Civil and intimate wedding photographer in Quito



A small wedding is not a lesser wedding. At a civil ceremony or a celebration with just a few guests, every hug and every glance carries more weight, and they deserve to be photographed with the same care as a big party: candid, real and unposed.

How I work

I tell your day as it happens, without directing you. I work with minimal gear so I never get in the way. Book with a 50% deposit; the rest is due no later than the wedding day, by bank deposit or transfer.

 

 

IN QUITO AND THE VALLEYS

 

Civil and intimate weddings in Quito, captured without posing


A civil ceremony, a wedding at home or a celebration with your closest people have something big parties don’t always achieve: everything happens up close. The glances between parents, the witness’s hug, the nervous laugh while signing. My job is to tell that day just as it was, without directing you or getting in the way.



Civil wedding: 3 hours for what matters

I arrive 15 minutes early, cover the signing without interrupting the officiant, and then we use the time for portraits of the two of you, photos with family and witnesses, and the toast. It works just as well at the Civil Registry, at home, in a restaurant or in a garden. You receive 150 to 200 edited high-resolution photos in an online gallery, delivered in 2 weeks.


Intimate wedding: 6 hours for the whole day

For weddings with few guests I cover getting ready, the ceremony, the couple session and the celebration. That’s about 6 hours of coverage and 300 to 400 edited photos, delivered in 3 weeks. It’s ideal for weddings at family homes, small haciendas or restaurants in Quito, Cumbayá, Tumbaco, Puembo and the Valle de los Chillos.

Novios besándose en un jardín tropical el día de su boda en Ecuador

Santi and team were professionals before, during, and after the wedding.

We spent a lot of time picking a photographer and settled on him for his skill in candid photos.

They captured all the moments, were great with our guests, and got our photos to us in a timely manner.

Thank you so much for all these beautiful memories.

Novios abrazados en un jardín, fotografía de boda espontánea y sin posar

An amazing experience working with Santi.

Great vibes, professional and with an impeccable eye.

You could see his dedication in every detail and in how he captured every angle with his gear.

The box of printed photos was the best touch.

Totally recommended!

Novios intercambiando los anillos durante la ceremonia de boda

Santi was incredible from start to finish.

He traveled over an hour out of the city to the location, stayed through the rain without hesitation, and never stopped shooting.

His professionalism and warmth made the whole experience feel effortless.

Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer who genuinely cares about your day.
