Your engagement photographer in Portugal
Where?
From the cliffs of Cabo da Roca to the tiled streets of Alfama, Portugal offers the perfect blend of wild beauty and quiet romance. I photograph couples and proposals across Lisbon, Setúbal, Azeitão and beyond — always chasing soft light, intimate corners, and places that feel like you. If you need help choosing the right spot, I’ve got plenty of ideas.
How?
You don’t need to rehearse or plan every detail. I’ll help guide you gently through the session, whether it’s a surprise proposal or a just-because celebration of your love. We’ll move with ease, follow the light, and let real emotion lead the way. Expect warmth, presence, and a calm experience that feels more like a long exhale than a photoshoot.
Why?
As an engagement photographer in Portugal, I believe your love — exactly as it is right now — deserves to be honoured. Not just the milestones, but the way you laugh together, the way your hand finds theirs, the quiet joy of being truly seen. These photos will hold that feeling long after this season has passed. This is your beginning, and it’s already beautiful.
