Documentary wedding photography in Cuernavaca, Morelos and all of Mexico — for souls in love.

Donato Weddings — fotografía de bodas

I grew up in Cuernavaca surrounded by gardens, afternoon light and stories told around the table. Since I was a boy I was fascinated by how a single instant — a glance, a held-back laugh — can say more than any word.

When I first picked up a camera I understood that this was my place: in the silence of observing, waiting for the exact moment when two people forget that someone is watching them. That's how I started, more than eight years ago, documenting weddings with an editorial and cinematic eye, but always from the truth of what happens.

Today I travel across Morelos and all of Mexico to tell love stories. Fewer poses, more truth: I let moments happen and capture them so you can return to them again and again.

“If your life is a story,
let me be the one to direct it.”

“Donato didn't just document our wedding, he lived it with us. There are photos we didn't even remember and that, when we see them, take us right back to those moments. We recommend him without hesitation.”
— Fernanda and Emilio, Tepoztlán
