P O R T U G A L E D I T I O N
From the royal halls of Palacio Nacional de Queluz to the cliffside drama of Forte da Cruz in Estoril, Portugal offers some of Europe's most extraordinary wedding settings. We photograph regularly at Penha Longa in Sintra, Palacio de Estoi in the Algarve, Quinta Bella Vista on the Lisbon coast, and Palacio do Freixo in Porto. Each location has its own rhythm of light, architecture, and atmosphere, and we know how to read all of them.

ABOUT US
WE ARE
VADIM & IRINA
We, together with our team, are here to help you
create unforgettable memories of your time in Portugal.
Whether it's an intimate ceremony at Forte da Cruz with the Atlantic at your back, a grand celebration at the royal Queluz Palace, an elopement among the misty
gardens of Sintra, or simply a romantic escape worth
remembering, we know this country inside out. Every
palace, every clifftop, every vineyard, every angle
of light at every time of year.
We'll help you choose the right place and season,
introduce you to the planners, florists, and stylists
we trust, and even help with the permits most couples
don't know about.
Your story deserves more than a photographer.
It deserves someone who already knows the place
where it's happening.
WEDDINGS
Full-day coverage from morning preparations through
the late-night celebration. We work with planners and
venues across Portugal to capture every detail without
intruding on the day.
ELOPEMENTS
Intimate ceremonies for two, photographed with the
same care as a two hundred guest wedding. Sintra,
Cascais, the Algarve cliffs, Madeira, wherever you
choose to say yes.
PROPOSALS
Surprise proposals planned and photographed across
Lisbon's miradouros, the Sintra forests, and the
Atlantic coast. Discreet coverage from the first
moment to the celebration after.
ENGAGEMENTS AND ROMANTIC GETAWAYS
A relaxed shoot in a place that means something
to you. A way to remember a trip, an anniversary,
or simply each other.

wedding couple
We couldn’t be happier with Vadim and Irina as our wedding photographers. From our first meeting with Vadim, we knew we’d found the perfect fit. He was kind, personable, and truly passionate about his work, which shows in every photo.
On the day of the wedding, they worked seamlessly with our other vendors, family, and friends, treating everyone with kindness and respect. Their ability to capture every detail and emotion was incredible, and the photos are a cherished reminder of our special day… And all of your photos belong in Vogue, hahaha!

Vadim & Iryna were absolutely amazing! Delivered the photos within a timely manner, edited them amazingly and were so open to feedback. Their communication and work ethic on the day was great! Vadim really understood our vision for our wedding and captured all the moments we had wanted captured. Really went above and beyond! Could not recommend Vadim enough!
