Best of 2023: The year in 165 photos

Just like last year, this year I present you the best of 2023. Unfortunately, this time I was not able to keep it under 100 photos. So 165 it is. (Please note that my first selection of photos had more than 600 photos, so I take this as a win)

2023, what a season. It seemed longer than a year. I feel like so much happened, so much has changed. This was also the season when I got into burnout, and the season that I rediscovered my love for wedding photography. This was also the wedding season that I got engaged, and I started seeing weddings with a much deeper meaning than before.

I had a pocketful of couples this year, all so different from each other. I took some of my favourite photos ever this year. I also had the chance to photograph some christenings, which is also always fun and something lighter to mix up between weekends full of weddings.

I traveled more than 5000km, seen beautiful venues, laughed with amazing couples and guests, and had the privilege to work with some great vendors.

A huge thank you to all the photographer colleagues who’ve I had the great pleasure to work with in 2023. Isis Gonçalves, Rosado Shoot Stories, Pinha Pinhão, Patrícia de Carvalho, Rita Santana, Inês Nepomuceno and Sofia Brito.

And in special, words can not thank enough my friends from Soft Box, who not only helped me in a lot of weddings as second shooters, but also were able to replace me in a very complicated day with a very sensible personal situation, and understood what I needed from them, how I like to take photos and delivered me some photos that could have been easily taken by me.

Last but not the least, although I did not work with them this year, these colleagues helped me a lot in more ways than I can count. Marco Teixeira, Inês Lima, Adriana Morais and Catarina Vasconcelos.

Also, the best of 2023 could not finish with mentioning some vendors I really enjoyed working with. Such as Escape Eventos, By Brava, Lisbon Wedding Planners, Bloom Eventos, Your Jukebox, Musicbox Porto. The flowers who gave a special touch to the wedding days from the talented hands of colleagues like Mande Uma Flor, Oh Maria Flores, Catarina Sampaio Soares, Afeto Atelier, Wed4u, Kitschnet. The hands of fairies of all the makeup artists who gave my brides a special glow like Inês Plácido, Joana Nicole, Vanessa Chabert. And so many other vendors who were such a joy to work with!

I’ve probably forgotten to mention a lot of vendors in this text, but thank you to you all.

The most special thank you goes for all the couples who chose me to be a witness and photograph their wedding day. Thank you so much for believing in my work and my art. Thank you for trusting me and giving me space to create beautiful photos. I’m so grateful for 2023 wedding season and I can not wait to see what 2024 has to offer me.

So, without further ado, here’s my best of 2023:
