Destination Wedding in Porto
Photographing your dream wedding in Porto, Portugal
I was born and raised in Porto, and witnessed its transformation from a small city with few tourists to one of the best destinations in Europe. As a wedding photographer with extensive experience in this beautiful city, I have come to appreciate the unique charm and possibilities that Porto offers for an unforgettable celebration. One thing that helps me connect with couples from all over the world is my fluency in English, which ensures that communication is never a problem. I’m also learning German, although I must admit I’m still at the stage where ordering a coffee can become an unintentional adventure! But practice makes perfect!

Helping you find the perfect location
Selecting the right venue is one of the most important decisions for your wedding day, and I understand how complicated it can be. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of photographing weddings in a wide variety of locations – from luxurious venues to wine estates in the Douro Valley, and even intimate seaside locations along the Atlantic coast. Each venue has its own character and I’ve seen first-hand how the right setting can elevate your celebration.
Having worked in various types of venues, I can provide valuable information on what might work best for your style, number of guests and vision. Are you dreaming of an outdoor ceremony surrounded by vineyards? I can recommend venues with breathtaking views and lighting that will make your photos unforgettable. Do you prefer a grand and elegant celebration? I know venues that offer timeless charm and sophistication. Whatever your taste, I can guide you to a location that is not only stunning, but also aligns perfectly with your vision for the day.

Over the years, I have worked with some of the most talented wedding planners, florists, caterers and other suppliers in Porto. These professionals are not only competent, but also passionate about creating magical experiences.
Whether you need a wedding planner who can help with all the details or a florist who can design breathtaking arrangements, I’ll be happy to put you in touch with reliable suppliers who share the same high standards as me. By working with professionals who know Porto inside and out, you can relax and enjoy the planning process, confident that your big day is in the best hands.
