Rita Plácido, Portugal Wedding Photographer

hi, i'm rita!

A wedding photographer based in Lisbon, Portugal — who not long ago was also a bride.

You know that friend who always had a camera in hand during high school? That was me! From birthday parties to those every weekend type of night in our friends’ basement, I was the one capturing it all. And I couldn’t be more grateful for the collection of memories in the form of photos I now have.

After graduating in Photography HND in Arts and Design, I knew I wanted to do the same for others: to be the quiet observer of your day, the storyteller of your happiest moments. No stiff poses, just your real and most genuine emotions. Letting you be you.

wedding & lifestyle photography

Your wedding is unique. Your love story is special.
And you deserve a photographer who sees that, who feels it, and who will turn it into your beautiful wedding photos that you'll LOVE.

I’m a Portugal Wedding Photographer who believes that the best moments are the ones that can’t be staged: the way you look at each other when you see each other for the first time on your wedding day, the way you laugh, the moments that happen on the backstage, and the secondary stories that add so much to your wedding gallery. My approach is candid and intentional. I won't ask you to perform. I'll only ask you to live and enjoy your wedding day.

Whether you’re planning a destination wedding on the cliffs of the Algarve, an elopement in the streets of Lisbon, or a celebration in your hometown surrounded by all your favourite people, I'm super happy to be there with you to document it all with all my heart. I know this is cliché, but believe me when I tell you that your wedding day will pass quicker than you think. And my mission is to make sure you get to relive it forever. My work perfectly blends emotion, elegance, and the story of your day, so when you look at your photos years from now, you’ll not only remember how it looked, but how it felt.

Let’s create something timeless, together.

WHAT THEY SAY

We couldn’t have picked a better photographer to capture our special day than Rita. Her warmth and infectious smile helped calm us throughout our entire day. In addition to her beautiful photography skills, Rita made us feel comfortable in our own skin when we’re usually quite shy around the camera. You are in great hands with her. We could not recommend Rita enough!

We chose Rita to photograph our elopement because of her nostalgic and warm style. Every important step of the elopement was previously discussed with her, and she is someone who will follow your path as a couple rather than undercutting your plans, so it is impossible not to feel at ease. Overall, working with her was a joyful and relaxing experience, since she is a friendly and kind person. Her photography session produced stunning results that exceeded our expectations. It’s incredibly interesting how she can incorporate the couple’s vision of the weeding into her photography style. We are still trying to find words to describe what her photos makes us feel. Above all, we are thankful to have picked her to capture our special day; she is worth every euro!

Rita photographed my brother’s wedding, and not only because we saw the final result, but also because of the way she works, it was easy to choose her to photograph ours. From the initial moments in the engagement session, she made us feel at ease and helped us understand that, despite it being a new experience for us, it didn’t have to be a daunting task, and we were in good hands. Communication was always clear and timely, a breath of fresh air in the stressful process of organizing a wedding. Despite all of this, when delivering the photos, Rita still managed to exceed our expectations. Not only in terms of the quality of the selection and editing but also in the quantity and variety of the photographs, as if she could be everywhere at the same time. To all of this, add attention to detail and a clear passion for what she does, which is evident in every aspect of Rita’s approach and work.

Rita was incredible at our wedding. Her style of photography is quite unique, and you can tell she’s an incredible storyteller. She was super friendly, accommodating and I can’t recommend her enough! Her package is full of surprises that I honestly treasure up to this day. The photos are also stunning, of course. We couldn’t be happier with her service!!
