Portugal & Algarve Wedding Photographer
A UK-based destination wedding photographer and film-maker for Portugal. Algarve villa weddings, clifftop ceremonies and city weddings in Lisbon, photographed quietly and filmed too.
Why Portugal
An Algarve wedding should feel like a holiday with everyone you love.
Most couples who choose the Algarve want it easy: a villa, a pool, good food and a week with their favourite people. I fit round that. Group photographs are quick, and then you're back in the shade with a drink.
I haven't photographed a wedding in Portugal yet, so the first couple gets their photography free. Details are below.
Founding couple: Portugal
Your Portugal wedding photography, free.
For the first wedding I photograph in Portugal, the photography is free. You cover the travel.
The photography
Photography is free, and so is the highlight film, for now.
The travel
My flights (with camera kit), accommodation, local transport, and any fee your venue charges outside suppliers.
The full service
The same contract, the same care and the same full gallery as any couple who books me at home.
One founding couple per country. Once it's booked, the offer comes down. In return, I'd like to share your photographs and film on this website.
Where in Portugal
Portugal wedding locations I cover.
The Algarve
Villas, beach clubs and clifftops along the south coast. The most popular part of Portugal for UK couples.
Lisbon
Tiled streets, rooftops and palaces, with the coast twenty minutes away.
Sintra
Wooded hills, palaces and gardens just outside Lisbon, and noticeably cooler in summer.
Planning notes from behind the camera
When to go
The Algarve has a long season. April to June and September to October are usually warm and comfortable. July and August are hot and busy.
Light and timings
By the coast, the hour before sunset is the one to protect. I'd plan a late afternoon ceremony and take you to the cliffs or the beach for ten or fifteen minutes as the sun drops.
Getting there
I'm based in Guisborough, North Yorkshire, between Teesside and Newcastle airports, with Leeds Bradford and Manchester within reach. I plan to arrive the day before your wedding.
Good to know
Portugal wedding photography questions.
Do you cover Algarve villa weddings?
Yes. Villas are ideal for the way I work, because everything happens in one place and I can stay out of the way.
Can you help us choose an Algarve wedding venue?
I can tell you what to look for from a photography point of view: shade for the ceremony, where the sun sets, and somewhere to go for portraits nearby.
Is the founding couple place for Portugal still available?
If you can see this offer on the page, yes. I take it down as soon as the place is booked.
Can we legally marry in Portugal as a UK couple?
The rules differ by country and they do change. Many UK couples do the legal part at home and hold a symbolic ceremony abroad. Check the government's getting married abroad tool for the current position.
Do you make wedding films as well?
Yes. I can photograph the day and make a highlight film, so you only fly one person out.
