"Five stars feels like far too few to give Savannah and Rui of The Lopes Photography! The Portugal wedding photographer duo truly made our day as stress free as possible with their timelines, planning tools, amazing recommendations, and general understanding of everything we wanted. They helped us so much with things beyond the scope of photographers (international payment assistance, vendor recommendations, etc.). We engaged them as our very first step in the planning process and we wouldn’t have had it any other way - they helped us develop a vision for our big day and then helped make it happen!"
“The Lopes Photography surpassed all of our expectations for our destination wedding in Taormina, Sicily. From the very first meeting, you could immediately feel the high level of professionalism Savannah and Rui demonstrated in their work. Throughout the entire process, from meetings to questionnaires, they were very collaborative and informative, going far beyond the realm of photography.”
“Rui and Savannah were the photographers for our Sept 2023 wedding in the South of France. My husband and I were immediately taken by their website. There is nothing cookie cutter about their vision and you could tell the distinct style of each couple. We were so lucky they were available for our wedding. Rui and Savannah spent the time getting to know us from the moment the process started. They made sure to know exactly what we wanted, what we didn’t want, and even gave us what we didn’t know we wanted in the end. They made our wedding day come alive by capturing not just the wedding itself, but the mood."
“Savannah and her Team was a joy to work with! From the initial visioning through planning, to the day of the wedding. They showed diligence and professionalism, and engagement. Great esthetics, and gave sound advice on how to make my Big Day even more special. I highly recommend them!”
