your wedding should be art
photographed with love, edited by hand
As a wedding photographer, I believe that each wedding deserves to be art.
You put so much love and thought into planning your day, so your photos should capture it in exquisite, cinematic detail. Each wedding is unique and special. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all — each person, each relationship and each event requires a gaze that is attentive, careful and personalized.
I photograph an exclusive amount of weddings per season, to guarantee that I can give you the time and attention you deserve.
your wedding will be everything
it’ll be an emotional ceremony, full of laughter and joy. it’ll be a day when happy tears are shed, and which will always be remembered as having the most beautiful of lights. we’ll find magic in the most mundane of details — be it in the hands that tie the dress or a soft touch between friends.
the photographs you’ll get will be worldly and open hearted, luxurious and artistic — and they will always be extraordinary.
“ I can’t help but feel like the stars perfectly aligned when I was able to book such a master of her craft!
You've given us a gift we'll forever hold close to our hearts.”

“There are no words to describe how grateful we are to have had Ana as our photographer. She helped us create the most perfect day. She helped to build a calm atmosphere which added to my wife and I having the most wonderful wedding memories.
We absolutely loved our final photos, not only were we able to relive our day but also see moments of the day we missed. We had the best day of our lives, it was everything we could have ever dreamed for. Thank you so much for being part of it.”

“Luminous Photography was one of the best choices we made for our wedding day. It was so easy to build a trusting relationship from the first conversation we had, as Ana Luísa made us feel really comfortable from the get go.
What we really loved about Luminous Photography is how Ana Luísa managed to capture story and emotions while being unobtrusive and relaxed, and making others feel relaxed as well. We also really loved her experimental approach to some of our pictures and how unique they are because she really tried to capture who we are as a couple and the things we both love.”

“My husband and I had several conversations with Ana before the big day discussing everything from our ‘must have’ shots, to the wedding program and timing, to potential locations where we could shoot.
Ana is very knowledgeable about the region and had many good suggestions for where we could capture the natural beauty of the coast as well as some of the famous blue and white tiles in the background of our shoot. In spite of some challenging weather, we got our shoot done and were very happy with the resultsThank you Luminous team! ”
