  • You’ll receive a curated gallery with all the best moments. For weddings, I usually deliver between 700–1000 fully edited photos, depending on the coverage time.

  • The full gallery is delivered within 2 to 3 months. You’ll also receive a sneak peek with some highlights a few days after the event.

  • Yes! I’m based in Portugal but available for weddings all over Europe and beyond. Travel is one of the best parts of this job.

  • Absolutely. I always recommend a quick video call — it’s a great way to get to know each other and understand if we’re the right fit.

  • I often photograph solo, but depending on the scale of your event or needs, a second photographer can be added as an extra.

  • Yes. You can choose from high-quality prints and handcrafted fine art albums. These can be selected after your gallery is delivered.

  • Simple: fill out the contact form with your details. If your date is available, I’ll send you a proposal, contract and payment info. A booking is confirmed after signing and paying the retainer.

  • Of course! I’ll guide you on the best times for light, portraits and key moments — always with flexibility to make the day flow naturally.
