The Algarve Photographer
Based in Albufeira, at the heart of the Algarve, I photograph weddings across Portugal and beyond, crafting visual narratives that go beyond trends. My work lives at the intersection of cinema, editorial style, and raw emotion—always guided by intuition rather than imitation.
Weddings are central to my craft, not just for the love stories they hold, but for the unscripted moments that unfold: a breath before the vows, a hand reaching out, the golden light catching a quiet smile. These fragments of truth are what I seek.
But my lens doesn’t stop there. Living in a place where the world comes to visit, I also shoot fashion campaigns, advertising, family portraits, couples, proposals, corporate projects, and personal branding. Each session is approached with the same artistic urgency—to create something honest, intentional, and real.
I don’t follow rules. I bend them, remix them, or ignore them entirely—because timeless photography isn’t born from repetition. It comes from vision.

What They Whisper After the Flash
They talk about light. About how it felt like film. About how the wind hit at the exact second the shutter clicked. They say it wasn’t just photography—it was cinema, memory, electricity. They say they forgot the camera was there. That it felt like a dream they didn’t have to pose for. You can read the rest—unedited, unfiltered—on Wezoree.

We had a hidden proposal at Arco de Albandeira with Sergio Morais and it was a wonderful experience. The planning was very professional, and Sergio made everything feel easy and well-organized. The photos are truly beautiful and capture the moment perfectly. We’re really happy with the results and can highly recommend him. Kevin Lang2 August 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sergio was extremely attentive and communicative leading up to my proposal. I live in Canada so there was a time change, but that didn’t impact anything. Upon our arrival the proposal location, he was well hidden and approached us with care. He was super detail oriented, guiding us for photos as needed, but also allowed us to be more creative! Would highly recommend Sergio!

Sérgio is an absolutely wonderful photographer who helped make our wedding day truly unforgettable. He captured every special moment with such emotion and beauty—each photo tells a story and brings back all the feelings of that magical day. His professionalism, warmth, and creative eye made us feel comfortable and relaxed throughout. We are beyond grateful for the incredible memories he gave us. Highly recommended, and a BIG thank you again! Volodymyr Zhuravel16 July 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sergio is the best. He did an amazing job with the photoshoot of my proposal to my girlfriend. From the beginning when I contacted him a couple months before the proposal and up until the very end of the photoshoot he was very professional and easy to work with through out the entire time. When it comes to photography, I usually find myself feeling shy and nervous as it is not something that I usually enjoy doing and many times feel irritated by when asked to, but Sergio created a perfect environment for me and my fiancée and it never felt like something that I didn’t enjoy doing. Also the quality of his photos are completely outstanding and it totally matched the vision of how I wanted it to be, and it even exceeded the expectations million times. The photos make my fiancée cry from happiness when she see them every time. Also he mentioned that by the end of the day he will send us a couple of photos to post and the rest later during the week, but he ended up sending everything all together at the end of the night and it made me and my girlfriend extremely happy as we were able to share it with our family members around the world and enjoy our moment of happiness all together. Sergio is definitely your guy if you’re looking for something extremely ordinary when it comes to photos and someone easy to work with. Thank you Sergio for an amazing job you did for us, it will stay with us forever now. Stephanie Setiawan6 June 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My husband and I travelled to Portugal for a baby moon and reached out to Sergio to do a maternity photo shoot. Sergio was incredibly responsive and helpful in guiding us through the process. We met up at a beautiful beach in the Algarve and we had an amazing time shooting with him. Sergio made us feel very comfortable during the shoot which was key in helping us capture beautiful moments. Sergio delivered our pictures very quickly and we are so happy with the pictures. Thank you Sergio for capturing such a memorable moment for us!!! Jonathan Salcedo6 June 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sergio was amazing to work with for our engagement shoot. He helped me plan the whole thing, gave me a bunch of great location ideas, and made sure everything felt really personal to us. Communication was super smooth from the start. On the day, he made us feel totally comfortable in front of the camera—nothing felt forced or awkward. The photos turned out so good, and he got them back to us really quickly too! Couldn't be happier with how it all went. Would 100% recommend Sergio to anyone looking for a great photographer in the Algarve, who knows what he’s doing and makes it all feel easy. Jason Theoharis6 June 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sergio was incredible to work with! I reached out to him months in advance to plan the big moment, and he was thoughtful and professional every step of the way. We had a couple of FaceTime calls to go over location options and put together the perfect plan. Not only did he capture the proposal beautifully with every bit of joy and emotion in the moment, but he also guided us through an amazing private photo shoot afterward. We spent hours exploring stunning cliffs, rock formations, and beaches, all made even more special by the quiet of the early morning. The drone footage and portraits he delivered are breathtaking—we honestly still can’t decide which ones to share first with family and friends! I’d highly recommend Sergio for proposals, weddings, or simply any portraits in a spectacular natural setting!

Nous avons réalisé un shooting au coucher de soleil sur la plage de São Rafael, et l’expérience a été tout simplement incroyable. Sergio est non seulement un photographe très talentueux, mais aussi quelqu’un de chaleureux et professionnel, qui sait parfaitement mettre à l’aise. Un souvenir inoubliable.
