Seriously, stop your search now! Santiago is the BEST! We couldn't have been happier with his work! He was so energized and engaging on the day of. Plus he had scouted out the most breathtaking sceneries in MKE. Our pictures turned out amazing and unique. They weren't the usual cliche wedding pictures. Seriously, book him now- you won't regret it!

Working with Santiago was as dreamy as our wedding day. Being able to look back at all the moments on the best day of our lives is truly priceless and investing in a photographer was our number one priority -- and we are so glad we found Santiago, who happened to photograph another wedding at our venue, which was incredibly and equally beautiful! He is responsive via multiple channels (text, phone, e-mail), answered any and all questions, assisted so greatly in the day-of timeline (like there is no need for a day-of-coordinator), and also felt like an old friend who happened to be extremely professional and fun to work with. Santiago has an incredible eye and will capture so many moments you never even knew happened on your wedding day, while also making you feel comfortable in front of the lens. We haven't been able to stop looking at our photos and will cherish them for our lifetime. Do not hesitate to hire Santiago for any occasion!

Santiago was an absolute dream to work with before, during, and after our wedding. Before the wedding, he really wanted to know what we love in photos and we felt comfortable leaving him in charge and relaxing on our wedding day. On our wedding day, we had multiple vendors compliment Santiago on his ability to be everywhere, and yet never in the way. Looking at our photos, we can’t seem to figure out how one man could take photos at so many angles and never be noticed. It seems like he was able to take the same photo with two different cameras nearly simultaneously. He doesn’t miss a beat! His friendly and easygoing demeanor had our bridal party truly enjoying our time with him. We received over 1000 photos of our wedding…and Santiago got them to us in only 3 weeks. We can’t imagine having chosen someone else to photograph our day!

Santiago was our dream photographer. We were having our wedding out of state for us (we live in MN but were getting married in WI) and from the get go he was accommodating of the distance and flexible in terms of planning. My husband and I are both pretty laid back, and Santiago was able to ask the important questions about what we wanted on our day without being overwhelming like some other photographers we were looking at working with. On the day of our wedding, he was able to be in all of the right places at the exact right times without being too noticeable. We didn't have a huge window of time to take pictures before the reception, and Santiago kept us on track and made sure to get all of those important shots he knew we wanted. His eye for catching candid moments is amazing, and looking at the pictures each time helps us to relive what felt like such a blur of a day. I found him on [The Knot], and would recommend him to anyone and everyone on the market for a photographer. Beautiful pictures, flexible and talented photographer-what more could you ask for. Thank you Santiago from the Bode's!

We are so happy we chose Santiago as our photographer! Santiago's talent and package benefits are unmatched. We were blown away with the photos from our engagement session and couldn't wait to have him photograph our wedding. Santiago captured so many wonderful moments, as he has an uncanny ability to be in the right place at the right time. He has a keen eye for framing a shot, especially when it comes to playing with light and the surrounding environment. Looking at his portfolio we had recognized that his work tells a story; this narrative style shined brilliantly, as we were moved by the intimate, yet fleeting moments he captured to tell the story of our wedding - moments we had all but forgotten about in the whirlwind of celebration. He is fun to work with, gracious, generous, and extremely talented. A number of our guests have commented on his accommodating demeanor and ninja-like ability to navigate a venue for the right shot. We are absolutely thrilled with our wedding photos and would highly recommend Santiago Murillo Photography - he goes above and beyond to give you the very best. Thank you, Santiago!

My husband and I cannot begin to express how lucky we were to have found Santiago to photograph our wedding! He is so kind, fun, and professional. Looking back through the pictures, you'd think we had 2 or 3 photographers...Santiago was always in the right place at the right time and was very discrete about his positioning throughout the ceremony and reception. And his pictures turned out amazing! The way he captures each moment as it happens and how he captures the light is stunning. We received so many complements about our wedding photos from our friends and family! We highly recommend Santiago for engagement and wedding photos! He truly is THE best!!!

Santiago is completely amazing! He is so gifted and was able to capture the feeling of our big day so beautifully. He is very easy to work with, both in terms of being comfortable in front of a photographer and as a professional (pictures returned in a timely manner, fast reply to emails, etc.). All of our guests were joking about how quickly he was able to move around and capture everything, he didn't miss a single moment. We are so happy with the way our pictures turned out and will cherish them forever.
