Testimonials
What our customers say about us...
I contacted Bruno to help photograph and plan a proposal in the Douro Valley. It was a pleasure to work with him and i am still in awe of the beautiful scenes he framed and captured on that day.
Anna & Mattews
Bruno was incredible! We are from the USA. He helped us with everything, including suggesting ideas for locations for the sessions. On the day of the shoot, she was friendly and made the experience fun. I recommend his!
Marisa & Joseph
While we reviewed everything, experienced this day and all the emotions again. Absolutely all the cool moments and even those that were not expected, you managed to capture! There are so many amazing photos that it's just eye-opening!

FAQ's
What is your photography style?
I feel different from the standard wedding photographer. I love to photograph casual people that don’t like to stick to the standard traditions of weddings.
My style is as discreet as possible and can be generally categorised as "documentary". This means I focus on events as they happen, telling the story as it unfolds.
However, I do give certain guidelines when necessary, but in a natural and casual way. My approach is less about posing and more about your genuine interaction as a couple.
Do you shoot destination weddings?
I'm currently based in Porto, in the north of Portugal but I'm available to travel for sessions and weddings nationally and internationally. Many of my weddings are in Lisbon or Algarve.
I love travelling and photographing in new places!
Do you photograph alone?
It depends!
when it comes to weddings I think it is a great idea to have at least a main photographer and a second photographer for a couple of reasons:
Better coverage of all the moments of your day, higher diversity of angles (full shots and detail shots at the same time), flexibility (capturing different moments happening at the same time), additional backup for photo gear and storage of your photos.
For all these reasons, my main package already includes the second photographer.
How does the process work?
1º Get in touch
Send me a request with all the details, your wishes and preferences and I will be back to you in up to 48 hours.
2º Have a call or personal meeting
Always recommend meeting before the weddings. It’s very important to know each other and to make a connection. If that’s not possible we can always have a video call.
3º Sign contract ans pay the advance payment
If we were a good match and we decided to go together, I will send you the contract and the payment details. You have to sign it and pay the retainer which is around 30% of the amount.
4º Your booking is confirmed
Only after signing the contract and paying the advance payment, your booking is confirmed! Congratulations, let’s create some magic together!
Do you offer customized packages?
Yes, I do! Since each wedding is unique, I offer the possibility to either customize the packages I have available by adding or removing services from their structure or to create an entire package just for you!
