Forget the trends. Think about how you want to feel
— that’s how I approach photography.

If you’re the kind of people that value art and creativity, don’t take yourselves too seriously, love unapologetically and
you love to travel - hi! You’re in the right place.

The chaos, the blur, the little fleeting moments, the way someone smelled great, the way you looked at each other when you thought no one was looking. That’s what I care about.

I am a documentary photographer with a touch of meaningful editorial.
This means I take a "fly-on-the-wall" approach,
letting moments unfold undisturbed in front of me,
while at other times, I'll guide you to the best light and space, even if you have no clue what to do with your hands (I got you!).

Expect me to hand you a tissue (or a shot). I'll be there for you whenever you need, and just know that it's not uncommon for family members to ask, "How long have you known each other?"

PATRÍCIA

YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER

I’m so happy you’re here.

My name is Patricia, but you can call me Pat. I’m a documentary wedding photographer based in Lisbon, Portugal, capturing authentic love.

After graduating in Cinema, and while still living in London (forever an East London girl at heart here!), I’ve decided to take the leap and turn my love for pictures into my job and with it capture people from all over the world.

I’m not a traditional photographer. I believe photography should be intentional, organic and above all honest, so I promise I’ll not put you in stiff poses and awkward silences that don’t help to reflect who you truly are.

Ready to embrance the chaos?

WHAT I’M ALL ABOUT

A couple dressed in wedding attire stands under an archway labeled 'Horta,' holding hands and laughing. A woman in a white wedding dress is reaching up, and a man in a gray suit and bow tie is looking up and smiling. A black cat is walking on the roof above, near a street lamp. The scene takes place in a colorful, outdoor setting with trees and decorative buildings.

LOVE NOTES :

“What can we say? Pat is the absolute best! My partner and I were nervous about taking professional photos as we had never really done it before, but Pat made the entire experience feel easy, and fun! We literally couldn’t believe it was over we were having so much fun….The pictures all turned out fantastic, with great editing. We would recommend Pat to anyone looking for the best couples pictures in Portugal and beyond.”

— Ariane + David

“We cannot recommend Pat enough! Her photos are absolute works of art that speak for themselves. Not only is she extremely talented and professional, she is also the kindest, most positive person. She brought an amazing energy to our day which kept us laughing and relaxed. You can tell that Pat really loves her job and wants the absolute best for you - to her your wedding day isn’t just another day at work, she really gives her heart and soul to what she does. My partner and I both find it awkward having our photos taken but Pat made it so easy both during our engagement shoot and on the wedding day itself. The photos are full of emotion and life, perfectly reflecting the candid brief. Pat was also very happy and excited to shoot some posed photos which we wanted to try, and she absolutely nailed our vision.”

— Natalia + Ross

“We chose to elope to Portugal, just the two of us and our dog, and we found Patricia online when searching for a queer-friendly photographer.
We messaged her right away and she was super quick to get back to us. She found the perfect location that combined all of our wants, and the pictures we've seen so far were better than we had dared to hope for.
Both of us are a bit awkward in front of the camera, and the thought of reading our vows infront of anyone seemed scary, but she made us SO comfortable and it shows in our pictures. Patricia feels like having a friend tag along for a day, not like she's just there to do a job.
We were travelling with our little, terrified dog, Remy, and wanted some pictures with him. Patricia is a disney princess. He loved her, and the pictures she got of him in his little bow-tie were amazing.
She's so good at what she does, both in terms of her photography but also making you feel comfortable.
100% recommend her for your photos!”

— Siren + Sophie

“While searching for a Lisbon photographer on Instagram to do a couple's photoshoot, Pat's natural and beautiful artistic style immediately stood out. We loved the way she captures lighting and the unique colors of the city, as well as how comfortable she makes all her clients look. We were thrilled to learn she was available, and were consistently impressed by her communication, professionalism, and warmth. We could not be happier with the results! She did a marvelous job capturing special moments we will treasure, and the experience was definitely a highlight of the trip!”
