I like to say that I’m a person who appreciates the small things in life. I like to absorve how a stranger walks, the light in your eyes when you see someone you love or get to know different nationalities and personalities when I travel. So I absorve, listen and then photograph.

Hello Friend,

I’m Mariana

Hi, it's great to meet you!

I’m a Portuguese photographer based in the Algarve, and storytelling is at the heart of what I do.

Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve been surrounded by family members who share the same love for photography that I do. So, I often say that I didn’t choose photography—it chose me.

When I pick up my camera, I can see the world clearly. I truly love what I do, and there’s nothing more fulfilling than creating beautiful, meaningful images with you and for you.

On your special day, my focus is all about capturing those little, yet significant moments—a gentle touch, a shared laugh, or even the small details that make everything so unique. I believe in staying in the background, allowing you to enjoy the day without interruption. When you receive your gallery, I want you to relive it as an authentic, heartfelt story of love—raw, real, and
