Why wedding photography / videography?
I love music, cinema and photography ever since I was a kid. After being a musician for years, I started doing video around 2011, and shot my first weddings in 2014. Fell in love instantly with it. I spent the full day with a smile in my face, as well as during the edit. So I was hooked and have been ever since.
Being able to live and share my couples’ day is an honor and a privilege, where I have fun, get emotional, and give my everything to create these precious memories.
What’s your shooting style?
I like to feel free when shooting. It’s just me, my camera and a couple of lenses. That way I can be 100% focused on the moments. I press the record button and just let everything flow. I also like to get experimental with the way I capture some moments, so to create a different kind of movie and feel.
I love being a part of the day, interacting and having fun, but at the same time observing the day from a unique point of view, not interfering with the natural moments.
Do you work alone or with a team?
I work alone most of the times, just me and my camera, but also have the option of bringing a second shooter, if you decide that way.
Do you shoot weddings abroad?
I do. Most of the weddings I shoot are in Portugal, but I love going international and capturing different realities, places and customs.
What packages and videos do you offer?
I deliver a 15mins video and a 1-2mins IG video. My 15 mins video are edited chronologically with a lot of emphasis on the fun and emotional moments, sound bites, and people. That’s because I believe the people and those moments are the most important 20, 30, 40 years from now, when you rewatch the video.
The IG video is where I get more experimental, and put my artistry and soul, deconstructing the day, and creating something impactful and that’s a mirror of you and your day.
Do we get to choose songs for our videos?
Yes, I always encourage my couples’ to suggest songs for the 15mins video. That way, it has even more to do with you, and I use them with choices of mine, to create the best video possible. Regarding the IG video, I choose the song in that case, depending on what I feel connects better with your day and the images.
What’s your delivery time?
The delivery is done digitally 4 to 6 months after the day.
Is there a time limit to the coverage?
All packages are priced to a maximum of 10 hours.
How many weddings do you do per year?
I take around 25 weddings per year.
