The Heart Behind The Photos
I'm Rita, a passionate wedding and lifestyle photographer based in Palmela, Setúbal, Portugal. From the sunlit beaches of Portugal to the grand halls of historic venues, I capture the beauty and joy of your most cherished moments with a touch of authenticity and a lot of heart.
My journey into photography started as a young girl, tucked away in my aunt's shop, surrounded by film rolls and the magic of captured memories. Today, I bring that childhood wonder into every photoshoot, combining a documentary style with the vibrant beauty of art to tell your unique story. My goal is to create images that are not just beautiful, but also deeply personal and evocative, reflecting the spontaneity and profound uniqueness of your special day.
What sets Rita Santana Photography apart is my dedication to making you feel comfortable and relaxed, ensuring your photos are effortless and authentic. Whether it's a light-hearted joke to ease the nerves or a creative prompt to bring out your genuine smiles, I'm committed to capturing the real you. My clients often say that working with me feels like being with a friend who genuinely cares about making their day unforgettable.
I believe in the power of love, family, and the little sparks that make life extraordinary. Each wedding, engagement, or family session is an opportunity to create lasting memories that you'll treasure for years to come. From the stunning gardens of Solar do Paço in Algarve to intimate elopements at Cabo da Roca, my photography brings out the best in every location and every moment.
