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.
