// behind the lens
My name’s Helena, I’m from Setúbal, Portugal, and I’m a photographer.
Photography is not a passion. It’s a love for life.
I am what I see. And I’m happy photographing because I like to show others what they don’t usually see. An image in more than a momentary click sound, it’s intense and passionate. Making it timeless is a privilege.
Why wedding photography?
Because I’m a romantic, passionate about love stories, complicit gazes and words spoken in silence. The wedding is one of the most important days in the life of a couple, a day in which all emotions are real and almost palpable.
I consider my style to be spontaneous and passionate. My goal is to tell the story of that memorable day, with glamour, romance and a bit of fun.
> Capturing dreams <
If there’s a “mission” in what I do, it is capturing dreams and emotions. My story is the story of the people who choose me to register their happiest days.
Some fun facts…
