DON MIRRA

In addition to being a wedding photographer, Don has spent a significant portion of his career as a documentary photographer in developing countries, representing the stories of marginalized people through the lens of his camera. In the last several years, Don hasĀ traveled to Russia, Ukraine, Moldova, Romania, Transnistria, Uganda, Kenya, Democratic Republic of Congo, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India andĀ Haiti creating cinematic portraits of people and everyday life.His unique style combines a photojournalist’s unobtrusive presence with a playful participation.

The richness of his experiences in cultures
around the world has helped Don nurture a talent for tuning in to people’s stories as they unfold, enabling him to capture unforgettable moments as they emerge during the course of that very special wedding day. The result is an eclectic blend of the candid shot and the glamour portrait. Don’s subjects appear vibrant, full of personality, joy and fun.
