Meet yourLisbon photographers

We’re Anatoly & Julia, a husband-and-wife team based in Lisbon. For seven years we’ve helped couples, families and travellers feel at ease in front of the camera, whether they came for a honeymoon, a proposal, a family trip or a week off.

Most of the people we photograph have never had a photoshoot before. That’s why we choose the places and the time for you and guide you through every pose and movement, so you always know what to do.

Photoshoots for honeymoons,
anniversaries and birthdays

Most people we photograph in Lisbon came for a reason. These are the ones we hear most often.

Proposal

We stay out of sight until the yes, then carry on as a couple session.

Babymoon

The last trip as two. Relaxed maternity photos by the ocean or in the old town.

Family holiday

Everyone in the frame, including whoever usually holds the phone.

A week off

No occasion needed. Travelling alone or as a couple, a week in Lisbon is reason enough.

Honeymoon

Your first trip as a married couple, photographed while it still feels new. Photos you will come back to on every anniversary.

Anniversary

One year or twenty. The two of you as you are now, in the city you chose to celebrate in.

Birthday

A birthday in Lisbon deserves more than a selfie at dinner. One hour on the viewpoints is enough.

Trip with friends

Each of you gets portraits of your own, plus the photos of all of you together that nobody else could take.

Photoshoot by the ocean
half an hour from Lisbon

Choose the wide sand and dunes of Costa da Caparica or the cliffs of the Sintra coast. Either one is an easy addition to your Lisbon trip. More about beach sessions

Where we shoot
in Lisbon
