Annie & Jason´s elopement in Sintra.
Regina & Mikkel’s seaside wedding at an early 20th century villa in Estoril. 
Yvonne & João’s castle wedding in Montemor-o-Velho.
Jessie & Elliot’s vineyard wedding at Quinta de Sant’ana.
Yuna and Pedro’s garden wedding at the Palacio de Seteais, in Sintra.
Lindsey and Alex’s very tiny Algarve wedding. 
Catia and Jamie’s beach wedding in Comporta. 
João is from Portugal and Lucia is from Romania… they met in Brussels and it was love at first sight, and since then they have followed each other around the world (their work keeps them on the road). When we first skyped with them they were living in Kinshasa, in the DRC and planning 2 weddings in Europe, one in Portugal and another in Romania… which makes these guys pretty much the definition of an international couple. They are getting married tomorrow and we wanted to share their e-session photos with them before the wedding day… these two share a very special something, a playfulness, and it´s quite clear that they´re completely mad about one another… it makes them a joy to work with and we can´t wait to see them again soon!

Annie and Jason… where do I even begin? Their wedding was our first one of 2013 and was certainly a day we will never forget. They first contacted us last year to see if we were available for their wedding, they explained that it was just going to be the 2 of them, an elopement of sorts, and as we chatted about their plans for the day we knew immediately that this was going to be a wedding unlike any we´d photographed before. Neither of them had been to mainland Portugal before but had been following our blog for a while and fell in love with the country through our eyes… which is a pretty big compliment in itself, but the cherry-on-top was when they asked us to pick the location of their ceremony, as they trusted our vision and knew we would find the best spot. No pressure!! You guys, this doesn´t happen very often… that the photographers get to pick the ceremony location, and it was an opportunity we weren´t going to waste! Months of location scouting ensued, to the point that people though we´d moved to Lisbon due to our Instagram feeds being full of scenic cityscapes but finally it was in the magical town of Sintra that we found the perfect place… the chapel ruins in the gardens of the Monserrate Palace.

A Catarina e o Rui casam-se este fim de semana na Comporta mesmo á beira mar (na Ilha do Arroz, um dos nossos locais favoritos, yeah!) e queriamos partilhar as fotos da e-session com eles antes do grande dia. Passámos juntos uma bonita tarde a caminhar nas ruas de Sintra e mal podemos esperar para os fotografar novamente no fim de semana, pelo que ouvimos o casamento vai ser maravilhoso e estamos a contar os dias para que chegue… até já!!!

Annie is a southern belle from Louisiana and Jason is an East Coast boy with his roots in the Azores… neither of them had been to mainland Portugal before but it seemed the perfect spot for the two of them to run away to and elope. We met up with them a few days before their wedding to photograph this session and Annie had mentioned beforehand that both she and Jason loved boating and spent as much time on the water as they could, so it made perfect sense to shoot their engagement session by the water. We emailed so much, back and forth, that by the time we met up with them it felt like we´d known each other for ages and we had the best afternoon wandering the streets of Óbidos, followed by a visit to the lagoon and then, while sharing a seafood dinner after the shoot, Annie handed a prawn head to Jason and said “you gotta suck the brains out, thats the best bit!”… we knew right then that we were going to get along just fine. Their wedding was amazing, such a great way to start the season… but you will have to wait a little bit longer for that, to keep you going until then, these are some of our favourites from their e-session.

Miriam & Thierry are from Switzerland and are coming out to get married in Lisbon later this year, together with the newest addition to their family (and the cutest 3 month old baby ever!) We met up with them a few weeks ago while they were in Portugal to finalise their wedding details and we took advantage of a sunny afternoon in downtown Lisbon to capture a few photos of this gorgeous little family. They have a few surprises up their sleeves and we have a sneaky suspicion that their destination wedding is going to be unlike any other… we can’t wait! Continue reading
Harriet and Hugo are another loved-up couple getting married in our part of the world… they live and work in London town but since Hugo´s family is all here in Lisbon, they decided to head south to Portugal for their wedding, which will be at the Quinta de Sant´Ana later this summer. They came down to visit a few weeks ago and managed (unfortunately) to catch the last of the rainy weather here on the coast, but being the brave and adventurous souls that they are (a trademark of all our couples!) they bundled up warmly and we hit the streets of Ericeira for a windy photo session. Thanks for a great afternoon guys, and we´ll see you again soon! xx Continue reading
Robyn and Nicky have been coming Ericeira for surfing holidays since forever… they have an apartment just around the corner from ours and visit these famous Portuguese waves as often as they possibly can, escaping the rainy Irish weather. So of course when it came time to plan their wedding, this part of the world was a pretty obvious choice. We spent a lovely (and surprisingly sunny!) afternoon with them on the beach a little while ago and are excited to work with them again soon… theirs will be one of our first weddings of 2013 and we are itching to get back into action!

So, as usual during the winter, things have been a bit slow on the blog… apologies for having abandoned you all for the last few months, but things are about to get started again! We have a bunch of e-sessions lined up and wedding season 2013 is about to kick off, but to keep you going until then… this is a little bit of what we’ve been up to lately. (via Instagram)
Pois, como é normal durante o inverno, as coisas abrandam um pouco aqui no blog… as nossas desculpas por vos termos abandonado nestes últimos meses, mas as coisas estão quase a começar novamente! Temos um monte de e-sessions agendadas e a época de casamentos de 2013 está prestes a arrancar. Para vos entreter até lá… mostramos um bocadinho do que temos andado a fazer ultimamente.
