Words From My Clients

Rui took photos of us during a wine tour we did with him on our honeymoon in Portugal, and we're so glad he did! The photos turned out absolutely beautiful and are such a special memory from our trip.

He made everything feel natural and effortless, and captured some really great moments throughout the day without anything feeling posed or forced. The photos perfectly captured both the stunning scenery and the excitement of our honeymoon, and we love having them to remember such an incredible day in the Douro Valley.

We are so grateful to have these memories and would absolutely recommend Rui to anyone looking for beautiful, natural photos!!

Thank you Rui for being there for such a special moment for us. My boyfriend proposed to me and Rui helped him plan everything and was there to capture the moment. Rui is a fabulous photographer. He is very talented and we feel very lucky to have his photos as our memories. I’m very nervous in photos, not a photogenic person and generally not a fan of pictures, but Rui made us feel so comfortable and managed to get some absolutely brilliant shots we will treasure forever.
We booked Rui as a tour guide around the Douro valley through his other business and are so grateful we were also able to utilise his skill as a photographer too for long lasting memories of a special moment.
Thanks again Rui, you’re amazing

Rui was our own personal paparazzi as he guided us across the Douro Valley. He was able to capture some great candid photos of my wife and I as we explored. We loved Rui’s vintage style to his photos and he was so enjoyable to work with. Highly recommend!

Prior to meeting Rui I was completely unaware of the Fuji film artistic style camera. I can safely say that is no longer the case. Rui captured candid, raw and beautifully artistic pictures of my wife and I in the Douro Valley. We are very fortunate to have discovered Rui and spent the day with him. He made our trip so special that we will forever be grateful.

Rui took the best photos of me and my girlfriend that I have ever seen. He is a trained artist and every shot he takes tells a story.

We had originally booked Rui through his tour company DWT Private Wine Tours so show us around the Douro Valley for the day. Luckily, it so happened that Rui is also a highly talented photographer which he combines seamlessly with excellent photos of our day in the Valley. I had also had prior communications with Rui regarding the photography element as I was planning to propose to my partner of 4.5 years and wanted to take her completely by surprise in a beautiful location and for the moment and day leading up to this moment to be captured so we have something to look back on in years to come. Rui was absolutely fantastic, firstly with his communications. The plan leading up to the proposal was super clear and my partner did not suspect a thing. He was open to catering to any type of plan or request and also would give alternate recommendations, which is great for me as he knows the area far better than I do. He even changed the viewpoint for the proposal because he wanted it to be perfect. Onto the photography - the photos are fantastic, he captured some great moments during the day and for the proposal I couldn’t have asked for this to be captured any better. He captured the emotions of the whole moment perfectly whilst keeping the quality of the photos high and capturing the breathtaking scenery that surrounded us. He was also super quick to review the photos and send them to us with a number of different options. Would highly recommend Rui for any special event.

Rui is fantastic! He took us on a private, full-day wine tour of the Douro River Valley from Porto, and we had such a memorable day! We visited two lovely (but very different) wineries, had a delicious, traditional Portuguese lunch, and took a leisurely cruise on the river. We had the unexpected bonus of Rui documenting our day with his camera. The photos are gorgeous! I highly recommend his wine tour (and his photography). Muito obrigada!
