Robin & Nick
An Outdoor Alentejo Wedding


Robin and Nick wanted a wedding that felt like an escape—something intimate, immersed in nature, and filled with personal touches. They found exactly that in Alentejo, a region known for its vineyards, warm light, and unhurried way of life.

The Love Story

Planning their destination wedding from abroad, Robin and Nick were drawn to Portugal for its laid-back atmosphere and rich traditions. They envisioned a celebration where good food, great wine, and the people they loved most took center stage.

  • A newlywed couple walks hand in hand through an olive grove near a historic stone tower, bathed in golden sunset light.
  • Bride and groom walking hand-in-hand towards an ancient castle, enjoying a romantic moment at sunset.
  • Bride and groom exchanging rings in a sunlit outdoor setting, smiling as they share a private moment.
  • Bride and groom standing close, gazing at each other in the golden hour sunlight, surrounded by ruins and trees.
  • Bride and groom embrace under the trees in a black-and-white wedding portrait.
  • Bride smiles softly while standing under an olive tree, with the groom blurred in the background.

the Perfect Venue

They exchanged vows in a historic castle overlooking the countryside, a location that carried both charm and a sense of history. With open views stretching across Alentejo’s rolling hills, the ceremony felt both meaningful and deeply personal.
Afterward, the celebration moved to L’And Vineyards, a contemporary wine estate blending modern architecture with nature. Guests sipped custom cocktails and enjoyed a long, laughter-filled dinner before heading to the dance floor.

  • The groom and his groomsmen share a laugh against a minimalist white wall with sharp shadows, under a bright blue sky.
  • A beautifully decorated long wedding reception table with floral arrangements, candles, and elegant glassware.
  • Bride standing in a modern, minimalist white space, holding a bouquet and looking down softly.
  • A colorful wedding flower arrangement featuring pink dahlias, roses, and exotic blooms in a white vase on a wooden table.
  • Ancient stone ruins on a hilltop in Portugal, framed by tree branches, with a winding road leading up to the site.

The CEREMONY Plan

The day was relaxed. From the warm glow of the castle ceremony to the late-night festivities at L’And Vineyards, every detail reflected Robin and Nick’s love for adventure, good company, and simple elegance.

  • A beautifully carved stone archway from a historic ruin, leading to a sunlit grove with an olive tree.
  • A smiling bride and groom participate in a wine box ceremony, sealing a wooden wine crate on a rustic barrel with a historic ruin in the background.
  • A close-up of a wooden wine box featuring an engraved crest and the phrase "In Vino Veritas," with a rustic hammer resting on top.
  • A romantic outdoor wedding ceremony set against the backdrop of ancient medieval ruins, with guests seated under umbrellas and the couple standing near a historic stone archway.
  • Bride smiling lovingly at her groom during their heartfelt wedding vows in natural sunlight.
  • Bride and groom share an intimate first dance outdoors, surrounded by guests, captured in a timeless black and white style.

The Attire

Robin’s dress was understated yet elegant, with delicate lace details that felt effortlessly timeless. Nick chose a tailored suit with classic lines—refined without being too formal, perfectly in tune with the setting.

  • A close-up of elegant white bridal heels adorned with delicate beaded floral appliqués, resting on a wooden surface.
  • The bride stands against a white wall, holding a bouquet of wildflowers, her veil draping softly over her shoulder.

  • Groom's wedding accessories including a leather strap watch, a boutonnière, and a beaded bracelet on a wooden table.
  • Groom in a navy suit checking his watch while sitting in a modern setting.

Capturing the Moments


From the anticipation before the ceremony to the energy on the dance floor, the entire day was filled with personality. A mix of quiet moments, spontaneous laughter, and a few unexpected twists (including some impressive dance moves) made this wedding a joy to photograph.
