1. Say Hello
2. Engagement Session
An engagement session is included with every wedding package and it’s easily one of the most valuable parts of the experience. It’s a laid-back, meaningful way to celebrate your love story before the big day. Not only will you walk away with beautiful, personal images to use for save-the-dates or your wedding website, but you'll also get comfortable in front of the camera and with me behind it.
Once we pick a date, you’ll share your ideas and vision for the shoot, whether it’s cozy and casual, editorial and styled, or something totally unique to you. From there, I’ll recommend location options that fit your vibe perfectly.
Think of it like a photo trial run, just like you would with hair and makeup. You’ll get to experience how I shoot, how we work together, and head into your wedding day feeling confident, connected, and totally at ease.
Today’s the big day, your moment to celebrate love, joy, and everything you’ve dreamed of. From those getting-ready vibes to the final dance, I’ll be there by your side, capturing the little details and big emotions that make this day yours.
Think of me as your behind-the-scenes partner: cheering you on as you walk down the aisle, making sure your dress looks flawless, helping the day flow smoothly, and snapping all those unforgettable moments you might miss while you’re caught up in the celebration.

We absolutely love working with Santana. She has been apart of our wedding day and our little guys 1st birthday and we couldn’t be happier with all of our special photos! She is so easy to work with - super responsive , quick, and just all around makes what can be a stressful process very smooth.

Santana!
What can I say about how amazing she is? She is detailed, personable, thoughtful and has an amazing eye. We drove down the road and pulled over and hopped into a thicket of trees for the most gorgeous pictures. She made everyone feel comfortable. Santana made us laugh and went above and beyond for memorable and important shots. I could not be happier with our photos.
I paid for my friends wedding photos with her as a wedding gift and the first thing she said was, “Santana was so worth it.”
You will not regret booking her!

Santana shot our wedding and she was the absolute best. She was extremely prepared, kept me calm as a bride, and helped us both feel super comfortable throughout the entire day!! Would love to use her again for other events. Reasonable price for high quality photos!!! 10/10 would recommend.

Amazing. That’s the first thing to say about Santana AND her work. Not everyone is both. She is kind, patient, flexible, and creative. She helps you feel comfortable and guide you, even if you and/or your partner aren’t photogenic or big into photos. My husband doesn’t dread our family photos because of our countless good experiences with Santana. If you were considering booking or at least inquiring…here is your sign, do it.
