From Giveaway to Dream Day: An Unforgettable Portugal Wedding
When I teamed up with one of my favorite florists for an Instagram giveaway, I had no idea it would lead me to one of the most beautiful international weddings I've ever had the honor of photographing.
Jeverly was the lucky winner, and when I reached out to congratulate her, she shared that she and her partner were planning a destination wedding in Portugal. As someone with a deep love for travel, I was instantly intrigued. I couldn't resist asking her to hop on a Zoom call to dive into the details! From that very first chat, we hit it off, and it was clear this would be something special. What started with planning their courthouse wedding quickly blossomed into documenting all the moments of their big day in stunning Portugal.
Their Venue: Seamless and Stunning
If you're dreaming of a wedding abroad, Portugal is a hidden gem that checks all the boxes. Jeverly and her partner chose Quinta Do Torneiro for their celebration, and I highly recommend it to any couple considering a destination wedding here. Many of the venues in Portugal offer in-house options, which makes planning from afar so much easier and stress-free. It was seamless from start to finish—a dream for couples and vendors alike!
Special Moments I Can't Stop Thinking About
Oh, where do I begin? This wedding was filled with unforgettable moments that I still catch myself smiling about:
Their private vows – Intimate, heartfelt, and truly magical.
A first look with her mom and dad – Jeverly shared such an emotional moment with her parents, and it was so incredibly sweet to capture.
Including their fur babies – While their pups couldn’t attend in person, they were adorably honored on the cocktail napkins. Cue the happy tears!
From start to finish, the day was filled with love, connection, and little touches that made it uniquely theirs.
Advice for Couples Considering Portugal
If you’re planning a destination wedding, my biggest tip is to trust your venue and vendors. Portugal’s venues, like Quinta Do Torneiro, often include so many elements that make the process smooth and stress-free. It allows you to focus on the moments that matter most—like soaking in your best day ever with your favorite people.
Jeverly and Felix’s wedding was a beautiful reminder of how special it is to follow your heart, take a leap, and celebrate your love in a way that feels so perfectly you.
Dreaming of your own destination wedding or an intimate courthouse celebration? I’m always here to capture the magic, wherever your love takes you. Let’s create something unforgettable together!
