This destination wedding in Lisbon had so many interesting details that I just couldn't believe that I had the honour to capture this day! So let's start this with a few of these details! Joana and Andreas are both german and chose Portugal, more precisely Lisbon, actually even more precisely Ajuda area to get married. And though this could be yet another destination wedding in Portugal story, it has a few other details that make this a curious story.
Actually Joana was born here, her father worked for a few years in Oporto and Joana was born here, thus ending up spending her first years of life here. In the meantime they went back to Germany, but came back several times for holidays with her family and when Andreas came along, they both visited the country in a motorhome, so getting married here would make a lot of sense after all.
Of course that they found some issues, because being foreigner and wanting to get married in church, when no one speaks english in the parish... well, it was quite challenging to say the least! But they really wanted to get married here, and didn't give up, so their day happened in the most beautiful way!
Some other curious details about their wedding: their theme was tiles and Lisbon, so everything was covered in beautiful blue shade and they chose mainly women vendors for their wedding, being almost all Portuguese. Take note about the ring bearer made by the talented Jubela, Joana's make-up artist who is one of the most amazing ones in our country for sure - Joana Moreira, and flowers by Marta and Cata Vassalo with the gorgeous headpiece and yours truly doing the photography part!
I go through these images and sincerely miss this day! I hope you feel inspired by it!
