About Me

Your wedding photographer

Rita Plácido

Storyteller. Hopeless romantic. In love with life.

My love for photography started early. I remember sitting on the floor of my childhood living room, completely lost in old photo albums for hours. At 14, after saving up my allowance, I finally bought my first camera: a moment that changed everything.

I carried that camera everywhere through my teenage years, discovering the magic of freezing time. Now, I have a collection of images from every phase of my life: tangible memories that let me relive the moments that shaped me. 

As I grew older, by going through more life-changing events, such as the loss of irreplaceable loved ones like my grandmothers, or the emotions of my own wedding day, I truly understood the power of photography. My role isn’t just to take photos, it’s to preserve stories. Because the Saturday nights in your friend’s basement, the way your grandmother rested her hands on her lap, or the way your spouse looked at you on your wedding day, these moments will fade. 

But my photos will remain. They will be your family's legacy, telling your story for generations to come.

Your wedding photographer

Your wedding deserves someone who will obsessing with you and your wedding photos as I was with Severance's season 2.

I am a professional. I am very sensitive. I am a keen observant. I can be silly. I'm an easy cryer. I am a cat person. I am a feminist. I love to eat, but I'm a bit of a picky eater. I get obsessed with TV shows and go through all the rabbit holes. I love to host dinner parties. I'm addicted to TikTok.

I believe photographing a wedding is a very intimate thing to do. I have an enormous passion for storytelling through images, and I thrive on documenting the unique moments that make weddings extraordinary. What sets me apart is my keen eye for detail. From the delicate details of your décor to the shy glances and shared smiles, I notice and capture it all.
