"HAVING MARIA AT OUR WEDDING WAS A GIFT."

MATILDE & GIACOMO

“Having Maria at our wedding was a gift.
From the very beginning, she embraced the adventure of flying to Venice with all the accessories, suitcases, and the logistics of planes, trains, and even a bus. Not everyone can do that... The briefing we gave her was simply that we didn't want forced photos, just a record of what was happening throughout the day. And the truth is, we couldn't be happier with the result: fun moments, very natural and spontaneous photos that capture what we all experienced that day. Moreover, Maria always conveyed a sense of tranquility, even in moments that were more anxIOUS for me, and that made all the difference. Where's the button to go back in time and do it all over again?"

MARTA & TOBIAS

“Working with Maria was incredible!
She was both like a friend, bringing super positive energy, and super professional in doing her work without any drama, meeting all our specific requests. Communication before and during the wedding was also easy and straightforward (and in English too, since the groom and family/friends were international), and the delivery time of the photos exceeded expectations. But the most amazing thing is the photos themselves: they totally capture the day and transport us back there. Truly magical, what luck!
Highly recommended 100%.”

Maria, these photographs are absolutely stunning and so special! Isabel and I went through them this morning with tears in our eyes. You captured so many beautiful moments and they look exactly how we wanted! We are so so happy for you to have been an essential part of our wedding. You were so attentive, calm, easy going, free at any time while also being so fun with such great ideas! Honestly, so, so grateful to have had you as our photographer, who we will recommend to everyone! Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

BEATRIZ & PEDRO

"We chose Maria to capture the most important day of our lives, and we couldn't have been happier with this choice! Maria was the best photographer we could have had. Super professional, friendly (she was practically another friend at our wedding), and always concerned about us and our well-being. The photos, which were ready in record time, are even better than we expected and capture all the good moments we had on our day. It's almost like we're back in Alenquer! We wholeheartedly recommend Maria as a photographer, and she will be our number one choice for any photography work we need. Who knows, maybe to capture the celebration of our paper anniversary! Thank you so much, Maria, for making our day even better!"

ANA & JOÃO

"An afternoon of a photoshoot with Maria is definitely a fun afternoon. We arrive and are welcomed with open arms, with a curiosity and sweetness that no one can be indifferent to. With a very calm, smiling, and sweet demeanor, Maria understands very well who is in front of her lens! But even though she is calm and sweet, Maria knows exactly what she wants and what she will deliver, and she is tireless until she feels satisfied with what she has achieved. I saw her work once by chance, and without any reference, I felt she was the right person; meeting her was proof of that! Thank you, Maria, for making our day even happier, and for gifting us, in record time, with an incredible photographic record of our day! Would I recommend Maria to my friends? Without a second thought!"

"Maria won us over with her calm and serene demeanor, always very attentive when giving us instructions about the photographs. She also charmed our guests to the point where everyone was saying she's "such a sweetheart."

Besides being an excellent photographer, it's clear she pours a lot of love into what she does, not to mention her immense talent. The photos from our wedding truly bring everything to life again, telling the story of our day with incredible quality and Maria's personal touch.Thank you, Maria. We love you!"

"MARIA WAS THE CALM AND REASSURING GAZE..."

rita & david

"Maria was the calm and reassuring gaze in many important moments. She was part of the joy of our day so naturally that we felt her as one of us, like a long-time friend. Maria had the gift of always being present in a discreet and sometimes almost imperceptible way. After seeing the photographs, we realized: this was the profoundly intelligent way to capture the naturalness of the most beautiful and genuine moments of our day. The result was sent to us in record time, and we still can't find the words to describe the masterpiece that the collection of photographs we received represents. Seeing the photos, we can hear the laughter of our friends, hear the music, feel the pulse of such a good, intense, and lively day. The photographs are nothing less than that: truth and intensity. Maria works with great passion, and it shows: from the first moment we met until the end when we see her work, there is passion in every detail. We've said it many times and repeat it: we are so glad we chose Maria!"

"WE'LL FOREVER TREASURE OUR WEDDING PHOTOS!"

kAROLINA & dREW

"We had the pleasure of working with Maria as our wedding photographer, and I can't say enough good things about her. From the very beginning, it felt like we had a friend by our side, not just a photographer. Maria was able to make us (two people who are very stiff in front of the camera) feel comfortable and centered, exactly what you need on a busy day like your wedding day! Her calm and reassuring presence was a true blessing on such an important day, and when she saw us getting stressed, she knew exactly when to bring us back to the moment.
Maria's talent is undeniable — she captured every moment with a perfect blend of creativity and attention to detail. She wasn’t afraid to experiment with different frames, which resulted in a stunning collection of photos that we’ll treasure forever. What’s more, she managed to do all of this while being completely discreet, never once interrupting the flow of the day.
Beyond her skills behind the camera, Maria is just an incredibly nice person. She was patient, kind, and genuinely invested in making our day special. Choosing Maria as our photographer was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding, and we would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat."
