Who we are

A photography house with a family name.

Foto Fundador was born in Guimarães and, over more than three decades, has photographed thousands of weddings, christenings and events. Today we are Fundador Fotógrafos: the same experience, with a contemporary eye and a team where photo and video work side by side.

We like people to feel at ease. We guide you when it helps, step back when it's better, and deliver an album made to outlast us all.

We work from Guimarães across Braga, Porto and the whole Minho and North of Portugal, as well as the rest of the country and abroad.

Same-day film

Your wedding on screen before the party is over.

We film, edit and show your guests a film of the day while the party is still going. The full film follows later, made with time and care.

“After just a few hours of talking, it felt as if we had known each other for years.”
