About

Auey Santos, CPP specializes in contemporary wedding photography that reflects today's casual and fun lifestyle. Known for her spunky personality, she crafts the wedding experience to be laidback, casual and fun all while getting the job done. Whenever possible, Auey likes to keep it simple using available light and natural elements in photos. Her wedding photography style is unobtrusive, allowing events to unfold before the camera. Her latest work has been published in the coffee table book "The Modern Balikbayan Bride" and has won awards in the Bay Area photography circles. Beyond the technical merits of her work, Auey is also bright and charming - a natural empath and a witty woman whose exterior often belies the passion of the artist within.

In September 2009, Auey was recognized as a "Certified Professional Photographer" by the Professional Photographic Certification Commission. The commission's high stringent exam and image critique review is among the highest in the country, with about 3% of professional photographers passing each year.

All wedding packages include full-day coverage by two photographers, an online slideshow, post-production of images, and a DVD of the high-resolution files. Packages start at $3600. Heirloom wedding albums, enlargements and guestbooks are also available.

What can I say about Auey? She is fabulous! She was not only great with offering her photography services, but she was so helpful in recommending other wedding vendors like make-up artist, event planner, etc. We had interviewed other photographers, but instantly clicked with Auey. She understood that we were a specific type of couple that was very opinionated about what we liked and what we weren't looking for. She understood our needs which was key because these pictures are going to last a lifetime. Auey was very responsive and attentive to our questions and spent a lot of time learning about us as a couple and hearing our love story to be able to capture these special moments. I think it's important for a photographer to know his/her couple. We got a great deal hiring Auey to handle our engagement shoot as well as our wedding day. We had a great time with her Beloved Engagement session. I highly recommend Auey because she truly cares about her customers and the quality of photos we got were fantastic. I couldn't be happier. I definitely plan on recommending her to everyone I know and may even tap her in the future to take some family photos! You can't go wrong with Auey! Thank you for your hard work!

Auey was fantastic! We hired her for an engagement photo shoot and for our wedding day.

She is super nice, easy to work with, great with suggestions and really has a great eye for composing shots.

We even did a walk-through a few days before the wedding so she would know exactly where she wanted to take our first look shots as well as the rest of the wedding day photos.

Auey was our amazing photographer for our wedding. She knew exactly when to get involved and when to let the moments play out, but most importantly, her and her team's photos came out so fantastically, the love between my husband and I was truly palpable. We spared no expense on our big day and we feel so lucky that it was all expertly captured. In addition, she is very organized and responsive during the planning process which is so vital when you are orchestrating the biggest party of your life. Even our family & friends all have commented how beautiful our pictures came out. Bravo to Photograffiti!

Wow, where to start! Auey is an amazingly talented person who brought a great deal of energy and planning to this very important event! From the moment I met her I knew my wife Sofia & I were in the hands of someone who absolutely cares and enjoys what she does. Auey captured the moments that truly mattered and provided my wife/family with the invaluable gift of love, loyalty & honor, all in the form of pictures I will have and appreciate for the rest of my life. 5 out of 5 stars (although Auey's service surpasses any ratings) for the most important part of my wedding, next to the bride of course! Thank you so much for everything Auey!!!!! -Eli & Sofia

Auey was extremely personable and jumped right in when the wedding photographer we had booked bailed a month before the wedding. She is warm and funny, a wonderful person to work with. Her pictures came out beautifully - I've had multiple friends and family members compliment them. I cannot say enough good things about her.

Auey was really great with us at our wedding. I get really stiff and awkward during photoshoots and she was able to help us loosen up and actually have fun! And it's reflected in the photos. She was great to work with and I highly recommend her

Auey is the best photographer I could ever wish to have,
We had great time taking engagement photos. Auey has an amazing eye and is able to capture the fun, the emotion, the laughter. On my wedding day, she did a super amazing job by capturing every single moment I wanted. She's extremely reliable and professional, her imagination and creativity will wow you and everyone who looks at your photos. Everyone who looks at our photos are truly blown away!

Auey is great; not only does she have amazing photography skills but also great personality and the ability to work very well with you and your guests. We both loved the pictures and received so many positive comments from guests and those who couldn't make it to the wedding. From the consultation in the beginning to the personalized DVD at the end (she used one of our favorite shots as the cover case; it was quite a nice surprise!), our experience with Auey was nothing but memorable and enjoyable.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Auey is personable, fun, witty and absolutely passionate about giving the best of herself to life, art, and her clients. After working with Auey at several wedding/portrait shoots, and listening to her speech regarding using "beloved" approach to photograph people, I can not help but feel lucky to have known this person - so truthful and inspirational. Auey is a photographer who not just SEEs you with an eye and a camera, but with her heart. She has deep appreciation of the beauty of genuine human connections - That is what makes her works special and moving. A photo session with Auey will make you feel more alive and more LOVED. You'll have to experience it yourself!

Auey is one of the most enjoyable people you'll ever meet! She's full of bubbly energy that brings something extra special to a bride & groom's day. When looking for a photographer you should look at their work (obviously, right?), their personality and how well they work with others. Auey has got it all! She is such a breeze to work with and truly understands that a group of vendors for a wedding is team, and she's there to help! Add to the equation work that is artistic, fun, gorgeous and you've got a winner. Can't recommend her high enough!
