Still have questions?
What is the delivery time for the photos? +
You'll get the link with the final edited photos by email, usually within one to two weeks after the session.
What should I wear? +
Warm clothes and closed shoes — even in summer, nights in Alentejo cool down a lot after sunset. You don't need to bring anything else, all the photography equipment is provided.
Can it be just one person, or does it have to be a couple? +
It can be just one person or a couple — the session price (160€) is the same for up to 2 people.
What happens if the weather is bad? +
If conditions don't allow the session, you can always reschedule for another night or get a full refund — you never lose what you paid.
Are the photos only for personal use? +
The photos are for personal use, including social media. For commercial use, contact us before booking.
