Your day, honestly

Wedding photography in Porto and across Portugal.

From the first quiet morning to the last dance — a calm, unstaged record of your day, told in the same light it happened in.

Diana Perova, wedding photographer
Your photographer

Hi, I’m Diana — a wedding photographer based in Porto.

Weddings are my favourite thing to photograph — it’s where everything I love about this work comes together: real feeling, natural light, and people far too happy to pose.

I shoot intimate weddings and elopements in Porto, and travel across Portugal and beyond for the stories worth telling. I take on only a handful of weddings a year, so each couple gets my full attention — from the first call to the last edited frame.

Your wedding day, from first call to gallery

Thejourney

(Chapter I)

Before the day

01

Getting to know each other

Over a coffee in the city centre, or a call on Zoom — wherever you are. We start by simply getting to know each other.

02

Timing & locations

We map out the timeline of the day, scout possible shooting spots and share ideas.

03

Contract & advance payment

I send the contract for you to review. A deposit reserves your date exclusively for you.

04

The final concept

I put together a moodboard — a selection of frames that will guide the shoot, the poses and the locations — until it feels unmistakably like you.

05

Preparing the equipment

I shoot on modern gear (Leica Q3) and always work with several cameras, with spare batteries and cards ready — so no moment is ever at risk.

(Chapter II)

The day itself

06

Meeting on the wedding day

I arrive early to scout the location and be there for you from the very start.

07

The morning

Reportage frames of the preparations — the details and the first quiet moments with family and friends.

08

The ceremony

Full immersion in the moment, close and unobtrusive, for the frames you’ll want to keep forever.

09

Grand finale — the party

The evening at full volume: every smile, toast and dance, a story of its own.

(Chapter III)

After the day

10

First frames in 48 hours

A first set of around ten photos reaches you within two days — so you can relive the day while it’s still warm.

11

Natural retouching

I edit every frame by hand, with natural retouching that keeps skin, light and colour true to life.

12

Your private gallery

Your finished story arrives in a personal online gallery — download in full resolution and share with whom you choose.

By default, your photos may feature in Diana’s portfolio. Prefer to keep the day just between us? Full confidentiality is available for an additional fee.

Marta & Tiago · Porto, 2024

“Diana felt like a friend who happened to have a camera. Every frame looks exactly like how the day felt.”
Sofia & André · Douro Valley, 2023
