Couples
Photographer in Lisbon, Cascais, Sintra

Romantic photos for the two of you without any stress. Gentle tips for authentic and lively shots

Couples Photographer

This page is all about couples – in love, on a journey, or just enjoying time together. Whether it's your honeymoon, anniversary, a trip together, or simply a memory you want to keep – this is for you.

My approach is simple: no pressure, no stiff posing. Just you two, your connection, and the way you are together. We'll walk, laugh, maybe dance a little – and I'll catch the real stuff. The quiet smiles, the closeness, the sparks between you.

The photo shoot is relaxed and personal. We choose the vibe together – city streets, ocean cliffs, quiet nature, or cozy corners. Wherever we go, I'll help you feel at ease, so your photos stay honest, warm, and true to who you are.

About me Dimas Frolov

Dimas Frolov Profile photo (small)

Hey, I'm Dimas, a professional photographer. I have over 19 years of experience in photography, working with couples in different countries and travel destinations.

Today, I focus on couple sessions in Lisbon, combining long-term professional experience with a fresh, attentive approach to the city.

Working in Lisbon means planning each session carefully, paying close attention to light, timing, and how couples feel in real environments, not studio setups.

Most couples I work with are not models, and my experience allows me to guide them calmly through the session, regardless of location.

    Dimas is a professional! He knows the proposed locations like the back of his hand. With him, you don't have to worry about anything: he directs himself, gives advice – that's what experience means! Even the most shy couple, unaccustomed to photoshoots (that is, us), felt completely at ease. Working with Dima throughout the shoot was easy and fun. We are 100% satisfied with the result of the photos! The photo editing is amazing!

    We had an enjoyable photo session with Dimas. I am not a photogenic person and somehow get a little nervous when I see the camera. Dimas was very professional and a real artist. He learnt our face; put us at ease and taught us how to pose to look perfect. We turned out had a lot of fun during the photo shooting. Thanks again Dimas!

    This is our first time doing a photo shoot and it was clear we do not know what to expect or what to do. However when you have a photographer who can put your at ease with his jokes, direct you and tell you what you need to do, give advises and input without sounding condescending or pushy, then clearly you have a winner here and his name is Dimas. From the beginning to the end, Dimas brought us to many different and beautiful locations and we were not only amazed by the view, but we are also… amazed by how well he managed to bring all the shots to life. We were waiting anxiously for the pictures and he did not disappoint. We are so happy over it! If you are looking for photoshoots, be it, pre-wedding, wedding or personal, etc. he's THE MAN you should go to!

    The photoshoot with Dimas flew by in the blink of an eye. He is a wonderful conversationalist and a professional in his field. It is clearly felt that this person puts his soul into his favorite work. Be sure, you will definitely like yourself in his photos because he will choose the angle that suits you, suggest how to pose correctly, and how many degrees to smile) We received our photos earlier than promised and were incredibly satisfied) We were very pleased with the individual album with… the ability to adjust the visibility of photos independently, and then simply share the link and access code with our friends. Thank you so much Dimas, for your work! We will recommend you to our friends :)

    Having my vacation memories captured was truly unforgettable – and I couldn't have asked for a better photographer than Dimas! ❤️ The photos were fabulous, beautiful, and full of soul. Before booking my session, I carefully went through his portfolio and absolutely loved his style. He was also incredibly responsive and helpful in answering all my questions about the shoot beforehand, which made the whole experience feel very smooth and professional. When we finally met in person, he was… incredibly warm and welcoming. He made me feel at ease right away, and even though I'm not a model, he helped me feel confident in front of the camera. Every shot felt relaxed and natural – and the results turned out like something straight out of a magazine. If you ever visit, book a session with Dimas. I'm not kidding – this man will capture your angles, your aura, your ✨soul✨. You'll get photos so good, you'll question if you've secretly been a Vogue cover girl all along.

    We had a lot of fun having our pictures taken by Dimas. He took us to three different locations, each beautiful and unique in its own way. Even though one of the beach was quite crowded, the pictures still come out like we are in our own little paradise. The price he charges is very reasonable, considering he only charges for the photoshoot and not the transit. Would definitely recommend that you contact him to get some gorgeous pictures!

    We chose Dimas for our engagement shoot while on vacation, mostly based on reviews. Reviews were spot on – we absolutely loved both our experience on the day of shooting and our pictures! He is very easy-going, guided us while still allowing for spontaneity and natural photos, and we loved his perspective/angles. Absolutely recommend him.

    I would like to sincerely thank Dimas Frolov, who organized an unforgettable, magical, and the most vivid photoshoot for us! Working with Dima was a pleasure, he was cheerful, very open, helped us, and gave us all the tips. Today we received the long-awaited photos and are just thrilled!!! The photos are incredibly lively, the editing is top-notch! Dima, thank you so much!!! Indeed, we chose the best photographer! Wish you success and thousands of satisfied clients :)

    I chose a photographer for the love story well in advance, reviewed many portfolios (including Dima's portfolio – one of the first), but still did not find a single photographer who could convey the special atmosphere of the tropics and a paradise island as naturally, effortlessly, brightly, and colorfully. My husband and I have been to tropical islands many times, but Dima managed to surprise us and showed us the most beautiful location – a beach where the photoshoot took place. It was our… first photo shoot in life, we were very shy (since we are introverts in life and do not like to pose and attract attention) – but Dima was able to cheer us up, relax us, and ultimately create an atmosphere of ease and adventure that all embarrassment and tension disappeared as if by magic. The photos turned out very vivid, natural, sincere, and kind, without pretentious pathos and unnatural poses (I admit, I was most afraid of this when I thought about the upcoming photoshoot, as I cannot stand falseness and posing). The processing in natural tones allows you to truly immerse yourself in memories of that day and say "Yes, that's how it was!", while Dima thoughtfully and very skillfully corrected any flaws in appearance, for which I thank him separately as a person who does not like to be photographed and how he usually turns out in photos. Result: a truly memorable photoshoot, beautiful photos, and an excellent professional photographer who knows how to find an approach to you and make sure you will like the result. Dima, thank you very much and see you again! With warm memories, Diana and Artem

Most common questions about photo shoots

I'm based in Lisbon, Portugal, but I travel for shoots – around Lisbon (Sintra, Cascais, Setúbal) and to other cities across Portugal and even abroad in Europe.
It's a mix – mostly light, documentary-style moments blended with guided, staged shots. I give direction when needed, suggest places and actions, then let people live the moment. That's how you get photos that feel real, relaxed, and not forced.

In Lisbon center – sunrise, almost no tourists. Beaches or parks are more flexible; you can shoot almost any time there.

A few helpful articles in my blog:

I offer several packages. One hour usually covers most sessions. For more outfits or wider locations, 1.5 hours is better. Two hours is the most relaxed option with lots of advantages.

Detailed packages you can see here: Rates for photography services.

Light or pastel colors, smart casual. Comfortable shoes are a must. Bring hats, scarves, and sunglasses – small things that change the mood.
One outfit is enough because I focus on you and your connection. If you want variety, keep it to 2–3 max.
That's my job – I guide you with simple actions and light direction so you feel comfortable. The result looks alive and natural.
Yes, if you allow me to publish your photos in my portfolio and on my social media. The discount amount and final price can be found on my pricing page.
I don't hard-cap the number. I deliver almost every good shot and remove only blinks, blurs, and misses. Minimum guarantee: 25 photos in the smallest package; larger packages include a lot more.
Usually within a couple of weeks. Absolute deadline: 3 weeks.
After editing, you will receive an online gallery where you can view your photos on any device, download them in high resolution, and easily share them with friends and family.
Bring a good mood and be on time – I handle the rest. If you have specific poses or angles, save examples on your phone and we'll recreate them.
Nikon Z6 III with a Nikon Z6 II as backup/second body. Both write to two cards simultaneously. Files go to a backed-up drive and then to the cloud during editing. Mostly natural light; flash if needed. Lenses: 35, 50, 85mm primes; 15–30, 70–200 zooms; 90mm macro.
We can try to move the date. If we do, the booking service is applied to the new date. If the shoot is called off, the booking service is not returned: it paid for holding your date, and that was done the moment I reserved it.

Lisbon loves lovers. So do I Couples Photoshoot in Lisbon

A love story or couples photo shoot is more than just creating photos; it's a way to show how two people actually feel about each other. Many couples choose Lisbon for this experience because of its warm light, cinematic atmosphere, and unique textures. Whether you're here for a trip or celebrating something special, a couple photoshoot in Lisbon blends natural beauty with heartfelt moments. If you're looking for a couples photographer in Lisbon, you're already on the right track.

Who Is It For

Couple sessions don't need a special occasion. They're perfect for honeymoons, anniversaries, travels together, or even "just because." If you're new to love each other or have been together for years, the camera can show how you two feel. You don't have to be a model or feel comfortable in front of a camera. I work with couples of all ages and levels of expertise. Photos from your honeymoon in Lisbon or an anniversary session will last forever. Couples travel photography is about preserving what you feel, not how you pose.

How the Session Goes

The session is calm, simple, and real. No stiff posing, just natural couple photography based on how you interact. We walk, talk, and laugh. I gently guide you, but most of the time, I just watch the way you connect. A relaxed photo session means no pressure. The goal is to capture candid moments, not performances. Everything is done in soft, natural light that brings out real emotion and mood.

Best Lisbon Locations for a Couples Photoshoot

Lisbon offers a mix of city charm and nature. Alfama and Graça are old neighborhoods with winding streets and poetic shadows. Senhora do Monte and other Miradouros are great places to see the sunrise and take in the view. For a beach vibe, Praia do Guincho has big waves and clear skies. Portraits with a classic Lisbon feel look great against azulejos, Lisbon's brightly coloured tiles. For something calmer, nearby parks offer a cozy, green setting. If you're wondering where to take your couple photos, I'll help you find the right spot.

What You'll Get

After the shoot, you'll receive a curated gallery of ready-to-share photos. Everything is delivered online in high resolution – easy to view, download, and send to family or friends. These aren't just images – they're emotional couple portraits you'll keep coming back to. Your couples photo gallery from Lisbon becomes more than a collection. It's a story told through glances, touches, and the city's light.

Photographer's Tips

Keep it simple. Wear something comfortable that reflects your personality. Neutral colors or tones that go well together always work best. The best time for a photo session in Lisbon is early morning or during golden hour before sunset – the light is soft and flattering. If you feel a bit awkward, that's okay. I'll help you ease into it. You don't have to perform – just show up as you are.

Time to Capture Your Story

Cities change, seasons shift, and memories fade – but photos let you hold on to how it felt. A photo session is a way to freeze a piece of your love story, just the way it is right now. Not perfect, not staged – just real. When you look back, it's the small gestures and quiet moments that will matter. Maybe this is your moment to save something beautiful.
