Portugal Elopement Photographer

DESTINATION ELOPEMENTS AND INTIMATE SMALL WEDDINGS

Hi, I’m Jesus

Your wedding is all about you and you decide the way of your day. I feel different from the standard wedding photographer.
I love to photograph casual people that don’t like to stick to the standard traditions of weddings.

The natural lighting is my favorite to capture emotions naturally while people seem unaware. My editorial style in black and white photos are really beautiful to capture the feelings and the connections between people. My photographs look playful, but not contrived, casual natural look in photos.

Portugal Elopement Guide

After some years as Portugal elopement photographer and photographing my couples in beautiful locations in all Europe, I wanted to bring here some ideas and tips to help with the elopement planning.

Testimonials

When my husband and I decided to elope in Portugal I was extremely baffled on how to even begin planning our elopement. Since we weren’t telling anyone about our plans to elope, I relied exclusively on blogs in the beginning. Thankfully I quickly stumbled upon Jesus’ website. I absolutely loved his style and, despite not knowing anything else yet, knew I wanted him to photograph our wedding day..

Melissa

Jesus is such a joy to work with! His work is so beautiful and something to cherish forever! I found communicating with Jesus was very easy! He responds quickly and is organized. On the day of our elopement my husband and I were both nervous and anxious but Jesus made us feel at easy and made us laugh. Working with him felt natural and he knows exactly the perfect locations to get the best shots. I received my photos quickly and I’m in love with his work for our wedding!

Stephie

Where do we begin!! We honestly could not recommend Jesus more highly as the perfect wedding photographer. It was an absolute pleasure having him with us on our wedding day and the photos he took were an absolute dream! From the moment we made contact with Jesus we were so impressed by his kindness, enthusiasm and energy. He was informative and generous in answering all of our questions and we felt really at ease about how the photography process would be on the day…

Winnie

My husband and I had only 3 months to organize our wedding last winter and I was under a lot of stress looking for a photographer.
But Jesus replied my email and he was instantly great: very professional, asking about our love story in Geneva, our plans for the wedding in Switzerland, the schedule, he even looked at the weather forecast to make the most of it.
Our wedding photos are just gorgeous. They are so beautiful, natural, and Jesus was able to capture the moment, the glance of happiness.
Jesus instantly clicked with everyone and he blended so well with the group, it felt just natural.

Anh & Fong

One of the best decisions I made for our elopement!! We live in Los Angeles and found Jesus on the internet…after exchanging a few emails, I knew I had my photographer! He encouraged me to start a pinterest page, followed me on Instagram and Facebook, so I knew he was trying to get to know me, despite the oceans between us.
The week of our elopement brought rain and Jesus politely offered me to option out, with no charge, due to the weather. I said no, we’re doing this. And I’m glad I did!!
He not only carried my shawl, our umbrella and several cameras, he carried a smile and such positive energy the entire time. It was contagious
