Fun Bridal Party Photo

Looking for a Wedding Photographer in Portugal?

I got you.

 

My approach is a little different

OK, go grab your favourite photo. Why is it your favourite? More often than not, what truly makes a photo great is the emotion behind it: how you were feeling, where you were, who you were with, and what you were doing.

I believe that getting good wedding photos is easy, as long as you're enjoying yourselves and fully immersed in the moment.

There's a phrase I really love: "Weddings are not about photos, but the photos should be about the wedding." I apply this philosophy when working with each couple. I don't want you to look back at your wedding and remember ME directing you on where to go and what to do. I want you to receive your gallery and relive the entire day in a meaningful and truthful way, cherishing each moment with your loved ones.

I am a documentary photographer with a touch of meaningful editorial. This means I take a "fly-on-the-wall" approach, letting moments unfold undisturbed in front of me, while at other times, I'll guide you to the best light and space.

Expect me to hand you a tissue (or a shot). I'll be there for you whenever you need, and just know that it's not uncommon for family members to ask, "How long have you known each other?"

My why —

 

I’m going to share something personal - after all, if you’re trusting me to capture some of your most valuable memories in life, it’s only right that I share something of mine.

I’ve been a photographer (in the official sense of the word) since 2019 but it was in 2020 that I really understood the importance of photography in life.

I was raised by my grandparents and in 2020 I lost my grandfather, who was the love of my life and my biggest supporter. Within my grief and the strangeness of it, I’ve searched for all the photos I could find of him and re-watched every single video I’ve made in the last years. To get one last moment, one last chance to relive it all.

When all seems upside down, memories are what keep us going, and the reason why I do what I do. Photography is what brings us those memories.

QUESTIONS

 

How would you describe your photography style?

I'm a documentary wedding photographer. That means I’ll capture your day as it happened - the laughs, the tears, the small details, the chaos and big feelings - so when you look through your gallery you can relive it over and over again, in a genuine way.

 
 

What’s the investment?

Since weddings are already too full of decisions I’ve designed my pricing to be as straightforward as possible. My base package is 2600€ which includes up to 10 hours of coverage with me as your dedicated photographer, capturing every beautiful moment of your day.

Because no two weddings are the same, I believe your photography should be just as unique as your celebration. Send me an enquiry so I can send you the full info and arrange a call to chat about your vision so we can create a package tailored perfectly to your needs.

OK, SOUNDS PERFECT
