Cascais Photographer

We’re Chas Studios, a husband-and-wife team offering engagement, wedding, and family photography in Cascais, Estoril, and Sintra. We work with couples and families visiting Portugal as well as those living locally, creating natural images in coastal and historic settings.

Our approach is documentary with light direction. We guide you when needed but focus on real interaction, movement, and expression. Cascais offers a mix of beaches, cliffs, and quiet streets, which allows each session to feel relaxed and location-driven.

We photograph engagement sessions, couples, weddings, and family shoots across Cascais and nearby areas, helping you choose the best location and time of day for your photos.

Our approach is calm and documentary, with light direction when needed. We focus on real interaction, natural movement, and images that feel like you, not posed versions of you.

We work with couples and families who value connection over perfection, capturing sessions along the Cascais coast, in nearby villages, and throughout the Lisbon region.

"We booked Chas studios for a 1 hour family shoot while on vacation. It was super easy to arrange, book, and our photographer Cristal was great. Amazingly, we got our pictures back within 3 days, and over a holiday weekend as well! Highly recommend them :)"

"We’ve had an amazing experience with Diego and Taylor. They made us feel very comfortable during the photoshoot. They are very professional and even though we didn’t have any experience in doing photoshoots they made it very easy for us to have fun and be relaxed and natural in the photos. I’ve never had so many compliments on my photos! I highly recommend Chas Studios! Thanks again!"
