About

I was born and raised in Mexico City and spent most of my professional life playing basketball around the world. the transition into photography was so natural for me as no matter where I was, I had to have a camera in my hands, and lucky me, now I get to to this for a living. I've now brought my skills down under with my Aussie wife and my Mexican chihuahua to establish the happy donkey photography within Australia.

Alex photographed my daughter’s wedding and we couldn’t be happier! He captured the day perfectly. Aside from the family shots you didn’t even know he was there! I cried when I saw the end result! Alex added to the magic of the day. Thank you 🙏

We had the absolute pleasure of having Alex as our wedding photographer, and we couldn't be happier with our choice! From the moment he arrived, he was incredibly calm and always ready to help with the little things that make a big difference. He had such an eye for what would make a great shot, effortlessly guiding us and capturing the most beautiful moments. What impressed us even more was his flexibility—things were constantly changing throughout the day, but Alex adapted with ease, making everything feel so natural. If you're looking for a photographer who goes above and beyond, Alex is your guy!

Alex aesthetically provided the type of warm, candid photos we were after whilst making us and our wedding guests feel comfortable and at ease. He was flexible and knew the venue well allowing optimal and efficient photography. The turn around time and sneak peaks came quickly which we greatly appreciated. The included engagement shoot was fantastic too. We highly recommend Alex at The Happy Donkey!

Alex from Happy Donkey was an amazing photograper. He offered a free engagement shoot and photo album, was willing to do an extra hour to cover the whole day and was extremely friendly and accommodating to me and my wife's needs for the day. Very reasonable price and the photos were stunning and we will cherish them for years to come. We would highly recommend him to any friends who need a photographer.
