Intimate couples photography for people who hate posing
5.0(16 reviews)I'm Patricia, a couples and family photographer since 2016 based in Lisbon, also working in London. I studied set design in university which has highly impacted the way I photograph today. I don't direct photoshoots the way most photographers do. In fact, your pretty photos will only be a natural consequence of an immersive, romantic and deeply intentional experience. Through connection exercises and gentle prompts I help couples slow down, tune into each other, and actually be present together. What gets captured after that looks completely different from standard posed portraits because it is. My aesthetic is dark, intimate, cinematic, and highly influenced by Caravaggio's use of light and shadow. I'm drawn to the unguarded moments: the laugh that wasn't planned, the quiet glance between two people who know each other well, the teary eyes after a moment of pure connection. I'm specialist at making introverts and shy humans feel the most confident and relaxed in front of the camera. When it comes to photographing kids my secret weapon is to make them have fun instead of tried to control them. That's the best way to capture their essence without anyone feeling frustrated or defeated. If you're visiting Lisbon and want images that feel like a real document of your time here and not just a tourist photo album full of forced poses, then this is for you.

My fiance and I had traveled to Portugal from Colorado and wanted to take some unique and beautiful engagement photos while there. We found Patricia after some quick searches and immediately fell in love with her style and her approach to the photo session. We liked our it didn’t feel so sterile and rigid but was an “experience” and she had so many cute questions for my fiancé and I to answer to one another during our photo shoot. It felt like a date and a fun time instead of a chore. It was so easy to get in touch with her in terms of where to meet and payments. Being that we were starting the scheduling for the photos in the US I felt like everything went incredibly smooth. We found her very easy and she even made sure to keep up with the weather and keep us updated with a back up plan because of the rain storms. She was wonderful to work with and if we were to ever return to Portugal or go to the UK ( other location she works in) we would hire her again. She was just amazing and went above and beyond for everything. Even when we were having some trouble downloading the pictures she resent the links and made sure everything went smoothly. Also added bonus is her contributions to charities with some of the money you spend on the photo shoot. So worth it and the photos came out just perfect and exactly what we imagined!

I want to leave my feedback regarding the photoshoot. It truly exceeded my expectations! I loved the final result; it turned out exactly as I imagined (or even better), and I feel it will be a great help to my brand. It perfectly conveys who I am and what I do within integrative medicine. Patricia has a natural gift. I was very nervous, but she gives a lot of guidance and puts people at ease. Thank you for the experience ❤️

We had a great experience with Patricia! We were visiting Lisbon from Canada and the booking process was super easy. Patricia was very responsive and we were able to find a date, time and location that worked well with our vacation. On the day of the experience, Patricia did an excellent job of making us feel comfortable and tailored our experience based on our preferences. She came prepared with some great prompting questions which allowed us to connect and she was able to capture genuine moments. It was great to be able to spend some time chatting with her and Fernando as well. The pictures turned out amazing. We couldn't have asked for a better experience.

From the very first message, i knew i was in the best hands with Patricia. She was incredibly professional, kind, responsive, and detailed in helping me plan my surprise proposal in Lisbon — even before i meet her in person. She offered location ideas, explained logistics clearly, and made sure we felt confident and relaxed every step of the way. And then… the day came, and it rained. But Patricia turned it into magic. She and her wonderful assistant created a calm, supportive, beautiful atmosphere where we could just be ourselves — and somehow, they captured every emotional detail of our proposal with grace, warmth, and so much talent. The photos are stunning. Romantic, human, vivid, intimate — every image feels alive. It’s impossible to pick a favorite. We love every single one. Patricia isn’t just a photographer. She’s a storyteller, a gentle presence, and someone who deeply cares about the moments she’s capturing. If you’re considering working with her — do it. You will feel supported, inspired, and in the best hands. Patricia, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We’ll never forget this experience. Evgenia & Symeon

I've wanted to share an experience like this with Patrícia for a long time. However, life took a turn when we had planned to do it. What's certain is that now that it's happened, I can say it did happen and that it signified my rebirth as a woman and as a human being. I'm rising from ashes and harsh storms, and being with Patrícia proved that all situations happen for a reason. Patrícia is magic behind the camera and makes us feel magic. I've never felt so empowered and so human at the same time: so myself and so capable. It's being vulnerable and strong at the same time ✨️🥹 When I received the "raw" results of our session, I cried, and I look at them daily – I work with the photographs she took of me – and I'm truly very happy since I decided that she will be part of my professional – and personal – future. "Choose me," because I'll be there to applaud all your victories and achievements, and we'll move forward into the future together 🧡🦋
