Step into a whimsical world of romance as we transport you to Ligia and Pedro’s enchanting Portuguese wedding. Behind the lens were Sofia and André, ensuring that every moment was nothing short of magic. The couple’s inspiration blended classic charm with modern flair, as reflected in their soft pink and green color scheme, inspired by their historic reception venue, Quinta da Camarinha.
A thoughtful touch was added to the celebration through the inclusion of poetry, personal photos, and heartfelt words. Ligia’s chic wedding dress by Pronovias featured clean-cut tulle layers nipped at the waist with a sparkling belt, while her retro headpiece, crafted by her mother, completed her bridal look. To top it all off, she styled her hair into a classic ballerina bun.

Décor & Details
We aimed to capture the romantic ambiance of the venue by selecting a subtle color scheme featuring hues of pink, beige, and green. Sofia Ferreira and Branco Prata’s exceptional assistance in decorating the space allowed us to create an atmosphere that perfectly aligned with our personal style. The area was transformed into a unique setting through thoughtful arrangements of flowers, candles, words, and pictures.
In addition to their help, we also contributed to the decorations by crafting our own DIY elements, including colorful windmills, personalized menus, and a poignant poem that served as a backdrop for some of the photographs. A special touch came in the form of a Polaroid frame crafted by Pedro’s father.
The Photography & Videography
As I delved deeper into André of Branco Prata’s body of work, I couldn’t help but be captivated by his effortless yet deeply romantic aesthetic. It was as if his style had been tailor-made to capture the essence of our special day. Similarly, The Amazing Rabbit’s videography shared a harmonious synergy with André’s photography, as if they were two artistic souls destined to create magic together. The final product was truly a masterpiece that left us beaming with satisfaction.
Favourite Moment
While many moments from the wedding day will undoubtedly remain etched in my memory, it’s the vows that truly stand out as a poignant reminder of why we gather to celebrate love in the first place.
Advice For Other Couples
We were fortunate to have started planning five months in advance, which proved instrumental in securing our desired vendors on a Friday in May. The key takeaway here is that having professionals you click with can significantly impact the overall experience on the day itself. To fuel your inspiration and gather ideas, I recommend scouring the web daily, just as I did while following Branco Prata’s blog and Pinterest.
These platforms not only provide visual stimulation but also allow you to curate a personal style by saving and re-pinning images that resonate with you. We’d like to extend our gratitude to Ligia and Pedro for allowing us to share in their special day, as well as to Branco Prata for capturing the romantic essence of their celebration through his exquisite photographs. The florals, in particular, are truly breathtaking, don’t you agree? And can we just rave about that stunning venue.
