Not only a phenomenal photographer but genuinely a wonderful person to work with. Patient, talented, quick turn around and really calm and easy to work with. 100% recommend!

Mihail deserves far more than a five-star review. He photographed our wedding and was incredibly patient throughout the entire process. Communication and coordination with him were smooth and effortless. Since Madeira was new to us, he also suggested beautiful spots for capturing stunning photos. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer who can truly enhance and preserve life's special memories.

Mihail is a phenomenal photographer. Not only will you receive beautiful photos that you'll cherish for a lifetime, but you'll also have an amazing experience during the photo session itself. He comes prepared with creative ideas and isn't afraid to gently guide and adjust poses to ensure the best possible results. His local expertise is invaluable, he knows exactly where and when to meet to capture stunning photos with the perfect lighting and scenery. In addition to beautiful family portraits, he captured candid moments like our feet in the water and our baby playing with my hair. Those unexpected shots have become some of our favorites because they tell the story of our family so naturally and beautifully.

We were completely delighted with Mihail's work. The session was simply wonderful. He captured unique, special moments, and the final photos exceeded all our expectations. We got more frames than we expected, and many of them turned out magnificent. Highly recommend him to anyone who wants to document moments worth keeping.

Oh we are so happy with our photoshoot with Mykhaylo. It was a great experience at amazing locations. Mykhaylo knows what he does, he's a true professional. Calm and friendly. Caught truly beautiful moments of our life. Every time looking at these pics I get back to that happy day full of love.

A genuinely great guy who really cares about making sure you have the best experience. He goes above and beyond to help create the perfect moment from planning to executing. You can tell he genuinely cares about the people he works with, not just the photos. Highly recommend!

Wonderful Family Photo Shoot. We had an amazing family photo shoot with Mihail in Seixal. The black sand beach was a stunning backdrop, and Mihail made the experience relaxed, fun, and easy for our whole family. He did a fantastic job capturing both the beautiful scenery and genuine moments between us. The photos are memories we will treasure from our trip to Madeira. We highly recommend Mihail to anyone looking for a family photographer in Madeira!

We wanted some engagement photos taken in Madeira and I could not be happier with our decision to go with Mihail. He was fun, genuine, and has a true talent for capturing special moments. I can not give a stronger recommendation for his friendliness, skills, and service.

How a session usually goes

The same things come up in these texts: people who had never been in front of a camera stopped noticing it after ten minutes, the light and the spot were picked for the hour rather than the postcard, and the frames people keep are the ones between the poses. It is described on the about page and in the preparation guide.
