It was in our beautiful Algarve that Anna and Tamim got engaged. And there’s nothing better than a photoshoot to perpetuate this new chapter in the country where they were happy. They took so many good memories with them and I was lucky enough to meet them and capture their genuine love.


An intimate sunset photoshoot to celebrate love on the wild Algarve coast.

Nestled in the heart of the Costa Vicentina, Praia do Castelejo in Vila do Bispo is one of those rare places where nature still feels untouched. Its dramatic cliffs, soft golden sand, and wild Atlantic waves make it the perfect setting for an engagement photoshoot in the Algarve — especially for couples who love adventure and raw beauty.


This session was extra special. These two had just gotten engaged and wanted to mark the moment with a photoshoot that felt relaxed, natural and full of feeling. We met at golden hour, when the sun was beginning to dip behind the cliffs, casting a warm glow across the beach. The atmosphere was calm and easy — no stiff posing, just genuine connection, movement and the kind of emotion you can’t fake.


They laughed, held each other close, wandered barefoot through the sand and soaked up every second of this chapter they’re stepping into together.
