About

Welcome to Rita Santana Photography! I'm Rita, a passionate wedding and lifestyle photographer based in Palmela, Setúbal, Portugal. From the sunlit beaches of Portugal to the grand halls of historic venues, I capture the beauty and joy of your most cherished moments with a touch of authenticity and a lot of heart.

My photography journey started as a young girl, tucked away in my aunt's shop, surrounded by film rolls and the magic of captured memories. Today, I bring that childhood wonder into every photoshoot, combining a documentary style with the vibrant beauty of art to tell your unique story. My goal is to create images that are not just beautiful but also deeply personal and evocative, reflecting your special day's spontaneity and profound uniqueness.

What sets Rita Santana Photography apart is my dedication to making you feel comfortable and relaxed, ensuring your photos are effortless and authentic. Whether it's a light-hearted joke to ease the nerves or a creative prompt to bring out your genuine smiles, I'm committed to capturing the real you. My clients often say that working with me feels like being with a friend who genuinely cares about making their day unforgettable.

I believe in the power of love, family, and the little sparks that make life extraordinary. Each wedding, engagement, or family session is an opportunity to create lasting memories you'll treasure for years. From the stunning gardens of Solar do Paço in Algarve to intimate elopements at Cabo da Roca, my photography brings out the best in every location and every moment.

Ready to embark on this photographic adventure together? Let's capture the moments that make your love story truly yours. Reach out today to start planning your dream photoshoot.

Your story is art. Let me help you tell it.

Rita captured our special day perfectly!

Planning a wedding across the world, we needed to find the right place and the right people to be there for our wedding. We fell in love with Rita's work when she got recommended by the hotel and we got lucky to be able to meet with her to make her decision.
She was always super available for any questions or recommendation. It was great she knew the region so well, she brought us to lovely places for our engagement photo shoot.
She made us feel very comfortable. And she really did her best to make our day so special, she was a real helper on the day, going the extra mile to ensure everything was perfect while we were getting ready.
We love our photos! We highly recommend Rita!
