Wedding Photography in Portugal, Europe; Shaped by the Light of the Atlantic

Hi, I’m Christie! And I travel the world capturing whimsical love; I help international couples navigate their European destination wedding with confidence and calm, by creating images that reflect the essence of the day they spent so long planning and dreaming about. I help my couples breathe and my promise to them is that they are going to feel and look amazing. Simple as that!

With over 10 years of photography experience and numerous weddings documented across Portugal and Europe and the world,  I have documented love across Portuguese vineyards, Greek islands, romantic German castles, Brazilian farms, Polish countryside, elegant Singapore, and more. You say jump, I say how high. That said, no matter where your celebration needs me, I will be there.

THE STYLE: ROMANTIC EDITORIAL WITH A CINEMATIC SOUL.

THE LIGHT: SOFT, GLOWY, ATMOSPHERIC, PLAYFUL. 

Over the years, my work has been featured by international wedding publications and recognized in photography competitions, something I’m grateful for as it reflects the trust couples and clients from different parts of the world place in me.

From intimate elopements to large destination weddings with complex timelines.

A Local Expert Portugal Wedding Photographer

As a Portugal wedding photographer based in Porto, I often act as a bridge between my international couples and the local culture that makes a destination wedding in Portugal so special. Fluent in Portuguese, English, Italian, and Greek, I help couples navigate the experience with ease while working seamlessly with local planners, venues, and teams. My approach combines this local knowledge with a cinematic, editorial style, creating imagery that reflects the atmosphere of European celebrations with a refined sense of elegance.

Our friends and family were over the moon about her professionalism, the fact that she is super chill and could make everyone feel at ease. Even during our private photoshoot she made us feel comfortable. She gave clear instructions and the result is fantastic.”

Wedding Photography with a European Luxury Feel and a Cinematic Touch

No matter the lighting or weather conditions, I got your back. Backlight wrapping around hair and veils, shadows that add drama, warm highlights that feel like sunset in a movie. I’m all about creating magic and shaping the light. I love natural, soft golden light but when that’s not available, I know how to confidently shape my own lights to create that dreamy effect that will make you look and feel absolutely beautiful. 

I am beyond excited to capture your love story!
