Heirloom-quality, documentary wedding photography delivered with friendliness, warmth, and genuine enthusiasm. Wherever your wedding day takes place-an elegant ballroom, a Mexican garden, a Las Vegas canyon!-it is unique to who you are as a couple and to what you love and believe. It is this uniqueness I cherish-the connections, details, decisions, and relationships that make your journey your own.
You've worked so hard and carefully to prepare for your day. As your wedding photographer in Pittsburgh, I want you to revisit it with joy, love, and fondness for the rest of your lives. I see photography as a way of capturing a reality more real than the one we inhabit. On your wedding day, I capture those moments that are more than just scenes-they are who you are as a couple, a family, and a community.

Services
Each wedding I photograph is a journey. I want to capture that journey with as much depth and detail as possible, delivering photographs that will remind you ten, twenty, fifty years later of the shock of emotion you felt when it was all happening so fast. I moved to the U.S. with my wife in 2010 so she could begin graduate school at the University of Pittsburgh.
Vibe. As a documentary wedding photographer with a boutique, highly tailored approach and a specialty focus on fine art prints, I look at how they all come together to make your day your own. I want you to relive this singular experience and emotion with vividness and joy. My contemporary wedding photojournalism captures moments, not poses, letting you be your authentic self.
Your engagement session is a fun, playful, exciting depiction of your commitment to your new married life together. As a professional engagement photographer in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, I love traveling around the city with couples, exploring the best ways to capture the essence of who they are. My engagement sessions depict a couple living the life they want to live together.
Last month, I had the honor of traveling to Oaxaca, Mexico to photograph Alondra and Fernando's stunning Mexico Destination Wedding. The festivities started the day before the ceremony, with a cocktail de bienvenida at the Casa Estambul, where guests were treated to traditional Oaxacan food and, of course, mezcal and great music.

Jorge is an absolute magician behind the camera. We are so grateful that he had our dates available for both our pre-wedding event and our wedding-day events. He is truly passionate about his craft, and it shows in his work. Added bonus: he is one of the most genuinely nice people you will ever meet! We also did an engagement shoot with Jorge, and can't recommend him highly enough for all of your photography needs.

Jorge was a dream to work with! We asked him to photograph our engagement photos for us, and he went above and beyond to make us happy. We had to reschedule a couple of times, and he was very understanding and flexible. He makes you feel so comfortable throughout the entire process and answers all your questions. His work is so beautiful. I highly recommend using him if you get the chance!

Jorge is one of the most professional photographers we have ever worked with! He is friendly, easy to work with, and accommodates your every need, aside from being an extremely skilled and creative photographer. He knows all the best spots and hidden gems around town. We have done our wedding and reception shoots with him and he was prompt, efficient, and turned around the final pictures efficiently as well. I would highly recommend him to anyone in the Pittsburgh area!

Our wedding pics are absolutely epic. My husband and I had a private night wedding at Phipps Conservatory. Unbelievably talented, Jorge's eye for intricate detail while capturing emotion through any event does not go unnoticed in his photography. He has a way with seeing the full spectrum of color. I don't know how to describe it, but when looking at his portfolio or our wedding pics, it’s as if the photos sing out to you – his artwork is an absolute rainbow of an opera. I can see why he would be a great journalist photographer too. And that's what I wanted in a photographer… I didn't want

Jorge Santiago recently photographed our wedding and he did a phenomenal job! He was so easy to work with and has such an amazing eye for detail. He captured our wedding with so much beauty and emotions in the pictures and we even got our gallery back in such a fast turn around! He was so fun to work with and my husband and I are SO glad we chose him to be our wedding photographer! He is extremely talented and his assistant was very talented as well! They both captured all of the pictures I had wanted for our wedding day and much more. They even had a list with them on our wedding day of photos

Jorge, and his assistant Alyssa, were everything I could have asked for out of my wedding photographers. Jorge photographed my sisters wedding in 2013, and did such a fantastic job I knew I needed to hire him as well to make sure I got nothing but the best pictures on the biggest day of my life.
Any photographs me, my husband, or our guests requested Jorge eagerly took, and he was particularly great at suggesting certain picture ideas, and some of the best photographs came from his suggested poses/locations.
The quality of his pictures are top notch, truly breathtaking, and I haven’t been able

Jorge gave my husband and I the best service ever. He was by far the easiest to work with of all of my vendors. He is very accommodating, and he gave us the BEST wedding photos EVER. I swear, he works some literal magic. We got ~800 photos from our wedding and it was so hard to choose any favorites. I cannot say enough about Jorge and his business. He was worth every penny and more.

Jorge Santiago Photography was the best investment I made throughout the wedding planning process. Jorge and his assistants are sensitive to the wants and needs of their consumers, professional, prompt, low key, responsive, and above all, TALENTED, I could not have asked for more from them.
My husband despises getting his picture taken and was completely against the idea of a photographer from the beginning. However, after meeting with Jorge for our engagement photo shoot, my husband was impressed and I was overjoyed! We had our engagement shoot at Cook Forest, one of the last old-growth forests

While my fiance and I were considering who could take our engagement photos, she recalled once working with Jorge before and suggested that he be our choice. Naturally, I asked her how she felt about those family photos he once took for her and she proceeded to describe how he was a pleasure to work with and how well the pictures turned out. We let him know we were interested in his services and then proceeded to schedule an engagement photo session.
My fiance and I couldn't quite make up our minds as to where to take the photos so we asked Jorge for advice. Jorge suggested a variety locations
