Meet our Team

ABOUT

Maria Imaginária was born in 2013 from a shared passion for pushing creative boundaries and growing through every story we document. We give the very best of ourselves to create meaningful, personal and unforgettable memories. Our team is made up of young, creative people who are deeply passionate about photography and film, and always eager to learn more.

Our work is intentionally personal and handcrafted; each project is tailored to the couple’s story, ensuring a unique and deeply customized experience from start to finish.

As wedding photographers and videographers in Lisbon, we work side by side to maintain a consistent visual identity across all our work. We focus on genuine emotions and unique moments, captured through an attentive, discreet and heartfelt approach.

We love meeting people, spending time with them and documenting their lives. At weddings, we prefer to blend in like guests and friends — this allows our photography and videography to reflect an authentic, close perspective of the day.

Based in Lisbon, we document weddings throughout Portugal, and we travel worldwide to tell stories wherever they unfold. Whether you’re searching for a Lisbon wedding photographer, a wedding videographer in Lisbon or a creative team for a destination wedding, we’re always ready to capture your story anywhere your journey takes you.

F .A .Q. s

 

What’s your approach on the wedding day?
The wedding day is a gathering of your friends and relatives and we see it as a great opportunity to capture the everyday things, the real bonds, the way you connect with your loved ones, those sweet things that aren’t unique on this day and you’ll want to remember forever. An important part of our work is having the sensitivity to understand what’s really important for you – not only in the present but specially in the future – and document it with beautiful images that can make you bring back in time.

Do you make family and bridal party portraits?
Yes we do. Usually bridesmaid or best man are in charge of having a list of the groups to be photographed so they help us get everyone together.  If you want to do a big group photo with all the guests, let us know in advance so we can arrange the best time and place to do it.
If you aren’t interested on this photos, we highly recommend to take informal portraits with just your dearest relatives.

What’s better for my wedding: One or two photographers?
If you’re having less than 90 guests, we strongly recommend to have one photographer/videographer. We like to be part of the wedding and we do believe that with less professionals it is easier to fit on it, get to know the people and become part of the group. We focus our main attention on the couple and their closest guests and family so the guests with minor connection with the bride and groom will be the ones we’ll be paying less attention.
If you’re expecting more than 150 guests, a second photographer can be advised so we can capture more moments and situations between guests. 

How do you organize timings and details for the wedding day? Do you shoot both bride and groom preparation?
Less than a month before the wedding we send you a form with all details we need to know for the whole day, such as locations, timings, contacts and special requests. We analyze that information and send you our feedback about how we pretend to approach the wedding day, so we can cover all the major moments, including both bride and groom preparations.

Do we have to do some effort to look good on the camera?
During the day, we will do everything to make you feel comfortable. Don’t worry, we won’t ask you to do anything besides having fun, be yourselves and enjoy the most on your wedding day.
