The city of Porto is filled with charm, history, and romance. Among its many treasures, the iconic Livraria Lello stands out as one of the most beautiful bookstores in the world. Known for its breathtaking architecture and magical atmosphere, it is a place that inspires wonder the moment you step inside.
Recently, I had the rare privilege of photographing a couple inside Livraria Lello. While the bookstore is not normally available for private photoshoots or weddings, this special opportunity allowed us to capture something truly unique, a love story framed by one of Porto’s most extraordinary landmarks.
Why Livraria Lello feels so magical
With its famous wooden staircase, stained-glass ceiling, and shelves lined with timeless stories, Livraria Lello is more than a bookstore, it is a symbol of culture, romance, and history. Photographing a couple in this setting was like stepping into a fairytale, where every corner held a sense of intimacy and grandeur.
The experience of the session
The couple embraced the moment with joy and tenderness, and the result was a collection of authentic, cinematic images that will always carry the memory of this once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Porto – the perfect backdrop for love stories
While sessions inside Livraria Lello are not generally possible, Porto offers countless other breathtaking locations for couples and weddings. From the romantic Ribeira by the Douro River, to the Palácio de Cristal gardens, or even a private Port wine cellar, this city is full of magical spots for capturing your love story.
