Romantic Photo Experiences in Lisbon
A Story of Love & Presence
Intentional and romantic photo experiences in Lisbon curated for discerning couples looking to enjoy the city in a relaxing, authentic way.
Your love, an artwork that is uniquely yours
candid /ˈkandɪd/: truthful and honest
Your personalities and your bond are uniquely yours. My goal is to design an experience that truly speaks to your souls, candid, if you wish. Moments to reconnect, to deepen the love that you share. If you are here you are not looking for a simple photo session but rather for a truly intentional and deep experience that will that provide the serenity and connection that your day-to-day lives rarely allow. A space for just the two of you, together.
Designed for lovers who:
▸ seek an intentional, intimate and relaxed experience
▸ want to disconnect from the world to (re)connect with each other
▸ want to live an experience worth remember and not just pretty “all-the-same” forced pictures
▸ are ready to see their connection, captured as the timeless artwork it truly is
“We warned Patricia before we even got to the shoot that she was getting two very camera-shy people who would prefer to hide behind a camera rather than be in front of it. She told us not to worry and to trust her, and we did. On the day, she made us feel so comfortable - we felt like we were on a date in the park, and having a chat with friends, not for a second like we were being shot on camera. (…) We couldn't have chosen a better photographer to capture our story than Patricia.”
— Shivangi & Achin
The Experience
01. Getting To Know You
Getting to know you is my top priority! Our journey begins with a private video consultation (or, alternatively, with a short fun questionnaire). This will allow me to understand a bit more of your personalities and what you cherish the most so I can provide you the tailor made experience you deserve.
02. Curated Exercises
Disconnecting from the outside to (re)connect within. I’ve curated easy and fun exercises designed to deepen the romance, connection and communication between you two so that you end this experience feeling more loved than ever, light weighted and able to conquer the world together.
03. This Is Your Time
The stress of the daily routine can be exhausting and leave little to no space for romance or spontaneity. This experience will provide you the opportunity to just exist. To be together, to look into each other’s eyes and reconnect on a deeper, meaningful level. Take it.
The Non-Negotiables
A safe experience for every single soul
Mutual Respect
Transparent communication
To honor each individual story
Presence over perfection
LGBTQIA+ friendly
Real connection
Diversity and equality
Having fun is mandatory

“Patricia has done multiple shoots for us, and she never disappoints. She is a creative and thoughtful photographer who really takes joy in capturing the essence of her subjects’ personalities.
She is prompt, reasonable, and always easy to work with, which, combined with her artistic eye, makes for a dream photographer. Cannot recommend Patricia highly enough.”
— Anita & Taber
“We recently did an experience with Patrícia (and Fernando) in Sintra as a couple with our two dogs. Despite the wind, cold and humidity in Sintra, the experience was absolutely lovely. Patrícia made us feel very comfortable and kept checking if we were happy with how the experience was going and if we wanted to change anything. They were lovely with the dogs, too. The photos are stunning, and we couldn't be happier.”
— Andreia & Tiago
Hello, Lovers!
I’m Patricia (she/her), your Lisbon and London couples photographer and experience designer.
I’ve been specializing in couples photography since 2017, but my work has never been just about taking pictures. As an empathetic and deeply romantic person, I get much of my inspiration from my own relationship. My partner and I have been together for 13 years, so we certainly understand the importance of quality time and how challenging it can be to find in this busy world.
This understanding is why I wanted to offer more than just pretty pictures, something that lingers, something meaningful that goes beyond beautiful images. That’s when I began designing experiences that help couples slow down, reconnect, and truly feel their love.
For me, stunning photographs are a natural outcome of an unforgettable experience. That’s why I weave elements like custom playlists and deep conversations into every moment we create together.
Since you’re here, chances are you crave an exquisite, intimate, intentional, and deeply personal experience and I cannot wait to begin planning every little detail with you, for you.
Step into a rom-com of your own
If you believe, as I do, that the most beautiful moments are felt, then I would be honored to help you create them. Please submit the form bellow.

-
Forecast is not as predictable as it used to be. If it unexpectedly rains on the day of your experience we can either postpone it or dance in the rain — depending on how adventurous you are :)

-
Yes. Sometimes life happens so you can always count with my flexibility and understanding if you have to reschedule your experience.
Photography
-
My photo sessions are not regular photo sessions.
They are intentionally designed to slow down, (re)connect and relax.
None of those things would be able to be accomplished in a 30 minutes session nor even a one hour session.
The first half an hour alone will be dedicated to make you feel comfortable, to get to know you, embrace your fears, hear you.
For that reason, my experiences start at 2 hours long.
-
Yes! I can totally be your shadow for the entire day and capture every moment of this exquisite experience for you.
I can also be your experience designer if you fancy something way more luxurious and tailored to you. See more about this service here.
-
You won’t get any RAW images.
And I won’t edit your images in a different style than mine.
When choosing me as your memories keeper you’re choosing my art, my vision and my own style that took years and a lot of work to develop.
It’s ok if you don’t identify or like my photography style, we all have different tastes. But if that’s the case, please choose another photographer.
There are many talented professionals in the market and I’m sure you’ll find one that will have a photography style that matches your vision and personal taste.
