Beatriz Calvo Cerezo — Photography for Couples & Families in Pico & Faial

I’m Beatriz Calvo Cerezo, a photographer working across Pico and Faial Islands , where dramatic landscapes and quiet moments come together naturally. My approach is relaxed and intuitive, focused on real connection rather than stiff poses. I photograph love stories, families, surprise engagements, weddings, and meaningful celebrations, always letting the environment support the story instead of overpowering it. The result is imagery that feels honest, emotional, and deeply tied to the place where it was created.
