Frequently Asked Questions

Iβm a documentary wedding photographer, which is a fancy way of saying: no stiff posing, no awkward directions, and definitely no missing your own cocktail hour.
My goal is simpleβIβm there to capture your day as it actually happens. You focus on celebrating, crying during the vows, and tearing up the dance floor with your friends; Iβll handle capturing the moments youβll want to look back on forever.
Don't worry, we'll still get those quick family photos (I'll handle the crowd control) and step away for 10 minutes of effortless couple portraits when the light is just right. But for the rest of the day? I blend into the background so you can just enjoy the party.
-
My full-day wedding coverage starts at β¬1,800. This includes up to 12 hours of photography coverage, 600-800 high resolution edited images, and your private online gallery for viewing, downloading and sharing your photos.
-
If you're having a large wedding (120+ guests), getting ready in separate locations far apart, or want simultaneous ceremony coverage (like capturing both your reaction and your partner's as you walk down the aisle), a second shooter is worth considering. It's available as an add-on for β¬400, and I work with photographers I trust completely.
-
On average, I deliver between 600 and 800 photographs. I really prioritize the quality of each photograph and how they complement each other, which is why my selection is very carefully thought out.
-
I'll capture all the key moments naturally, but I'm happy to photograph any must-have family combinations or special requests you have. Just send me a list before the wedding.
-
Iβll deliver 20-30 "sneak peek" photos within 48 hours after your wedding day, and your final gallery will be delivered within 60 days of wedding day!
-
I recommend booking 6-12 months in advance, especially for popular dates (summer Saturdays). I only take 20 weddings per year to maintain quality of work!
-
To lock your date on my agenda, a deposit of 20% of the full amount is required and a contract must be signed. The remaining amount is paid in two equal parts: the first - 3 months before the wedding date, and the last part - in the week before the wedding day.
-
Absolutely! I photograph weddings throughout Portugal and destination weddings worldwide.
Travel within Lisbon is included in your package β Elsewhere inside Portugal or around the world, we'll chat about travel costs based on location, but I love a good adventure and I'm always up for capturing your story wherever it takes place.
-
Absolutely! Beyond getting beautiful photos to use for save-the-dates or your wedding website, it's honestly the best way to get comfortable in front of the camera before your wedding day. We'll explore a location you love, I'll show you how I work, and by the time your wedding rolls around, you'll feel like a pro.
Plus, they're just fun. No pressure, no timeline, just you two and some gorgeous light.
-
Absolutely! And honestly? I think every couple should have one. There's something magical about holding your wedding story in your handsβno scrolling, no screens, just beautiful pages you can flip through for decades.
I design each album thoughtfully, laying out your images in a way that tells your day's story from start to finish. Albums start at β¬[X]. Want to see samples? I'd love to show you!
-
I focus purely on photography (it's what I do best!), but I work with incredible videographers and I'm happy to recommend someone who matches your style.
