| Wedding Photography by MIGUEL PONTE | – Fotógrafo de casamento, Ilhas da Madeira e Porto Santo, Portugal

Wedding photographer in Portugal

Are you looking for a local wedding photographer for your destination wedding or photo session in Portugal? Count me in! I am based in Madeira Island but i have photographed weddings all over Portugal, in places like Lisbon, Sintra, the Algarve and also Porto Santo Island.

Do you want someone to record the emotions you were feeling at the time, as well as the true ambience of the magnificient portuguese scenaries, as opposed to poses purposely elaborated for the photo, often without any content, logic or relation to the context? If you answered yes to any of the previous questions, you came to the right place 🙂

To make sure I am the best photographer for your wedding please check my portfolio here on the website, on my facebook page or instagram profile.

Diana + Hugo

It’s been a while since i have published such a big album with, much less a wedding with so much fun! A marriage with several setbacks and anxiety, but with a lot of excitement to the mix … just like I like it! And what about the venue

Dani+ Robert

During my last week’s break in Tenerife, I was given the opportunity to photograph two different couples in a real spanish ghost town. These are some photos from the first couple, that curiosly were the first couple whose wedding I

Ania + Sam

This photoshoot happened 2 days before Ania & Sam’s big day! It was the perfect start to an amazing wedding week for both of them, where Poland & Britain joined hands in Madeira Island. Pre-wedding sessions are very important because

In 2018 I had the honor and pleasure to photograph the wedding of Marlene and Lino, a couple that is already part of my extended heart family. A marriage with everything, everyone and in every way, full, overflowing with feelings and emotion. This

Marta + Tiago

In Portugal there is saying that goes “from Spain, neither good winds nor good marriages”. That is surely not true for this wedding, because Marta, my first Spanish bride, and Tiago, a Madeiran fit perfectly together. In a talk with

Yan + Justin

After having photographed a wedding with a Philippine bride early last year, after doing an engagement photoshoot with a couple of Taiwanase origins and after shooting a Polineasean couple from Hawai, Yan and Justin were not my first couple from the

Nicoleta + Catalin

This photoshoot, held at the end of September, was one of the most difficult of the year. Not because of the couple, for sure. Nicoleta & Catalin, a newly wed couple from Romenia, hired me to take them on yet another of my adventures and they

O Miguel foi desde das primeiras reuniões super flexível e percebeu logo aquilo que pretendíamos. A qualidade do seu trabalho superou todas as nossas expectativas. Recomendámos o Miguel a casais amigos que já casaram e outros que ainda irão casar, e continuaremos a fazê-lo!Só temos a agradecer ao Miguel por ter sido tão profissional e ao mesmo tempo por nos ter deixado tão à vontade e relaxados durante as sessões fotográficas, e de certa forma ter tornado as nossas fotos, com pessoas tão pouco fotogénicas (😂) em recordações fantásticas para o resto das nossas vidas.Muito obrigado por tudo Miguel.

Finally, I can add my opinion 😀 It was not just a wedding session, it was also a Madeira tour with a professional guide.:)Miguel told us a lot about the island (after what he says I know that this is his place on Earth <3) he has very much knowledge about Madeira, about history, culture and cuisine.The photo session lasted about 3.5 hours and took place in 3 locations.I had to be patient, I waited for photos for 3 months, but I understand that the interest in the sessions was high, so the photos were a bit delayed, but it WORTH to wait!!!!The pictures are wonderful, I'm happy that I decided to take sessions and Miguel. With a clear conscience I recommend to everyone!!! <3 <3 <3 <3

Melhor fotógrafo de casamento possível 📸O Miguel foi absolutamente fantástico desde o primeiro minuto. Muito profissional, acessível e com ótimas sugestões. Foi extremamente divertido no dia do casamento, deixou-nos à vontade, tirou-nos os nervos e fez-nos rir o tempo todo. E não esqueçamos: cliques absolutamente originais, únicos e maravilhosos! Uma máquina fotográfica nas mãos deste senhor é capaz de fazer os melhores milagres. É preciso dom. De um dia tão importante, o que ficam são as memórias e a forma como são capturadas e guardadas. E nós não poderíamos ter escolhido uma melhor forma de capturar estes momentos e de recordar este dia. Carolina & Basílio 27/07/2019Infinitos obrigados por tudo, Miguel!🤝

Miguel was an absolute pleasure to work with. Even though it was a photoshoot, he made the whole experience quite personal and it felt more like getting to know a new friend. Miguel took us on a tour of his hometown and managed to capture some incredible photos. He has an excellent eye for finding natural light and we absolutely loved how easy it was with him. Very few photos were posed, most of them were candid and felt natural. The actual shots took very little time, so we could also enjoy the scenery and take it in. The whole experience for us was very memorable and we felt like we made a new friend. Thank you Miguel for capturing such a special time in our lives in the most spectacular fashion!

I am definitely suggesting Miguel if you are looking for an excellent photographer who knows every secret place on the island and doesn’t miss an opportunity for a great photo to occur. Not only that he is a BIG professional, but also a very kind and pleasant man, which I believe when it comes to a photo shooting is an absolute necessity!😁Thank you Miguel for the amazing experience, without you, Madeira experience wouldn’t be the same👏🏻🙂

Não podíamos ter feito melhor escolha para a reportagem fotográfica do nosso casamento. O Miguel além de profissional e muito divertido, é acima de tudo um artista. As fotos ficaram impressionantes, e mostram a essência de cada momento captado. Com o seu olho atento, o Miguel superou todas as nossas expectativas com o seu trabalho, e a forma descontraida, mas muito profissional como trabalha. Muito obrigado pelo serviço prestado. Cada imagem ficará gravada na nossa memória para recordarmos o dia feliz que vivemos.Um grande abraço e votos das maiores felicidades!

As fotografias eternizam momentos já todos nós sabemos mas como tu fazes é único e tão especial =)não te conhecíamos e o que nos chamou a atenção foi a maneira como captas as expressões, as emoções ... Sem ter de olhar para uma câmara... E no nosso casamento não foi excepção. A empatia que tivemos foi fora de série, sentimos que já te conhecíamos há muito tempo, o que foi óptimo para estarmos tão à vontade, por vezes até demais =)Não poderíamos estar mais satisfeitos. Adoramos e ainda não vimos todas as fotos. Obrigada pelo teu profissionalismo e pelo carinho;) Continuações do óptimo trabalho;) ÉS O MELHOR!!! Top garinee . Beijinho e abraço. Tamara & Juan

We wondered for a long time, how to sum up cooperation with Miguel, because it's hard to find proper words to describe how wonderful was the session day and how warm and friendly is Miguel. It was our first session as a couple and Miguel made that it wasn't stressful, but very funny and happy experience. In the Miguel company we felt like old friends. 🙂 And the photos are fantastic! Miguel, thank you once again. Also thanks to you, vacation on Madeira will stay in our minds and hearts for a long time. Muito obrigada! :)Regards,Kinga&Michał

Great experience! We liked a lot that Miguel showed interest in knowing and feeling us as a couple before our wedding day. He demonstrated not only a true dedication to photography, but also empathy and a lot of respect to our wedding ideas. We felt relaxed and confident with him. Miguel seems to be a very creative, easy-going, smart and well-organized photographer, who actually became a friend. My husband and I are very satisfied with Miguel's work and kindly recommend him for any other couple!
