Douglas Zimmerman is a photojournalist based out of San Francisco, California. He specializes in photographing weddings in a photojournalistic style.
His interest in photography began as a high school student, when he started shooting for the school newspaper. Doug also enjoyed reporting, but soon found that his focus was photojournalism, feeling that it was the best way for him to explore the world around him, meeting new people and exploring different cultures and traditions.
Upon graduating from San Francisco State University with a BA in Journalism (emphasis on photojournalism) Doug spent time as a photo editor for New York Times Digital, Fortune.com and SF Gate before deciding to return to photography. Since his return, Doug has held positions at the San Francisco Business Times, as well as the Los Angeles Times Community Newspapers in Orange County.
Doug recognizes the huge responsibility of documenting a couple's wedding, and never takes that responsibility lightly. Doug's sincere hope is that the couple will be able to look back on their images fifty years from now and feel all of the wonderful emotions from that day again.
Doug's work has been featured in numerous publications including:
- San Francisco Chronicle
- San Francisco Examiner
- SF Gate
- ESPN, The Magazine
- Men's Health magazine
- San Francisco Business Times
- New York Times Digital
- New York Post

Besides photography, his biggest passion is travel, having spent a considerable amount of time traveling around Africa, Europe and Asia.
