Meet Diego
PHOTOGRAPHER
A bit about Diego (written, of course, by his very unbiased wife): Diego is the kind of person who makes you feel like you’ve known him for years—calm, relaxed, and with a quiet kindness that instantly puts people at ease. At first, he might seem introverted, but give him five minutes and you’ll realize he’s a closet extrovert.
Originally from Argentina, Diego moved to Mexico City in 2005 to study at the Academy of Visual Arts, where he fell in love with fashion and editorial photography, working on both sides of the camera for over a decade. In 2019, he relocated to Puerto Vallarta, where we launched Chas Studios and began building our wedding and event work across Mexico. As the brand grew, we expanded into Portugal.
Diego’s the guy who’s everywhere and nowhere at the same time—blending into the background while catching the moments you didn’t even realize were happening. And when needed, he steps in with just enough direction to make you feel comfortable and look like yourself. Nothing forced, nothing stiff—just real moments, exactly as they felt.

Meet David & Angel
FILMMAKERS
David and Angel have both been drawn to storytelling from a young age, fascinated by how a camera can turn real moments into something timeless. What began as a shared curiosity evolved into a passion that led them to study film and build a career capturing people’s stories.
Their background spans social media content, documentary work, and now, wedding films, where everything they’ve learned about light, pacing, and emotion comes together. From flying the drone to finding the perfect track for the edit, they approach every film as a seamless collaboration.
Their style blends documentary realism with a poetic eye for detail, and they’re constantly inspired by the privilege of documenting such meaningful days, moments that remind them why they started filming in the first place.
