We had such an awesome photography session with Nelson! It was a big highlight in our trip to Lisbon! We love taking pictures but found ourselves to be very stiff at the start of our session. Nelson was warm and funny and made us feel very relaxed. He took us to amazing photo spots and turned all of us into models by end of our session. He was also quick in his turnaround. The photos were amazing! Thank you Nelson!

Proposal photography

Nelson was extremely helpful, accommodating, and kind. I traveled from outside of the country so I was worried it would be difficult to plan my proposal but Nelson made the process so easy and smooth. He not only did a great job but went above and beyond to help me plan the entire proposal. The pictures came out amazing as well! 10/10. Highly recommend working with Nelson!

Best results for experienced people and newcomers

Whether you think you look good on photos or not, Nelson makes it look amazing to a point I've been using his photos as profile pictures as much as 1 year later because nothing that came after, even local photographers, could even come close. One reason is that he can make even the most nervous person feel at ease in front of the camera, which gives one a more natural smile and relaxed body language, in short, a better result. Plus he's uncomplicated and efficient on the organisational aspect, which is another bonus. Definitely recommend and will return for another photo session!

Great photography experience with Nelson from beginning to end!

Nelson was great! Since we did not know the area, he helped pick a spot for our proposal and helped pull off the surprise engagement. He was flexible on timing and took us to some great locations throughout Lisbon. Nelson was extremely responsive and communicative throughout the process and we love how the photos turned out. Would highly recommend! Reasonable prices too!

A Photographer to Make Moments Special

Nelson is a masterclass in making magical moments last! He made my proposal magical for myself and my fiancée. His flexibility and willingness to go above and beyond for us is what truly sets him apart. Consulting with him on how I planned to propose was easy. He got to the location early and made sure I was aware of his position before I popped the question. He then led us around the city for the most photogenic Lisbon spots. He was lightening fast to ensure we received the photos and he made the entire album available for purchase as well. The photos were absolutely stunning from the background composition to getting the best natural lighting, he did a fantastic job. Portugal has been a special place for my fiancée and I before our engagement and Nelson’s work in capturing our love has cemented its place in our hearts. Thanks again, Nelson!

Great photoshoot in Lisbon

Great experience with Nelson! Professional yet personal touch in their photos and position. Communication was smooth from booking to receiving the final images and everything was delivered on time. I couldn't be happier with the whole process.

Phenomenal experience!

Nelson was a phenomenal photographer for my surprise engagement photoshoot in Lisbon. For about two months prior to my trip, Nelson was working with me to create the best plan given the locations I was considering. He helped me understand the lighting, foot traffic, and all the little details I wouldn’t know about since I’m not from Lisbon! When we did the shoot he was helpful with making us look natural and took us to every nook and corner of the city. He was kind, professional, and had a great sense of humor. I believe Nelson was destined to be a photographer given these traits. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to friends, family, and all of Portugal!

100% would recommend!


I had the absolute pleasure of working with Nelson while I was in Lisbon, and I can't recommend him enough! From the start, he was professional, punctual, and super communicative. Our session began smoothly, and Nelson immediately made me feel comfortable and at ease in front of the camera.

We explored several beautiful locations around Alfama. Nelson even shared some hidden local gems that made the experience feel even more special and authentic.

One thing I really appreciated was how he gave me a sneak peek of the photos during the shoot to make sure I was happy with the direction it showed his attention to detail and commitment to getting the perfect shot.

Nelson has a natural talent for capturing you in your element. He’s patient, creative, and has such a positive, outgoing energy that makes the entire session feel fun and effortless. If you’re in Lisbon and looking for a photographer who will not only deliver stunning photos but also make the experience truly memorable, Nelson is your guy!

A Memorable Photoshoot Experience in Lisbon

I had a wonderful photoshoot session with Nelson in Lisbon. He was not only professional and friendly, but also took the time to introduce each location we visited, sharing a bit about the area along the way. He has a great eye for finding beautiful angles and capturing natural moments. The final photos turned out lovely — vibrant, flattering, and full of charm. I highly recommend Nelson if you're looking for a talented local photographer to capture your time in Lisbon!

Gemini Birthday Photo Shoot!

For my birthday two weeks ago, I celebrated in Lisbon! My friends talked me into booking a professional photo shoot, even though I'm not usually a fan of being in front of the camera. Surprisingly, Nelson made the whole process easy and enjoyable for me, despite my lack of modeling skills. The photos he captured turned out beautifully and have been a hit with all my loved ones!

We booked Nelson for a couples photo shoot in Sintra at quinta da regaleira. He's done an excellent job capturing the fairytale theme. He got us very comfortable with the shoot despite having a crowd around. Would definitely get him again.
