Wedding at Hotel Club d’Azeitão, Setúbal | Mariana + Bernardo

This one hits different because Mariana and Bernardo have been my friends for 10 years. I've been their family photographer since their son Tomás was born, so when they asked me to shoot their wedding? 🥹

A Day Full of Surprises

This wedding was PACKED with special moments:

The bridesmaids' reaction to seeing Mariana's dress for the first time (tears, obviously). Mariana giving a surprise piano concert right before heading to the church. The groomsmen's absolutely hilarious entrance that had everyone losing it. And the showstopper: Mariana's sister Joana organized a surprise concert where she and their friends performed Disney songs with custom lyrics about the couple.

I'm not gonna lie—I cried during that one.

More Than Just a Photographer

The whole day felt less like work and more like being part of the family celebration. Which, I guess after 10 years, I kind of am. Watching two people you care about get married, surrounded by that much love and joy? That's what it's all about.

If you want a documentary wedding photographer who feels like a friend (and has probably already met your kids), let's talk!
