This engagement photo shoot was so good, I miss going for a walk in this beautiful neighbourhood and taking pictures of all sorts of details! Joana and Drew met in NY and now they live in London. He's American and she's Portuguese and so they chose our country to get married back in 2018. They got married in Forte da Cruz, in Estoril and it was such a wonderful celebration!
This photo shoot was exactly how I love the photo shoots to be, relaxed and fun, starting right before the sunset to enjoy the beautiful golden hour in Lisbon.
Principe Real is one of my favourite places in Lisbon for engagement photo sessions—full of charm, colours, and hidden corners that feel intimate and authentic. The mix of beautiful architecture, tall trees, and that golden Lisbon light gives each photo a warm and timeless feel. It's the perfect setting for couples who want a laid-back and romantic vibe for their pre-wedding shoot.
Lisbon is truly a dream for destination weddings and engagement photography, and Joana and Drew's story is a great example. They chose Forte da Cruz in Estoril, a magical wedding venue overlooking the Atlantic, filled with history and elegance, exactly what they were looking for. If you're planning a wedding in Portugal or looking for an engagement photographer in Lisbon, this city has endless inspiration and light that turns every photo into something special.
