Engagement Photoshoot in Porto Coastline | Mafalda + João

A Fun Engagement Photoshoot: Mafalda & João at Parque Ambiental do Buçaquinho and Praia de São Pedro de Maceda

Engagement shoots don’t have to be all about grand romantic gestures—they can be about having fun, enjoying the moment, and capturing the real connection between two people. Mafalda and João’s session was exactly that! We explored two amazing locations—Parque Ambiental do Buçaquinho and Praia de São Pedro de Maceda—and had an incredible time along the way.

A Relaxed Walk Through Parque Ambiental do Buçaquinho

We kicked things off at Parque Ambiental do Buçaquinho, a quiet spot full of greenery, wooden walkways, and peaceful lakes. Mafalda and João were all smiles as they strolled through the park, cracking jokes and just enjoying each other's company. There were no stiff poses—just natural moments of laughter, stolen glances, and a whole lot of personality.

The park gave us plenty of great backdrops, from charming bridges to tree-lined paths. At one point, they sat by the water, chatting like they weren’t even in the middle of a photoshoot. That’s the best part of sessions like these—just capturing people as they are.

Beach Vibes at Praia de São Pedro de Maceda

As the afternoon light started to fade, we headed over to Praia de São Pedro de Maceda. With its open coastline, rolling dunes, and fresh ocean breeze, it was the perfect spot for some relaxed, fun shots.

Mafalda and João kicked off their shoes and got straight into it—running along the shore, splashing in the waves, and just enjoying the beach. The wind added a cool, effortless vibe to the shots, with Mafalda’s hair flying around and João pulling her in close to keep her warm. Nothing forced, nothing overly posed—just them being themselves.

As the sun set, we wrapped up the shoot with some laid-back moments—sitting on the sand, watching the waves, and taking it all in. It was the perfect way to end the day.

Capturing the Moment

Mafalda and João’s engagement shoot was all about keeping it real. No over-the-top romance, just two people having fun and making memories in some seriously beautiful locations. If this session is anything to go by, their wedding is going to be just as full of love, laughter, and good vibes!
