About Us
Meet Miguel
CASCAIS, LISBON, PORTUGAL + ALL OF EUROPE
Hello and welcome to Boris The Cat – Wedding Photography, where I dedicate myself to capturing life’s most important moments: love and the birth of new families!
Photographing weddings is much more than my profession. It is a mission! … it is a key and extremely important moment in any couple’s life! Therefore, it must be recorded with nothing less than all our creativity, commitment, and dedication, so the final result conveys all the dignity the moment demands.
I have been a professional photographer since 1997 and started with weddings, by a twist of fate, in 1999. After completing the professional photography course at ETIC, I specialized in photojournalism. Upon trying wedding photography, I was absolutely captivated by the entire dynamic associated with such a celebration.
Throughout all these years, accompanied by my fantastic team, we have reached a level of technical and workflow refinement that allows us to guarantee all couples absolutely incredible photographs, while taking up the minimum amount of time possible on your wedding day.
We specialize in shy couples or those who don’t feel comfortable in front of the camera. Our discreet approach and “ice-breaking” humor ensure you forget we are even there. No forced poses or awkward smiles—just you, natural and happy.
I love to chat, so I would love to hear from you about your plans and dreams. Feel free to contact me.
Our approach
Documentary, Timeless, and (Almost) Invisible
The Boris the Cat philosophy is simple: the wedding day is yours, not our photo studio! Since 1999, we have specialized in documentary and fine art photography in Portugal.
This is how we transform your day into a visual heritage:
Our focus
Whether it’s a Destination Wedding in a palace in Sintra, a rustic farmhouse in Alenquer, or by the sea in Cascais, our mission is only one: to ensure that, in the future, the photographs make you feel exactly what you felt on that day.
“More than understanding photography… the pedagogical way and the experience (already spanning several decades) that Miguel made a point of transmitting, even without realizing it, made us very comfortable on our Big Day, providing memorable work”
Barbara & Tomás
Our process
From the First Conversation to the Album in Your Hands,
a Process Designed for Zero Worries.
1.
Video Call
(no obligation)
We get to know each other. I listen to your story and your plans. I talk about my work. No pressure. If there is a “fit,” we move forward.
2.
Engagement Session (recommended)
We work together for the first time. You learn how I work. I learn the best version of you. On the wedding day, it’s all more natural.
3.
The Wedding Day
(Enjoy)
I document everything: from the morning jitters to the last song of the night. No interruptions. No poses. Always with a good mood.
4.
The Gallery
(1-2 Weeks)
While you are on your honeymoon, I edit. When you return home, your memories are waiting for you. Not in 6 months. In 1 to 2 weeks.
