Funchal, Portugal

Engagement, Wedding

I was born in 1979, in Madeira Island, Portugal. Initially graduated in psychology and human resource management, I eventually went through some training in photography, and it soon became a big part of my life, especially when it comes to wedding photography having done over 60 weddings the course of only 3 years since I started, back in 2014.
I consider myself a sort of an hybrid wedding photographer, this because even though I have an aversion to rigid poses and a big preference for the photojournalist style, I can still direct when needed.
I basically love to capture emotions and the true ambience of locations, as opposed to poses purposely elaborated for the photo, often without any connection to reality?
Anyway, my favorite quote can tell you more about my photos than any words I can put here:
“A photograph is consciousness painting, the instant’s art that opens on the unbounded vistas of inner life.” – Daisaku Ikeda
