HELLO THere, I’m so happy you’re here!
First off, I’m a regular Person, just like you!
I'm Carlos — a wedding photographer based in Wiltshire, UK, and a former microelectronics and semiconductor engineer. I spent years working in microelectronics — a field as technical as it sounds. There are worse ways to earn a living, but it wasn’t until I picked up a camera and started photographing weddings that I realised what I’d been missing. Over the past decade, I've had the pleasure of capturing over 300 weddings across the UK.
Initially, photography was a playground for me — a creative outlet to experiment, explore, and yes, get hooked on an expensive hobby, ha! But I soon realised that it wasn’t just about the freedom I found behind the lens — especially after my daughters were born — it was about preserving precious memories. That's why I give everything I have to every couple on their special day, as I know that in a few years' time, they’ll look back and treasure all those moments that made their day truly unforgettable.
It's been an incredible journey, and I truly love what I do and genuinely believe that I have the best job in the world!
When I’m not Photographing weddings...
When I’m not out capturing a wedding, you’ll usually find me on one of my mini-adventures in the countryside with my wife, Lais, and our two daughters. I’m a real melting pot of cultures—I was born in Angola, soaked up the vibrant energy of Cuba (yep, my mum’s homeland), and later made my way to Portugal, where I even earned two masters degrees in microelectronics enginneering and in semiconductor engineering (nerd alert!). A job opportunity eventually brought me to the UK ten years ago, which I’ve proudly called home ever since.
I’m also a bit of a travel junkie with an undeniable soft spot for beach escapes — Mauritius and Cyprus are my top picks, though I’d love nothing more than to wake up by the ocean every day. When it’s time to unwind, you might catch me enjoying a brilliant cup of coffee and cake (it's a small indulgence I allow myself, ha), re-watching classics like Titanic or Top Gun, or curating a playlist that mixes today’s hits with some timeless traditional Angolan tunes and Afrobeats. And here’s a quirky tidbit: I can wiggle my ears one at a time. It’s not exactly a superpower, but it never fails to spark a smile — and maybe even a laugh — on your wedding day!
What Sets Me Apart?
I know you’ve got plenty of options for a wedding photographer, but here’s why I might just be a good match:
Communication is Everything. I believe in keeping things clear, honest, and friendly every step of the way—from our very first chat to your wedding day. I'm all about staying in sync so your vision truly comes to life—effortlessly.
All-in-One Service. I offer both photography and videography in one seamless package, taking one less worry off your plate. This way, you can focus on celebrating your love while I capture every epic moment from every angle.
Experience. I understand how every vendor plays their part on your big day, and I work in sync with them to keep everything running smoothly—so you can just relax and enjoy every epic moment. I've been capturing weddings for over 10 years and have shot over 300 celebrations, which means I've got the expertise to keep your day stress-free and unforgettable.
Planning Assistance. I don't just show up on your wedding day—I'm here to help with anything you need. From creating a photography timeline that captures every important moment without interrupting your celebration, to sharing tips and guidance along the way, I work with you to ensure your day runs as smoothly as possible.
Discreet. I know when to be right in the middle of the action and when to step back and let the magic happen. I capture every intimate moment without ever intruding. My aim is to be warm and approachable when needed, yet completely unobtrusive—ensuring that everyone can enjoy the occasion without feeling overwhelmed or uncomfortable.
What truly fuels my passion for wedding photography is the chance to visually tell a unique and authentic love story. No two weddings are alike, but I pour my heart into each one and give my all on the day. Those unplanned, spontaneous moments are the ones that make an album significantly more meaningful, even years later. I can't wait to hear all about your wedding plans and understand the kind of photos you're hoping for. After all, these are the memories you'll be looking back on and smiling about for years to come!
