Every love story is unique, and as a photographer, I have had the privilege of witnessing countless beautiful moments between couples. However, there are some shoots that resonate with you on a deeper level, and this engagement photoshoot at Guincho beach, Portugal of Catarina and André was one such unforgettable experience. What made it even more special was the fact that Catarina, the bride-to-be, is my sister's best friend, making this Engagement Photoshoot at Guincho Beach an honour and a joy to capture. It's not everyday that you get to photograph a couple that you had the priviledge to see growing up and turning into the amazing goal type of relationship they now are.
Catarina and André are an extraordinary couple. They are strikingly different in many ways, yet their story is a testament to the power of two individuals coming together and complementing each other perfectly. Despite their differences, Catarina and André share a profound connection that is evident from the moment you meet them.
Enquanto fotógrafa, o meu objetivo é capturar esta conexão entre eles com a praia do Guncho enquanto fundo. A praia por si só já é o local perfeito para qualquer sessão de noivado no Guincho, com as dramáticas dunas, a areia dourada e o som das ondas a bater nas rochas como banda sonora da sessão. A forma como olhavam um para o outro, como davam as mãos, e os momentos de risos e carinho, foram um privilégio e uma alegria de poder assistir em primeira mão.
Capturing the love between Catarina and André on Guincho Beach was not just a job; it was a privilege. I'm grateful to have been a part of this special moment in their lives and to have witnessed the power of love that knows how to bridge the gaps between two very different souls.
