Wedding at Nossa Senhora da Serra, Sintra — Patrícia e Ivo — Portugal Wedding Photographer

Patrícia and Ivo were like a sweet, late-summer beach breeze - the perfect combination of warmth, tenderness, and joy. As a destination wedding photographer in Portugal, I was thrilled to capture their love story on their special day, which was filled with so much beauty and authenticity.

We did our pre-wedding photo shoot right before the wedding, which helped us to get to know each other better and to create a more relaxed and comfortable atmosphere on the big day. Even after having photographed over 100 weddings, I still feel nervous and excited before every shoot, which is a testament to how much I care about creating beautiful and meaningful images for my clients.

They got married at Quinta Nossa Senhora da Serra in Sintra, a beautiful and romantic venue surrounded by verdant gardens and stunning views of the Sintra Mountains. With its cottage-core atmosphere, this venue is the perfect place for a fairytale wedding.

Portugal really is a dream destination for couples who want to celebrate their love in style.

But let's get back to the real stars of the show - Patrícia and Ivo, and their adorable dog, Douro their dog who was present both at the session and on the wedding day - the hottest of the year!

This had us rethink our wedding and photos timeline and move some things around to avoid the heat wave and try to enjoy the day the best way possible, and of course, your photographer is always here to help out on this.

My beautiful couple always heard my opinion on what I thought was best and even tho the final decision was theirs, they always took what I had to say with utmost care.

Shall we check those photos???

We shall!
