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 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!

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...

our best wedding photos in 2018

And so, in this 1st of May, we look at our closest yesterday, very happy for all the days before and, above all, eager to look to tomorrow. This is the best of us in 2018. It is the celebration of the extraordinary year we have lived but it is, more than anything, a motivational boost for 2019 that has just begun!

Almost Four

These photographs are the present that we want forever. It is our family seen by itself, three crossed views, over each other. Three! Our mini-Boy already has his time machine that he maneuvers devotedly and with passion. It is his world, seen from the top of his three anniversaries, printed with light and innocence. ...
