Maya and Miguel were absolutely wonderful! Our family photos in Lisbon turned out amazing. I especially loved that they captured natural, candid moments rather than a bunch of posed photos. They made the entire experience feel relaxed and fun, and they were such great conversationalists that it felt like exploring the city with friends. They also guided us through the beautiful streets of Lisbon, finding incredible photo spots away from the crowds that we never would have discovered on our own. The photos captured not only our family but also the charm and beauty of Lisbon. We are so happy with how everything turned out and would highly recommend Maya and Miguel to anyone looking for a fun, authentic, and memorable photography experience!

We had a wonderful morning photo shoot with Maya and Miguel. We really enjoyed learning about Lisbon and Portugal as it was our first time. They were so warm and kind. It was so informative and fun. Even after our tour they reached out to share suggestions for meals and sight seeing. It’s fun to have family photos to remember our time. The photos are lovely. It’s a great memento. Highly recommend for a tour or photo session. We really had a great experience.
We did a family photo session in Lisbon with Maya and Miguel and had a wonderful experience. They took us down quiet streets to capture the charm of the city without the crowds, and were very patient with our kids, especially our 5 year old who was not the most cooperative. The photos turned out great and we even got some of their local tips for things to see during the rest of our time in Lisbon!
Our family photo session in Lisbon with Maya and Miguel was incredible from start to finish. They were professional yet down-to-earth and engaging so the shoot felt like a casual walk through the city. They were wonderful with our five-year-old, making the shoot fun and effortless for her too. The final photos are beautiful keepsakes from a day we’ll always remember.
Great experience with Maya and Miguel! They took great photos in spots that perfectly showcased Lisbon. Highly recommended!
Maya and Miguel were both professional and kind. Very easy to organize with and flexible both. They were also very accommodating to our specfic needs. We just did the Photoshoot today and are already impressed with the quality and we've only seen sneak peeks. Organized such a beautiful location. Big thank you to both, highly recommended by me and my family. Im so happy we chose them to go with.
This was a wonderful experience, both Maya and Miguel were such a pleasure to work with! They have a great eye for pictures, and will make your trip to Lisbon memorable! Definitely book with them (:
We were visiting Lisbon and wanted some family pictures. Maya has been amazing throughout. She patiently answered all my questions, even gave us some great suggestions for local travel, etc. She has also been very professional, yet warm and friendly. We went through a few spots in Lisbon and got some wonderful photos. We also had a 3yr old, and Maya was understanding and made us very comfortable throughout. Our pics were also sent to us in a timely manner. We are in love with the pics!! Thanks to Maya, we now have beautiful memories captured in picturesque Lisbon 💖
We had an amazing photo shoot with Miguel, and Maya. They also give us a tour and class on the great history of the area. I recommend that you use them if you are in country.
We wanted some special memories of my inlaws' 50th wedding anniversary spent in Portugal with our whole family.. We are so glad we found Pictours Lisbon!! Maya was fantastic and our photos turned out absolutely beautiful. We had so much fun at the shoot! Highly recommended 👍
We had an amazing family photoshoot with Maya & Miguel! We have two young sons so it was not easy to capture but they did an amazing job and we are so happy with the way the photos turned out! By far the best photos we have had done and we’re so grateful! They suggested such nice locations as well.
Maya and Miguel were fantastic. They were wonderful in helping to make our visions of the photo shoot into a reality. We had a lot of fun during our session and the touched up pictures came out beautiful. We would highly recommend Maya and Miguel for creative and fun couples photography!
We were delighted with this service from start to finish. We had a 5 month old baby and Maya was very understanding and accommodating with her naps! They also have children of their own so they know how to deal with them. The shoot itself was very relaxed and we were put at ease straight away. We were blown away by the quality of the photos when they came 3 weeks later! Thank you so much guys - they're memories we will have forever from our time in Cascais ❤️
We recently traveled to Portugal to get engaged and celebrate. It was our first time in the country and we wanted something special to commemorate it. We found Maya and Miguel and booked them for a shoot. They showed us an incredible time in Lisbon! We have never had professional photos taken and they made the entire process easy and fun. Our photos turned out absolutely gorgeous, we have several blown up and printed on canvas around our home. Not only did they take dozens of beautiful photographs, they showed us little sections of Lisbon that we didn’t know about and gave us recommendations for other places to visit and restaurants to eat at. Could not recommend them more. If you are heading to Lisbon, it is an absolute must to hire these two. We cannot wait to go back!
Such a fun short time with the photographer. They knew all the spots and even brought their puppy! Looking forward to the photos!
Maya and Miguel were AMAZING before and during my proposal to my now fiancé. The organisation and personal touch provided was next level. When i knew i wanted to propose to my partner in Lisbon, i reached out to Maya and we had a video call or two where she talked me through various options and locations we agreed on a boat. She even helped liaise with the boat company and talked me through what i'd like to do on the day. It was so reassuring considering i didn't know Lisbon very well. The pictures and filming that were taken during the surprise proposal were incredible. To be able to have these memories captured in so many lovely photos and on video is such a blessing. I couldn't recommend Miguel and Maya more highly. Thank you again!
Maya and Miguel's Christmas holiday photoshoot was an absolute delight, thanks to their exceptional talent. Their willingness to accommodate our preferences, from offering flexibility in location to providing guidance on attire colors, made the entire process smooth and enjoyable. With their warmth and expertise, they effortlessly captured the essence of our family, resulting in breathtaking photographs that truly encapsulated the holiday spirit. I highly recommend their services and eagerly look forward to future collaborations. Thank you, Maya and Miguel, for preserving these precious memories!
Had a group of 7 us and hired Maya & Miguel for a photo shoot in downtown Lisbon. Having spent the previous day touring Sintra we just wanted something light near our AirBnb. Our only regret was not having them hired for our previous day in Sintra. (We had already booked a tour when we found them) They took the time talked about various points of interest around Lisbon and made sure we got some very unique photos that we would’ve never got on our own. My favorite is the one with the trolley car attached to this review. All pictures were received a couple weeks later and all were by far print and frame quality. A fantastic personalized photo shoot that capped off a wonderful trip to Lisbon. Highly recommend you will not be disappointed!
We decided on getting some nice family pictures for our Christmas card. The experience was fantastic!! Maya and Miguel are super nice, easy going, and understand what you want. The pictures were perfect! We definitively want to repeat the experience next year.
We booked our engagement photo shoot with Maya and Miguel and were so happy with the experience! They were lovely to work with :)
Maya and Miguel were amazing! They made us feel very comfortable and not at all awkward, especially since we were taking pictures in the middle of Lisbon with tons of tourists around. Looking forward to the pictures! The ones we saw were already amazing. Highly recommend.
This was such a wonderful, enjoyable way to get to know Lisbon... and have amazing photos to remember it by! Miguel and Maya will tell you many fascinating stories about Portugal, while also capturing beautiful images. Our time with them is definitely a highlight of our visit to Lisbon!
We did a maternity shoot during a babymoon trip to Lisbon with Maya and Miguel and had a wonderful experience. They were easy to communicate with and put us at ease. They work really well as a pair and most importantly took some gorgeous photos of us while teaching us a bit about Portugal and showing us around a beautiful city. Would recommend booking them! You won’t regret it.
Maya did our shoot with our family with my husband, I and two children 3 and 1. She did a great job in guiding us all, especially the young kids. She chose the most beautiful and simple back drops for our photos that we will hold onto forever! I couldn’t believe how well she captured the kids in the photos, which is not an easy feat! I would love to work with her again when we return one day to Lisbon.
Maya was wonderful to work with. She always followed up and was available for communication. We did a family photo shoot in Lisbon. Maya was on time, and sent us the photos within the promised time frame and the photos turned out beautiful. I would highly recommend Maya for your photoshoot in Lisbon.
Maya and Miguel were AMAZING! They are so talented and kind. It felt like we became instant friends, and they artfully guided us through the most beautiful town as they took stunning pictures of our family for my Mom's birthday. They knew how to get the best photograph with each of us, and we now have such a meaningful and beautiful way to remember such a special time together. I cannot recommend them enough. If you're even thinking about it- just book a session with them. You will not regret it.
Beautiful pictures with beautiful views We had some advices from the photographer to have beautiful pictures I advice you this activity if you need to capture important moments !
We really enjoyed having Maya and her sweet husband capture our family’s moments in Lisbon. They found the perfect spots, were patient with our kids, and provided the final photos very quickly. We are very happy with our captured memories.
My girlfriend and I visited europe for our first time so I thought there was no better and more romantic place to decide to propose to her. I found Mya and Miguel randomly through a facebook search of photographers. I contacted them and we exchanged messages thru whatsapp. She was very responsive compared to other photographers i spoke to which gave me confidence that everything will go smoothly. She recommended the spot which was perfect! I greatly appreciated her and her husband’s effort in capturing this special moment for us. Thank you!!
We did a maternity photo shoot with Maya and Miguel at Guincho Beach. Maya was very communicative from the beginning and provided helpful advice on when/where and what to wear. Maya and Miguel are not only excellent photographers but also great tour guides, making us feel welcomed and comfortable. And we really appreciated Miguel taking the time to show us a few locations in Cascais afterwards. We received photos about a week later and they turned out wonderfully. Thanks for the fantastic experience.
We carried out the photo session with our 3 year old son and they managed to adapt the experience so that it was very pleasant. From the photographic professionalism they demonstrate to the friendly, relaxed and cheerful way in which they dealt with us and our little one, which made it a beautiful session. We highly recommend it!
