My name is Patricia, but you can call me Pat.

I’m a Lisbon-born photographer drawn to honest connections and stories that unfold naturally, specialising in documentary weddings and love stories.

I’ve lived in Istanbul and London, travelled extensively through Europe and Southeast Asia, and returned to Portugal at the end of 2020. I’m now based on the west coast with my boyfriend Zé and our tuxedo cat named Tommy (Tomilho most of the times). Being near the ocean again, after so much time in big cities, reminded me how much I love the Portuguese way of life — slow-paced, full of heart — and how deeply I resonate with it.

Lisbon remains the city that grounds me, but I’m endlessly passionate about travelling. In 2025, I photographed weddings in Italy, Greece, and Czechia, and wherever your story unfolds, I’d love to be there.

If you’re looking for imagery that feels emotional, intentional, and deeply human, you’re in the right place.

I want you as my photographer

    "We cannot recommend Pat enough! Not only was she so warm and made us feel at ease from the get go, but she is an incredible professional. She basically took us by the hand from our first meeting and gave us the best guidance out of anyone we worked with. Her photos are magical and she was so generous with her time. She is insanely talented in making everything work around you and capturing the moments that matter."

  • Lauren + Griffin

    "Pat was not only wonderful to work with during the photoshoot, but she also made the process before and after so seamless! On top of that she is so talented with her approach to the shoot and the final products showed that- our gallery that we received was breathtaking. She’s a joy to be around and made us feel so comfortable every step of the way."

  • Tiffany + Billy

    "She went above and beyond to give us the best experience both times, and made us feel so comfortable both on and off camera. It felt like having another friend with me on my big day."

  • Anne + Chris

    "On the day itself, Patricia was fantastic. I’m usually quite stiff in photos, but she made me feel comfortable, capturing unique, authentic, and candid shots. She was wonderful with our guests, especially with my two young nephews who loved her photography!"

Love is love.

Love comes in many shapes, sizes, and beautifully unexpected forms — and I’m here for all of them. My work is rooted in creating a space where everyone feels comfortable, safe, and truly themselves, especially within the LGBTQIA+ community.

If you love big, feel deeply, and don’t mind a photographer who might tear up behind the camera, we’ll be a great match.
