Hey Lovers!


I’m Bruno — elopement photographer and filmmaker based in Porto, Portugal. I work with couples who want something clean, cinematic, and full of meaning.


After years shooting weddings across Europe & USA— long days, real people, intense moments — I’ve learned how to blend chaos and rhythm into something timeless.


My style? Half documentary, half intentional. Like your best friend had a camera, but also knew how to light like a filmmaker.


If you’re planning a cinematic elopement in Portugal, or somewhere even wilder,  I’m here to follow along with you, with soul and no pressure.


No fluff. No fuss. Just the stuff that really matters.

WHY ELOPE in Portugal?


Because eloping isn’t about running away — it’s about choosing presence, connection, and freedom.


When you elope, you strip everything down to what really matters: just the two of you, your story, and a quiet space to feel it fully.


And Portugal? It’s not just beautiful -  it’s soulful, warm, cinematic.  

Mountains, cliffs, beaches, vineyards, rivers - all within a few hours.  

A place where strangers become friends, food feels like memory, and every setting could be a film.


Based in Porto, we travel across Portugal, from the wild Algarve to the volcanic Azores, hidden forests to Lisbon’s streets,  to shoot cinematic elopements through emotional photo and video, always real, never forced.


We’ve seen couples cry, laugh, dance, hike, and kiss under the stars - all in one day.  


Elopement means writing your own rules. And we’re here to help you make them something to remember.

Portugal Elopements Are Cool


Ok, so we ditched the castle weddings, the 200 chairs, the schedule that runs late.


Eloping in Portugal means freedom — to slow down, feel everything, and do it your way.  

You get the ocean, The river, The silence. The Light. The realness.


We’ll help you shape a day that’s cinematic but honest.  

You bring the vibe, we’ll bring the fun.


Here’s how we make it honest:


– Photography that doesn’t feel staged  

– Elopement films with soul (and killer soundtracks)  

– Hybrid photo + video coverage, always optional  

– Location scouting and timeline support that doesn’t come from a template  


Based in Porto. Working wherever your heart takes us.

"Bruno is an amazing photographer. He’s friendly and professional. When I searched for wedding photos at The Yeatman Hotel, his work stood out - it was unique and full of story. We loved it. He has a great talent for capturing true emotions. It was wonderful to create memories in Porto during our honeymoon. Just one week later, we received the photos, and they touched our hearts. Highly recommend him!”
