Frequently Asked Questions

I like to think that I have a calm and discreet approach during the wedding day. I believe that the day belongs to the couple and to those they have chosen to share one of the most important days of their lives with. My goal is to capture the moments and emotions as they unfold throughout the day, without pressure and as naturally as possible.

Reach me through the contact form and I will send you a PDF brochure where you can check my services and prices. It's important to mention the event date (in the case of weddings and baptisms) or the type of session so that I can check my availability and provide the most appropriate information.

Of course not! I would be delighted to photograph your wedding or do your session wherever you want. I love to travel and explore new places, whether it's in Portugal or around the world!


I don't do video, but I have a handful of videographer friends that I work with, and I'd be happy to recommend them

Yes! You can also have a session after the wedding, and I also do family sessions. You can also have a session just because 🙂

I always recommend a meeting to get to know each other and discuss some details or clarify any doubts that may arise. When it's all set, a contract is signed, and a deposit payment has to be made to reserve the date.

The number of photographs depends on the wedding, but on average, between 800 to 900 will be delivered in a 12-hour service. For photoshoots, depending on the type of session, between 40 to 60 photographs will be delivered. All delivered photos are selected and properly edited according to my personal style. They will always be delivered in high resolution and without watermarks so that you can print and share them without any problem!

The wedding photos will be delivered through an online gallery. For sessions, the photos will be sent in digital format via WeTransfer.

On average, it takes me between 2 to 3 months to deliver the final work. For sessions, the deadline will be shorter and indicated at the time of the photoshoot.

For travel over 40 km from Aveiro, there is an additional charge of €0.40 per extra kilometer. For travel over 150 km, overnight accommodation for one or more nights may be required.

Feel free to reach out through info@tiagosilvafotografia.com or using the contact page.

Let's talk a bit and clarify any doubts you may have.

Testimonials

You know that low-profile photographer who takes amazing photos, who's like a paparazzi with incredible taste? Well, that's Tiago! We highly recommend him! A sweetheart, very professional, and always willing to meet the demands of the bride and groom. He took simply unbelievable photos in no time. He didn't steal any party time from us, and we thoroughly enjoyed the wedding! Thank you for everything, Tiago! You're the greatest!

Anyone preparing for a wedding knows that one of the most difficult parts (among budget management, guest list, etc.) is knowing that a particular supplier is the right one for us. Whether it's because of what we envision for the final work or the interaction they may have with us on the big day. It was no different for us.
Tiago was the choice to celebrate the 10th anniversary and to capture the groom's decision to speak from his knees. From that day on, we knew our photographer was chosen. And what a choice it was. Tiago is like a friend on a stroll: he talks, jokes, gets into the banter - we can be quite silly - and brings lightness to every moment. On our wedding day, it was no different. He didn't just meet our expectations, he exceeded them. He stayed by our side throughout and, knowing us a little, he understood from the start what we wanted. With Paulo's help (a thousand thanks to Paulo for his patience and excellent work; Tiago knew what he was getting into, but Paulo didn't), he presented us with the best work we could ever imagine, with the quality and attention to detail that he has accustomed us to. He captured details, expressions, tears, and joys. Things we didn't notice, they captured in the most genuine and beautiful way possible.
Tiago was our first chosen supplier (even when we didn't have a date yet), and we know that the choice couldn't have been better. A huge thank you remains, along with the certainty that he will be the photographer of our story.

We are from the USA but got married this past August in Coimbra. Tiago really exceeded our expectations for our engagement session and wedding pictures. He responded quickly to all my emails and questions I had. He was patient, kind, and you can really tell he’s passionate and really enjoys what he does.
Vicente and I are absolutely in love with the pictures from our wedding day. When we received our pictures, we couldn’t believe the stunning way in which he captured our day, all the details and such special and incredible moments. These pictures we will forever cherish. Thank you for sharing your talent with us Tiago! Vicente and I cannot thank you enough for the beautiful and incredible work you did.

Naturalness, feelings, truth, emotion, and plenty of light - that's what caught our attention in Tiago's photographs. We wanted a photography style that we could identify with, one that would allow us to look at our big day just as it was: very "us." From the first meeting with Tiago, we exchanged ideas, visions, and everything fell into place. We had chosen one of the most important vendors of the day: Tiago Silva Fotografia. Then it was just letting it flow... During the session at home, it was a discovery of ourselves in the photographic aspect, and Tiago made us feel very comfortable. It was a moment of relaxation and fun. It was great because we were able to create the connection and complicity for the wedding day. On the day itself, everything was natural, and we practically saw Tiago as a guest. Helpful with people, in good spirits, and it was evident that he was doing it with pleasure (which was very important to us). His work was spectacular, very quick in delivery, very professional in everything we asked of him, always willing to adapt to our requests. Thank you once again, Tiago. We would do it all over again with you and hope to do so in the next stages of our lives (babies, baptisms, family sessions...). See you soon.

There are not enough words to express our gratitude for the excellent work you've done. We "left home" in search of a good photographer and returned with a new friend!!!! We received the photos from the engagement session and the wedding, and we had the confirmation that all the trust we placed in Tiago Silva was not in vain... Tiago was impeccable from the first meeting to the last click!!!! It was a privilege to have our "Big Day" immortalized by his magical lenses!!!! We loved the final result immensely, the photos turned out sensational!!!! We wish you all the success in the world, may you have many more couples of newlyweds (and not only) and may you never lose that passion for photography!!!! We will undoubtedly need your services to capture more important and special moments in our lives. Thank you so much for everything 😊 Kisses and hugs.

Choosing Tiago to be the photographer for our wedding was the easiest and most accurate choice we made, and the final result was even better than what we were expecting. Our expectations, given the incredible quality of his portfolio, were quite high and were completely surpassed. Tiago works magic! And this magic happens for several reasons, from the beautiful bond he manages to develop with the couple, to the dedication, and especially the mutual support he offers us from the very beginning. It's impossible to feel nervous or tense around him because even with a camera, photographer Tiago quickly becomes friend Tiago in just a moment. The fact that he makes us feel so comfortable allows all the photos to be captured so naturally, sincerely, and emotionally. The engagement session is crucial for everyone to get to know each other and form bonds. And although it's just us and a photographer, we quickly forget about that and become ourselves, a friend, and a beautiful moment of relaxation and a stroll. On the wedding day, without us realizing he was there with a camera in hand, he achieved what we wanted most: to capture everything we saw and didn't see! Every tear, smile, and hug! In summary, all the emotions of everyone who was part of our story! We are eternally grateful to Tiago for the incredible memories we have of our day, and we look forward to having him present in more happy days of our lives, capturing this love.

Even before we talked about getting married, the photographer was chosen. Tiago Silva, without a doubt. It was one of the best decisions we made. We had known Tiago for a few years, from other weddings, and since then we knew he would be the one to mirror our love and the happiest day of our lives in images. The engagement session was very important to us, not to become more comfortable with Tiago, but with his lenses and how we should look at them. It was an incredible day, with wonderful photographs, lots of laughter, and good conversation mixed in. On the happiest day of our lives, he once again managed to capture every emotion in detail. When we see and review the photos, we can feel chills, cry, and laugh a lot... Not just because the quality of the images is great, but mainly because Tiago is able to convey our emotions and the magic that surrounds us without us even realizing he's there. Thank you, Tiago, for your quality, kindness, and for being able to reflect our love so well.
Inês & Tierri
Tiago "came" to us through the recommendation of a friend, through the experience and genuine word-of-mouth advertising. And we're glad it happened that way! He eased our nerves and turned an engagement session into an important moment to understand compatibility and common goals. Our wedding day was lived in our own way, without the constraints of poses or dead moments, just as we wanted to avoid. This is Tiago's philosophy, to let us live our day without realizing we have a camera pointed at us, thus capturing real and unique moments, moments we lived and moments that escaped our eyes. Perhaps this made his job a bit complicated (since we didn't stop for a second), but it also showed, very well, his professionalism. Of all the work we did together, the trash the dress session was by far the session where we were most relaxed, again without poses or uncomfortable moments. We felt like we were with a professional friend, comfortable and happy, to be able to share with him and leave such well-documented memories, in one of our favorite places: Madeira. For these reasons, in addition to being very professional, we describe Tiago's work as creative, flexible, and relaxed!

For us, it was always a given that the people we chose to photograph and film our day had to be perfect (for us) and special. It was through Rui that we met Tiago, and we can only thank him for that. Tiago, besides all the spectacular work he does (and that's visible!), is super cool and makes us very relaxed. The groom, who was super tense and kept saying he would feel ridiculous during the session (in this case, before the wedding!), ended up saying that it went really well and it didn't bother him at all because Tiago really manages to make us feel at ease. It's like someone accompanying us as a friend rather than as a photographer. On the wedding day, his presence was so harmonious that he never interfered with anything, but in the end, when we saw the photos, we thought, "wow, he was really there at the right moment!" We couldn't have chosen better, and I hope, from the bottom of my heart, that we meet again in special moments. Thank you, Tiago.
