LOVE WITHOUT LIMITS.
Captured beautifully in Portugal!
Elope in one of Europe’s most LGBTQ+-friendly destinations.
Not only is Portugal absolutely gorgeous, 
But it´s also welcoming, open-hearted, and endlessly romantic. 
From the golden beaches of the Algarve to the fairytale palaces of Sintra, Portugal invites you to love freely and feel completely at ease.
Here, your love isn’t just accepted — it’s celebrated.
And the best part is you get to create a wedding day that feels right to you.
But now that you’ve chosen Portugal to elope, where do you go?
If you're feeling a little lost or unsure, don’t worry – you’re in the right place.
 
        
        
      
    
    Yes, I photograph amazing couples eloping in Portugal — all kinds of love, in all its beautiful forms.
I also help plan your dream elopement, connecting you with LGBTQ+-friendly vendors every step of the way.
Hello Gorgeous,
Hello Gorgeous,
Love is love, and it deserves to be documented beautifully.
Hi, I’m Ronise
I’m your creative guide, biggest cheerleader, and storyteller. I’m here to capture your love — raw, joyful, and unfiltered.
I´m here to capture your love beautifully — whether you’re two brides, two grooms, nonbinary sweethearts, or anyone in between.
And like you, I’m in awe of Portugal!!
I’ll guide your elopement with ease and intention, capturing the genuine, soul-deep moments that make your love story uniquely yours.
I also work exclusively with vendors who are LGBTQ+ friendly and inclusive, no matter the type of wedding.
Why I value being your elopement photographer.
No, I’m not solving climate change or ending world hunger—I mean, I wish. But I know your photos will become one of your most cherished possessions. You’ll look back on them for years, reflecting on this incredible day.
It’s an honor to be the person capturing these memories, and I take this responsibility to heart!
 
        
        
      
    
    MY CALENDAR - WHERE TO FIND ME THIS YEAR
DECEMBER – JANUARY | PORTUGAL, FLORIDA
Spending the holidays in Florida with family (and sunshine!).  I will also be sneaking in a couple of elopements during this time. Then, I’m headed back to Portugal
JANUARY – MARCH | PORTUGAL, CABO VERDE
Splitting my time between Lisbon and Cabo Verde—my life in Portugal, and Cabo Verde calls me back for vacation, family time, and a few dreamy elopements.
APRIL – NOVEMBER | PORTUGAL + EUROPE, MOROCCO, CABO VERDE
 Home base is Lisbon, Portugal, during these months, but I’m available to travel for work! Most of Europe, Morocco, and Cabo Verde are just a quick flight away—perfect for destination shoots and elopements.
 
        
        
      
    
    I’m not just a photographer;
I’ll be your local guide in planning a perfect, seamless, and stress-free elopement.
“Your love, your day, your story — celebrated your way.”
Whether in the gardens of Monserrate, along Comporta’s pristine beaches, atop Cabo da Roca’s cliffs, or along Porto’s riverside, I’ll help your elopement day unfold and capture every unforgettable moment.
Imagine celebrating your love in a truly magical corner of Portugal, where every moment feels extraordinary.
Perhaps you want to say ‘I do’ after hiking down to the hidden beach of Praia da Ursa
OR
Exchange your vows atop a breathtaking cliff in the Azores
OR
Wander the cobblestone streets of Portugal’s cities
OR
anything in between.
 
        
        
      
    
    I’ll help you plan
every detail...
Making sure your elopement day is meaningful, stress-free, and perfectly crafted to reflect your unique personalities.
Simply Arrive and Have Fun. I’ll Handle the Rest.
All you have to do is soak it in and enjoy every single moment.
I could tell you I love what I do……
but the real proof is in what couples have to say.
I’ll capture all the gorgeous, unmissable moments of your day.
I will also….
- Plan and design your elopement your way. I’ll tailor it to fit you, not a copy-and-paste wedding template. 
- I’ll scout breathtaking beaches and coastal towns to ensure your day is nothing short of magical. And, with backup plans in place, we’ll gracefully adapt to any weather, ensuring the day unfolds beautifully no matter what. 
- Manage timelines, checklists, and all essential arrangements. 
- Obtain all necessary permits (if needed). 
5. Provide recommendations for florists, restaurants, officiants, and other services to make your day seamlessly easy.
6. Handle the schedule for the entire day, ensuring we’re always on track, so you both can stay present while having the time of your lives
7. Capture candid, intimate moments, even when you’re not aware, so your photos feel raw and genuine.
8. From the moment you book, we’ll stay in touch as needed. I’ll be there every step of the way, ensuring the planning process flows smoothly.
 
        
        
      
    
    And Here is the Icing on the Cake!
I will deliver sneak peek images within
24-48 hours after your elopement.
I’m sure you won’t be able to wait to share them with your friends and family!

    STILL HAVE QUESTIONS?
You may find your answers here.
- 
      
        
          
        
      
      I’m based in Lisbon most of the year, but traveling is my passion. I’ve explored over 20 countries, and I’m always ready for the next adventure! 
- 
      
        
      
      I’m a resident of both the US and Portugal (check my ‘about me’ section for the story). This allows me to give my couples from both ends of the world plenty of options. I accent payments through a cc payment link, Venmo, PayPal, MBWay, or EU/US bank transfers. Whatever works for you. 
- 
      
        
      
      Not at all! I’ll capture key moments, candid shots, and beautiful portraits, but I’ll also give you space to enjoy the day. You’ll get plenty of time to just be in the moment. 
- 
      
        
      
      Most of the time, I’ll encourage you to embrace the weather—unless it’s truly unfavorable. I only book one elopement per week, so if needed, we can shift your day forward or back to catch the best conditions. 
- 
      
        
      
      I customize each edit based on skin tone, location, vibe, and mood. That said, I don’t use Photoshop to alter natural bodies. My goal is to capture you authentically—just as you are. 
- 
      
        
      
      You’ll receive your gallery in 3-4 weeks, sometimes sooner if possible. 
- 
      
        
      
      Because I love an excuse to travel and work with amazing couples in stunning locations. If your wedding is in a gorgeous part of Europe, I’m in! 
- 
      
        
      
      Of course! I’m happy to photograph and plan an elopement with up to 15 people. 
- 
      
        
      
      Bring them along! As someone from a big family, I absolutely love and welcome little humans.
