We hired Santiago for our October 2022 wedding at the Schlitz Audubon Nature Center. The entire experience was everything we could have asked for and simply FANTASTIC! Communication before the wedding was always transparent and swift, and on the big day itself, Santiago proved to be not only a creative master behind the lens but a genuinely kind, caring, and patient person whom we're so glad we got to know.
He made us feel so comfortable, even during some of our more private moments like sharing our vows and post-ceremony pictures at sunset. It honestly felt like we were just hanging out with a good friend!

Furthermore, the collection of photos he gave us is absolutely jaw-dropping and *unfathomably beautiful*. Santiago has a true eye for catching key details and capturing emotions, expressions, and moments throughout the course of the celebration. There is such a rush throughout one’s wedding day… small things that we didn’t get to see firsthand on the day of, such as the centerpieces at the dinner tables, were commemorated in Santiago’s images. When we look back and reflect on the most important day of our lives, my wife and I will forever be grateful that we invested in an excellent photographer that helped tell our story.

Also...we hired Santiago before our wedding for a fun "lifestyle" engagement session with our rescue dog! We all had a blast together and the resulting images were so special.

We would 200% recommend any engaged couple to get in touch with Santiago. You will be humbled beyond words by his craftwork and kindness.

We loved working with Santiago for our Chicago wedding in December of 2021. He was incredibly patient with my long list of questions and did a wonderful job capturing our wedding.

Santiago came highly recommended by a lot of friends who have used him for their weddings and engagement photos. After checking out their photos, it was an easy choice to pick Santiago because come on, clearly his work is remarkable!! After doing an engagement session with Santiago and seeing our stunning photos, I had no doubt that he would capture the beauty of our big day, which was a huge weight off my shoulders and I could just relax the day of knowing he would handle it all. My husband hates photos (more than a usual guy does) but Santiago knew exactly how to make the picture process pain free for him. THANK YOU SO MUCH SANTIAGO!!!! Can't wait to see our wedding photos! 7 months later and I am still getting compliments on my engagement photos :)
