My passion for preserving memories began long before I even held a camera. Growing up, Sundays meant family gatherings, the scent of fresh croissants, life stories around family photo albums. Those afternoons taught me the value of holding onto moments.
When I began travelling as an adult, that instinct to document life stayed with me. From sweeping landscapes to the quiet glances between two people in love. As an aerospace engineer, I had the chance to work in France, India and Singapore, where I’ve spent the last ten years capturing images that feel both cinematic and deeply personal.
Thomas Carmentos
For over a decade, I did what I love, working in leading advertising agencies, creating purposeful campaigns for global brands, but I longed for something more personal.
When Thomas suggested we build something together: a creative space that would be ours, documenting your life stories. It felt like the perfect way to merge my love for bringing moments to life with a venture that was truly our own.
And so, Le Palolem was born.
Joyce Dsouza
Le Palolem brings together art, romance, and a deep sense of place. Inspired by Palolem, the coastal town in Goa where our own story began, we create wedding imagery that is timeless, natural, and deeply personal , a reflection of who you are, wherever you say your vows.
Thomas is drawn to the energy and emotions that capture the soul of the day while Joyce brings a fashion-forward perspective to create images that are effortlessly stylish. Together, they share one vision: to tell your story in images that are natural, emotive, and timelessly beautiful.
With a shared passion for travel, we draw inspiration from mixed cultures and landscapes all around the world, ensuring that every wedding we capture is as extraordinary as the couple themselves.
With love,
Thomas & Joyce
Husband and wife. Storytellers. Keepers of your most cherished moments.
