About

Hi, I’m Krystallenia, everyone calls me Christie/Krysta, but I also go with: book-worm, dog-mom, food-lover, traveler.

It’s a pleasure to meet you.

My work lives somewhere between documentary storytelling and editorial elegance. I specialize in romantic editorial destination weddings, where atmosphere, travel and meaningful moments come together.

As a Portugal destination wedding photographer I’m here to guide you and capture the wonderful moments of your wedding day(s) with a splash of magic.

I’m based in Porto, Portugal, where most of my work takes place.
Over the years, my work has also brought me regularly to Brussels as well as Greece – where I was born and raised-, three places I know very well and continue to work in.
For projects elsewhere, I’m always happy to travel when it makes sense for both sides.

If you are feeling a little bit overwhelmed, allow me to take you by the hand on this adventure!

Few things I love and care about:

My grandparents, who recently celebrated 60 years of marriage, are probably the couple I have photographed most throughout my life. They’ve taught me so many precious lessons on life, love and relationships and they are literally my reference of true romance! They are always super awkward in front of the camera, but the hard work of guiding them pays off cause I always get rewarded with the best cake and pie in the world after a quick photoshoot with them!

I’m drawn to stories, beauty, and adventure. I believe in authentic storytelling and as an avid reader and explorer I live for exactly that! And I’m endlessly curious about people and the love they share.

Whether you’re planning an intimate elopement or a destination celebration, my priority is simple: make you feel heard, seen, and grounded so that your photos reflect who you are and how your day felt.

Here at KrystaPhotos we support a few animal organisations and local shelters in Portugal and Greece through monthly/yearly donations and pro-bono content creation to help spread awareness and facilitate the adoption of the most wonderful dogs.

Let’s be the persons our pets think we are 🙂
