If I could give 12 out 10 stars I would. Santiago and his team took care of capturing every moment of our wedding day, and we could not be more thrilled. Santiago is a calming presence with his direction, demeanor, and professionalism. His team also made sure everything was in order for our first look, ceremony, and photo session after. My husband and I never felt awkward while we worked with him (we actually laughed too much and were told to stand a little more still) and we had so much trust in Santiago’s every move. Our photos remind us of each moment from our wedding and we have loved looking through every photo. Thank you so much for everything Santiago and the team!

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!
