A brief moment just for the two of you in the best light of the day, with our natural direction and careful framing—unhurried and in high spirits, so you get the best of both worlds… and so your mothers are happy too.
The rest?… It’s just life happening!

About Miguel

Hi, I’m Miguel, The Photographer Behind the Lens.

I have been a professional wedding photographer since 1999. From my base in Lisbon and Cascais, I have the privilege of traveling across the country, from north to south, and throughout Europe to capture the stories of the most incredible couples.

What do you gain by working with me? The peace of mind of having a professional who becomes invisible. My focus is photojournalism: I capture laughter, tears of joy, and tight hugs without ever interrupting the natural and organic flow of your event.

And for those in love with timeless aesthetics, I complement the digital coverage with the unique and poetic texture of analog film photography.
