ABOUT THE PHOTOGRAPHS

A FEW DAYS
IN ENGLAND.

Mónica and Pedro, somewhere between Liverpool, the Lake District and Manchester. I photographed them on the streets, in the hills, and on the way from one place to another.

Some photographs came from a roll of Fuji C200. I kept the first frame, too.

I’m Bruno Costa, a photographer based in Porto, working with couples, intimate weddings and elopements in Portugal and abroad.
