Destination Wedding | Portugal Wedding Photographer

Marty and Steven are one of those couples that make you believe, once again, in the lightness of love. Coming from Edinburgh, they brought with them a calm and intimate energy, full of spontaneous laughter and those meaningful glances that say everything without needing a single word.

Photographing them felt like witnessing a beautiful conversation between two hearts — natural, genuine, and filled with little stories that are felt more than explained. What makes their story even more special is that everything began with kizomba — the dance that brought them together, helping them find each other’s rhythm and sparking a connection that quickly grew into something deeper. During the session, it was impossible not to notice how that same harmony still lives in every gesture, every soft touch, every shared smile.

As a wedding photographer in Portugal, working with couples like Marty and Steven constantly reminds me why I love what I do. They embody the true spirit of destination weddings: two people who travel, explore, experience life, and find in love their safe harbour. Their story is the kind that makes us value the beauty of real emotions, a love that’s light, warm, and truly lived.

The wedding became the perfect reflection of that — warm tones, natural movement, and stolen moments that later turn into timeless memories. For anyone searching for inspiration, authenticity, and genuine connection, this is the kind of love that makes all the difference. And it’s exactly this kind of story that I’m proud to photograph and transform into images that can be felt and relived over and over again.
