Meet Luis Piteira

Lisbon Wedding Photographer


Hello there! I’m Luis, the father of a beautiful girl, a traveller, foodie, and dog owner. I love the ocean, road trips, and adventures in our campervan. I also love the simple things in life: great friends, good food, sunshine, and salt water. 

I have been a photographer for as long as I can remember, and when I’m not documenting love stories, you will either find me in the icy Atlantic or cooking elaborate meals that involve every single pot in the kitchen.

My

Style


I rely on natural light and instinct, capturing moments as they unfold rather than forcing them into a script. Weddings aren’t just about the couple—they’re about the kids running wild, grandparents holding back tears, and the nervous excitement before the ceremony. The impromptu speeches, the tipsy uncles, the wild dance floor—it’s all part of the story.

No two weddings feel the same, and that’s what makes them worth documenting. My goal is to preserve the energy of the day—the anticipation, the laughter, the chaos—so years from now, you don’t just see the photos, you feel everything all over again.

We feel so lucky to have had Luis by our side on our special day!

Beyond his ability to take phenomenal photos, his professionalism, personality, kindness, and humor were much appreciated throughout the process, and he was a pleasure to work with. He captured so many beautiful, organic moments and has an artistic eye that encapsulated the feel of the day.
Maria Fabrizio

“He was so fun and easy to work with, he made everyone at our wedding feel very comfortable.”

We worked with Luis for our engagement photos in Lisbon and our wedding in Albufeira. He is extremely talented, creative, and an expert in his field. He was super accommodating and had great recommendations regarding location, timing, etc. We wanted an intimate and unique wedding, and it was so much more than we could’ve imagined. We’re so grateful for the beautiful memories he captured and highly recommend working with Piteira Photography!
Kelley Dillon

He is a professional photographer of the highest quality, and we adore every single one of our photos.

He immediately put us and all of our guests at ease — he is kind, charming, funny & incredibly efficient. He captured all the important moments and more, getting beautiful shots of all 100 of our guests and making us actually *enjoy* taking portraits!
A lot of our guests commented on how present and thorough he was, blending into the background when needed and directing us when appropriate. I would recommend him for any wedding. Luis is phenomenal!!

ABOUT

YOU


You appreciate the beauty in the imperfect and unconventional. You laugh often, find meaning in the little things, and care more about moments than material things. Traditions don’t define you—you follow what feels right,
not just what’s expected.

Your wedding isn’t about a perfectly curated Pinterest board. It’s about celebrating with the person you’re crazy about, surrounded by the people who matter most. You want photos that reflect the real energy of the day—the messy, the heartfelt, the hilarious—not just stiff, posed portraits. You believe less is more, that fun beats formal, and that the best memories are the ones you never saw coming.

01.

NO STIFF POSING

I won’t ask you to stand awkwardly or fake a moment. Weddings are unpredictable, full of movement, laughter, and chaos—that’s where the magic is. I’ll be there, camera in hand, ready for whatever unfolds.

02.

CHASING THE BEST LIGHT

Morning mist, golden sunsets, soft candlelight—I’m always looking for the kind of light that makes a moment feel even more alive. No harsh flashes, no artificial staging, just the real atmosphere of your day.

03.

EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED

The best photos aren’t planned. A spontaneous twirl, your dad’s terrible dance moves, a kid passed out on a chair before dinner’s even started—I shoot it all because that’s what you’ll actually want to remember.

04.

LESS FILTERS, MORE FEELING

I won’t over-edit or try to make your wedding look like something it wasn’t. The goal is to keep things honest—photos that look and feel like your day, not a version of it that’s been airbrushed into something unrecognizable.
