Hi, I'm Sina. Thank you for being here <3

Hi, I'm Sina. Thank you for being here <3

My passion is planning and photographing elopements for couples who want their wedding day to actually feel as extraordinary as it looks.

Madeira is actually where I photographed my very first elopement and fell madly in love with it all. When the couple shared their beautiful vows underneath an ancient laurel tree in the mist-shrouded fairy forest and cried and laughed and went through all the emotions (me included) the deal was sealed.

From moodboards and location scouting to timelines, permits and logistics — I'm your guide and emotional support human every step of the way.

Pico do Arieiro above a sea of clouds at sunrise. A ceremony under a 500-year-old laurel arch in Fanal. The perfect sunset spot overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. With nearly a decade behind the lens and Madeira as one of my home bases, finding the spots where magic actually happens is second nature.

Vision-Based Experience Design

Moodboard & Visual Direction

Before we plan a single location, I build a visual moodboard from everything you share with me. Seeing your vision reflected back is part of the magic. It builds anticipation and makes sure we're working toward exact same vision.

Your Custom Madeira Timeline

I'll design your custom timeline in a way that ensures that you’re never in a rush and arrive at each place at the ideal time of day - the best lighting for beautiful cinematic photos, the fewest crowds and a intimate, smooth and joyful experience.

Exclusive Location Scouting

Extraordinary spots and hidden gems across Madeira, all pre-scouted for cinematic photography and genuine privacy. No tourist traps, no crowded viewpoints — only places that work for the intimate experience you're here for.

Activity & Experience Suggestions

You'll receive personalised ideas for activities and experiences (everything from levada walks to private dinners) that will make your experience feel extra meaningful.

Accommodation Recommendations

You’ll receive personalised recommendations for the most photogenic and relaxing places you can book for your elopement everything from secluded nature retreats to unique AirBnbs and luxury quintas. All based on your personal taste.

Honeymoon Itinerary Ideas

Madeira has far more than one day can hold. You'll receive my personal recommendations for the rest of your stay. Only places and experiences I've tried and loved myself.

Your Personal Planning Consultant & Local Guide

Direct Access Throughout

You'll have a direct line to me from the moment you book until your gallery is delivered. Questions, ideas, changes of plan — text or email me anytime, or schedule a call whenever you need it.

Unlimited Planning Consultations & Revisions

We'll build and refine your elopement together through as many calls as it takes (usually its done after a few), until everything feels completely right.

Trusted Madeira Vendor Connections

Need a local celebrant, florist, hair & makeup artist, or private chef? I'll connect you with the vendors I trust — including an availability check before I make the introduction.

Permit & Reservation Handling

I handle all of the trail bookings, protected area access, location permits so you don't need to research any of this yourself.

All My Travel Costs Included

No hidden fees, no surprises. Every package includes all my travel costs to Madeira. What you see is what you pay.

Backup Day(s) & Flexibility

I hold buffer space in my schedule around your elopement date and build flexibility into your timeline. If Madeira's weather has other ideas, we simply adjust without stress.

Award-Winning Elopement Photography

Cinematic, Storytelling-focused Photography coverage

6+ hours of documentary-style photography that captures how your day actually felt, not just what happened. The kind of images that rekindle the exact emotions of the moment, every time you look at them.

Empathetic Posing & Directing

We’ll focus on creating a safe space where you feel comfortable to be yourselves and sink into the moment. All while being gently guided with suggestions that feel natural and flow through movement. That way your photos will feel as alive as you did in the moments they were created.

Drone Shots

here legally permitted across Madeira, I'll capture aerial shots of the landscapes that make this island so extraordinary. Because some landscapes are so vast, you need to take a step back to fully appreciate them.

Artistic, Hand-crafted Edits

Every selected image passes through multiple rounds of color grading, polishing and finishing touches resulting in artfully crafted images up to the highest standard.

48-Hour Previews

The first handful of images arrive within 48 hours — so you can share the excitement while it's still fresh. The full gallery is delivered within 4 weeks.

Beautiful Private Online Gallery

You'll receive all edited photos in full resolution in your private online gallery to view, download, print, and share.

04 - Bonus

Good Karma for Giving Back to Madeira's Nature

3% of your package net value goes to a local Madeiran conservation cause protecting the wild landscapes that make your photos possible.
