Destination Wedding Photography in Portugal — An Editorial Experience

 

A personal, considered approach from the first conversation to the final gallery.

We are Rui and Savannah, a husband-and-wife team of destination wedding photographers based in Portugal. Our work has been published in Vogue Arabia, Vogue Australia Weddings, seen in Vogue and Tatler, and we photograph a maximum of ten weddings each year across Portugal, Italy, France, and Europe.

Working with us is designed to feel personal, considered, and clear. We bring calm creative direction, thoughtful preparation, and an editorial eye shaped by years of photographing destination weddings in Lake Como, Tuscany, Provence, Algarve, Lisbon, Sintra, the Douro Valley, and beyond.

Every collection includes film, digital, and Super 8 storytelling, three distinct formats that together create a complete picture of the day.

OUR PROCESS

A clear, considered process from the first inquiry to the final gallery.

01

Inquiry

Tell us about your wedding date, location, and the kind of celebration you are planning. We read every inquiry personally.

02

Availability & Collections

We personally review each inquiry and usually respond within 24 hours with availability, next steps, and our collections guide.

03

Consultation

If the date and vision align, we schedule a call. This is where we get to know the details that matter: your venue, your priorities, and the atmosphere you want the day to feel like.

04

Booking

Once the agreement is signed and the retainer is received, your date is reserved. From here, we are fully committed to your wedding.

05

Creative Preparation

Before the wedding, we build a mood board together and refine the photography timeline so there is space for portraits, family moments, details, and atmosphere.

06

Final Details

Around one month before the wedding, we gather final details through a questionnaire, timeline review, and family photo list.

07

 

08

Wedding Day

On the day, we guide when direction is needed, step back when the atmosphere takes over,
and document the celebration with calm, intention, and creative focus.

Sneak Peeks & Final Gallery

After the wedding, you receive a curated set of sneak peeks within the first 48 hours, followed by your full edited gallery. Every image is selected and retouched with the same care we brought to the day itself.

What to Expect Before Your Wedding Day

A considered photography experience starts before the wedding day.

We help you think through the details that shape how the day feels and photographs — from first looks and family moments to styling, light, locations, guest flow, and the rhythm of the timeline.

When helpful, we also share trusted vendor recommendations and work alongside your planner or creative team to make sure the photography feels connected to the full experience.

  • First look and portrait timing

  • Family photo structure

  • Editorial portrait locations

  • Mood board and visual direction

  • Timeline review

  • Film, digital, and Super 8 priorities

  • Planner and vendor communication when needed

DOES THIS FEEL ALIGNED?

If you are planning a destination wedding in Portugal, Italy, or Europe and want photography that feels considered and editorial, we would love to hear from you.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

A few questions couples often ask before inquiring about wedding photography, elopements, and multi-day destination celebrations.

 

WILL WE RECEIVE EVERY PHOTO THAT YOU TAKE?

No. We carefully curate and edit the final gallery so you receive the strongest version of the story — refined, complete, and free from duplicates, test frames, or images that do not meet our standard.

FOR OUR ELOPEMENT OR WEDDING, DO YOU GIVE EXTRA ASSISTANCE?

Yes. While we are not planners, we help with photography-specific guidance such as timeline flow, portrait timing, family photo structure, location considerations, mood boards, and visual direction.
