Photographer in Lisbon – Capture Your Memories in Portugal
Whether it’s your first time in Portugal or a return to a city you love, the right photographs make the memories last. At MD Fotografia, we create timeless images for couples, families and travelers exploring Lisbon, Sintra and Cascais — capturing golden light, real laughter and unposed emotion.
From surprise proposals to vacations that feel like films
Every session starts with a story. Maybe it’s a proposal in Lisbon, a family trip through Sintra’s gardens, or a sunset walk in Cascais. Our work focuses on storytelling through light — cinematic yet natural, guided but never staged.
Top spots for photography in and around Lisbon
Lisbon’s charm lies in its contrasts — the old trams of Alfama, modern rooftops in Chiado, and riverside serenity in Almada. Some of our favourite places:
- Miradouro da Senhora do Monte — sweeping views over the city skyline.
- Alfama — colourful walls and cobblestone alleys for intimate portraits.
- Praia da Adraga (Sintra) — wild, cinematic beach sessions.
- Cascais Marina — golden light and elegant coastal energy.
- Ponto Final (Almada) — perfect for sunset proposals facing Lisbon.
