Absolutely amazing experience! The photographer was very professional, friendly, and made me feel comfortable throughout the entire shoot. The photos turned out beautifully, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Highly recommend! 🤍
I booked this photoshoot last minute because my work trip to Lisbon was packed, but I’m SO glad I did! From the very beginning, Renan went above and beyond. He even recommended a better time for our photoshoot and I’m so glad I took his advice. I really appreciated his flexibility and willingness to work around my hectic schedule, even if that meant waking up super early! He was also very mindful about the time I had. I really wanted to capture the memories from my first trip to Portugal without the stress of navigating the city or trying to take photos of myself. Renan made the entire experience so easy, fun and comfortable, especially as a solo traveler. He was thoughtful, professional and genuinely cared about making sure I had a great experience. I will 100% be booking with Renan again the next time I’m in Portugal, hopefully with my family! I could not recommend this enough.
Renan was amazing to work with! This was our first experience doing a photoshoot, so we were nervous but Renan was easy to work with and made the experience fun and comfortable!
Renan was a wonderful photographer who made us feel comfortable from the very start. He took us to several beautiful spots around Lisbon, gave easy, natural direction, and even shared great recommendations about the city. I’d definitely recommend this photo shoot to anyone visiting the area.
My husband and I went to Lisbon for our 10 year anniversary. We haven't had professional photos taken since our wedding, so I thought this would be the perfect occasion. Renan was AMAZING! He was kind, put us at ease, and knew all of the perfect spots to take photos. We had so much fun during the session. His turnaround for the photo delivery was quick, and we received more photos than I was expecting. WOW! The photos perfectly captured our love (and silly side). Truly a priceless way to remember our trip. I highly recommend booking a session with Renan!
Renan was excellent. He was so patient, kind, and friendly throughout our entire experience. Really made sure that our pictures came out as natural and flawless as possible.
Loved the entire experience with Renan as well as the incredible photos!
We had such a great experience with Renan! From the beginning, he made Jana and me feel completely comfortable and made the entire photoshoot fun and relaxed. He also showed us around Lisbon along the way, which made the experience even better. We just received our photos and absolutely love how they turned out! He captured so many great moments and gave us memories from our trip that we’ll always have. If you’re looking for a photographer in Lisbon, we highly recommend Renan!
This is a fantastic excursion! Not only do you get to explore one of the most beautiful cities in the world, but you also get to work with an incredibly talented and fun photographer to guide you. I had a blast and absolutely adore my photos! Book with Renan!
There is no better way to capture your memories than in pictures. And that’s exactly what Renan did for me, the pictures came out absolute perfect beautiful. He captured exactly what I wanted from this shoot, which is the architecture and the history of Lisbon with me in it.
Renan was amazing at his craft and took his time with all pictures. 5/5 recommend him for any photos.
Take the time and spend the money to do this photographic experience! This was by far the best souvenir we acquired in Lisbon. Renan was kind, knowledgeable, patient and creative when capturing the best photo moments for me and my husband. Not only are we taking home great photos, but also a wonderful interaction with a local who made us feel welcome in his city. This was by far our best experience in Lisbon!
Renan was skilled, helpful, and professional. He helped me plan a surprise proposal for my girlfriend, including providing me with insights on the optimal timing and location, as well as providing alternative options. During the shoot, he provided clear instructions for angles, and was very helpful in carrying our extra baggage. He took us to various locations in Lisbon. There was not excessive walking. The photos turned out great and were easy to download (total 51 photos). Overall great experience.
If you’re considering a photo session in Lisbon, book Renan—you won’t regret it. This was my family’s first professional photo shoot together, and Renan made the entire experience feel effortless. From the very beginning, he created such a warm, welcoming atmosphere that we immediately felt comfortable. He was incredibly engaging and guided us naturally throughout the session, giving us helpful direction so we never felt awkward in front of the camera. What really stood out was his creativity. He carefully selected beautiful locations that matched the vibe we were hoping for and made every stop feel intentional. He was fully present with us the entire time, making the experience just as memorable as the photos themselves. When we received the final gallery, we were blown away. The editing was beautiful, the presentation was thoughtful, and every image captured genuine moments that we’ll cherish for the rest of our lives. Without question, this was one of the best investments we made during our trip to Portugal. The photos are a far more meaningful souvenir than anything we could have bought, and we’ll treasure them forever. Thank you, Renan, for giving our family such a special gift. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for an exceptional photographer in Lisbon.
Renan was absolutely amazing. He was patient, friendly, and genuinely cares about his art. My husband and I truly enjoyed working with him. He had wonderful ideas for candid shots. The photos came out stunning. Would 10/10 recommend!
I had an amazing experience with my photographer, Renan. The photos turned out absolutely beautiful, and he chose incredible locations that made them even more special. Along the way, he shared recommendations and showed me beautiful spots, making the experience feel much more personal than just a photoshoot. Renan is incredibly talented, professional, and a very mindful person. I’m honestly not someone who usually takes the time to write reviews, but I truly felt his talent and dedication deserved to be recognized. This experience was one of the highlights of my trip, and I would do it all over again. I highly recommend booking with him—you won’t regret it!
I booked a graduation photo session for my daughter with Renan on June 3, 2026. Five days before the session, I had to ask if we could change the date due to a TAP Air Portugal airline strike, which was completely out of our control. Renan was wonderful! He responded to my message right away and was able to find a new day that worked with our schedule. I truly appreciated his professionalism, kindness, and willingness to accommodate us. On the day of the photo shoot, he arrived on time and was incredibly personable. He took the time to introduce himself and explain what we would be doing during the session. Throughout the shoot, Renan guided my daughter with pose and movement suggestions that helped her feel comfortable and confident. His calm demeanor and encouragement allowed her to relax and truly enjoy the experience. As we walked through some of Lisbon’s most beautiful and iconic locations, Renan expertly worked with the morning sunlight to capture stunning images. We have just received the photos and are absolutely blown away by every single one of them! He captured not only beautiful portraits of my daughter but also the joy and memories of a fun morning together. Renan is a true artist, and his talent is remarkable. If you are visiting Lisbon and looking for a photographer, I cannot recommend him highly enough. A photo session with Renan is an experience you will treasure forever. .
Where yo begin Renan is so kind and patient and made our experience wonderful. He took us to great spots around Lisbon and gave us an enjoyable way to see the city. The photoshoot was for my best friends birthday and Renan made it so much fun for us and we made wonderful memories. Just got our photos and we look amazing and all because Renan is passionate about his work and this shines through in our photos. Book this experience if you can you won't regret it.
My sister and I had a fabulous time with Renan! He is a very talented photographer and a true professional. He made us feel so comfortable while taking photographs in amazing spots around Lisbon. We greatly enjoyed the experience and the photos are wonderful! Memories to cherish forever. I highly recommend!
I booked a last minute photo session with Renan through Viator between 1 and 2am for a 9am shoot the very same day, and I honestly wasn’t expecting much communication that early in the morning. To my surprise, when I messaged him between 7 and 8am to confirm the meeting location and time, he responded. From the start, Renan was professional, friendly, and easy to work with. He gave great posing directions throughout the session, which made everything feel natural and comfortable. Beyond photography, he also shared a little history about Lisbon, gave a mini tour during the shoot, and recommended restaurants to try. Most importantly, the pictures came out phenomenal! He truly captured my brief time in Lisbon beautifully. I would highly recommend Renan to anyone looking for a talented photographer in Lisbon!

Renan was an absolute lifesaver for our pre-wedding photoshoot. After our original wedding photographer had an emergency and had to cancel, I was so upset and stressed trying to find someone last minute. That’s how I found Renan and it turned out to be the best decision. He made us feel completely comfortable and natural in front of the camera, guiding us so well throughout the shoot. The photos turned out absolutely amazing and are such a special keepsake for us. We couldn’t be happier and would recommend him to anyone looking for a talented and thoughtful photographer.
One of the highlights of my trip to Lisbon was my photo session with Renan Chady. I booked the shoot hoping to capture a few memories from my visit, but the experience and the results exceeded my expectations. Renan was incredibly professional, friendly, and easy to work with. He immediately made me feel comfortable in front of the camera, which made the whole experience relaxed and enjoyable. He also knows Lisbon very well and chose beautiful locations that truly showcase the character of the city — the historic streets, the trams, and the stunning architecture. What I appreciated most was how natural everything felt. Renan guided me with simple directions so the photos didn’t feel staged, and his eye for light and composition is fantastic. The photos feel more like editorial travel photography than typical vacation pictures. I’m so happy to have these images from my time in Lisbon. If you're visiting Lisbon and want a unique experience that captures both you and the beauty of the city, this photoshoot is absolutely worth it. I would highly recommend booking a session with Renan. It was truly a wonderful experience and one of the best souvenirs from my trip.
Phenomenal experience and incredible value for what was listed online! Renan made our dreams come true! To be fair this was a surprise for my wife because of how hard she’s worked to get to where she is today. Being able to capture our love in Europe has always been a goal of mine, but I needed to find the right person and place. I trusted Renan and he nailed it. I’ve already told our family about Renan and I look forward to sharing our photos and experience. 60 minutes was well worth it and the perfect amount of time to capture everything we wanted! Thank you for making this trip memorable Renan!
It was a pleasure to meet and work with Renan. He kept the atmosphere so jolly and energetic throughout the shoot, even as we walked to higher routes on those cobble stones (haha). The pictures turned out amazing, and we'll cherish them for life. Thank you Renan!
Renan was absolutely fantastic!!! He was so warm and wonderful to shoot with. He really took his time and was so intentional about trying to create gorgeous memories around the city of Lisbon for us. He has such a great eye for photography. We are in love with our photos! We are a couple that traveled to Portugal for our honeymoon and decided to book a photo shoot to memorialize the sentimental occasion. We couldn’t have chosen a better photographer to create that for us. He didn’t just photograph us — he told our story. He captured our joy, our love, and the feeling of being in Lisbon together for the first time. If you are in Lisbon and looking to create memories with a talented photographer, that really knows the city well, do not think twice, absolutely book with him. You won’t regret it! Thank you Renan, you are forever a part of our honeymoon memories.
Renan is a professional photographer who began the session by sharing tips and tricks to help you feel relaxed and comfortable. He suggested several creative ways to capture photos with cinematic effects. Renan’s photography skills are outstanding, and he strives to get the best shots possible, creating memorable moments in Lisbon. I highly recommend Renan if you’re looking for an enjoyable photography experience and stunning photos in Lisbon.
Renan was wonderful. He made us feel comfortable and at ease during the photoshoot! The pictures turned out amazing! Thank you Renan for capturing memories of our visit to a beautiful city!
Great way too see the city and the bonus is the photos! Rannan was wonderful and very comforting. I was nervous about “modeling “ for pictures but he made the experience great. Will recommend to all my friends!!!!
Our experience with Renan was excellent. He is very friendly and professional. He was very efficient with our time, but did not rush. The photos were absolutely amazing. It elevated our experience in Lisbon. These are photos we will proudly display for many years to come. We would highly recommend booking with Renan.
Renan was awesome! He was very accommodating and friendly! He knew the shots and angles to take and gave great tips! The photos came out amazing!
5 stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Don’t even second guess book this Renan today! While celebrating our 5th wedding anniversary in Portugal, we wanted to capture the moment in a way that felt timeless. That’s when we connected with Renan, a local photographer in Lisbon, and I’m so glad we did. From the moment we reached out, he was professional, flexible, and so thoughtful—making sure we felt comfortable every step of the way. He guided us through the city, helped us with directions, adjusted to our schedule, and captured us so beautifully against Lisbon’s backdrop. What touched me most was his integrity and kindness after the shoot—he realized he had accidentally kept my sunglasses and personally arranged a courier the next morning to deliver them back to our hotel, at no cost. That small act showed his character in such a big way. Renan didn’t just give us photos, he gave us an experience—one that became part of the beauty of our anniversary trip. If you’re ever in Lisbon and want photos full of authenticity and joy, I can’t recommend him enough.s
Renan is an amazing photographer. He was quick to respond on WhatsApp and gave us many recommendations for things to do in Lisbon. We will treasure these photos for the rest of our lives.
We had so much fun with Renan. It felt like we were hanging out with a good friend. We were with him for an hour and it felt like 5 minutes. Both my husband and I are camera shy and Renan was able to make us feel comfortable right away. We were only available for the photoshoot at the end of the afternoon and even if downtown was busy at that time of day and the light wasn't always in our favour, Renan was able to make it work in the best possible way for us and we couldn't be more happy with the result. We received the photos in just a few days and I personally really appreciate that they're not overly edited. These memories really represent us and I'm looking forward to cherish them for the years to come! Muito obrigada Renan!
Renan was wonderful! He was patient and shared his favorite spots while making my family of 7 feel comfortable and at ease in front of the camera
We were very happy with our experience with Renan. He is a very talented photographer who knew how to capture our family’s special moments while also bringing out the beauty of Lisbon. He was punctual, good at taking input from us in terms of the kinds of photos we wanted (candid vs posed), and very engaging with our young kids. He even helped push our stroller around and gave us recommendations for family friendly activities. We were also very pleased with the quality of the photos after we received them. The lighting was excellent and Renan chose very picturesque locations that turned out great! Overall, we thought this was a great way to see the older parts of the city and make special memories!
I booked a solo photoshoot with Renan in Lisbon and had a great experience. From the start, he was very warm and friendly, which immediately made me feel comfortable. He took the time to understand my goals for the shoot and was always receptive to my input. It just made me feel part of the process. I also loved his editing style because it wasn't overdone and seemed natural. Renan was also just fun to talk to and after the session, he sent some recommendations for restaurants. Definitely try to get a hold of him if you're in Lisbon!
So absolutely thrilled with the photos taken while we were in Lisbon. The photo shoot was for my daughter's senior pictures. His professionalism, skill, and easy-to-work-with personality made it a lifetime keepsake of memories and treasured photos.
Thank you Renan! We had so much fun with you. We have seen many beautiful places in Lisbon. We decided to start really early - and we hate it to wake up at this time, but with your amazing positiv energy you gived us a great time and big smiles! The results are perfect! The photos are even better than we expect. We fell in love with them! I would recommend to book a shooting with Renan to everyone, who visit Lisbon! Thank you so much!
Renan is truly such a sweet and kind person. From the moment we met him, he was incredibly warm, welcoming, and friendly, which immediately put us at ease. He has a natural ability to guide and direct poses in a way that feels effortless and comfortable, even if you’re not used to being in front of the camera. Throughout the entire session, he made us feel confident and relaxed, which really shows in the photos. The final pictures turned out absolutely stunning—cinematic, artistic, and straight out of a movie. Every shot looked so polished and magical, like we were the main characters of our own story. Beyond his talent, what stood out most was the way he cared about capturing our personalities and emotions in the most authentic way. Renan isn’t just a photographer—he’s a storyteller, and working with him was a wonderful experience we’ll never forget.
I had an amazing experience doing a travel photoshoot with Renan. From the start, I felt completely comfortable; it was relaxed and fun, and it really showed in the photos. Renan captured the city and the moments beautifully, with a perfect mix of candid and posed shots. The turnaround time was impressively quick! I couldn’t be happier with the final images. Highly recommend for anyone wanting gorgeous photos and a memorable experience in Lisbon!
What a fantastic experience! Doing a solo photoshoot was totally out of my comfort zone, but Renan put me at ease, and we had a lot of fun walking around Lisbon. The photos all came out great, and they were ready just a few days after the shoot. Thank you for capturing this special 40th birthday solo trip and for making me feel glamorous on the streets of Lisbon, Renan!
If you’re looking for a cinematic photographic experience of a lifetime, then look no further. Renan is your man in Lisbon! Renan was so accommodating, he worked with us to make adjustments to our schedule and even reversed the order of the visit so that we can end closer to the location of the restaurant that we have our dinner reservation at. We were nervous and not sure what to expect. Renan put us at ease right away - he formed an instant camaraderie with my daughter (a 15 year old teenager) and myself (a 43 year old dad). He helped us with getting our poses right, was reassuring at all times and carried out his craft with the speed needed to capture the precious micro moments that so many photographers miss out on. We met as strangers and parted as friends. Less than a week later, we had the most stunning father-daughter pictures we could have ever hoped for. Those pictures serve as a poignant reminder of the wonderful time we shared in Lisbon and, for that, we will always remain indebted to Renan. If you’re looking for photographic perfection from a photographer that is warm, friendly and genuinely caring, then book your session with Renan right away! You won’t regret it.
We had the most incredible experience with Renan during our extended family shoot in Comporta! Managing 14 people—including 6 energetic kids—is no easy feat, but they made it feel effortless, fun, and truly special. The photos are absolutely stunning and capture the warmth and joy of our time together. Highly recommend for any family looking to preserve beautiful memories!
I booked a last minute solo travel shoot with Renan on my last day in Lisbon. My friends had left a few days before me and as I walked around the city, I saw so many beautiful sites and areas … he was a responsive and had great review so I booked him. It is top tier experience. He provided direction during the photo shoot and was kind and patient. It was a particularly hot day and with all the walking I needed to stop a few times to use my powder press to make sure my skin wasn’t shiny in the pictures. He didn’t mind. It was photo shoot part tour with someone who lives in the city. I have friends traveling to Lisbon in a few weeks and I’ve already recommended him to them and another group traveling in November and the same. And not to mention, the images are beautiful❤️🔥❤️🔥
I've done a lot of photography sessions throughout my travels, but this one with Renan will always stand out as the most memorable. His energy is so pure, his heart is genuine, and he connects with you on such a real, human level. I felt seen, valued, and completely at ease - and I know that energy is going to shine through in the photos. As we walked, we shared stories and learned about each other's cultures — and that's when I knew he truly cared about me as a person. He wanted me to shine in the photos, not just as a subject, but as a human. That kind of intention is rare. Renan doesn't just take pictures — he creates an experience. He gives you space to soak in the beauty of Lisbon while guiding you through stunning viewpoints, charming corners, and picturesque neighborhoods. It was so much more than a photo shoot. I enjoyed this experience more than I can even explain. Thank you SO much, Renan! I truly wish you all the best with your incredible talent and your amazing spirit.
We had a great time at our photo shoot. He was very accommodating with our baby and was super friendly and nice. I would highly recommend a session!
We truly enjoyed this photo shoot and the entire experience. Renan was really friendly and made us feel comfortable throughout. He captured some special moments and the unique atmosphere of the day. The photos turned out absolutely lovely and we are so grateful to have these memories from Lisboa to look back on. 100% recommended!!
Renan was so personable and made the photo shoot so enjoyable and easy! My entire family loved the photos, including two teenage girls who are hard to please when it comes to taking photos 🤣
I had the best session with Renan. He was very kind, patient, and talented! I loved my photos. He delivered them in a timely manner and even shared recommendations for restaurants after the session. This session was for my birthday and I have beautiful memories forever. Thank you Renan!
