TESTIMONIAL

We are so thrilled that we got to work with Madalena for our wedding.

She was so kind, personable and fun. We had a couple meetings before our big day and she listened to everything and completely understood the assignment. My husband and I primarily wanted to focus on candid photos to capture the true essence and feel of our day and Madalena did exactly that. She also split her photography time in between the day, which I’m incredibly grateful for.

All of our guests were so impressed by her soloing all the shots during the wedding, zipping in and out of areas unseen! I was also amazed at how fast we got our previews!! All beautifully shot.

Thank you so much for capturing our day, we’ll cherish the memories for a lifetime.

We highly recommend Sambajoy Wedding Photography for any special occasion!

We had the pleasure to have Madalena and Marcelo capture our big day and we absolutely loved loved loved working with them! We are not natural in front of cameras and the nerves can be there on your big day, but they went above and beyond to make sure we were confortable and confident in front of the camera. They have a magic eye for art to capture the most perfect photos and we are absolutely in love with the sneak peek they delivered to us shortly after the wedding. Muito obrigada to you both! You'll have a special spot in our hearts forever!
