Words From My Clients

Rui took photos of us during a wine tour we did with him on our honeymoon in Portugal, and we're so glad he did! The photos turned out absolutely beautiful and are such a special memory from our trip.

He made everything feel natural and effortless, and captured some really great moments throughout the day without anything feeling posed or forced. The photos perfectly captured both the stunning scenery and the excitement of our honeymoon, and we love having them to remember such an incredible day in the Douro Valley.

We are so grateful to have these memories and would absolutely recommend Rui to anyone looking for beautiful, natural photos!!

Victoria Montgomery

Thank you Rui for being there for such a special moment for us. My boyfriend proposed to me and Rui helped him plan everything and was there to capture the moment. Rui is a fabulous photographer. He is very talented and we feel very lucky to have his photos as our memories. I’m very nervous in photos, not a photogenic person and generally not a fan of pictures, but Rui made us feel so comfortable and managed to get some absolutely brilliant shots we will treasure forever.
We booked Rui as a tour guide around the Douro valley through his other business and are so grateful we were also able to utilise his skill as a photographer too for long lasting memories of a special moment.
Thanks again Rui, you’re amazing
