What moves the price in Cascais
Town, cliffs or Guincho. Cascais packs three settings into a few kilometres: the old town with its small beaches, the rocky coast running west to Boca do Inferno, and the open Atlantic at Guincho. The first two join up on foot within an hour. Guincho needs a car, so a session that ends on its dunes is a 90-minute or two-hour booking.
Edited photos. The typical hour gives you about 30 photos, 90 minutes 45, two hours 70 and a half day around 100. Up to two hours, the longer the session, the less you pay per photo.
Occasion. Couples, families and solo portraits are booked by the hour. Weddings and elopements are quoted by the half day or the day: from €795 for a half day, from €1,150 for a full day, and the typical full day costs €1,955.
Season and the beach. There is no summer or sunrise supplement: a package has one price whatever the month or the hour. In July and August the town beaches fill from late morning, so sessions on the sand work best early, or in the evening once the crowd thins.
Group size. Groups of nine people or more pay 50% on top of the package price, which matters for a family trip with grandparents and cousins.
From Lisbon. The coastal train from Cais do Sodré takes about 40 minutes, so Cascais is an easy day out. Adding Sintra or Lisbon to the same session makes it a half day, or a custom offer the photographer sends you in the chat, with the final price shown.
Quick Booking: 10% below the cheapest package
In Cascais, Quick Booking takes 10% off the cheapest package that fits your date, all-in: from €310 for one hour and €470 for two. You choose the date, any listed place and the occasion, and we assign a vetted local photographer within 24 hours. Your card is authorised but not charged until the photographer is confirmed; if we cannot match you, nothing is taken. It costs less than any one-hour package in the catalogue, and in exchange you don't choose the photographer. See the Quick Booking price in Cascais.
What the price includes
- Edited, high-resolution photos in a private online gallery, to download one by one or together as a ZIP. The package says how many.
- Payment held until delivery. The photographer is paid only after the photos are delivered and you have had time to check them.
- Cancellation. Seven days or more before the shoot: full refund. Three to seven days: half. Under three days: none. One change of date is free up to 48 hours before, and a change for bad weather is always free.
- Extra photos. Photographers often shoot more than the package promises. The extra frames wait in the same gallery, and you can buy any of them one by one at the price the photographer sets.
What clients say about this kind of shoot
Three sample budgets
A one-hour couples shoot at sunrise. The seafront promenade towards Estoril and the Santa Marta lighthouse, with the first light running along the coast and the beaches still empty. The typical hour is €352 for about 30 photos, the cheapest €345, and Quick Booking from €310.
A two-hour family session. Praia da Rainha and the old town in the morning, then the lawns of Marechal Carmona park, where peacocks wander between the trees. Budget €520 to €750, typically €570, for around 70 photos. Quick Booking: from €470.
A proposal. Boca do Inferno or the dunes at Guincho at sunset, with the photographer already in place. Most proposals are booked at 90 minutes: from €440, typically €460, with around 45 photos. An hour from €345 is enough at the Santa Marta lighthouse, a few minutes' walk from the marina.
Where Cascais shoots happen
- Boca do Inferno. A chasm in the cliffs where the sea bursts in, a short walk west of the centre. It is most dramatic with a swell, and the late-afternoon sun comes in from the open sea.
- Casa de Santa Maria and the Santa Marta lighthouse. A tiled house and a blue-and-white striped lighthouse side by side above a tiny cove, a few minutes' walk from the marina. It works at almost any hour.
- Praia da Rainha and the old town. A pocket beach between rocks in the middle of town, and the black-and-white wave pavements behind it. Empty early, packed by late morning in summer.
- Guincho. An open Atlantic beach backed by dunes, with the Sintra hills behind. The north wind often blows hard on summer afternoons, so hair and dresses fly, and the sun sets straight into the sea.
- The seafront promenade to Estoril. A flat walk of a few kilometres along the water, easy with a pushchair. At first light you share it only with runners.
Cascais photoshoot prices: common questions
How much does a one-hour photoshoot in Cascais cost?
From €345, and typically €352 with about 30 edited photos; the dearest one-hour package is €575. With Quick Booking, where we choose the photographer, an hour starts from €310 all-in.
Can we add Guincho to a one-hour session?
Only with a car and a tight plan. The beach is a short drive from the centre, but the drive comes out of your hour. For the town and Guincho together, book 90 minutes, from €440, or two hours, from €520.
Is Cascais dearer than Lisbon?
Almost the same. The typical hour costs €352 here, just as in the capital, and the floor is the same €345. What changes is the setting: beaches and cliffs instead of viewpoints and trams.
What about the wind?
Guincho and the coast beyond Boca do Inferno catch the Atlantic wind, and in summer it usually builds through the afternoon. The town beaches are more sheltered. Wind alone is not bad weather, but if a storm is forecast, moving the date is free.
When do we get the photos?
Each package states its delivery time before you book. The gallery stays open for 90 days after delivery, which is also the window for buying any extra photos.
