DOCUMENTAL WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

in Portugal, Europe & USA

Hi, I’m Nia.

Tania, but Nia for short!

I’m a Sintra based wedding photographer documenting celebrations all across Portugal, throughout Europe and wherever your story decides to take us next (yes, I’ll cross oceans for love, passport is ready!).

I photograph with a documentary eye but an editorial aesthetic, detail oriented and focused on people interactions as well as preserving the narrative of the day.

Book me to photograph your story

Moments & people are worth remembering.

Everyone. Everything. Anywhere.

making it look epic.

MY APPROACH TO WEDDINGS

The first thing you should know is that I’m completely locked in your day from the moment I step out of my car until we ‘re rocking the dancefloor. I may seem calm on the surface, but there’s no off-switch, really. I’m constantly watching, moving, observing and documenting even when I’m chatting with your guests (and yes, I talk a lot!). I’m always hunting for glances and laughs, quiet interactions, the tears, the tiny details and even the people who try to hide from me ( yes, happens a lot! ).

I don’t just photograph your day, I live it. I immerse myself fully, more as a guest than “the photographer,” dancing, cheering, laughing, talking to everyone. The dancefloor? Love it! Find me jumping up and down with a camera on my hand.

Film photography adds another layer to this obsession. It slows me down, makes every frame intentional. With a limited number of exposures, I pause, I watch, I pick the exact moments that deserve to be preserved forever. The result is perfectly imperfect, alive, full of intention. The same approach I try to bring to digital.

Every wedding is a day of moments, your moments. The big ones, the little ones, the ones you didn’t even know were happening. And at the end of it all, I get to hand you a gallery of images that are not just beautiful, but tell your story.

That trust it’s the thing I take most seriously and there’s nothing better in the world than spending a day with great people, documenting love.

Featured Locations

Portugal is vast.

The scenery changes. The feeling stays.

Lisbon

Golden light, tram bells, tiled streets, historical buildings and just enough chaos to keep things interesting and impossible not to romanticise.

Sintra

Misty forests, endless greenery, moss-covered paths and soft light that makes the whole place feel like an enchanted storybook.

Alentejo

Sunburnt fields, long roads, olive trees, giant skies and the kind of quiet that feels expensive. The softest side of Portugal.

Beyond Portugal

Some places deserve a passport stamp and a very good outfit. I’m always down for both.

The booking process is quite simple

Film is a truly special format of photography and I would truly love to be able to give you these pure, tangible memories of your wedding day. Let’s make some magic and create a gallery to immerse yourselves in for a lifetime.

THE ANALOGUE EXPERIENCE

BESPOKE

Fine ART ALBUNS

There is very little that compares to seeing your photographs in print. Screens are fleeting, but an album is something you reach for, something that lives in your home and quietly becomes part of your story. Years from now, you’ll pull it off the shelf with friends, with family, maybe even with future little ones and it all comes rushing back.

We live in a beautifully digital world, but your wedding deserves more than a folder lost somewhere in the cloud. Your photographs were meant to be held, passed around, revisited on slow Sundays and celebratory dinners. An album turns your memories into something tangible, something lasting, something real.

This is your first family heirloom.

BUT NIA,

WHAT IF I STILL HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS?

No problem at all. Having questions is totally normal thing and I’d rather have you comfortable with all the answers I can give you.

Just give me a shout, I’ll answer as soon as I can, with all the best information I gathered, always.

It depends on how big your wedding might be. If I ever need assistance, or if a second shooter is needed, I will be sure to consult with you before bringing anyone else on board.
If it’s close enough or if I am on vacation near a venue I will book a tour to check it. If the venue you chose it’s far away, I will contact the venue itself if I have questions and do my homework, this might include arriving earlier to the location so I can scout it before your big day.
I don’t have a minimum or a maximum number of photos to deliver. I selected the best ones that tell your story in the best way possible. If you have guests that are uncomfortable with the camera, or if you skip the couple pictures that might result in a lower number of photos.
I don’t do full-on wedding films, but I do create content for little reels, fun clips, or highlights depending on your package.
Want a proper wedding video? I’ve got a few incredible videographers I trust 100% and they’ll make your story move and feel as wild, real, and beautiful as your photos, and I’ll make sure everything vibes perfectly together.
Collaborative, honest, and straightforward. We're here to guide the process, bring ideas to the table, and keep things moving.
