Hi, I'm Clara, a wedding photographer
based in sunny Portugal, with a love for vibrant, natural photography and 35mm film.

I adore color, no beige or neutral-only photos here. Your day is full of life, and I want your images to feel just as alive, nostalgic, and full of emotion.

I got married myself in May 2025, so I know firsthand the excitement and emotions of this special day. I moved to the Algarve in 2021 and couldn’t be happier to spend my life by the coast.

The little things make me happy: sunrise dog walks with my poodle Lotte, ocean sparkle, breakfast in the sun, time with family and friends, and my analogue point-and-shoot camera. I became a photographer out of love for light, joy, and capturing moments that last forever.

On your wedding day, I’ll be by your side as your photographer, your friend, a calm presence, capturing real, unscripted moments. No awkward poses, no forced smiles, just you, being yourselves with a little guidance when needed.

I love to travel across Portugal, so wherever your wedding takes place in this beautiful country, I’ll be there to capture your lovestory.

Your love deserves photos that feel personal, heartfelt, and timeless, full of color & joy.
Let’s make some special memories together?

Clara Sell
