A little about me...
Hey, I’m Roxy! I shoot weddings, elopements and the journey of motherhood all across Europe from my home base of beautiful Cascais, Lisbon in Portugal!
I believe that love shouldn’t be complicated. It can be many other things, many different colours, flavours and feelings…but never complicated. Whether it’s for your child, your partner or your pet, love is love. A little word with a whole lot of meaning. Photography has been my life for a long time now, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
I started my journey in the fashion industry, but I soon fell in love with capturing human connection and all the beautiful stories and histories that come along with this powerful force. I have my husband Dimitri (Dim) to thank for that - he made me love true love. Now my lens finds it naturally.
At home, I try to keep things laid-back. I’m super passionate about leading a mindful life in which I treat everything and everyone with respect. I love hanging out in nature with Dim and our two fur babies, Pepper and Tokyo, gazing at stars, hiking through woods or taking a dip in the ocean.
More than just a photographer…

MY PHILOSOPHY
BACK
I create my best work in loving, trusting environments, which is why it’s so incredibly important to me that my clients feel comfortable, seen and heard during our sessions together. I have a strong compassion for people, animals and the environment; I approach every photoshoot with respect and care. I will go above and beyond to make your wedding dreams a reality. As your Portugal wedding photographer, I’m your number one cheerleader here for whatever you need - be it gentle guidance, a shoulder for support or a shower of applause.
“There is one thing the photo must contain – the humanity of the moment.”
– Robert Frank
My Inspirations
BACK
I’ve always lived with a creative spark and loved photography from a young age, often asking for cameras for my birthdays and Christmases growing up. My parents made sure to encourage me to follow my heart and stay true to my most authentic self. It’s this guidance that shaped my instincts as a photographer and artist, allowing me the freedom to express myself creatively and trust those who I create with. I love travelling and experiencing new places, as well as meeting new people and learning about their lives. I draw inspiration from art old and new, the ocean, the moon and nature in general…especially the beautiful African bushland around which I grew up.
“Everything you can image in real”
– Pablo Picasso
BEHIND THE LENS
BACK
My approach is to let moments unfold naturally and candidly, as opposed to giving too much direction; but I’m not just your photographer - I’m also your friend! I’ll be by your side, every step of the way, handling any and all situations as they arise.
I’ll get to know your closest guests and ensure that everyone is happy, comfortable and confident (especially you two!). Most importantly, I won’t miss a moment. Everything that’s important to you will be captured with grace and craft.
“You can’t use up creativity”
– Maya Angelou

OREA & KEEGAN
Absolutely incredible! Roxy listened attentively to every detail we desired and captured our special day in the most beautiful way imaginable. Roxy’s talent is unmatched, and I cannot recommend her enough to anyone seeking a photographer for their special occasion. Thank you for immortalizing our memories so perfectly.
CHANA & JASON
Roxy captured moments of my wedding that literally speak a thousand words. She came highly, highly recommended. Roxy has this energy that is hard to explain but you feel it when you are with her, her energy, excitement and precision spill over into her work, resulting in the most phenomenal photographs. She is by far one of the best photographers I know and I cannot recommend her enough!
JUSTINE & BRAD
"Rox your warmth, love and passion not only reflects in your photography but in the energy you create during the day. Taking professional photos as a couple can be so overwhelming, especially, when capturing intimate moments. You truly made us feel at ease and directed us so organically. We love that you put the needs of your clients first and that you were willing to adjust the environment to ensure that we felt completely comfortable throughout our day. You captured the true beauty of our special occasion beyond our wildest dreams. It was an absolute pleasure working with you. You are our forever photographer"
KYLIE & CLYDE
We are naturally quite shy people but your naturally calm, encouraging nature, set the tone for the day and put us to ease right away. You brought out the best in us and were really able to capture the essence of our relationship and our love. We had so much fun throughout this experience. We adore our photographs; they are truly a work of art. Every time we look at them we fall in love all over again and again and again.
TINA & PAVLO
Thank you for making every single moment of our day special for us, for going above & beyond anything we ever expected. We both hate being in front of the camera and you made us feel so comfortable that we ended up having so much fun. Our families love you and your beautiful nature. You are so talented and we are so happy that we chose you to capture our most special day. We hired a photographer for our wedding and made a friend for life.
