Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How can couples find Santiago photographers for pre-wedding engagement portraits?

Q: Who are the best Santiago wedding photographers for small elopements?

A: The WPJA is proud to have some of the top Santiago documentary wedding photographers for elopements. Our members are able to submit WedElope Stories that take you step-by-step, via a 9 image picture story, through the unique and moving elopements that take place around the world.

Q: How can couples find reviews of Santiago wedding photographers?

A: We call them Client Letters. At the WPJA, we decided more than 20 years ago to avoid incorporating those third-person testimonials and endorsements that are found all too often in advertisements. Instead, we elevated our listings with the use of Client Letters, which represent the actual words and feelings of the clients who booked those Santiago wedding photographers for their own wedding.

What is Reportage?

On Instagram and elsewhere, one can see images labeled as #photojournalism or #reportage when they are, in fact, merely photos.
