If I could give 10 stars to Santiago I absolutely would. He was our photographer for our wedding day and I couldn’t have been more blown out of the water with his kindness, attention to detail, professionalism and so. much. more. If he’ll have ...

us he is our guy for everything else going forward! During the wedding day he made not only me and my husband feel comfortable but everyone else too! My entire family/friend group commented on how on top of things he and his team were. Every angle was captured, every time something was going on they were there capturing that moment. Fast forward to the pictures and I’m just in awe. He is very very good at what he does. He perfectly captured intimate moments, beautiful candid shots of our little quirks/looks/gestures and mannerisms. Every picture was beautiful in individual ways. He didn’t miss anything and I couldn’t be happier with him during that day or with the photos I received. Gonna go back through a cry a little more! Haha. You can’t go wrong with Santiago, you are in perfect hands.

cess, but Santiago and his team made the experience enjoyable and as laid back as it could be under the circumstances. If you want a professional, high quality, friendly photographer who is familiar with all the hectic aspects of Indian weddings, book Santiago and his team!

Meet the Team

Santiago Almada

Owner

I’ve been a wedding photographer in Phoenix Arizona since 2013. I met my beautiful wife here and we had a wedding of our own. Our son was born in 2020, and we have a fur baby as well. I knew two things as a child, I loved dinosaurs, and traveling, and hoped those two would one day collide. I originally took a photography class to improve my travel photos and had no idea how much it would change my life direction. While weddings are my main passion these days I still travel and do landscape photography while I’m out and about.
