Top 5 
14 years Resilient and positive, with over 14 years of experience in wedding photography, I define my work as timeless, classic, and romantic. Photography, for me, is more than capturing moments,it’s about preserving a legacy. Each image becomes a frozen moment in time, a memory that will pass through generations, carrying the essence of love and connection. In this way, my work transcends my own existence, living on across time and across the world, in the lives and hearts of those I have had the honor to photograph.

Ivo was amazing! The shoot was easy, fun, relaxed. He went above and beyond and made our kid feel special and involved. He is a delight and the photos are stunning. All of them. Incredible. Absolutely recommend Ivo and will make sure to take new pictures with him when we come back to Porto. Thank you Ivo, you’re the best!!
Ivo, Vanessa, and the entire Momento Cativo team were an absolute dream to work with! Ivo helped us feel calm and comfortable in front of the camera, and Vanessa is a magician with her editing. We are so thrilled with our photos and their ability to capture moments, both big and small. We invested in a second shooter which was well worth it and gave us so many amazing photos of our guests. We were blown away by the number of images included in our final gallery as well. Our wedding day was a blur but thanks to Momento Cativo we have gorgeous memories that we’ll cherish forever. We cannot recommend them enough. Thank you!!
Ivo and Vanessa are a dream to work with through and through. Ivo is talented and so warm and kind. We had our second wedding (an elopement in my home country of Portugal) we live in Australia, they were so easy to organise and plan with and everything went perfectly. The photos speak for themselves. If I ever needed a photographer again for a big life event, Ivo would be at the top of my list! Thank you both. Love Johanna & Adrian.
Momento Cativo was absolutely amazing to work with! They got every picture we asked for and more! It was like we were reliving our wedding day when we went through all of the photos. They didn’t miss a moment. They were so kind and kept us so calm through out the day. We felt like it was all so natural and we were able to enjoy every moment even when taking photos. The team’s passion for their work is clear and the quality of the pictures show it. We can’t thank them enough for capturing the best night of our life and giving us moments we will always be able to remember! We can’t wait to use all of the beautiful pictures.
We hired Ivo and his team for our wedding in Sintra in September 2024, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience and results!
Ivo was incredibly kind and made us feel at ease. He and his team captured every meaningful moment and detail with such care and attention. We now have stunning photos not only of ourselves as bride and groom but also of all our guests throughout the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and even crazy and beautiful photos on the dance floor!
Despite being one of the last weddings of the season during a very busy summer, Momento Cativo still managed to deliver our photos before the end of the year, allowing us to relive all these magical moments.
We highly recommend Momento Cativo for their exceptional work, genuine kindness, and undeniable passion for what they do. Thank you, Ivo and team, for creating such beautiful memories that we will cherish forever!

Vanessa & Ivo are the absolute best! They were able to capture every detail of my husband and my wedding! They are both such lovely people and really made us feel safe and comfortable throughout; highly recommend!
We recently had the pleasure of working with Ivo for a photo shoot, and we couldn’t be happier with the results! Ivo’s creativity and attention to detail was executed well in every shot. He made the whole experience fun and comfortable, and his professionalism was evident from start to finish. The final images exceeded our expectations, capturing the essence of our proposal beautifully. I highly recommend Ivo to anyone looking for stunning, high-quality photography in Porto!
Ivo was brilliant. We loved the pictures , he perfectly captured us and the location. We are so happy we decided to work with him. Very professional and easy to work with. Goes above and beyond.
Ivo and Vanessa are AMAZING. Ivo photographed our wedding and words can't describe how beautifully he captured our special day. From start to finish, the team was professional, kind and really listened to what we wanted. I highly recommend working with them!
We had an AMAZING experience! My fiancé and I got engaged during our photo shoot and Ivo made sure things all went so smoothly. He captured such a special moment perfectly! Without him, we would NOT have found such a beautiful location. He is truly a professional, not to mention, so kind!
