“Working with Carol was a truly wonderful experience. We clicked immediately during our first phone conversation and there was no doubt in my mind that we wanted her to photograph our wedding.

First up was our engagement shoot at Vanderbilt Mansion about 1 year before our wedding. Carol took 2 people with no experience in front of a camera and made us feel so incredibly comfortable, guiding us with some poses but mostly just letting us be ourselves. It felt as if we had a friend following us around taking our picture, and they came out beautiful!

Fast forward to the wedding day. When Carol and John arrived the morning of the wedding, I breathed a huge sigh of relief. Any nerves I had about the flow of the day were instantly gone because I knew we were in the best hands.

Something that I told Carol during our initial phone call was that in addition to the traditional posed pictures, I wanted to see the moments during the day that my husband and I may have missed, and boy did she deliver! The photos that Carol and John captured at our wedding were simply amazing.

Communication was phenomenal. Carol kept in touch often, not just the weeks and days leading up to the wedding but also after the wedding while she was editing our gallery. The wedding day flew by in an absolute heartbeat, so when we got the gallery back my husband and I were so excited to relive the entire day! The photos were stunning and we were hard pressed to choose a favorite because we loved ALL of them! I teared up looking at all of the special moments that my husband and I get to cherish for the rest of our lives.

There is no shortage of photographers to choose from in the Hudson Valley, but when you work with Carol Santiago, you will not only get a professional who is amazing at her craft, you'll get the sweetest and kindest person, who puts her heart and soul into her work and delivers images that you will cherish for a lifetime. If you choose Carol to capture your special day, you will not be disappointed.”

“Great people to work with, very accommodating as to where and what we wanted pics of, great with all the guests at the wedding. Overall more than what we could have hoped for at our daughters wedding. Can't go wrong choosing them.”

“I would highly recommend Carol. My fiancé hired her for a surprise proposal and the results were incredible. Carol makes you feel like you've known her for years and is very professional. Her photos told a story of an amazing day that I will cherish forever. Even in the heat and with delays she was a trooper!!! Her communication is excellent and sent us sneak peak photos that night and by the end of the weekend we had an album. Carol, thank you for being part of our day.”

    “My husband and I enlisted Carol Santiago Photography's services for our wedding day. We were so happy to have Carol and John capture our special day. They were so professional, reasonably priced and captured all our memories. They not only took all the pictures we hoped for, but many moments and candids that we didn't even notice. We are enjoying reviewing the pictures and revisiting such a wonderful day! We would highly recommend their photography expertise! Thank you Carol and John”!

    “My husband and I hired Carol for our wedding in October of 2021. I knew from our first phone call that I wanted to hire her! Carol was very professional and very easy to talk to. Over several phone conversations and emails, we worked together to plan the entire wedding day timeline! The process of booking our wedding date, to having a engagement session, all the way to receiving our photos after the wedding was completely stress free and exciting! Once the excitement ended we purchased the most beautiful wedding album from Carol and worked closely with her to make it absolutely perfect! We hope to work with Carol again in the future”!

    “My wife Renée and I had Carol photograph are special day at locust grove a few weeks back and she did a fantastic job. Her and her husband John who assists her actually came to our home a week before the wedding just to go thru our itinerary, dances, wants and needs, poses and just to get to know each other. It really made me for one, to feel very comfortable the day of the wedding cause I hate taking photos.

    Carol Santiago photography went above and beyond for us and we can’t recommend them enough.

    Thanks from the bottom of our heart.”
