DESTINATION / PORTUGAL
Portugal has to be my new favourite place for destination weddings!
Covering weddings from the Algarve to Lisbon, Porto to the Douro Valley
MY TOP 4 LOCATIONS FOR
WEDDINGS IN PORTUGAL
Lisbon
Lisbon is an adventurous, romantic, and vibrant city that is ideal for those who love 'getting lost' and exploring its many winding, cobblestoned streets either in search for the perfect Pastéis de Nata, a romantic meal in a restaurant, or stunning sunsets and views of the Tagus River. In the summer, the city comes alive with street artists and live music, and as I've experienced firsthand, it has its own delightful charms and a never-lacking party atmosphere in the winter too. Absolutely unforgettable!
Douro Valley
I can't tell you how much I fell in love with the Douro valley went I went to photograph a wedding last year! A hidden gem nestled in the heart of Northern Portugal is a place of natural beauty and wine culture. As I drove through the winding roads, I fell in love with lush green vineyards and rolling hills but especially at sunset, casting a golden glow over the landscape, making it seem like a scene straight out of a painting. One of my favourite wedding venues in the area is the magnificent Six Senses, a perfect luxurious place to get married with all your friends & family.
The Algarve
The Algarve is one of the most perfect places for holidays but it definitely shouldn't be forgotten about when it comes to weddings. From its picturesque beaches and crystal-clear waters to its charming villages and historic landmarks, there is something for everyone in this southernmost region of Portugal. With an array of coastal towns and cities from Faro the capital, Portimão, Lagos to historic towns such Silves. All of these cities offer a unique experience and different activities, but they all share one common denominator, the beautiful beaches and the sea. It is a location where your wedding guests can enjoy not only the wedding but a mini holiday as well.
Porto
Porto, a city of winding streets, charming architecture, and vibrant culture. Known for its historic old town, picturesque streets, and delicious port wine, Porto is a city that will leave a lasting impression on all who visit but 100% will be a wedding to remember. The city's Ribeira district, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a maze of narrow streets and colourful houses that seem to cling to the steep hillside. One of my favourite parts of Porto was the intricately designed ceramic tiles adorning buildings throughout the city, known as 'azulejos' they're simply stunning and make a gorgeous backdrop for photographs.
FAQ / Portugal WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY
How long will you stay before and after our wedding in Portugal?
For destination weddings, I like to arrive at least a day before the wedding, so I can get to know the area and the venue and find the best locations for photographs. In some cases, I would arrive 2 days before I can make it to the wedding in good time. I would normally fly out the day after the wedding.
Will there be any extra costs for destination wedding photography?
Yes, the amount depends on which package you select. For the top package with two photographers for weddings in Europe, I add a flat fee of £800 for flights, accommodation, rental car and any other travel expense. For the favourite package weddings in Europe, I add a flat fee of £600 for expenses. For international weddings outside Europe, please get in touch.
How do we go about booking you for our Portugal destination wedding?
Wherever the location for your wedding firstly get in touch and check my availability for your date. If I'm available, then all you will need to do is pay a 20% non-refundable retainer (This will guarantee that no else books me for your wedding date) from the price of the package you select and sign an online contract to secure my services. The expenses will need to be paid eight months before the weddings, so I can purchase my flight and finally the remaining balance one month before your wedding date.
Why choose me over a local photographer?
So you could definitely choose a local photographer over a travelling destination wedding photographer but sometimes each country has a unique style and method to wedding photographer. Do your research on photographers in the country of your wedding, if you don't feel the style is right for your day then a destination photographer is the way to go.
