Photography with Jonathan Cossu
My company consists of me, (I have 20 years of experience capturing weddings and seven years covering Hindu and Sikh weddings) my assistant, and my studio manager. We are an amazing team!
We offer specialized wedding photography packages to fit each couple and family’s needs.
I´m Italian and have been living in México for more than 20 years.
I think that living in two cultures where family and traditions are the paramount is why I'm able to connect with and understand South Asian families and their dynamics so well.
What inspired you to start shooting weddings?
I started shooting weddings as a second shooter, or assistant photographer, and fell in love with it. As a photographer, weddings are the perfect outlet for me to express myself and combine my journalist and creative sides. I am inspired by the adrenaline, feelings, and emotions that arise at each unique wedding and event. I feel true happiness being able to help couples create lasting memories.

Tell us something about your personal life that clients wouldn't find out from your Instagram page or wedding albums?
Apart from ́photography, my other passions include painting, reading, cooking and swimming. Last year I competed in the Ocean Man competition here in the Riviera Maya and swam from Playa del Carmen to Cozumel! I live with my girlfriend, who is also my second shooter! I have three children. Two sons, ages 18 and 12 and a little girl, who is my girlfriend's daughter, who is six years old. I also have two cats and two dogs!
