Hi, I’m João Barnabé
Wedding photographer in Portugal and Worlwide

destination wedding photographer

I’m a passionate wedding photographer based in Portugal, with a heart full of adventure and a camera ready to capture the beauty of love. But beyond my work, I’m a father to two wonderful girls, Carminho and Rosarinho, and a proud husband to Maria. Together, we create a life filled with joy, adventure, and inspiration.

Since 2014, I’ve been dedicated to documenting love stories around the world. From the United States to England, Ireland, Italy, Spain, Norway, and the Netherlands, I’ve had the privilege of photographing couples in some of the most beautiful and unique places. This global experience allows me to bring a diverse perspective to my photography, infusing each wedding with a sense of timelessness and authenticity.

As an avid adventurer, I’m deeply connected to nature and outdoor sports. Whether it’s running, cycling, swimming in the sea, or hiking, these activities help me find balance and inspiration. A deep love for cinema also influences my work, allowing me to infuse each image with a cinematic feel.

Capturing Love in Its Purest Form

For me, wedding photography is about more than just creating beautiful pictures. It’s about capturing the unique essence of each couple, the love they share, and the joy they feel being surrounded by their closest family and friends. 

I believe that every wedding deserves to be treated with the utmost dedication, care, and passion – all of which I pour into every single photograph I take. Your wedding is not just a celebration; it’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience that deserves to be immortalized in the most genuine and timeless way possible.

Why Choose me?

Investing in wedding photography is about more than just having beautiful photos to look at. It’s about trusting someone to tell your story authentically, in a way that reflects who you are as individuals and as a couple. My goal is to create images that will take you right back to that magical day, even years from now.

Thank you for considering me to be a part of your journey. It would be an honor to capture the moments that matter most to you, turning them into eternal memories. Let’s create something truly special together!
