We LOVED Ksenia. She was friendly, easygoing, and made us laugh. We're a bit camera-shy, but she made us feel at ease. We really loved the photos. Ksenia, thank you so much!-HilaryView Photographer profile
Nelson was a fantastic photographer. We did a couples photoshoot in Lisbon, and Nelson did an amazing job of capturing the essence of the city by taking us to the best spots. The lighting and angles turned out perfect, and we now have so many beautiful photographs to hold on to forever.-AbhayView Photographer profile

I chose Carlos André for the photo shoot because I loved the pictures on his portfolio. I’m glad I did. We got similar pictures and a lot more!

He was easy to communicate with, and quite understanding when we arrived late 10 minutes (Lisbon traffic! ). He obviously knew the area very well. We got beautiful pictures. Obrigado!!!-MariaView Photographer profile
We decided after being in Lisbon for two days that we really wanted a professional photographer to capture the the memory, so after reviewing the several photographers available, we chose Nelson.

We are so glad we did. He helped us select a great location that was uniquely Lisbon, but also not overly crowded. He was very flexible since the "golden hour" did not occur exactly on schedule..lol. He helped us loosen up for those natural shots.

The end product, was amazing, with so many images to choose from (family, and individual shots of the four of us). I would definitely use Nelson again.-AndreView Photographer profile
Carlos is an amazing photographer who was a clear professional right from the start of our photo shoot. He guided us through the process and knew the best locations with the perfect lighting for photos we will cherish for a lifetime. We highly recommend Carlos, who is not only a great photographer but also extremely responsive, on time and thoughtful.-PaulView Photographer profile
Nelson was awesome! He helped a lot with picking a good location, was flexible on timing, and did a great job with all the subsequent photos. We are glad we worked with him and are very excited about the final photos.-NathanView Photographer profile
Carlos was patient and funny. He worked well with my kids and managed various weather and site-specific situations with ease. I highly recommend him.-AutumnView Photographer profile
Dimas was incredibly helpful during our shoot. My fiance and I are definitely a little awkward when it comes to posing for photos, but Dimas made it feel natural and gave some great tips. The photos came out so fantastically and way better than I imagined. If you're a little awkward like we were, I 110% recommend you go with Dimas.-Joshua A.View Photographer profile
