Hey, I´m Bruno Costa

I photograph people, places and whatever happens in between. Destination wedding photographer based in Porto, Portugal.

I travel a lot. I get too close. I stay too late.

Weddings are just one of the places where life happens.



I´m not looking for perfection. I’m looking for something real enough to make you feel.

Portugal Wedding Photographer




After fifteen years photographing weddings, I care less and less about what they’re supposed to look like.



I care about the people.




Cinema and music have probably influenced my photography more than photography itself.


Wedding and elopement photographer based in Porto, Portugal. Available worldwide. Working seasonally in California.
