About Lens & Vows

A wedding happens once. The photographs stay.

Lens & Vows is a marketplace of wedding photographers in Portugal — for couples flying in, and for couples marrying at home.

Why we started

Finding the photographer shouldn’t be the hard part

Looking for a wedding photographer usually means scrolling through directories of near-identical highlight reels, writing to a dozen people and waiting days to hear who is even free on your date.

We wanted the opposite. Tell us the place and the date, see straight away who is free and fits, look through their whole weddings, and book with your money protected until your photographs arrive.

What we believe

  1. Whole weddings, not highlight reels

    We ask every photographer for three complete weddings before we approve them, and that is what you look through.

  2. Free means free

    Photographers keep their calendars with us. A date that shows as free is one you can actually book.

  3. One price: the photographer’s

    You pay what the photographer charges. Our commission comes out of the deposit — never added on top.

  4. Your money waits for your photos

    Pay the balance through us and it reaches the photographer only after you accept your gallery.

Portugal first

One country, done properly

Seven regions, from Lisbon and Sintra to the Douro, Comporta, the Alentejo, the Algarve, Madeira and the Azores — in English and Portuguese, for couples travelling in and couples from here.

Other countries will follow, as new sections of the same site. Until then, Portugal has our full attention.

For photographers

Paid only when you are booked

No fee to join and no monthly bill. Photographers keep their own prices and their own style; we earn a commission only when a couple books, out of the deposit.
