Hello
So you’re here to check out the guy behind the camera? That means a lot, truly. Choosing a photographer is a big deal, and if you’re considering me, I’m honored.
I’m a Las Vegas wedding and elopement photographer, originally from the vibrant city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Life has taken me on some wild rides, from working in tech to diving headfirst into the world of photography, moving across continents, and building a new life in the desert. And through it all, one thing has always grounded me: a deep curiosity about people and a love for meaningful connection.
But I'm still looking for the right answer to the question:
Hey Tiago, who are you?
I didn’t grow up dreaming of being a photographer. I was that nerdy kid who loved video games and solving problems with computers. But in 2011, something shifted. I started helping my then-wife with her photography gear (tech stuff was my thing), and before I knew it, I was attending weddings, holding cameras, and falling in love with the magic of storytelling.
IT'S OK, I like more the idea of having questions in mind than having a lot of answers.
The big turning point came during a workshop in Rio. I was there just to take notes for her, but I walked out with a fire in my chest and a camera in my hands. That was it. I knew this wasn’t just a hobby, it was a calling.
Now, years later, I photograph authentic weddings and intimate elopements for couples from all walks of life. Some are tying the knot under the neon lights of Vegas, others are exchanging vows in the quiet beauty of the desert, and each story is uniquely powerful.
My approach? It’s all about connection. I want you to feel comfortable, seen, and genuinely you in front of my lens. I’ll help with the planning, keep things relaxed, and make sure your day flows smoothly. And when the moments happen, the real ones, the tearful hugs, the bursts of laughter, the wild dance floor, I’ll be there to capture them as they are: unposed, honest, beautiful. That’s documentary-style wedding photography at its core.
When I’m not photographing weddings, you’ll find me exploring new cultures, chasing good music and different beers, geeking out over movies, or spending time with my amazing wife Robyn and our blended family of three awesome boys. I’m also an active Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu competitor, I’ve been on the mats since 1997. They all keep me grounded, inspired, and laughing every day.
I believe life is not about photography, but photography is about life. It’s more than just pretty pictures, it’s about creating something that lasts, that tells your story long after the day is over.
If you’re looking for a Las Vegas wedding photographer, or planning a destination wedding or elopement somewhere unforgettable, and you want someone who cares deeply, sees beauty in the in-between, and tells your story with heart, I’d love to connect.
Let’s create something unforgettable.
