Client Reviews
Memories clients truly value
Thoughtful words from travellers, couples and families who trusted MD Photography to capture their time in Portugal with elegance, warmth and authenticity.
Since I was setting up a proposal photoshoot in Portugal from Canada, I was weary about choosing the right photographer. However, Martim and Thiago were very trustworthy, helpful, easy to contact. They've captured a moment in our lives we will never forget!
I reached out with less than 8 hours' notice hoping to salvage a surprise proposal photoshoot. Despite the incredibly short timeline, the team was responsive, organized, and able to coordinate everything seamlessly. … The photos are something we'll treasure for the rest of our lives.
Martim and Matheus were incredibly supportive in sharing their recommendations and insights when planning the surprise proposal. … Thank you again for making sure the proposal was an incredibly special day and moment for us.
Booked a last minute photo shoot surprise for my husband to commemorate our honeymoon/visit to Lisboa. … Thiago did a wonderful job capturing us as we wandered through Lisboa.
Coming all the way from Ireland, I can say this company is completely legitimate, fairly priced, and delivers excellent customer service. We were literally singing in the rain in Sintra.
From booking to communicating details, to meeting up for the shoot, to receiving our photos; Martim and Thiago were amazing. … You absolutely need to book your photography session here.
