Aygin & Bastian’s Wedding at Casa Sacoto – Portugal’s West Coast


Under a golden delicious light, Aygin and Bastian celebrated their love in a intimate celebration with their closest people. With rolling vineyards as their backdrop, every detail from the quiet moments before the ceremony to the dinner under the stars, their day reflected the warmth and authenticity of their love together. It was a day full of love, laughs, and great memories.

The Love Story

Aygin and Bastian are a creative, musical and stylish couple. These two don’t just love each other—they live their love. The way they look at each other, the way they kiss like they’re in a movie finale. It was an inspiration and a joy to photograph. They live in Amsterdam, but for their wedding, they packed their bags and headed to Portugal’s west coast for a celebration that was as vibrant as they are.

the Perfect Venue

Casa Sacoto is an amazing boutique venue, designed for people with impeccable taste. Whitewashed walls, crisp lines, and vineyards rolling into the horizon like a painting you’d want to live in. The vibe? Cozy, intimate, and effortlessly chic. And just to turn up the magic a little more, the dinner was set up outside, under fairy lights and a sky full of stars—because if you’re going to celebrate love, you might as well do it with some cinematic flair.

The CEREMONY Plan

The ceremony took place in the venue’s courtyard, kissed by warm golden light, with clear blue skies and not a single rain cloud in sight. The ceremony was infused with a few Persian traditions, from Aygin heritage which meant extra layers of meaning, a touch of poetry, and, of course, a lot of laughs. Their son was right there with them, probably wondering why his parents were being extra romantic all of a sudden, but definitely soaking up the moment and following all the ceremony moments.

The Attire

This was not your average “nice wedding outfits” situation. Aygin and Bastian brought style. Effortless, cool, ‘we woke up like this’ kind of style. Think clean cuts, elegant details, and just the right amount of “yes, we’re stylish, but not trying too hard, it just happens naturally.” The warm, colorful décor blended perfectly with their look, making every single moment feel like a styled editorial except completely real, with real emotions and a lot more dancing.

Capturing the Moments


And the moments! The cocktail hour was pure happiness! Lots of great cocktails and great food by the pool, tight hugs, and guests laughing out loud. The dinner under the stars? Epic. The dance floor? A whole movie. Aygin led the charge, because … obviously! And Bastian was right there with her, proving that love is best expressed through a solid beat and some questionable (but enthusiastic) dance moves.
This was a good day! And I had the privilege to be there and captured it all! I loved every minute and I want to thank you guys for inviting me to be there!
