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.

From the very start, he made us feel super comfortable and understood exactly what we wanted. The way he captured every moment was so natural, and the photos and video turned out amazing. We loved how he managed to get all the little details without us even noticing, making everything feel so real and personal. If you’re looking for a photographer and videographer who truly gets your vibe, Sérgio is definitely the one! Would recommend him and his team to any couple in a heartbeat

What should I look for in an Algarve wedding photographer?

Above all, you should connect with the photographer’s style, as these images will capture a once-in-a-lifetime moment. Choose a style that truly resonates with you. In my work, I focus on a natural, cinematic approach reminiscent of analog photography. I believe your wedding photos should be timeless works of art, not dictated by fleeting trends or filters. Many photographers rely on presets that may look trendy now but can quickly feel outdated. Instead, I aim for a classic, enduring aesthetic that will stand the test of time.

How much does it cost to hire an Algarve wedding photographer?

There’s no simple answer to this question, as prices vary widely. In the market, you’ll find everything from beginners looking to build a portfolio—who often have enthusiasm but may lack high-end equipment, professional lenses, and experience—to internationally recognized photographers with top-tier gear, medium format cameras, and premium lenses, constantly investing in their artistic education and frequently published in magazines like Vogue.

At the lower end, entry-level photographers, often found on platforms like Casamentos.pt, typically charge between €600 and €800. On the other end of the spectrum, highly experienced professionals, often listed on platforms like Wezoree, may charge anywhere from €2,500 to €10,000. And, of course, there are many options in between.

Ultimately, it depends on how much value you place on high-quality wedding photography. If you’d like to know more about my pricing, feel free to contact me

Are there any specific packages for weddings in Algarve?

Yes! For very short weddings, we offer hourly rates. We also have engagement packages, elopement packages, and wedding coverage options ranging from 6 hours, 8 hours, or full-day coverage, with the possibility of a second photographer. Additionally, we offer multi-day packages, as well as options with or without a 'trash the dress' session, albums, prints, enlargements, and more.

We also provide videography and live streaming services to ensure every moment is captured and shared in real time.

All our packages are fully customizable to suit your needs. Feel free to get in touch, and I’ll be happy to share all the details with you!

How far in advance should I book an Algarve wedding photographer?

You should book an Algarve wedding photographer as soon as possible after you've secured your venue and date. This could be 12 to 18 months in advance, or even more. If your wedding is coming up soon, feel free to reach out and check our availability.

What is the typical turnaround time for wedding photos?

You can expect to receive your complete collection of wedding photos within 8 to 10 weeks after the wedding. However, within 48 hours, I’ll send you a gallery of highlight sneak peeks to ease the anticipation while you wait.

Do Algarve wedding photographers offer engagement sessions?

Yes, every couple who books our wedding package is offered a complimentary engagement or trash the dress photoshoot. Occasionally, couples who already have a wedding photographer or have already married reach out just for this type of session, and the answer is yes! We are happy to offer this service.

What happens if it rains on my wedding day?

The Algarve is known for its 300 sunny days a year, although rain is a rare occurrence... but yes, it can happen! Rain on your wedding day is actually considered good luck for a long-lasting marriage! According to Hindu tradition, a knot that becomes wet is very difficult to untie, so when you 'tie the knot' on a rainy day, it’s said that your marriage is just as hard to break.

Regardless, our team is always prepared for such situations. We use weatherproof equipment, protective covers, and have backup umbrellas on hand. If you're up for it, we can focus on beautiful indoor shots, or even create a unique "I'm singing in the rain" style portfolio with brave couples willing to embrace the moment!

Do you also offer wedding videography services?

Personally, I don’t offer wedding videography services, but after many years in the industry, I’ve built strong connections with talented professionals. I’ve found a videographer whose work and approach I truly connect with, and we've developed a seamless working dynamic that's hard to achieve with someone I don't know well. For this reason, I now offer his services as part of my wedding packages. However, if you already have a videographer or prefer not to include one, I’m more than happy to adapt to your preferences.

Can I see a portfolio of previous weddings shot in Algarve?

A little further down, you can view some of my galleries to get an idea of my work. However, if you get in touch with me, I’d be happy to share full galleries from previous weddings to give you a better feel for my style and approach.
