WHERE TO PROPOSE IN LISBON?
Lisbon offers endless beautiful places to propose, from iconic viewpoints to hidden, intimate corners.
The perfect location is not always the most popular one. The timing, the level of privacy, and the atmosphere you imagine all play a key role in creating a truly meaningful moment.
Here are a few locations where I’ve captured beautiful, real proposals:
MIRADOURO DAS PORTAS DO SOL - ALFAMA
One of the most iconic views in Lisbon, overlooking the rooftops of Alfama and the river.
Perfect for a proposal with a traditional Lisbon atmosphere, especially in the early morning, when the light is soft, and the space feels more intimate and free from crowds.
MIRADOURO DE SÃO PEDRO DE ALCÂNTARA - BAIRRO ALTO
A beautiful viewpoint set within a garden, with wide views over Lisbon stretching from the castle down to the river.
Ideal for a calm and relaxed proposal, surrounded by greenery, best experienced in the early morning, when the space is quieter, and the city slowly comes to life.
TORRE DE BELÉM
One of Lisbon’s most iconic landmarks, set along the river with a cinematic and timeless atmosphere.
Perfect for a proposal that feels bold and unforgettable, a moment framed by history, the river, and one of the city’s most recognisable views.

“ The entire shoot was seamless from start to finish and we genuinely had an amazing time! She’s an absolute gem! If it’s within my means, I would love to fly her out to the US to attend our wedding and capture more of our life moments. I cried tears of joy when I saw the images. 11/10 stars!! ”

“Wow, what can we possibly say about Ana other than WOW !!!! She was kind, funny, she knew how to make us comfortable, and super responsive all throughout the process.
