More Than a Tour — A Private Photo Experience in the Azores
5.0(14 reviews)Sao Miguel
Hi, I’m Hugo — a professional photographer, marine biologist, and local guide based in São Miguel, Azores. I offer private photo tours designed for travelers who want more than just pictures — a complete experience. Whether you're traveling solo, as a couple, or with family, I’ll guide you to some of the most stunning and hidden locations on the island while capturing natural, authentic moments along the way. Alongside my work in tourism, I run an audiovisual company specialized in photography and video, working with brands, events, and commercial clients. Combined with my background in marine biology and years of experience exploring the Azores, I bring a deep understanding of nature, light, and storytelling into every session. I know how to avoid crowds, find the best light, and create a relaxed environment where you can truly enjoy the moment. ✔ Private & fully personalized tours ✔ Iconic spots + hidden gems ✔ Professional photos + all unedited images included ✔ Drone available (weather permitting) Let’s turn your trip into a unique and unforgettable memory.
Hugo was the perfect photographer to capture our engagement and photos from across São Miguel island. It was our first professional shoot and he put us completely at ease, capturing authentic moments and giving us good direction to improve our posing! His knowledge of the island, its history and wildlife is also incredible and provides a nice contrast from the photos. We'd highly recommend Hugo for your special moments, particularly for those not used to being in front of the camera
I loved my photo session with Hugo. He was very kind and always open to listening to my ideas and suggestions. He also shared some great tips about places to visit the next time I'm in the Azores. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and I would definitely recommend booking a session with him if you're visiting

I had a fantastic experience with Hugo. He's a great guy who really knows the island and shows you some of the best places you would probably never find on your own. He's also a very good conversationalist, which made the whole tour feel relaxed and enjoyable the entire time. On top of that, he's an excellent drone pilot and a passionate photographer who clearly puts a lot of heart into what he does. If you're visiting the island and want to discover amazing spots with someone who truly loves what he's doing, I can highly recommend Hugo.
