When I have the opportunity to shoot outside of my usual area, I always make the most of the day by taking a small excursion and enjoying a delicious meal typical from that area.

With its soft light, rugged terrain, and picturesque landscapes, this stunning natural setting is the perfect location for a romantic photo session.

As a destination wedding photographer, I'm always excited to hear from couples who are planning their dream wedding in a beautiful location.

Couple Photoshoot in Parque do Calhau, Benfica — Isabel & Telmo
Would you believe it if I told you that this lovely couple was hesitant about having a pre-wedding photoshoot? They weren't exactly the type to be comfortable in front of the camera and almost didn't see the point in doing it. But I knew how valuable these sessions could be for getting to know the couple, understanding their dynamics, and capturing some beautiful, candid shots in the process.

Couple Photoshoot in Monsanto — Joana & João
Oh, that's right! Joana was my physiotherapist in 2019, during the final stages of my left arm recovery after surgery (that's a story for another day). She was the one who helped me get back in shape, just before the pandemic hit us hard.
During our sessions, while she was making me suffer a little (because physiotherapy can be painful), we would talk about this topic. We discussed how she wished for a wedding to happen, how, when, expectations, and dreams.

Their decision to marry after embracing the beautiful adventure of parenthood showcases their unwavering dedication to their family.
Elopement in Quinta de Sant’Ana, Mafra
We immersed ourselves in the vibrant atmosphere of Quinta de Sant'Ana. From the sun-kissed vineyards to the elegantly restored buildings, every element of this estate told a story.

Surprise Proposal In Quinta de Sant’Ana, Mafra — Andreia & Luís
Luís contacted me on Instagram after seeing my portfolio and wanted me to be the one to photograph his proposal to Andreia. We agreed on the time and location over the phone, and we decided that the best approach would be for me to hide until the designated moment, when he would send me a message to let me know he was about to propose. Later, we would meet with Andreia's family, who were also there to surprise her and congratulate them on their engagement.
