    Literally the best of the best!

    Santiago covered several events for us, including our engagement party in November 2021 to our engagement photoshoot in January 2022 to our wedding weekend in October 2022. His down to earth personality in addition to his attention to detail, discipline, and creativity were exactly what we were looking for. When we first started wedding planning, we knew that we really wanted Santiago to photograph these special memories and we are so glad he did!

    From the very first phone call, Santiago was so easy to talk to and someone we could always trust. We were able to communicate with him regularly whenever we had a question, and he was always so patient and approachable.

    Coming to the wedding weekend, Santiago felt like a family member who was going above and beyond to not only take excellent pictures, but he made sure to always check in on Mittal and me to ensure everything went smoothly! Throughout the weekend, we knew we could count on Santiago and we are eternally grateful for that!

    Both Mittal and I cannot express our gratitude towards Santiago enough for capturing these beautiful moments in our lives and highly recommend him for bringing your event to life!

    Fun, professional, amazing photographer

    Santiago is my absolute favorite person. We hired him for our wedding April 3, 2022. I can't gush enough about him and his work. He is truly talented! He’s such a funny guy and made us laugh while we were shooting. Everyone is GUSHING over the photos he took. We highly recommend him!

    Amazing wedding photographer!

    Santiago and his team were absolutely wonderful to work with and we highly recommend him! He captured our 3-day wedding beautifully and was a pleasure to work with. He made us feel really comfortable and made the whole experience of taking pictures enjoyable. He also captured lots of little details so beautifully. We love the photos he took and are so excited to have those to forever relive our favorite moments from the wedding! We really appreciate all the hard work Santiago and his team put into our wedding photos!

    Santiago Almada Photography's reply:

    Aditi, your kind words mean so much to me and the rest of the team as well! I am still so honored that you chose me to be your wedding photographer, and am so happy that you cherish your photos so much!

    Loved santiago

    Absolutely LOVED Santiago as our wedding photographer. He has incredible patience (especially for a week-long wedding), a very sweet demeanor, had great photo op ideas, listened to all my concerns with grace, is very easy to communicate with before/during/after engaging with him, and is just all around great to work with. We could not recommend him any higher, you won't be disappointed with his work or him as a vendor!

    Santiago Almada Photography's reply:

    Thank you so very much, Nisha! Your kind words mean more to me and our team than you'll ever know. We had so much fun capturing all of your wedding festivities and celebrating with you!

    Santiago is the best!

    Santiago and his team were so wonderful to work with!!! We had him for our engagement photos and for our wedding, and most definitely no regrets. He is extremely friendly, professional, and knows how to capture the perfect moment. I realize after the wedding that I did not tell Santiago about my outfit change and a "surprise" dance, but he and his team were quick to capture photos and they turned out amazing. We absolutely love our photos and can NOT stop looking at them! Thank you so much again Santiago and team! :)

    Santiago Almada Photography's reply:

    Wow, Crystal! Thank you so much for your kind words! Our team had so much fun working with you on your wedding, and we absolutely loved your outfit change and surprise dance! We're so glad you love your photos so much!

    Perfection!

    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.

    Mexico Wedding

    Best photographer ever. I am so so glad we hired Santiago for our engagement shoot and wedding in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico. Having a photographer that knows what they are doing relieves a lot of pressure and stress from the bride and groom. We are in love with our pictures and our album! We always get compliments on our photos because they truly came out amazing. He captured every important moment and detail so well and the quality is of course amazing. 10 out 10 recommend and he is worth every penny!

    Santiago Almada Photography's reply:

    Wow, Lucero, thank you so much for your kind words! I'm so glad that you love your photos and album so much!

    Outstanding Photographer!!

    We are so lucky to have found Santiago & his team! They covered our Indian wedding (multi-day event) and Santiago was incredible to work with! We kept in touch as the wedding day approached, and he was easy to get a hold of and super responsive. I think of him as family now and will be using him to capture all of our future big-events. The photos that he and his team took turned out amazing!! As a big Indian family, we have looked at and admired the photos 100s of times and each time are insanely amazed by the extraordinary work and attention to detail. We wish Santiago & his team all the very best, and they have our highest recommendation. They will capture moments to make your special event that much more special!!

    Santiago Almada Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much for your kind words, Ket! It means so much that you consider me family (I do with you two as well!), and I can't wait to capture more family events for you in the future!

    Excellent job with a crazy 2 wedding days!

    Santiago and his team were amazing to work with - incredibly professional, courteous, flexible, fun, and the end product came out better than we could have hoped. My wife and I are both not "photo" people...we weren't looking forward to the process, 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!

    Best wedding photographer ever!

    Santiago Almada and his team are the most professional, hard working, and creative photographers we have every had the pleasure of working with. They captured every moment from our four day Indian wedding with INCREDIBLE attention to detail! Did we mention that they also dealt with two of the most awkward human beings ever and made us look really really good? Did we also mention that all of our friends and family couldn't stop talking about how kind and courteous our photographer was? If you have photography needs of any kind THESE ARE THE PEOPLE YOU NEED TO HIRE! We loved working with Santiago, and he always made us feel comfortable. He displayed professionalism, compassion, and patience at all times and was incredibly kind throughout everything!!! Thank you for everything Santiago!

    Andrew - this means so much to not only me, but the rest of the team as well! Thank you so much for your kind words!
