Surprise Proposal in Arriba Beach, Guincho — Kiana & Justinas
Picture this: a breathtaking coastal setting, the gentle sound of crashing waves, and a moment filled with anticipation and love. In this blog post, I am thrilled to share the story of a surprise proposal at Arriba Beach, near Guincho in Portugal.
Couples Photoshoot in Arriba, Guincho — Ana & Miguel
Ana is a talented wedding photographer based in Bourges, France, whom I absolutely adore.
We first worked together when I lived in Porto, and our friendship has continued over the years.
Couples Photoshoot in Arrábida — Sara & Oli
When I have the opportunity to shoot outside of my usual area, I always make the most of the day by taking a small excursion and enjoying a delicious meal typical from that area. The Serra da Arrábida is a hidden gem that offers breathtaking views of the ocean and towering cliffs. With its soft light, rugged terrain, and picturesque landscapes, this stunning natural setting is the perfect location for a romantic photo session.
Couples Photoshoot in Comporta Beach — Patrícia e Ivo
As a destination wedding photographer, I'm always excited to hear from couples who are planning their dream wedding in a beautiful location.
That's exactly how I felt when Patrícia and Ivo reached out to me through a mutual friend. After a chat on Skype or Zoom, I knew that their wedding day was going to be something special and I couldn't wait to capture all the magic.
Couple Photoshoot in Parque do Calhau, Benfica — Isabel & Telmo
Would you believe it if I told you that this lovely couple was hesitant about having a pre-wedding photoshoot? They weren't exactly the type to be comfortable in front of the camera and almost didn't see the point in doing it. But I knew how valuable these sessions could be for getting to know the couple, understanding their dynamics, and capturing some beautiful, candid shots in the process.
Intimate Couple Home Photoshoot — Bruno & Ricardo
As a couple, they have been married for over 9 years and not only do they make a stunning pair, but they complement each other so well that it was a constant joy to hear them talk about their relationship and what they have faced as a queer couple.
Mini Couple Photoshoot in Lagoa do Fogo, São Miguel, Azores — Mia & Miguel
I had the privilege of taking a few extra days and being able to rest between weddings. During one of my walks, I crossed paths with this couple, Mia and Daniel, who allowed me to take some photos of them with Lagoa do Fogo as the backdrop.
Couple Photoshoot in Monsanto — Joana & João
Oh, that's right! Joana was my physiotherapist in 2019, during the final stages of my left arm recovery after surgery (that's a story for another day). She was the one who helped me get back in shape, just before the pandemic hit us hard.
During our sessions, while she was making me suffer a little (because physiotherapy can be painful), we would talk about this topic. We discussed how she wished for a wedding to happen, how, when, expectations, and dreams.
Couple Photoshoot in Bosque dos Gaios, Estoril — Joana & Rui
Joana and Rui, a couple deeply in love, embarked on a journey to celebrate their union in a unique and meaningful way. With the joyful chaos of parenting two adorable twin girls, they wanted to create a special milestone in their lives by exchanging vows and committing to each other in marriage.
Their decision to marry after embracing the beautiful adventure of parenthood showcases their unwavering dedication to their family.
Elopement in Quinta de Sant’Ana, Mafra
We immersed ourselves in the vibrant atmosphere of Quinta de Sant'Ana. From the sun-kissed vineyards to the elegantly restored buildings, every element of this estate told a story. As I photographed Mariana and Miguel, their love seemed to blossom amidst the scenic beauty and the palpable sense of romance in the air.
Surprise Proposal In Quinta de Sant’Ana, Mafra — Andreia & Luís
Luís contacted me on Instagram after seeing my portfolio and wanted me to be the one to photograph his proposal to Andreia. We agreed on the time and location over the phone, and we decided that the best approach would be for me to hide until the designated moment, when he would send me a message to let me know he was about to propose. Later, we would meet with Andreia's family, who were also there to surprise her and congratulate them on their engagement.
