Photographers based in Braga, Portugal
Hello, we are Alexandra and António.
HOW IT ALL STARTED
Born in Venezuela and France, respectively, our paths crossed in Portugal, particularly in Braga, giving rise to our love story, which includes our three lovely children. Besides our mutual love, we discovered something else that connected us: a passion for photography. For us, photography is more than just images; it’s a way to express emotions and tell stories through moments frozen in time. It has the unique and powerful ability to immortalize moments and convey intense feelings, such as love. Based on this, we decided to continue the brand that Alexandra created over 10 years ago, offering everyone the opportunity to enjoy a trusted brand — Alexandra Mieres Photography.
OUR OBJECTIVE
Through the captured images, we can relive happy moments, reminding us of the unique beauty present in each instant — “Photography works as our memory. The difference is that we can share it. A photo holds smiles, tears, and hugs in a single click!”
This ability of photography to connect us with the past and evoke fond memories strengthens our love for the photographic art.

Our Definition of Photography…
In this small video of ours, love overflows in every scene, from the gentle touches to the shared smiles. It is a delicate dance between two souls, where the intensity of the moment is palpable.
Just like in the video, in our photographs we aim to capture that same emotional intensity but also the authenticity of each moment. Each click of the camera is an attempt to freeze those fleeting moments so they can be relived and cherished forever. We strive to convey not just images, but the emotions and connection with your loved one or family.
From real life to our photographic work, each image is a love story in itself, a testament to the intensity of shared feelings. We invite you to dive with us into this journey of emotion and discovery, where each photograph is a precious reminder of true love.
Come and see that the result will be a marvel to you and to all those who will have the privilege of reliving your moments.
01. Since when has our studio been in existence?
In 2021, to better meet the growing demand for our services and to receive our clients in the best conditions, we decided to open our studio in Braga. In addition to offering studio sessions, this allows us to meet with our clients to handle all the details related to the various events we have the privilege of covering, especially weddings. At the end of 2023 and the beginning of 2024, we made improvements to provide even more comfort to our clients.
02. What kind of training do we have?
In addition to photography being a passion and part of our current results being due to self-taught learning, we continue to dedicate part of our lives to participating in training to further enrich our artistic practice. For us, sharing is an essential value, and the only way to evolve in this field is by following a path of continuous improvement. Today, we strive to introduce something more fashion-forward into our style. Photography is often undervalued, and we believe this is largely due to stagnation that many have resigned themselves to. Today, we are facing a generation that seeks to evolve in its style, and we want to be an integral part of this mindset.
03. What are we like as photographers and as a family?
Our photography aims to be just like we are as a family—passionate. We have 3 little ones who bring us joy and of whom we are very proud.
04. What are our sessions like?
During the photo session, we relax and have a lot of fun while simply guiding you. This more easily establishes the friendly relationship necessary for the success of the photo session. It’s not enough to have beautiful models and excellent photographers. It’s essential to feel comfortable so that the images are spontaneous and authentic. Whether in studio sessions or at events, we always strive to be part of the celebration and not just a service you hire.
