About / Story

I'm Tim — originally from a small town near Görlitz, on the German-Polish border. As a wedding photographer, I tell stories and travel the world for them. But for you, I'm happy to come to Porto to tell yours.

Porto, Portugal's second-largest city, exudes a captivating blend of historical grandeur and contemporary vibrancy. Nestled along the Douro River, its iconic Ribeira district, a UNESCO World Heritage site, showcases colorful buildings, narrow cobblestone streets, and a palpable sense of history. The city's rich maritime past is interwoven with its renowned port wine production, offering a unique cultural tapestry for couples seeking a distinctive wedding destination.

Beyond its historical charm, Porto boasts a thriving arts scene, innovative gastronomy, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. From the opulent Livraria Lello, a bookshop that inspired J.K. Rowling, to the modern Casa da Música, designed by Rem Koolhaas, Porto offers a diverse range of settings for unforgettable wedding celebrations. The city's romantic bridges, picturesque gardens, and stunning river views provide a breathtaking backdrop for capturing timeless wedding memories. Choosing Porto means embracing a city where tradition and modernity harmoniously coexist, creating an unforgettable experience for you and your guests.
