Mara Ellis

Portrait and wedding photographer, Lisbon

I photograph people the way they actually are: in good light, without much fuss, and with enough time for the moment to arrive on its own.

Now booking weddings for 2027.

    About

    Fifteen years, mostly on film, always with the people in front of me.

    I started with a secondhand Pentax and a roll of expired Portra. These days I shoot digital for weddings and film for everything else, and I still print the ones that matter.

    Based in Lisbon, working across Portugal and Spain, and happy to travel further for the right story.
