We recently got married on a gorgeous wine farm in Portugal and the venue recommended Fabio and Maria. How lucky we were to have two such wonderful and attentive photographers immortalising our special day. They made us feel so comfortable and truly captured the love and happiness we felt. They were unobtrusive and yet got all the shots! I would highly recommend them for their thorough and friendly service, viewing the end result just brought the day alive again.

Fabio & Maria, we wanted to say a HUGE huge thank you for everything you did for us at our wedding last week! You really are the best photographers we could have asked for who we now consider as friends! You guys are beyond talented and so much fun to work with!! For people that started off disliking taking photos of ourselves we now can’t wait to see all of them!! You worked so seamlessly with the videographers and my makeup artist and you were never intrusive, knowing how to be discret whilst still capturing some beautiful images. As well as capturing emotion and detail you also had some great suggestions for some really fun photos and during both our wedding and engagement shoots we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves!
Thank you also for staying so late at the wedding and partying with us!! We hope you had as much fun as we did.
You’re both a pleasure to be around and we honestly thank our lucky stars that we found you!! You really made our wedding special and we thank you so much.
Bruna & Ronan
Ronan: If you are planning anything that you need to capture the special moments….seriously look no further! These guys were simply the best decision we made for our wedding day. They literally fell trying to get the most perfect picture. We will never forget them as the images they captured are simply priceless. They were so nice to deal with and honestly the best decision we made for our big day! Forever in debt for capturing every moment of our big day you guys are true professionals!
Bruna: Best decision ever! I found Fabio by checking his previous work online and I was instantly impressed. After emailing them, I had no doubts – Maria and Fabio were very lovely and super patient with all our questions. During the day, they were again amazing, there was no details missed and the composition of photos were perfection. I would not change a thing! Ronan and I wanted very natural photos to capture the moment, and we barely noticed Maria and Fabio thought out the night and the end result was a lovely album with full of pricelles emotions of all the guests. They also helped us with a videographer, which made it all a smooth process. Thank you so much guys!!
We find ourselves so lucky to have met Maria and Fabio! We truly love every picture they took for us. They really brought the emotions out and captured the moment. We also took their great advice to rent a beautiful antique boat and did two hours of shooting on it. It was amazing how many different angles and settings they were able to achieve in 3 hours! Besides, they are so kind and helpful, and even helped us on other things during our stay in Lisbon. They are such a loving and caring couple!
A melhor escolha! Ainda tenho as emoções á flor da pele. Muito profissionais! Transmitem paz e energia positiva em todo o processo!
Vale muito a pena. Muito Obrigada! Super recomendo!!

My husband and I were very lucky to have come across Fabio and Maria Azanha. I got married in Portugal a few weeks ago and last year I started to look for potential photographers. I had been recommended a few but I came across Fabio and Maria entirely by chance and fell in love with their photography style. They had the perfect mix of action and what I like to call ‘posey’ photos. Neither my husband or I are used to being photographed so the idea of someone constantly snapping away at us was daunting but Maria and Fabio make a great husband and wife team and put us at ease straightaway. They captured the essence of our wedding perfectly.
Fabio and Maria were the dream photographers we didn’t even know existed! They completely understood us from day one, they were gracious and lovely on the day but never imposing, and best of all, they are amazingly talented. The moments that they captured are even more magical than we expected and it absolutely didn’t feel like a chore. They adjusted their work to what we wanted and in our case without long, boring photo shoots. Still, for every special moment they were there and we don’t have enough words to thank them for it. We absolutely recommend Fabio and Maria!
Adoramos as fotografias do Fábio e da Maria! Já é a 3x que temos o prazer de sermos fotografados por eles e impressionam-nos sempre pela excelência das fotografias! Transparecem simplicidade e beleza São um casal maravilhoso que faz maravilhas na fotografia! É uma arte
Recomendamos para as melhores recordações das vossas vidas!
Quando decidimos casar, decidimos que cada detalhe do nosso casamento tinha de ser escolhido por nós. Sabíamos que os fotógrafos teriam um grande papel no nosso casamento, uma vez que iam registar um dos momentos mais importantes da nossa vida. E todas as vezes que olhássemos para as nossas fotos, íamos nos lembrar do quão lindo aquele momento foi. Fizemos uma busca sobre os profissionais na área e todo o seu trabalho. Quando abrimos o site FabioAzanha, ficamos tão encantados com o vosso trabalho que decidimos não procurar mais e começar a rezar para que vocês tivessem disponibilidade para trabalharem connosco num dia tão importante para nós. Fizemos três sessões com vocês e todas elas foram maravilhosas. As fotos são tão lindas e expressam toda a nossa felicidade, conseguiram captar e registar todas as nossas emoções e sentimentos vividos naquele dia. A nossa felicidade, a dos nossos amigos e familiares estão tão bem ilustrada nessas lindas fotos.
Sem palavras para agradecer toda a vossa dedicação e profissionalismo e o lindo trabalho que fizeram.
O nosso muito obrigado por toda a dedicação.
We didn’t have to do a big search to decide the photographers we wanted in our wedding. As soon as we saw Fabio Azanha’s website, we knew those were the kind of pictures we wanted for our special day. Since we live in New York and the wedding was going to be in Lisbon, we contacted through email and Skype. At the end of the first Skype talk with Fabio and Maria, we decided to hire them.
It put our minds at easy to know we would have them at our wedding. They are the perfect photographers: you barely notice them working on the wedding, and then you get thousands of amazing pictures! They are easy-going, very discreet and super focused on their work.
We had a good connection with them and it was very difficult to choose the pictures for the album: they were all so incredible.
Every single person who saw our wedding pictures made compliments on them, thanks to Fabio and Maria. They’ve raised the bar on the wedding photography business
Dispenso comentários, simplesmente adoramos trabalhar com vocês, desde o primeiro encontro que ficamos com a impressão que estávamos bem entregues, pois notou-se a paixão que têm pelo vosso trabalho. Confirmamos isso com o resultado da sessão engagement que fizemos que superou muito as nossas expectativas. Somos os dois tímidos e pensamos que isso poderia prejudicar o resultado, mas gostamos muito do resultado.
Oh, how lucky we were to have stumbled upon Maria and Fabio! One look at their stunning portfolio and we were completely captivated! True to their style, our wedding photos were breathtakingly beautiful! Vivid expressions, rich colors, innocent smiles and silent thoughts – they unintrusively captured every wonderful moment of our day. They are a great team together, complementing each other, very endearing and yet very professional. Thank you, Maria and Fabio, for gifting us such indelible memories of our wedding day!
I first got to know Fábio and Maria’s work through my friends’ wedding two years earlier than mine, and I loved the result. So, once I got engaged, I just knew that they were the only option possible: i love the kind of chilled vintage feeling that we get from their work! They were awesome throughout the whole day – very calm, very relaxed they can really create a sense of intimacy with them that extends through the whole family! Everybody loved them and were very at ease with their way of work and, of course – the most important thing – we loved the final result. The pictures capture all the important moments and, also, the funny moments between the bride and the groom and all the guests! I would most certainly recommend their work!
Fabio and Maria are true artists! I never thought I’d be able to find photographers who are able to convey the feelings and emotions of a wedding in one single picture … but Maria and Fabio do it in the most beautiful way and it shows in every single one of their shots. You won’t find a more dedicated photographer to record your wedding just the right way! And as a bonus they are some of the nicest people we have ever met! :) We were lucky enough to get Fabio and Maria to be with us throughout our wedding day and record all those special moments and for that, we are forever thankful.
We live in London and recently got married in Portugal. I can’t thank Maria and Fabio enough for all of their help. Not only did they take amazing pictures of our special day, but they were great in giving us lots of useful information to plan our wedding. We would highly recommend them to any couple looking to get married!
Fabio and Maria were an absolute pleasure to work with from the start –
Customer focus: They were very happy to meet us on more than one occasion to understand how we’d like our wedding day captured and were always very prompt to answer any of our emails (and the many queries from our parents!). In particular we were really touched when they sent us sneak previews of a selection of photos while we were on honeymoon.
Proactive: They visited the venues independently to scout out the locations and lighting. On the day, they also took the initiative to speak to our priest and understand when they could take discretely photos during the mass.
Professional: On the day, they seamlessly blended in with our guests, adapted flexibly to the flow of the day and captured the story and the emotions of the day beautifully. We are so pleased with our album and are so grateful to Fabio and Maria for their hard work and patience!
Thanks again to you both!
PS: My husband says if he gets married again he’ll definitely be asking Fabio and Maria to capture his second wedding….!
“Dear Maria and Fabio, We cant find strong enough words to describe our feelings right now towards your work..!!! We´ve spent 3 hours watching every single photo on a “diaporama playlist”, and we are simply amazed by the result….!!! This is incredible, amazing, unbelievable, stunning, outstanding, just breathtaking..!!! We just cant believe what you guys have achieved in terms of art level, photography, contrast, colours, the way you have played with every external elements, the natural light, the way you have managed to make us live again throughout the whole day…!!! So, from the bottom of our hearts, we would like to thank you guys for your time, dedication, knowledge, passion, love for your work, because you simply made this an unforgetable moment again…! We shall be in touch really soon with you regarding the next steps, digital album, printing and everything else, because right now, we are off to get some sleep, as both working tomorrow, with a huge and lovely smile on our face. Many thanks again, and the words are not strong enough, believe me…
“Que bom que foi o destino!… O nosso Casamento teve duas partes, um dia de celebrações indianas e outro com a cerimónia civil. Quando tivemos a sorte de vos conhecer, sentimos uma química forte, e a certeza de que tínhamos encontrado os fotógrafos para o casamento foi instantânea. O facto de termos alterado a data da primeira festa dá para ter uma ideia do quanto gostámos de vocês. Queríamos mesmo que fizessem a reportagem do nosso Casamento! E o que tivemos de vós superou todas as expectativas. As fotos são pura arte! Eu fui manequim durante alguns anos, conheci fotógrafos muito bons… e posso dizer que as vossas fotos do nosso Casamento são das mais bonitas que já vi. Foi um prazer imenso testemunhar o vosso dom! Obrigada Maria e Fábio!”
“To capture every precious moment of our honeymoon in Europe, we spend quite a long time trying to find a wedding photographer for our photo-shoot in Fussen and Paris, and came to encounter a website with full of beautiful pictures. From our first meeting at Munich airport till the last day, Fabio & Maria constantly photographed us around stunning sites with great idea, and we found our photo seem even more magnificent than the actual scenery! As Fabio & Maria had been so enthusiastic and joyful (and so multi-lingual!!!) , our photo session itself become a great memory, and it leaves us in consideration of making another session in the beloved continent with Fabio and Maria again from miles away, which is definitely worth it.”
“We found Fabio through the net, exchanged a few e mails and agreed to meet in Lisbon in the midst of our tour around Southern Europe. We just clicked instantaneously after we met. Our request was, we wanted to have fun! And what a fun photo session indeed! Fabio & Maria graciously took us around Lisbon and showed us the bustling city as we went around. Time was tight but we managed to get many wonderful pics. Thanks Fabio & Maria, we really appreciate it! Hoping to meet you guys again.”
“Ficamos maravilhados com o trabalho do Fábio e a Maria desde o primeiro contacto. E depois de os conhecer, tivemos a certeza de que eram as pessoas indicadas para partilharem connosco em um dia tão importante para nós! Conquistaram-nos com a sua simpatia, simplicidade e grande profissionalismo. Quanto ao trabalho final, bem… está à vista de todos. Fantástico! Não temos palavras para descrever!
Obrigada Fábio e Maria pelas belíssimas fotos que para sempre nos irão ajudar a recordar aquele foi um dos dias mais felizes das nossas vidas!”
“O Fabio e a Maria tem algo de unico que nunca antes tinhamos visto….. Eles conseguem captar um casamento de forma tao crua e honesta que é possivel sentir o amor e entusiasmo nas fotos! Ainda no outro dia olhamos para as nossas fotos e era perfeitamente visivel quão divertido foi o nosso casamento. Não só o seu trabalho e resultado final são fantasticos, mas eles mesmos são das pessoas mais queridas e simpáticas que já conhecemos, o que faz com que estar com eles seja um prazer tão grande, que na maioria das vezes sentimos que e apenas um casal amigo que esta a tirar fotos! Muito obrigada pelo excelente trabalho e fotos maravilhosas!”
“El reportaje fotográfico en el Parc Güell de Barcelona fue una experiencia inolvidable. Los fotógrafos fueron muy atentos con nosotros y en seguida nos entendimos, lo que se refleja en las fotografías tan bonitas que nos hicieron. Gracias a María y Fabio por formar parte de nuestras vidas en un momento tan bonito como es un preboda. Muchas gracias por todo. No lo olvidaremos!!”
Paulo & Sita
“A nossa experiência com o Fabio e a Maria foi excepcional. Ambos são muito profissionais e criativos. Eles fizeram com que as nossas fotos ficassem mais bonitas do que alguma vez pudéssemos ter imaginado. Nós recomendamos o Fabio e a Maria para quaisquer projectos fotográficos. Para além de serem grandes profissionais, ambos tem grandes personalidade. Parabéns pelo vosso trabalho!”
Mairéad & Patric
Working with them was an absolute pleasure from the moment that we signed our contract. A short conversation before our big day put us instantly at ease and ensured that Fabio and Maria realised our expectations of their work.
On the day, Fabio and Maria worked hard to get pictures of every detail of our wonderful day while magically fading into the background at times so that we were quite relaxed and almost forgot we were being photographed!
The resulting photographs are amazingly elegant and beautiful and have been complimented time and time again by family and friends. We would not hesitate to recommend Fabio and Maria to any couple who are in the process of organising their wedding Day!”
“We met these incredibly talented professionals, just a few years ago, in another wedding and let me tell you, they know how to capture moment! After two weddings, we had no doubt on who our photographers were going to be. It’s such a fast day. So many moments pass you through: from the time you dress up, the hairdresser, the makeup, the arrival of the first guests, going to the church, the ceremony, the wedding reception, partying, and before you know it, the day´s over, already! You might think. But the pure consolation is that after just a few weeks we can relive our day, all over again, and this time as many times as we want. We have already done a few sessions in our place to share with our friends those unique moments, and the photos came out brilliantly….the colours, the people and their moods, the music (yes, you almost can sense the party again) so much was expressed on our wedding pictures. Perfect moments! That’s the way we can describe Fábio and Maria behind their camera, capturing our wedding day. Dear Fábio and Maria, your style defines you, we love this photojournalistic style and we are so pleased to have had you as our photographers and friends. We wish you the very best! “
