Hi. I’m Nia.

Nia Carvalho Portugal documentary wedding photographer holding camera

Tania, but Nia for short. (she/her)

Raised between two continents, two cultures, the sea and the mountains, I learned early that the people we meet, the travels we take and the experience we live shape our lives. Yet too often, the moments and the people that change us are the ones we forget to photograph.

Photographs become the proof it all happened.
Of who was there, who we were and the lives we shared.

Working with couples from around the world, I document destination weddings throughout Portugal, Europe, and beyond.

They say if you get a photographer to fall in love with you, you’ll live forever.

I agree completely.

Besides her joyful and easygoing approach, she is an incredible professional—attentive to details, family dynamics, and our little quirks.
