal level. Although we've shot weddings around the world, our favorite destination weddings have always been in Mexico. With my (Donna) 8+ years in the wedding industry, I have learned all the ins and outs of weddings and how to capture them naturally without cheesy or forced poses. We are available for weddings across Mexico at no travel costs. I would love to chat with you and help make your wedding dreams come true!

The most incredible human being!

I have been following Donna for so many years now and always knew I wanted her to be my engagement photographer.
Her pictures speak for themselves; the level of her nature talent in being able to capture a couples energy, stunning details, and create flattering poses is frankly unmatched.

When my finance and I were trying to find a location for our engagement photoshoot, Donna was absolutely instrumental in helping us pick a location. She suggested a little pacific northwest town in Oregon and we fully trusted her which was the best decision we could have made. The location was absolutely stunning and it was growingly clear that she is so knowledgable and able to scout locations based on a couples personality. I trusted her along the way for all of the decisions and was so glad that I did. I highly recommend having her plan out your destination!

On a separate, and more important note, I have to say that Donna is just an amazing person and spirit. This doesn't just affect her photography, but it totally changes the mood when you're working with her. Her inherent kindness, intuition, and good energy just made the nerves of being photographed melt away. She is just absolutely incredible.

You would be totally remiss if you don't book her to be part of your wedding journey- she is undoubtably one of the best in the industry! A huge thanks to Donna for everything that she did for us!

Donna and Marco are amazing!

Donna and Marco planned and then drove with us on our Mexico elopement road trip from the desert to a jungle sculpture garden, which had always been a dream for us. The trip (itinerary planned by Donna) was literally a dream come true, with lunches with epic views and beautiful nature walks to waterfalls. Donna and Marco were so fun and so easygoing. And somehow, even without me having professional hair and makeup, Donna took the best photos of me that have ever been taken. When my husband saw our photo gallery, he said "Wow, these are better than my eyes." There's no catch - just hire them!

Hire donna!

Just WOW. Donna and Marco are truly incredible. Not only did they capture the most epic and unforgettable moments of our wedding day, but they also like to have fun and get to know your whole wedding party.
My family will not stop talking about how cool our photographers were... we have already cried just looking at the photos.
Spend your money on a photographer like Donna. These are moments that you will hold on to forever and they will make it 100000% worth it.
We love Donna & Marco!!

Best and most lit photographers!

Where do I even start with Donna and Marco.. I found Donna on Instagram and fell in love with her work. Her ability to capture a moment is absolutely breathtaking. At first the prices seemed a bit high for me, but the more I talked to Donna and sampled her work, I knew I would never regret my decision to hire her. And boy was I right! Not only were my wedding photos unbelievable, Donna made the entire night a great experience. It’s like she was one of us, blending with the crowd and getting along with all my family and friends, but still capturing all the special moments. I know realize photography is an investment into one of the only parts of your wedding you’ll get to keep, and I fully recommend investing in Donna and Marco.

The Amazing Donna Irene

Donna Irene has such an amazing talent for capturing ‘moments’ which is exactly what we wanted on our wedding day. It’s not the formal photos that remind you how great your day was it’s the natural moments of fun, excitement, and love that are so important to be documented. She has so much energy & is truly passionate about what she does. We also did our engagement session with Donna and couldn’t be more impressed with how she captured ‘us’. There is nothing cookie cutter or staged about her pictures and it was so refreshing. We could not recommend Donna more and are SO pleased with the pictures she took of our special day. Thank you so much!

Donna & Marco are an AMAZING TEAM

Donna has always been my dream wedding photographer. My Fiance at the time even knew that when he hired her for his surprise proposal. He booked a trip to where Donna and Marco were living at the time because he knew how special she was to me and how talented she is. There was no doubt that we wanted Donna and Marco to shoot our wedding and be by our side on that special day.

Donna & Marco captured moments that now look like they froze time and can bring us back to those exact feelings. The amount of details in their work should be considered perfection. I felt as if they were part of our family the day of our wedding and made us feel so at ease during each step of the day.

I want to blow up every single one of our photos and show the world. Every time one of my friend gets engaged the first thing I do is send them Donnas wedding page.

I can't thank Donna and Marco enough for making my dreams come true. This pictures are going to bring us back to that day every single time!!! We love you guys!!!

THANK YOU!!!

Angels with Cameras

I have the pleasure of knowing Donna since we were teenagers. I actually went with her on a high school trip to Italy and witnessed how she gracefully and passionately photographed the beauty around us. It was there when I knew that she would be big. I was right! I've been following her on social media ever since and became one of her greatest fans. When dreaming of my future wedding, Donna would be the photographer. Many years later, that dream came true in Key West on February 9, 2019. In addition to her incredible talent, she also has a strong faith in our Lord and is a lantern of His peace. Donna gracefully glided through all the stresses and sweet madness that came with our wedding day and was a peaceful and reassuring presence throughout the day. When talking about her with my family the day after, I recall describing her as "an angel" beside us on our wedding day. For my husband and I, the day seemed to fly by so fast. For Donna, however, it seemed as if time stood still as she captured countless precious and sacred moments of our day. Looking back, I know that I didn't only select a wedding photographer who is incredible at, and dedicated to, her craft but someone who can truly see beauty for what it is and capture it. That takes more than skill and focus. It requires a patient, humble, faithful and beautiful person on the inside to recognize beauty on the outside. She’s got it all. Her husband, Marco, was also a very sweet presence at our wedding and was our second photographer. He brings a unique style to the table that truly complimented that of Donna's. They make an incredible team. We are obsessed with our wedding photos! Our photographs are beautiful and are an authentic representation of our love, our personalities and our wedding day. Each photo is precious. We find it hard sorting through the photos to pick our favorites – we love them all! We re-experience the excitement, emotions, and laughter from our wedding day every time we view our wedding album. The photos came promptly (within the first month) and in abundance. We look forward to printing and enjoying our wedding photographs for the rest of our days. Thank you, Donna and Marco, for being lovely witnesses of our wedding day and for sharing your talents to capture the most incredible day of our lives. We wouldn't have it any other way and recommend Donna and Marco with all of our heart!

A Love Letter To Donna

This is a love letter about Donna so if you're not into the sappiness then click away (but also don't because she deserves all the gushing over). I met Donna at A & Be's bridal shop opening in Miami. I won an engagement shoot and the moment she came over to say hi and talk about the potential shoot plans, I got all the butterflies! We shot an in home session. I was so nervous because my husband is not the best with pictures. He cringes every time I make him take 4 mirror selfies at home. So, the fact that Donna was able to bring out the super model side of him I knew he had in him was AMAZING! We wrapped the session in about an hour and we got the edited pictures like 5 hours later. THIS. IS. HUGE. She's like a ninja with editing.
Fast forward to our wedding a year and a half later. She made my family portraits fast and effortless. This is saying a lot because I had like 400 family members that all wanted pictures (more like 20 but they feel like 400). I was stressing this part so much and it only took 15 minutes. Another plus to hiring Donna as your photographer is that she won't annoy your husband with a million pictures. Donna gives you ALL the candid shots your heart desires. These were my favorite pictures from the wedding, the sneak kisses and the getting down on the dance floor. Seriously, these are pure magic. And again, three weeks after the wedding, I had all my pictures. Donna was in Morocco like 2 of those weeks by the way!
I can go on forever about how great Donna is but you're just going to have to find out for yourself!

Super-Responsive, talented, high quality event photography

If there were a way to offer a higher than perfect score, I would. A few months ago, I started searching for an experienced photographer to shoot my surprise proposal to my now-fiancee during a weekend visit to Mexico City. While I'd been to Mexico City before, it had been several years since my last visit and I needed some planning guidance. I feel so lucky to have chosen Donna– she was beyond perfect!

We had a few weather-related challenges leading up to the big day, and Donna was super flexible and communicative when we needed to switch locations. We were in 'secret communications' planning the morning on a tight schedule. Donna met us at Chapultepec Castle early and we beat the crowds to grab some incredible shots. Much to my fiancee's delight, Donna captured the surprise proposal, celebrated with us, and made us feel super comfortable as she guided us through an incredible portfolio of engagement shots around the property. She turned around our "sneak peek" within hours so we could share photos with friends and family back home.

If you're looking for a super-responsive, creative, and highly-skilled photographer for your proposal or wedding, look no further. We give Donna our highest recommendation.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
