“We are beyond grateful to have found him and will cherish these photos for the rest of our lives.
Luis, thank you for giving us the gift of these memories that we can hold onto forever!”

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.
We had very unstable weather on our wedding day, and Luis helped us bring levity to the rainy moments, and his photography shone through, even if the sun didnt 🙂
Cannot recommend Luis enough!

Luis photographed our wedding at Quinta da Bichinha in October 2024.
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!!

“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!

We first came across Luis while trying to find someone in Lisbon to take elopement photos. We knew we wanted to hire him when we had tears in our eyes looking at complete strangers’ wedding portfolio.
Luis was amazing to work with from the start! We came over from Canada to have photos taken in Lisbon, and he made the organizing and process so easy. We loved that he knew all the hidden gems to take us to in the city.
He was so easy to talk to and made us feel really comfortable in front of the camera. We’ve got so many compliments on our stunning photos, and I think what’s most important to me is the playful story he was able to capture of our time in Lisbon.
Obrigada Luis, we’ll be back for pints again one day!

“We can’t thank Luis enough for capturing our special day in the most creative and personable way. From start to finish, working with him was an absolute joy!”
Right from the get-go, his professionalism shone through. He took the time to really get to know us before the big day, and it all began with a test shoot on a beautiful beach in my home town in Portugal. What a fantastic idea – this alone gave us amazing family photos and got us warmed up for the big day! This also allowed us to get comfortable in front of the camera and gave us a glimpse of his talent and creativity 🙂
When our wedding day finally arrived, it felt like we had a dear friend there with us, rather than just a photographer. His warm and personable approach made everyone feel at ease, and that, in turn, translated into some of the most incredible shots that we will have forever!!!
What stood out most about his work was the way they captured not just the formal moments but the candid, genuine ones too. We have this beautiful collection of photos that show our guests in their element, having fun, and looking so relaxed. These are the memories we’ll cherish forever. It was also amazing to see all the little wedding details that we missed amidst the whirlwind of the day!!
Looking through the photos is an emotional journey and we just want to do it all over again! (I still look at the pictures almost ever day!)
Thank you Luis from the bottom of our hearts for giving us a lifetime of cherished memories with our family and close friends!

Choosing Luis as our wedding photographer was hands-down the BEST decision we made! From the initial consultation to the final delivery of our photos, the experience was absolutely perfect. Luis has an uncanny ability to blend seamlessly into the day; he wasn’t just a photographer, he felt like a friend celebrating alongside us. He captured every single moment we cherished, from the big, emotional ones to the small, candid laughter and stolen glances. We didn’t even realize he was there for some of them – it’s like he has a sixth sense for capturing magic!
His creative eye is unmatched. Every photo is a work of art. He has a way of seeing the world, and our special day, through a lens that transforms ordinary moments into breathtaking memories. Luis is more than a photographer; he’s a true visionary. He composed shots I never would have imagined, and the results are simply stunning. We’ve received countless compliments on our photos, with everyone asking who this amazing artist was.
We can’t say enough good things about Luis. He not only captured our wedding beautifully but exceeded all our expectations. If you want the best of the best, hire Luis. You’ll cherish these photos forever, just as we are!

“Luis is unique, warm-hearted, super talented and has the gift to capture the mood perfectly… so the memories of a great party stay awake and alive.
Awesome job, I would book Luis again anytime!”

Whatever forces brought us to Piteira Photography blessed us with some of the most precious memories of our lives.
Exactly ten years ago they artistically photographed our wedding (and engagement prior to that). Our eyes never tire revisiting the images while our faces smile, hearts swell and all of the emotion of the day returns. During the wedding they blended into the day, respectfully shooting while remaining a supportive force, consistently making us feel comfortable.
In our most imaginative dreams we could not have even conjured up the beauty they deliver. They give it their all, while taking extreme love and care, not only during photographing but also in the editing process. Even the wedding album they created was most creative and now treasured.
Since then we have made a conscious decision that every trip to Portugal will include a shoot with them. We have met in various breathtaking locations to have them photograph our expanding family, in turn documenting our children growing up as we grow older. The resulting and unique-every-time images have their signature style: the background becoming an homage to light and nature, while we as a family become an ethereal narrative. All breathtaking in their vitality and emotion.

Louise and I are so pleased that we found Luis to capture our wedding in Ericeira, we couldn’t have wished for a better photographer! As already mentioned by another reviewer, Luis is one the most kind-hearted, funny and genuine people you’ll meet, which makes a huge difference to how much you relax around him for your photos!
We chose the Classic Collection Package, which includes a separate engagement photo shoot – this gave us (and our three year old daughter) the perfect opportunity to get used to the way Luis worked. It was such a fun afternoon and really put us all at ease.
On the day, Luis was the perfect blend of consummate professional while also seeming like one of the family – he’s such a nice and funny guy that he made not only my wife, daughter and I feel completely relaxed, but also the whole wedding party.
Luis sent our pictures back sooner than expected and are certain we made the right choice choosing to work with him as we are so so please with the outcome, they’re all amazing. We would highly recommend booking him!
