Wedding videographer & photographer in Portugal
A French-Portuguese team fluent in English, French and Portuguese.
Portugal has become one of Europe's favourite wedding destinations, and it is easy to see why: a mild climate, rare light, exceptional palaces and quintas, renowned food and wine, all at a far more reasonable budget than France or Italy. But getting married in a foreign country whose language you do not speak can quickly get complicated. That is where we change the game: Catarina is Portuguese, Peter is French-Portuguese, and we work in English, French and Portuguese. We have already filmed several weddings in Portugal.
Portugal, an exceptional wedding destination
From north to south, Portugal offers a rare variety of settings for such a small country: the terraced vineyards of the Douro, the Port wine cellars, the romantic palaces of Sintra, the Cascais cliffs over the Atlantic, the golden plains of the Alentejo, the Algarve beaches. The sun is reliable from May to October, the suppliers are excellent, and Portuguese hospitality is legendary. For a filmed and photographed wedding, it is a magnificent playground, as long as you surround yourself with the right people.
A French-Portuguese team fluent in three languages
This is our real strength, and it makes all the difference. We speak English and French with you and your guests, and Portuguese with the venues, caterers, registrars and Portuguese families. Nothing gets lost in translation. A foreign videographer will not understand what is said around them; a Portuguese team will not tell your story to English-speaking guests. We bridge your two worlds, before and during the big day.
From north to south: Porto, the Douro, Lisbon, the Alentejo
Each region has its own character. Porto and the Douro Valley, with their wine quintas set above the river, for a warm and authentic mood. Lisbon, Sintra and Cascais, for the palaces, the ocean and a unique light. The Alentejo, for its wine estates and endless horizons. The Algarve, for a barefoot beach wedding. We cover the whole country and help you choose the region that fits you.
Marrying in Portugal as a foreign couple
The official civil ceremony is held in Portuguese before a registrar, and your documents (birth certificate, certificate of no impediment) must be translated into Portuguese and apostilled, submitted one to two months ahead. For a foreign couple, these steps are confusing. We do not replace your wedding planner, but our native Portuguese saves precious time: understanding a quote, talking to the town hall, clearing up a misunderstanding. You enjoy your day while we speak the country's language for you.
Our approach: a film and images true to your day
We film and photograph your wedding as it truly happens, with no endless posing or forced set-ups. The result is cinematic and refined, faithful to the real mood rather than to a formula. You leave with a film and photos that look like you, and that speak to your English-speaking and your Portuguese families alike.
