Documentary Wedding Photographer, based in Lisbon
Real moments, no poses. Capturing your story as it unfolds.
Olá!
I am Miguel, but most people call me Brilhas or Brilhante. ✨
As a documentary wedding photographer, I’m not into stiff poses or making things feel forced. I just want to capture your day exactly as it happens, with all the laughs and the perfectly imperfect way of being.
Apart from shooting weddings, I’m passionate about sports photography, theater and also portraits. It will always involve people one way or another! 😊
As a photographer, I see myself as someone who is always alert to people’s emotions and interactions, as well as the light and shadows that I can work with. It’s one of the best feeling to put everything together and create memorable photographs.

“The word to describe Miguel is talent. It's incredible the way he captures the moment, the emotions, the expressions... He’ll do a handstand if necessary to get the photo he wants. We hired Miguel to photograph our wedding and he was absolutely incredible. He’s everywhere at all times, and at the same time you don't even notice him! All the photographs are real, alive, beautiful! The editing is careful and the colors are really beautiful. I know he does this every day but he really made us feel unique. Thank you very much Miguel! I don't think I have a wall for so many incredible photographs 🥹😍”

“We chose Miguel to photograph our wedding, because we love his work. Miguel has his own aesthetic when photographing and this was important for the records we wanted of the wedding. In addition to being an incredible professional and always available, Miguel was part of the joy of our wedding and contributed even more to making it a day of happy memories. He is a photographer who adapts perfectly to the people and style of wedding he is photographing and we couldn't have made a better choice.”
