Why choose couple photography in Ouro Preto?
A couple session in Ouro Preto is a walk downhill through the eighteenth century: stone streets, painted window frames, church towers on every ridge. The best-loved end point is Praça Tiradentes as the light goes, with the museum front catching the last colour and the lamps coming on. Most of the year the square empties at dusk on a weekday, and on two evenings a week it does not.
Worth knowing about Ouro Preto
The Museu da Inconfidência on Praça Tiradentes opens until 20:00 on Fridays and Saturdays, with last entry at 19:00, against 18:00 from Tuesday to Thursday. Ouro Preto sunsets run from about 17:20 in late June to 18:40 in January, so a Friday or Saturday couple session can end at sunset on the square and still walk into the free museum together afterwards.

FAQ — Couple photography in Ouro Preto
When is the best time for a couple session in Ouro Preto?
The last hour before sunset, from May to September. Ouro Preto is drier and clearer then, and the sun sets around 17:20 in late June. A couple session that walks down the stone streets ends on Praça Tiradentes as the lamps come on, best on a Friday or Saturday when the museum stays open until 20:00.
Do we need permission for a couple session in Ouro Preto?
Not on the streets. Ouro Preto is an IPHAN-listed town, and the listing governs building and alteration, not portraits from public ground. A couple session in Ouro Preto that wants a church interior asks that church in advance, because each one sets its own entry and photography rules.
