Lisbon + Sintra

ENGAGEMENT & Suprise Proposal Photographer

Planning a surprise proposal or engagement session in Lisbon or Sintra means choosing locations that already feel romantic, very cinematic and honestly? Unforgettable!

Lisbon gives us golden light: it’s known for it! The historic streets, river viewpoints and that effortless mix of charm and city movement.

Sintra on the other hand offers something softer and moodier. A lot of greenery, palaces in the hills, misty beaches that feel straight out of a storybook. Couples are drawn here because the atmosphere is romantic without feeling forced.

STORYTELLING

SESSIONS

I’m here to document your story, not stage it.

My approach is rooted in storytelling documentary photography, capturing your connection as it naturally exists. Real moments and that couple chemistry that only you two have.

From the moment you reach out, you’re supported. Before your session or proposal, you’ll receive my client guide with everything you need to feel relaxed and prepared, from what to wear to how the experience flows. You’ll also fill in a short questionnaire so I can understand your energy, your story and what makes your relationship uniquely yours.

During the session we’ll walk, explore, talk, laugh and pause whenever a moment feels right. I‘ll guide when needed and I step back when it feels right, because the most meaningful photographs happen when you forget the camera is there and simply enjoy being together.

No stiff posing. No performing. Just a fun moment, a memory kept in photos.

If you can picture yourselves in this experience already, we might be the perfect fit.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • I’ve got you. I specialize in discreet, surprise proposals. I blend into the scene while capturing every reaction, as it happens. I make a very believable tourist.

  • Lisbon is full of dreamy spots from Alfama to Belém. And if you’re considering Sintra, I also have a few spots to recommend. I can suggest locations based on your vibe, time of day and how private or playful you want your session to be.

    You can also check this blog post : the best proposal spots in Lisbon and the surrounding areas.

  • A proposal session is short and focused and usually up to 45 minutes, capturing the surprise moment only. An engagement or couples session is longer (1h30–2h30), allowing time for a storytelling photoshoot, so you get a more complete gallery.

  • Absolutely. I advise on timing, locations, light and positioning so everything looks natural and feels effortless. My goal is to make your moment shine.

  • Absolutely! A little rain can turn your session into something truly cinematic. I monitor forecasts closely to make sure we have the best light and your comfort comes first. If needed, we can reschedule.

    In the rare case that severe weather or safety issues make the session impossible, we’ll cancel and your retainer will be fully refunded ( so you can breathe easy knowing your plans are safe).

  • Golden hour!!

    About an hour before sunset is the ultimate dream light. Early mornings can be just as magical, especially if you want quiet streets and a calm, intimate vibe. I’ll always do my best to work around your schedule and needs, but these times give your photos that light that Lisbon is known for.

  • I try to accommodate last-minute sessions whenever possible, especially for proposals, but it’s best to reach out early (2 months ideally) to secure your date and location. Lisbon can get busy during peak months and my schedule is also limited during wedding season.
