Rafael Rodrigues Photography

I'm Rafael who captures love stories through my lens. After years photographing urban weddings, coastal proposals, and joyful celebrations throughout Southern New England, I moved to Burlington to embrace Vermont's mountains, lakes, and snowy winters. My goal is always the same: to create photographs that feel natural, emotional, and timeless so you can relive these moments for years to come. During sessions, I focus on helping people relax and enjoy the moment so the images reflect genuine connection rather than stiff poses.

I blend candid storytelling with artistic portraits to reflect your unique bond. Using professional full frame cameras and fast prime lenses, I create beautiful shallow depth of field photographs where you stand out clearly while the background melts into soft natural bokeh. Whether photographing along Lake Champlain, in a Vermont meadow, in the mountains, or downtown Burlington, the result is elegant imagery where you become the focus while the scenery fades into a soft cinematic backdrop. My documentary style preserves genuine connection, laughter, quiet glances, movement and real emotion.
