IT’S ME, HI. I’M THE PROBLEM, IT’S ME.

Your most romantic documental wedding photographer.

When I was a kid, all I wanted was to be a mermaid.

I was born in the mountains and raised by the sea. I love to read and I may or may not be a cinephile — my photography is heavily inspired by the movies I watch. I am also the most aloof Hufflepuff.

I love to bake, I love potatoes - even plainly boiled. Pop tarts and Ginger Beer. Foggy mornings and warm lattes. The smell of cinnamon, thyme and baby powder. I am crazy for Christmas, getting the family together and to see a table full of food and smiles, with fairy lights and all the seasonal decor.

I am the oldest of three sisters and I am lucky enough to not know what it means to be raised in a quiet house.

My love affair with photography starts between 1999/2000.

I was living in Luanda, Angola, when an Arts teacher ( Vitor) took my will to be alone in a quiet place and showed me the dark room, where we developed all the school photos and where I learnt all I know about analog photography.

In 2006 I bought my own first camera and I got my first job and it’s been a wild ride since then.

Despite photography being my love-work ever since, I have two bachelors degrees: one in Architectural Studies and another in Design.

I AM THE PERSON WHO WILL TELL YOU
WHAT TO DO WITH YOUR HANDS.

Yes, I am a Goofball

— but I keep it professional!

With me, you're not just a client, you're the main character of this love song! From the moment we connect, it's all about you.

I'll take the time to get to know your story, your vibe, and what makes your love connection truly special. Then, armed with my camera, my very cheesy fanny bag and a knack for creative prompts, we'll embark on a journey to capture it all, all the authentic moments that make your heart skip a beat.

But wait, there's more! I'm not just here to snap photos – I'm here for you every step of the way. Need help planning your timeline? Choosing other vendors? Have questions about outfits, locations, or anything else? Consider me your wedding BFF! I'll be there to offer advice, lend a helping hand and ensure your journey to "I do" is as stress-free and smooth as possible. Because let's face it, your wedding day should be nothing short of magical.

If it’s not already abundantly clear, let me shout it again, love is love, obviously.

So, are you ready to become the hero of your own love story? Let's make some memories!

If people were games, I’d be: Cards Against Humanity.

If I had to choose between pizza and sushi, I’d say: How dare you!?

Thought about this movie for years: The Secret Life of Walter Mitty.

Pineapple on pizza: Is a yes for me.

I’m torn between: Listening to heavy metal and Taylor Swift.

My secret party trick is: I can’t stick my tongue out.

Meet ISO Bartolomew De la Mancha, the purr-fectly lazy assistant who keeps things running smoothly in the office (which sometimes is my living room)! While he may spend most of his time snoozing in sunbeams or chasing imaginary… somethings, ISO's real talent lies in providing moral support. With his keen eye for napping spots and unparalleled ability to ignore deadlines.

So, if you catch a glimpse of a tail photobombing our VideoCall, just know that ISO's lending his unique touch to the magic!

CAPPUCCINO

THE

DEALER

Meet the one who has to deal with me not only getting up at 8:00 am on a Saturday, but also getting at home at 5:00 am on a Sunday — João.

Every morning, he whips up the most Instagram-worthy cappuccino you've ever seen - sometimes he even makes me an extra one to go. Despite his mad photography skills that he only uses when we travel or when I need a few behind the scenes photos, he prefers to stay home and rock the Playstation.

He is the ultimate IT guy turned coffee wizard turned partner-in-crime. And even if he's not standing beside me with a camera in hand, his unwavering support and love make every day feel like a fairytale.

And guess what, we got engaged! Read all about it IN THIS BLOG POST.

MY APPROACH

You know by now I’m here to capture all those real, beautiful moments as they happen, but when it's time for those 'formal' portraits, it's all about bringing the fun! I get it – getting your photo taken can be time consuming and not-so-much-fun, so I’m here to change that. My mission? To make sure you're not just enduring photoshoots, but actually having a blast on your day!

EDITING STYLE

Since I've been in this field for almost two decades, I've witnessed how styles are always evolving - as mine did! I want to ensure you have photos you'll still adore in 30+ years. My editing style is warm with a touch of dreaminess thrown in.

PERSONALITY

I hope you've noticed that I'm all about that FUN energy! Building a connection and making sure you feel totally at ease with me is key to my approach. That's why I'm all about those consultations and getting to know each other before your big day.

PROFESSIONALISM

You can count on me, I will always reply (sometimes it might take a little while but I’ll never ghost you!), reliability and always hitting our agreed-upon deadlines. We're all about keeping the bar high for wedding vendors – this is our passion, not just a side hustle! This is also why I won’t take +40 weddings a year, so I can commit fully to the couples that choose me.

I GOT THE KEYS TO THE DELOREAN,

DO YOUWANT TO GET IN?
