Hello, I’m Salomé! A wedding photographer based in Portugal, capturing love stories for couples from around the world.
My journey began eight years ago when I decided to study Photography, at a moment in life when I wasn’t sure which path to take. That decision turned out to be the best one I’ve ever made!
Since then, I’ve photographed many beautiful stories, but it’s weddings, couples, and families that truly make my heart full. I love working with international couples who choose Portugal for their destination wedding.
When you choose me as your wedding photographer in Portugal, I’ll be looking for natural, candid moments filled with light, joy, and genuine emotion. My goal is to capture all the elegance and beauty of your celebration, creating a timeless collection of images you will never grow tired of. My approach is always guiding you gently so you feel comfortable in front of the camera, while letting spontaneous, authentic moments unfold naturally.
When I’m not photographing, you’ll probably find me curled up with my Kobo reading a gripping thriller, or daydreaming about our next trip while scrolling Skyscanner. I’ve been happily married to my favorite person for four years, and at home we share life with Moa and Lyra — two cats full of personality and mischief.
If you’re planning to get married in Portugal and want a photographer who will tell your story in an authentic and timeless way, I’d love to hear from you.
A few of my favourite things
Objects: Antique shops, vintage items, and old objects full of history (I love photo albums!)
Travel: I love traveling. I can get lost in a city and spend hours walking through museums, but I also love camping and hiking!
Favorite series: I’ve watched Friends over and over again. It’s a comfort series I always come back to.
Books: I remember enjoying reading ever since I learned how. I love historical novels or a good thriller.
My why
Being a wedding photographer is so much more than just taking photos. My purpose is to create a timeless legacy of joyful memories from your wedding day, moments that will never happen again. I am passionate about capturing classic, elegant, and emotional images that tell the unique story of your celebration.
As a wedding photographer in Portugal, I’ve had the privilege of capturing weddings at many wedding venues in Portugal, from the Lisbon area to the stunning Douro Valley and the charming Alentejo region.
I ensure my couples feel completely at ease in front of the camera (I know it can feel intimidating, but my clients always say I make it effortless!). I’m dedicated to providing a personalised, stress-free experience from our very first meeting until I deliver your full wedding gallery. I’ll be by your side capturing every beautiful detail and genuine emotion of your day.
Kind words
“A fortunate coincidence led us to Salomé Martinho. I say fortunate because besides being a sweet, delicate, and friendly. She is also super talented. There are few words to define her work. Nothing better than seeing the photos she takes. They are the mirror of each of our souls. She is capable of capturing our best in a spontaneous, light way... Making us feel super comfortable and genuinely happy! In addition to a lot of talent, Salomé puts a lot of love into what she does. That's why everything is so natural, beautiful, and perfect.”
