Miki and Paulo’s wedding was sent to us all the way from Portugal by Quem Casa Quer Fotos and there are just so many things that I love about their wedding, I’m not too sure where to start. Not only did they manage to incorporate three different cultures into their big day (Paulo’s parents are Portuguese and Miki is Japanese) they planned everything from the UK.

Brian and Vera_384

We are flying to Portugal today and in particular, to small town called Vila Praia de Ancora near the beach in the North of Portugal. Our couple, Brian and Vera who have been together for 6 years, travelled all the way from NYC for their big day which was captured by the very talented Lounge Fotografia.

The boys are up first and remind us just why we love destination weddings.. there is something about the sun and being away that allows us all to chill out, relax and enjoy ourselves.

We have an incredibly fun post for you today and think it might even encourage you to get out and about for some merriment on this sleepy Saturday morning.  Luis from Lounge Fotografia sent me a vibrant, colouful and down right deadly trash the dress shoot earlier this week and I’ve had to wait for our “Local Inspiration” day to show it to you. Lounge Fotografia are based in Infesta, near Porto in Portugal and we are so thrilled to be showing you Claudia and Hugos photosession as it is not one that is hugely popluar outside of the States. Oh and it is our first Trash the Dress at FAB! Be warned, this is not for the faint of heart and we certainly hope you like roller coaster rides!

Meet Claudia and Hugo who were married in a very small and romantic church in Cedofeita – Porto only a few weeks earlier.

Joana & Mário’s Wedding in Lisbon, Portugal by Arc Fotografia

Joana + Mário Arc Fotografia_020

Every now and then we receive gorgeous weddings that are not strictly “destination” in the sense that the bride and groom are locals but the thing is, they are locals in cities and countries that don’t get featured enough on blogs around the world but also happen to be very popular cities and countries for destination weddings… so we have decided that we are most definitely going to feature them as they are an incredible resource for choosing things like the perfect venue, florist and hair stylists etc. So today, we are very excited to show you the wedding of a Portugese couple, Joana and Mário’s who were married in the gorgeous city of Lisbon, Portugal. Their photographer, André of Arc Fotografia captured all the magic of this “Midsummer Night’s Dream” inspired wedding.

Palace Ruins Wedding in Portugal by Piteira Photography

Piteira Photography - Portugal Wedding Photographers 003

The wedding I have the delight in bringing to you today is located in the most beautiful 16th century palace and chapel ruins in Portugal. Photographed by Kerry and Luis of Piteira Photography, a husband and wife wedding photography team based in Lisbon, Portugal.

Hilary and Peter got married in September 2010 in front of 150 friends and family, most of whom had flown out from Ireland for the event. In true Irish style there was lots of laughter, tears, singing, dancing and, or course, the drinks were freely flowing!


The wedding and reception took place in a small town close to Sintra, Portugal at the Paço d’Ilhas Guest House, the partially restored ruins of a 16th century palace and chapel. The entire event was outdoors, with the ceremony in amongst the walls of the ruins and the reception dinner-and-dancing in the gardens of the guest house.
