the studio

We photograph the in-between: the breath before the vow, the laugh nobody planned, the light that only lasts a minute.

Ostrelle is a small studio in Lisbon led by Elena Marlow and Tomás Reyes. We take on around forty weddings, portraits and brand stories a year, so each one gets our full attention.

Inês & Rafael
★★★★★
