Best of 2023 – wedding photography in Portugal and around

Here it is: our year made of rings, veils, and flowers, of altars, churches, forests, and cities, of children, animals, and plunges, of dancing and speeches, of tears, laughter, and hugs… in short, everything that comes with a day on the job.

wedding in Alentejo just married

Wedding in Alentejo, by the Caia River Reservoir

Alentejo is always that place of comfort, where time slows down at its own pace and where the vastness touches the spirit and prolongs us. It seems as if the soul itself extends over the landscape. It was in this boundless Alentejo that Tito and Lili’s wedding took place..

Best of 2023 – wedding photography in Portugal and around

It has become a tradition that the launch of the best of Menino conhece Menina is our birthday celebration – it was already in 2022, in 2021 and in 2019. It's a way to make public this celebration - our website ornate in party mood and our networks rocketing a little more than usual. This way we share our joy and the best we do in wedding photography in Portugal and abroad. Here is our 2023, in 3.25 minutes.

best of 2020-2021 wedding photographers menino conhece menina

Best of 2020-2021 as wedding photographers

From this elongated and singular time that was the pandemic period, these are the images of our work as wedding photographers that touch us the most. They are the ones that made us shiver at the moment of shooting, the ones we wept for at the moment of editing (yes, it happens too!); they are the spectacular ones that jumped into the camara by themselves, and they are the subtle ones that we had to find on little cat feet. Some are obviously recognizable, others were silent hidden treasures among an immense myriad.

Menino conhece Mundo

From Menino conhece Menina (Boy meets Girl) arises Menino conhece Mundo (Boy meets World), walking the paths of documentary family photography. (...) Soup bowls, ball games, scratched knees and ice cream mouths here will be. Birthday candles, ocean dives and holly water on the head. Documentary family photography – of those families we cross paths with and of our own! – sheltering life, collecting it and transporting it to the future. The everyday life and the special days of life!

iceland engagement session couple with pijamas and bags

Iceland engagement session

2020 opened with an engagement session in Iceland, in the first days of January. It was a dream coming to life: landscape, waterfalls, glaciers and auroras; travel, challenge and adventure! A couple was crossing the world, from China, and was taking us with them to live this adventure. They would be subject, in between the white, in our photographs. Adventure was what we had, but in a very different way from what we expected!

9 years of wedding photography in a new online home

www.meninoconhecemenina.com matures a little more. It shows in the best possible way us and our work, today. It is simple and minimal, quiet and discreet - just like us! We try to leave all the protagonism to the photographs - just as, in the wedding day, we try to leave the protagonism to people and their moments.

Wedding photography – the best of Menino Conhece Menina in 2019

This is the time when, in our life, the rhythm changes: it is the time when we have finally concluded the work of the previous year and we prepare to launch ourselves to the weddings about to start. It is the time when we can self-evaluate and when there is space to determine the targets and set the goals. (...) it is time for balance, time to look inside and to look back so that we can better reach the future. We revisited our work on wedding photography in 2019 and we bring you a selection of some of our favorite photographs.

photography in times of COVID19

Our neighbor has a rooster! This wouldn’t be strange if we didn’t live in Porto city center. Perhaps the rooster has lived in the garden next to ours for many months but only now we have discovered it, now that COVID-19 interrupted the world and our work in photography, and locked us down. Every time the rooster crows, we laugh like fools, for the unusual of having a rooster neighbor, and our little ones cackle and run around the house flapping imaginary wings. On the living room couch, there are landing strips for our rooster-kids' flights...

cabo espichel wedding

We all have favorite places and Cabo Espichel is clearly one of mine (this is Raquel at keyboard commands) since the time of Architecture studies and the enthusiastic passion for the Survey on Popular Architecture in Portugal. So, when the opportunity to photograph this wedding in Cabo Espichel came up, my heart was thrilled that one more dream was about to be fulfilled!
