Capturing Moments Since 2014

 

Vera Mendes, Destination Wedding Photographer and Filmmaker based in Portugal
Meet the Photographer

wellcome,

I'm vera Mendes

I'm Vera, a photographer based in Portugal, available worldwide.


Inspired by the stories my grandmother once told me - tales of love, beauty and timeless romance - I now have the privilege of telling real love stories through my lens.


Family and emotion are at the heart of my work. I believe in living dreams, not just imagining them, and documenting weddings as they truly are: honest, emotional and full of meaning.


Since 2014, I've been photographing weddings with an intuitive and refined approach, focusing on real moments, genuine connetions and subtle details.


Wherever your story unfolds, I'll be there to capture it with care, emotion and timeless style.

The result of the photos and videos was wonderful, with immense care, affection, good taste and attention to detail. We recommend Vera’s work without hesitation!

5 Stars


We hired Vera because we wanted our wedding photos to express naturalness.

And so it was! We couldn't be happier with the results of the photos.

If the photos were incredible with exceptional quality, when the wedding video was delivered to us, it far exceeded our expectations.

We just have to thank Vera and her team for their professionalism, attention to detail and friendliness throughout the process. We highly recommend it!
