Looking for a Professional Vacation Photographer?
So, have you ever thought of getting a Professional Vacation Photographer?
You have come to the right place. This article is for you.
Hi, I’m Hugo, and this is an article from my web page, dedicated exclusively to you, who is on vacation in the Azores Islands and wants to capture those astonishing photos while traveling to São Miguel Island.
More than that, to have a private tour guide with you that can show you those idyllic places, explaining our culture, nature, and the story of these volcano islands.
As an experienced destination photographer, I get what you are looking for and even more, I know the places that make you not only look amazing with the Azorean nature as a background, but also for you to experience what this island has to offer.
I am talking about Lakes, Volcanos, Beaches, and Forests, I am talking about in many cases, untouched nature, where you can use your 5 senses to feel it all. And on top of that, would it be great to be oriented by a holiday photographer?
Whether you are single, a couple about to propose, or a nice family, I’ve got you covered. I help you pose to the camera, while we talk in a very relaxed way about the Azores island’s landscape and culture. It is a mixture of history, biology, and volcanology, of course, for you to have a holiday photographer just for you. :)

When arriving at Ponta Delgada Airport you get that sudden feeling of pure and fresh air, combined with the high humidity. You know it, you saw the pictures on the internet of San Miguel island, and you are excited to explore the wonders of this island.
“You want to be there”
You have checked Instagram and you want to be in the same places, as those people were. But, 2 questions might come to your mind: How can I get there? Wouldn’t it be great to be able to capture some photos of me in those exact places?
That’s why, many tourists, search on Google for Ponta Delgada Vacation Photographer, or Azores Tourguide. Because they need a local expert to show things around. It is even better if that person is a professional photographer.
So, yeah… you have arrived in Ponta Delgada city and now you have found what you were looking for…Me :) Ahah, a professional photographer who is at the same time a tour guide who will take you to the beautiful Azores Landscapes.

Luckily, “Photography in the Azores” project offers different extensions of services, like Half-day, Full-day Tours, and even a Taylor Made option where you get to choose where you want to go, eat, and be photographed.
Remember, my tours are always private, with pickup and drop-off from/to your place of stay, so you don’t have to worry about anything.
So, after this introduction, I imagine you want to know better what scenario applies to your situation, right?
“I mean, are you a solo traveler? Are you going to propose to her/him? Or are you traveling with your lovely family and want to capture those smiles forever?”
I am dividing this article into those categories, to help you understand a little bit better about the experience of a “Vacation Photographer with Tourguide”.
Single/Solo traveler photo session
For a start, let me congratulate you on having the courage and the enthusiasm to travel alone. Some people, find it the best way to travel.
I have had many customers who seek me in this experience who are solo travelers. Sometimes, they like it so much, that they book several days with me to get to know the majority of the island.
I’ll pick you up and drop you off at any place of your choice and I also, bring some water bottles and some snacks, so you can be in top shape for the photos, ehehe. :)
While we ride along the island, we will visit both more exclusive places but also the mainstream lookout points, so you don’t miss anything.
And on top of that, in the most idyllic places, we will make some photo sessions using all-natural light. Feel free to check my Instagram account for more examples.
I will help you pose and we will walk through the scenarios in a very relaxed way. It’s the best way to capture the real you :)
Depending on your preference of package (Half-day/Full-day/Taylor-made) I guarantee you get to know San Miguel island in a different, informative, and fun way. And best of all, with some lovely Portrait and Landscape Vacation Photos.
2. Couple Photo Session
Looking for an Azores Travel Photographer? Are you going to propose to her/him? And you would love to have some pictures of this utterly unique moment?
You came to the right place. Look no further. I can advise you on what would the best places to propose, with the nicest views.
Just send a quote request and I’ll get back you to explain how things are going to happen.
Check this link for a short reel of a “behind the scenes “. The process is super simple: We schedule a date, hour, and place and I’ll be there in a very discreet way. I’ll wait patiently and with the camera ready I will take some lovely shots.
A word of advice, check where I am, for you to position your and your partners’ bodies parallel to the camera.
After that more nervous moment and after she/he says yes (I hope so, aha, just kidding, they always do) we will discover other Azorean landscapes for more photos.
But if this is not the case of a Proposal, you are also in the right place. Some couples have reached out to me for maternity photo sessions. Others just wanted to take Azores landscape couple photos. The situations are endless.
There was even several times, a couple got married some place else, in another country. And then, they wanted to announce to their family & friends with an original idea: To take professional photos wearing their wedding dresses and suits in different parts of the world.
This happened last year and the results were so cool. Personally I loved the idea.
3. Family Photosession in Azores
What better destination than the Azores to travel with your lovely family: pure fresh air, breathtaking landscapes, Forests, Lakes, and Beaches? And all with the European quality of life standards.
And best of all, away from the crowds. The Azores islands are still a pretty undiscovered destination which allows us to have inner peace and really enjoy the most of this place.
Did you know?
I also moved to São Miguel island when I was 9 years old, with my parents. Simply because we fell in love with this place. Also, my parents understood that the Azores are indeed an excelent place to live as a family.
So cheers to you for having the intention of coming to our islands. :)
Actually, some say that happiness is only meaningful when shared with someone. And what better example than our own family?
As a family father, I understand that time flies, right? One day our children are babies and on another day they are so grown up. I wish we could stop the clock, just for a moment. And that’s why I love photography so much. I know it sounds cheesy, but it’s true.
Taking photographs of families, here in São Miguel island with our views of a beach, a lake or a volcano is something you don’t want to miss out on.
So, come along, send me a message, and let’s talk about your Family Photo Session. Let’s arrange something fun, and in the end, you will have a blast and most of all, get those eternal pictures.
