Looking for a destination wedding photographer to capture the story of your big day? If you are looking for photos that feel natural and tell a real story, that can be later used to revisit emotions and genuine memories, I am sure you will relate to my work.

I am based in Madeira Island in Portugal, but I regularly photograph destination weddings and elopements all over Portugal or even elsewhere in Europe… wherever your story might take me.

Hello! My name is Miguel Ponte and I am a destination wedding photographer based in Madeira Island, Portugal, that loves to travel the world to photograph love stories  in a natural and candid style with the ocasional epic photo.

I studied psychology in college, but I later found out that I love to photograph people in social settings. Actually, psychology and photography compliment each other very well: to photograph people, you really have to understand them and be able to create a connection with them.

Besides several Fearless, ISPWP, This is Reportage and MyWed awards, I was awarded the Wedding Golden Camera for European Wedding Photographer of the Year in 2021 and 2023 by the Federation of European Professional Photographers.

I am also proud of being one of the ambassadors of KoyLab, a Portuguese company specializing in taylored albums, and Imagen-Ai, a lifesaver software for the busiest photographers, which saves years of life in editing using artificial intelligence.

However, despite all the accolades, my biggest accomplishment in life is actually being the father of a little girl, which is my main source of inspiration.
