About

MEMBER SINCE 2023

I am a portuguese destination wedding photographer based in Madeira Island, that loves star war movies, playing chess, drinking good coffee and travelling at any chance I get.

I live on the incredible island of Madeira, in Portugal, but because I love a good challenge and traveling is definitely something I love, I don’t hesitate to photograph weddings in mainland Portugal or even outside Portugal, which is something I have been doing regularly.

Despite having studied psychology in college, my true passion has always been photography. Actually, those two facets of my life compliment each other so well: to photograph people, you really have to understand them.

Besides several Fearless and MyWed awards, including best wedding photo of the year in 2018 and 2023, I was also awarded the Wedding Golden Camera for European Photographer of the Year 2021 & 2023 by the Federation of European Professional Photographers.

My vision? I see photography as a time capsule that allows us to revisit emotions and memories and that is why my style is based on capturing moments in the most natural and sincere way, without rigid poses or abstract photos without context or logic. That's the only way you will get to relive those moments in a genuine way later on.

We were first introduced to Miguel by our wedding planners. The minute I saw his Instagram page, I fell in love with his work. I knew instantly that he had to be our wedding photographer for our special day. He is so talented and has an eye to capture the special moments and show the emotions in his photos. Having him photograph our wedding and doing a photoshoot with him around Madeira was one of the best decisions we’ve made for our wedding. Miguel was so easy to work with and made the suppose to be awkward photoshoot not awkward at all. Also, all of our guests have complimented our photo highlights and had nothing but good things to say about his art and talent.

From start to finish, Miguel was amazing to work with. Miguel went above and beyond to capture all the best moments from our wedding. He worked with us to coordinate the entire day of shoots, talked us through his ideas and incorporated our preferences as well. He was incredibly flexible with our last minute scheduling changes. Miguel worked with us on the wedding day for nearly 16 tireless hours which was way beyond our expectations, but we loved him even more for it!
