Sparklers exits can be a fun way to bid your friends and family farewell after an amazing day. This is your moment to shine, take it all in, and have a great time. Not to mention the perfect opportunity for some fun creative photos but they do require planning and forethought. That’s where we as professional photographers come in. We want to bring your vision to life so here’s our tips and tricks to pulling off the perfect sparkler exit.

Rhiannon and Dylan’s wedding was held on a lovely sunny day at the Boyce Thompson Arboretum in Arizona. We had so much fun working with our couple and their families. Check out some of our absolute favorite shots in this sneak peak.

As a small business owner myself I love to support other businesses in any way I can. When I was contacted by Shoutout Arizona for an interview I jumped at the chance.

This may be an obvious statement, but when it comes to very important life events like weddings, not having that special family member or friend present can make the festivities seem just a little bit different. Thankfully, quite a few beautiful traditions exist which couples can incorporate into their ceremony in order to honor those individuals and keep them a special part of the wedding day!

Take a look at these absolutely jaw dropping locations in Arizona to get inspiration for your elopement and learn what each one has to offer. Regardless of what you have in mind, we feel confident that Arizona has something for everyone!

As parts of the country lift stay-at-home orders, many small businesses are starting to plan their reopening.

We want to take a moment to outline our plan for reopening to help our clients, employees and vendor partners understand what to expect when working with Santiago Almada Photography.

We are excited to get back to doing what we love, documenting the most important moments in our clients’ lives and working with incredible couples, families, and vendors. However, we also know that in order to do so safely, we must follow our state and federal guidelines.

Weddings are the accumulation of years of searching for true love and months of planning how to fulfill this love in the bond of marriage. Before giving the ultimate answer at the altar every couple must thus pass one final litmus test by preparing and organizing this most important party of parties.

What happens to all that blood, sweat and tears now that the COVID-19 – aka the coronavirus – is sowing uncertainty around the country? Can you do that and still hold a wedding?

I can’t even begin to speak about how grateful I am to have had the opportunity to cover my long time friends wedding in my hometown. Adrian and I met in middle school, becoming close friends in college after many adventures together in Puerto Vallarta. I was beyond delighted to meet his fiance, Yessenia, and even more so when they asked me to be their wedding photographer.

My wife Heather and I got the opportunity to spend some time in Seattle visiting with friends and taking a break from the heat of Arizona. We were delighted at the opportunity to be a Seattle portrait photographer when Rich and Deva expressed interest in having a photoshoot.
