Santiago Aguilar
Montana Wedding Photographer

Hi, I’m Santiago. I’m a wedding photographer based in Big Sky, Montana, with experience capturing intimate and adventurous weddings around the world. My approach blends luxury and ease of mind: I bring a calm, confident presence to your day so you can be fully present while I handle every moment with care, precision, and intentional storytelling.


Before photography, I worked as a sommelier in fine dining, which taught me the importance of attention to detail, service, and creating memorable experiences—lessons I carry into every wedding I photograph. I’m also passionate about fitness and adventure; whether I’m hiking a trail in Costa Rica or exploring the mountains at home, staying active keeps me energized and ready to capture your story wherever it unfolds.


I specialize in adventure elopements, destination weddings, and intimate celebrations, focusing on genuine interactions rather than posed moments. Luxury, for me, is about trust, personalized experiences, and curated imagery that you’ll treasure for years to come. Fluent in Spanish and available worldwide, I can capture your love story wherever life takes you.

Client Experiences

"If you are considering hiring Santiago to take your wedding photographs - DO IT! My partner and I got married at a remote lodge in the middle of a rain forest in Costa Rica where we met 10 years ago, so we needed a photographer who could not only capture the beautiful setting, but was also willing to make an adventurous trek to get to the location. Santiago did all of that and more. Not only did the pictures turn out beautifully, but he was also so wonderful to work with. My partner and I are not great in front of a camera, but Santiago struck the perfect balance between giving us enough direction to take good photos and letting us be natural enough to let our personalities shine through. 10/10 recommend."

“You have no idea how much I loved having Santiago at our wedding. He did such a great job, I'm literally in awe. I can't put into words how I feel. Aside from it being literally a perfect day, it was captured perfectly. You can literally feel the emotions through the photos. I was so nervous about all of the decisions I made pre-wedding, and in the end, I loved every second of it. I wouldn't change a thing."”
