Meet your Portugal Wedding Photographer

Hello, My name is Luis.

I’ve been a professional wedding photographer in Porto my entire adult life. I love my job and to meet and photograph couples from all around the globe at their Douro Valley Wedding .

I live near Porto City with my wife Marta and my twins, Dinis and Rafael. I love documenting their lives with photography.

I’m a very relaxed and easygoing person. I love to capture candid and spontaneous moments between a couple, but I also like to direct them in modern portraits with clean, beautiful backgrounds and gorgeous light!

Your Portugal Wedding Photographer,
Luis

Your Douro Valley Winery Wedding - Comments

When you elope to Portugal, there is a possibility to reschedule your Douro Valley Winery Wedding by +-2 days if it continuous rain.

We can adjust the timing depending on the month due to the varying sunset hours.

Please note, that this exact venue is not 100% guaranteed. They might have a wedding or event on your date and then we cannot do the elopement there. However, there are many other similar venues which i can recommend (see list below).

Please note, that in case we have guests, you will need to pay some fee for the Quinta for the ceremony. Or I can suggest you other place options, but if it is not the 2 of you, you will have to count some ceremony location fee into your budget. There are many nice locations which offer accommodation and you can have the ceremony there, or you can even dinner there. I am happy to guide you and help you chose the best fitting your needs.
