Men of Playa: Meet Arthur Dohmer

Arthur Dohmer is the pseudonym of Arturo Dominguez, a professional filmmaker and one of the most prominent wedding photographers in Cancun. Born in Acapulco, he's a proud husband, the father of a 5-year-old boy and a really hard working man. I first met him about 10 years ago when he was making a  short horror film as part of a creators award that he won.

How did you end up living here?

I moved in 1994, after I finished college. I wanted a quiet place to start working on audiovisual productions. I came with my mom a few years before, when I was a teenager, and I loved it. So it was my first option.

You are now a renowned professional photographer and videographer. How do you contribute to Cancun?  

Working, man! Taking care of my family, and being a productive person. I mean, being a professional all the time. And of course, taking care of my immediate surroundings, my house, the park where I go with my boy. Of course, I want a clean space, because I want him to have a quality environment.

What are your positive and negative experiences in Cancun?

I've been here for years so I love this city very much. It is a great place to grow professionally and make good money if you work hard, like no other place in Mexico. It's also a cosmopolitan city; it gave me the chance to meet people from all over the world and have a wider perspective on life, and improved my work too. The negative news is more recent. In the past five or six years two main aspects that I think have to do with bad administrations have grown: violence and ecocides. Oh, and traffic jams!

Do you expect things will get better?

Things can and will get better. There are elections coming, so that's an important opportunity. There are even independent candidates which is great, because it finally gives a sense of community to public service. There are multiple WhatsApp or Facebook groups of people working together to improve life in Cancun without depending on the government. People have finally realized the only way is to work as a community.

What is your message for all dads and sons living in Cancun and Riviera Maya?  

Take care of your children! Give them education. Teach them to have basic good manners, to be grateful, to be respectful to other people. Being nice opens doors in every corner of the world. I want my son to do whatever he wants, but with ethical values – caring about other people's work and time. I'm very proud when I see him say please and thank you.

Having a child isn't a game, you have to be prepared and know that this is a huge responsibility. You have to be physically, psychologically and economically prepared! And kids, listen to your parents, once day you will understand. We do our best, but we don't know everything.

The Safe Nomad (2). Vanessa Jater’s one month crash-course in everything

Happy, calm and barefoot. Colombian digital nomad Vanessa Jater on planning freedom and building an inner home.

Vanessa is 28 but looks at least 5 years younger. It might be the yoga she practices every day, it might be her dietary discipline, it might be her positive and bright attitude towards life or a combination of the three. As a matter of fact, Vanessa looks so young that, upon our first encounter, I wondered aloud how she was allowed to travel without an adult supervisor. She laughed and so our conversation began lightheartedly.

A broker breaks free

For 5 years at University in her native Colombia, Vanessa studied finance and dreamed of becoming a successful broker or Forex trader. After graduation, she applied for an internship with the Colombian Chamber of Commerce in Spain. She fell in love with the country and after the first year she needed a reason to extend her visa, so she began studying yoga, NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) and EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique). That gave her three more years abroad and a glimpse into what her future might look like.

During her time in Spain, Vanessa broke up with her boyfriend and bought a one-way ticket to New Delhi under a very strong impulse she needed to do something a bit more outlandish. While in India, she improved her yoga skills, studied meditation, spent time in an Osho retreat and volunteered for 3 months in Nepal.

Upon her return to Spain in 2012 she became acquainted with a spiritual mentorship group from Russia, who were touring in Western Europe. She became their translator and traveled with them to Germany, then to a retreat on the shores of Lake Baikal in Russia, where she had the chance to teach yoga for the first time. A couple of ex-university colleagues attended the retreat and, seeing the potential, invited Vanessa to be a full-time resident yoga teacher for a luxury boutique hotel in Tulum, on the Mexican Riviera Maya. She said yes and spent one year in Mexico, working hard and saving money for future trips. She didn’t feel like settling.

After the first full tourist season was over, Vanessa hopped on a plane again and crossed the Atlantic to visit Spain, Switzerland (where her father had moved in the meantime), Lebanon (to visit some not-so-distant relatives), then spent 50 more days in Nepal practicing Buddhist meditation. It’s there where she met a French woman who asked her: “Why go back to Mexico? Better travel to Thailand, there’s this island called Phangan, you will love it.” It was November 2016 and, after a quick trip back to her father in Switzerland, and a tour of South East Asia – Bangkok, Singapore – she made landfall in Koh Phangan at the beginning of this year.

With a little help from my nomadic friends

A personal note: I used to live on Koh Phangan for 18 months between 2009 and 2011 and I must say that this island had everything one could ever wish: amazing nature, fantastic beaches, good food, unparalleled nightlife and a very special vibe that makes it so popular with spiritual, creative people. I would have never left the island but for one reason: the Internet connection back then was terrible and I could not do my work properly. It used to take me half a day to upload an article like this one.

However, things have slowly improved and since the opening of the Beachub co-working space adjacent to the Sri Thanu Beach in March 2016, Koh Phangan became attractive for digital nomads. It’s where Vanessa’s transformation happened. It’s where I met her on a rainy afternoon.

“The money was scarce and my boss in Mexico was expecting me back, but I knew that I had more to do in Asia. So in February (which was when I was supposed to resume my work in Tulum) I made it public on Facebook that I was to run an online yoga course starting March 9th. I chose that very date because it seemed astrologically auspicious. I planned a full 3-week course including meditation, physical yoga, breathing exercises, yoga theory and philosophy.

A one month crash-course in everything.

I had to set up an online platform, create and upload videos, podcasts, reading materials and a 24/7 support channel so I could be in touch with my students whenever they needed me. Although I was fully trained to teach all these things in real life, I lacked the technical skills required to put my knowledge into an online product. I did not have the budget to hire skilled people. I didn’t even have a camera!”

The next 30 days were the craziest in Vanessa’s life. She had to find help. The guys at Beachub allowed her to use the premises (and fast Wi-Fi) for free until she got herself on track. Fortunately, a couple of videographer friends needed a model to test their new equipment, so she got the raw footage for free. But the rest she had to work and learn by herself.

“I learned video editing, audio editing, e-mail marketing, social marketing and visitor-tracking, a little bit of coding and much more in such a short time. I had entire weeks with only two hours of sleep per night. Sometimes, at 3 AM I was the only human being at the Beachub, doing handstands to boost my energy level. No time to sleep or to procrastinate. I had 58 people interested in the course out of which 18 signed up. I had to deliver what I promised. That month was a crash course in everything.”

Her fellow digital nomads helped a lot.

“These guys understand the meaning of hard work. If they see you busy doing something on your laptop they assume you’re doing something important and never bother you. But if they see you worried or asking around, they would jump off their hammocks to give you help and advice. I learned a lot from them and am very thankful.”

Eventually, the 3-week course was a success and Vanessa had all the reasons to be content: she built a project out of nothing, learned a lot of new skills and made some money in the process.

What next? How to plan freedom.

‘I want to keep traveling. There’s a summer retreat in Estonia which I really want to attend, but before that, I want to look into my online yoga course and perfect it. I don’t see it as a source of income anymore, rather a tool for self-understanding and evolution.

My family – although well-traveled and currently spread across the world – likes to plan everything in detail: from where they go on their next holiday to what books they are going to read this year. I’m not like that and I must admit that there’s a lot of uncertainty in my life because I never know what I’ll do next. But I don’t complain: look around at this beautiful place, the beach, the ocean, the trees and flowers, the chirping of birds, we are so lucky to call this a “workplace”. We should walk happy, calm and barefoot through this life.’

What helps Vanessa do her thing and feel protected?

‘The past few months brought me very close to meditation which gives me peace of mind, balance and helps me trust my intuition. When I start freaking out about what’s next, I meditate, I sit and talk with myself, I write it all down and explore where the problem is and how I should deal with it.

You see, everything we have “for sale” is actually a part of us that we give away to the world. We need to clarify our intentions: what do we actually give and why? I, for example, want to develop a way of sharing the best things that I’ve ever learned in order to make other peoples’ livesbetter.  When my intentions are 100% pure, completely free of greed or vanity, I have no doubts that whatever I have to give to the world will be well understood and received. This makes me feel secure.

Maybe I won’t do this forever. I will need a place of my own at some point. But before I settle, I feel I need to make something of myself, build a sense of self that my soul can call “home”.’

The rain has stopped and the tropical Sun is smiling wisely through the scattered clouds as if it’s been eavesdropping on our conversation. I take off my flip-flops and I walk down the beach to my bungalow, happy, calm and barefoot.

Here’s a glimpse of Thailand’s breathtaking tropical landscapes and 2 of its digital hubs.

Your Destination Wedding Day Wish List

I love watching destination wedding videos!  For instance, the music, the tears of joy, the wedding kiss and beautiful vacation backdrop, just to name a few. All couples want their wedding memories freeze-framed to last a lifetime. So, first and foremost you’ll want to compare wedding videos to get a feel for what you love. Secondly, you’ll want to create a list of what to ask your videographer. Now come the timeline and music choices. Lastly, and most importantly, you’ll want to combine all of the above using the help of a very knowledgeable and experienced videographer. As a seasoned travel agent, I’ve worked with hundreds of destination wedding couples.  Below are my six best hacks to make your wedding video vision a treasured memory.

Your Destination Wedding Day Wish List

As mentioned above, you’ll want to put your wedding in the hands of a very experienced wedding videographer. The tried and truly videographers will happily provide you with a list of their most recent work. An even better company will proudly feature their best work on their website. My Love Films.

It’s so reassuring to see the previous work of the videographer. Most importantly, because most of our clients aren’t able to meet their wedding videographer until they are in destination. If the budget allows, I also recommend booking your photographer and videographer with the same company. It creates impressive synchronicity during your wedding day events taking away any worries about your wedding day story.

Destination Wedding Videography Hit Lists

Because I have worked extensively with wedding couples over the years, I’ve learned a thing or two about what brides want. Most importantly, what takeaways they cherish most from their wedding day events. Whether walking down the aisle, or the ceremony kiss. These as well as other key moments vitally important to capture. Some golden moments you’ll want to consider are reception speeches. You never know what’s coming and many speeches are talked about for years to come. Not to mention capturing your very special first dance as a married couple.  And how fun is capturing that funny and often very memorable cutting of the cake. If the budget allows you’ll also want to consider adding in some family and friends, best wishes. In conclusion, your videographer will be your best resource in finding out what is most essential for you when you want to relive your fairytale wedding day.

Videographers – Who to Hire

There are a plethora of options out there when hiring a videographer. Especially in the Cancun and Riviera Maya region, where we do the majority of our weddings. Riviera Maya Weddings and Cancun Weddings. Photography and videography are one of the first questions my bride ask about once their wedding is booked.  Having a local videographer in your destination of choice is highly recommended. Be sure to work with a reputable destination wedding specialist planner, who can provide a list of preferred vendors. It’s a great way to help narrow down your videographer choices. Consideration of their style is another way to find out if the videographer is the right choice for you. Reputable photographers such as My Love Films are a superior company and one that comes highly recommended by (Liz Moore destination Weddings).

Destination Wedding Videographer- Top Questions

Most importantly, find out if your favorite videographer is available on your wedding date. With so many resorts available in the Cancun/Riviera Maya area, the best of the best get booked well in advance. As a travel agent, it’s one of the very first suggestions I advise my clients after they choose their wedding venue and resort. After that, your videography budget is a good idea to sort out early as well. How many hours would you like your wedding filmed? Having a running list of your wish list against the costs of hours filmed is fantastic to know early on. Of course, I always recommend increasing the budget bit for both photography and videography. There are always special moments you’ll want a little wiggle room price-wise as you get closer to the date.

Our First Dance as a Couple

Nothing puts memories in a music video like the music itself, don’t you agree. I love listening to music along as I  relive the wedding festivities. Your wedding videographer is the most valuable resource when it comes to choosing your music. They can offer great suggestions for popular playlists. They know the trends and the tried and true emotion invoking songs.   If you are keeping your wedding video, you may be ok with choosing certain popular music. However, if you haven’t used licensed music before, here is an excellent selection of wedding music to consider Most Romantic Wedding Music.

What Will my Wedding Videography Cost Me

Pricing can vary a bit when it comes to capturing your special day on film. A good videographer will offer a comprehensive list of options. Also, within a package and add, there will generally be some al la carte options as well. My Love Films Services. I recommend going through the options on the companies website. Once you have a general idea of costs, it’s time to set up a call with your favourite videographer. Skype, facetime and WhatsApp are great ways to see your videographer in person. Similarly, it allows you to build a repore and see if this is the videographer for you. I can’t emphasize enough here that having a bit of a cushion in your budget for extras is highly recommended. Once on the property, you may see and experience something that you’ll want to capture in your memories forever. It happens more than you think!

I hope you have received some helpful tips and insight into booking the videographer of your dreams. My Love Films is a popular favorite for me as well as many other destination wedding specialists.
