Hi, I'm Ella

Wedding photographer based in europe, available worldwide

Born and raised in Portugal, fluent in three languages, a mother to a toddler boy and a passionate traveler who loves discovering new places and cultures. Oh, and I also happen to be a Destination Wedding & Elopement Photographer!


I’ve lived in Porto, Lisbon, and London, and if there’s one place in the world that truly has my heart, it’s Primrose Hill in London.


In January 2018, life took an unexpected turn when I was diagnosed with blood cancer. After undergoing chemotherapy, I was given the green light to move back to London in March 2020. But then, the world shut down. The pandemic changed everything, keeping me in Portugal and, at the time, away from what I believed was my life’s purpose.


Photography had always been a passion of mine, but I never thought it could become my career. With the unexpected free time during lockdown, I decided to finally give it a try. I started studying, practicing and quickly became a self-taught photographer.


By 2022 and 2023, I had stepped into the Wedding industry as a second shooter for major companies, gaining invaluable experience alongside professionals with 15+ years in the business.


Then, in January 2024, I took the leap - I opened my own studio in Porto and became a full-time Destination Wedding Photographer. And now, I finally understand what my life’s purpose was always meant to be. I couldn’t be happier.


My approach as a Wedding Photographer is easygoing, all about genuine connections and deeply invested in making sure your wedding day feels as amazing as it looks.
