Your Engagement Photography Experience

A stylish celebration of this beautiful chapter—just the two of you

Before the whirlwind of your wedding day arrives, your engagement session is your chance to slow down and savor what this season is all about: your love, your story, and the moments that connect you.

Whether we’re wandering through the desert at golden hour or strolling through downtown Scottsdale, these portraits aren’t just a warm-up for the big day—they’re a celebration in their own right.

Why Engagement Photos Matter

And why our couples are always so glad they did them

Connection

You’ll get to know how we work behind the camera, so by the time the wedding comes around, you’ll already feel at ease and in sync.

Confidence

We guide you through flattering, natural posing that highlights your connection without ever feeling stiff or staged.

Perspective

Planning a wedding can be overwhelming—your engagement session is a rare chance to do something just for the two of you.

Style

These photos give you the freedom to wear something meaningful, explore a favorite place, and express a side of yourselves that feels more everyday, more you.

Memories

Whether you’re announcing your wedding or creating a custom guestbook, your engagement photos become part of the full story.

Grateful Words, Lasting Impressions

  • Starr Hardin

    HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

    Santiago is an incredibly talented photographer! He went above and beyond for our Engagement shoot (we hiked up Cathedral Rock in Sedona) and even suggested an additional location. He was patient, very experienced, and all of our photos turned out absolutely beautiful!!

  • Emily Moza

    Santiago captured our engagement photos and our wedding photos and we couldn’t be happier! He is so personable and makes you feel comfortable when taking pictures. On our wedding day, he listened to us and made sure to capture every detail we asked. The photos that were given to us were beyond anything we could have hoped for and we couldn’t wait to share them with everyone. If you are looking for a photographer, your search is over - Santiago is the way to go!

  • Jessica LaMar

    I knew the pictures would be good but I had no idea just how blown away I would be by the amazing beauty of these photos. They look like something out of a fairytale and I could cry that he managed to capture so many moments of magic in that day. Of all the gifts I received at the wedding these photos are my favorite. They have captured, in essence, the love we share, caught still in a moment in time and I couldn't be any happier. Thank you so much Santiago!!!

  • Rhiannon Machajewski

He knows exactly what he is doing and what shots will be the best. Our pictures turned out perfect and we couldn’t be happier with them! Santiago is truly the best out there and I couldn’t recommend him enough. We will definitely be using him for any future photo needs. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, we are so grateful that you captured these memories that we will cherish for the rest of our lives!!

What to Expect

From the moment we start planning your session, our goal is to make the experience effortless and tailored to you.

We’ll help you select the perfect location, guide you on wardrobe choices that photograph beautifully, and make sure the entire session feels relaxed and fun.

During the shoot, we’ll direct you gently—so you never feel awkward or unsure—and always prioritize making you feel confident in front of the lens.

After your session, we hand-edit your best images and deliver them in a private online gallery, ready to be used for your save-the-dates, wedding website, or framed as heirloom artwork for your home.

Let’s Celebrate

Engagement sessions start at $900 and are available throughout Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tucson, Sedona, and destinations beyond.
