A bit of History about Santa Catarina, Lisbon.

The Palace of Verride or Palace of Santa Catarina is located in Bairro da Bica, on Rua de Santa Catarina , next to the Miradouro de Santa Catarina (popularly called Adamastor), in Lisbon .

It currently houses a 5-star hotel.

It received the Valmor Award for Best Tourist Rehabilitation in 2018.

This palace was built in the 18th century . Here lived the Count of Verride.

It was owned by Caixa Geral de Depósitos until 1993, when the Image and Communication Offices were transferred to the headquarters in Campo Pequeno. At the same time, the noble floor was used as a place for receptions and dinners.

It was acquired by the Lisbon municipality in 2003 . Negotiations began between the City Council of Lisbon, the collector Francisco Capelo and Bárbara Coutinho, the director of the future Museum of Design and Fashion (MUDE) so that the Museum occupied this building, which did not materialize.

In the Palace, an exhibition was held as part of the Pop Up Festival in 2010, of urban culture, of which some traces can still be seen today, namely on the top floor (some graffiti). Between the 22nd and 28th of October, the Palace reopened its doors for the exhibition "Verride", within the scope of the Lisbon Week 2012 initiative (sponsored by Caixa Geral de Depósitos, on the Rota da Arte). The curator Filipa Oliveira invited fifteen Portuguese artists to exhibit: Vasco Araújo, André Guedes ( afternoon performance and work on the entrance floor), Pedro Barateiro, Susana Mendes Silva, João Onofre, Gil Cortesão, Nuno Sousa Vieira, Joana Bastos, Patrícia Garrido, Luísa Cunha, Rui Chafes, Helena Almeida, Helena Marques, Daniel Blaufuks and Mauro Cerqueira. The exhibition was extended until the 4th of November 2012. ´

Emotional Photographer documenting emotional Weddings.

Since July 2014, I document your intimate wedding, Minimony, Sequel Wedding, Micro wedding or Adventurous Elopement, proposal, and engagement and I have seen a lot of love stories, full of joy and emotions. It has a lot of different names but only the story matters. I am moved by telling the story of your day in the most natural and genuine way possible. No need to spend one hour behind the church with me to take the couple's photographs, I will always value letting you spend time with family and friends. This is your day, not mine.

Most of my couples define themselves as shy in front of the camera, I believe simply they don’t know how easy it is to spend a few simple moments with their partner in front of my camera. I will follow you from getting ready to the dance floor in the most natural way possible. To deliver a poetic and unique vision of the most important day of your life.
