Lisbon Wedding Photographer
Julia is a Lisbon wedding photographer working exclusively on 35mm and medium format film. She specialises in authentic, unique wedding celebrations in and around Lisbon and photographs weddings and elopements in a spontaneous, stress-free, artistic way, using an approach that could be called documentary but also has a strong creative element, and creating images that are honest, unique, and true to the story they're telling.
Julia focuses on what makes each wedding and each person unique and uses that as guidance for all the work she creates on the wedding day. She believes empathy and a genuine interest in human connection are absolutely essential to make a good photograph. For that reason, no two of her wedding galleries look the same - each is an honest testament to how it felt to be there on the day, amongst that specific group of people, collectively shaping their own story.

FAQ
Do you regurlarly shoot weddings in Lisbon?
Yes! Lisbon is currently one of my most frequent destinations and I can be found here many times of the year.
Which venues do you recommend for our Lisbon wedding?
Lisbon is packed with incredible wedding venues, the list is huge!. Some of my favorites are Casa Sacoto, Quinta de Sant’Ana, Quinta da Conceição, Camélia Gardens, Palácio de Queluz, Vandelli Botanical Gardens and Quinta da Bella Vista
Can we hire you for our multi-day wedding in Lisbon?
Absolutely! As long as my schedule is free for the period and it won't interfere with any weddings scheduled just before or right after yours. I love welcome dinners and I absolutely love a pool party because they show such a different side of your wedding guests :)
Can we meet in-person before our wedding?
Yes, of course! This is not always possible as most of my couples are planning a wedding away from the country they currently live in and because I spend most of the wedding season on the road, but if we happen to be in Lisbon (or any other city) at the same time at any point during the planning process, I'll do everything I can to have a coffee with you! Even if in-person meetings are not possible, we do several video calls throughout the planning process so we can hopefully feel like old friends when the day comes, and you're welcome to message me on WhatsApp at any point after booking. In other words, we'll be in touch a lot :)
We are looking for a film wedding photographer in Lisbon and love your work. How can we book you?
If you like my work and my approach to photography and think it matches what you dream your wedding photos to be, please get in touch through my contact form.
Do we get the digital files of our images even if you only photograph in analog?
Yes, of course! All my film is developed and then scanned by the best film lab in Europe, and each image then becomes a full resolution jpg file. When your wedding images are ready, you'll receive a link to an online gallery that allows you to view, download and share the files.
What are the best months to get married in Lisbon?
Lisbon is lovely almost year-round - it doesn't get too cold or too rainy in winter and enjoys a particularly dry summer. But if you're looking for a warm, sunny wedding, the best months are May, June and September. While July and August are also beautiful months, the weather tends to be very hot, so I would suggest planning a wedding for later in the afternoon so you and your guests can stay comfortable.
