Whether for a Photo Tour, Solo Session, or Proposal, you want to look and feel your best. But Madeira is wild—expect wind, sun, and humidity! A professional ensures your makeup stays fresh and your hair handles the breeze perfectly throughout the adventure. Here are the talented experts I trust to make you look stunning yet natural, whatever the weather.
1. Makeup Artists (MUA) 💄
For: Tours, Solo, Maternity, Couples, Weddings. Why? To look radiant and ensure your look lasts 5+ hours.
I always recommend a 'Natural Glow' style. You want to look like yourself, just a bit more rested and polished. These artists know exactly how to achieve that fresh look that pops in camera
2. Hair Stylists 💇♀️
Because we always feel more confident with nice hair !
Embrace the wind! It adds movement and life to the photos. However, a professional stylist can give your hair the right texture and structure so it looks 'wild & free' rather than 'messy & tangled'.
3. Haircut & Barbershops (For Him) 💈
Because details matter. A fresh fade or a sharp beard trim makes a huge difference in portraits.
Gentlemen, don't let the ladies have all the fun. A visit to the barber is the best way to relax before the shoot and look sharp for the close-ups.
(for Him) Old Skull Barber & Hair Salon
This isn't just a haircut; it's an experience. The vibe is cool, the team is skilled, and they really know how to shape a beard to frame your face perfectly. Highly recommended for grooms or just a fresh holiday look.
4. Florists (Bouquets & Flower Crowns) 🌿
A bouquet gives you something to hold (helps with posing!) and adds a splash of color to the dark volcanic landscapes.
A Tulipa
A Tulipa creates lush, vibrant bouquets that always look fresh. They have a huge variety of flowers and are very reliable with deliveries.
CS Flowers Design
If you are looking for something artistic and structured, CS Flowers is the place. Their designs are elegant and they have a great eye for color palettes.
Florista Das Madalenas
A lovely local shop with a great selection of fresh blooms. Perfect for a quick bouquet pick-up.
Florista Jardim da Piedade
Known for their friendly service and beautiful traditional arrangements.
5. Private Drivers 🚗
My favourite drivers in Madeira that can archieve any course for you
Madeira's roads can be... intense! Steep hills and narrow streets are common. I work with trusted drivers who are not only safe and reliable but also great company
Pedro Vares Taxi
The legend himself! Pedro drives with extreme smoothness (crucial on winding roads) and knows every secret corner of the island. He is always on time, super safe, and great company
Luis Miguel (Bolt)
A fantastic driver with great vibes! Punctual, polite, and drive perfectly.
Eldin (Bolt)
Eldin is a reliable driver that bring you from a point A to B in no time. Always on time. A sure guy.
6. Videographers 🎥
Videographer is a job by itself and different from Photography. They are true artist and story teller that can make your day look like a movie
If you want a video souvenir alongside my photos, I partner with a videographer that I like the work and personnality.
Ilya
Ilya is a visual poet. He doesn't just record video; he captures the mood. His editing style is cinematic and timeless, and he works discreetly in the background. His drone skills are also next level!
7. Celebrants & Officiants 📜
For: Elopements, Vow Renewals, Symbolic Weddings. Why? Because you need someone to put your feelings into words (and make you laugh/cry).
Forget the boring civil code. These celebrants create a custom ceremony that tells your story. They can hike to the spot with us and perform beautiful symbolic rituals like Handfasting or a Ring Warming.
Anke
If you need a official ceremony or just an elopement symbolic ceremony, Anke is the one. She has lived on the island for 20+ years and speak German, English, Portuguese, Serbian and Croatian and chave people in her team that speak French or Polish.
