Wedding at Hotel Palácio Estoril * Joana + João

30 Apr ’18

And with this wedding at Hotel Palácio Estoril, our time travel to 2015 gets to the end! I had four weddings from that year that I really wanted to share with you, and all for different reasons, but there are so many common things among them. Love stories of people with a huge heart, who gather themselves by family and friends in any case less amazing than them and who planned a day filled with the most genuine emotion, not pretending to be something they are not, and with lots of color, music and those tight hugs that you always need in your life!

The wedding of Joana and João was exactly like this, it was one of those weddings that I must confess, from a certain point, I just wanted to put my camera away and just join the party, because the energy and joy were contagious! Joana is a jewellery designer and she is one of the most discreet persons I know, with kindness in her eyes and smile. João is a musician and he is part of musical groups as You Can't Win Charlie Brown and Diabo na Cruz, and he matches Joana perfectly in that way of being such a low-profile person. You can actually take a peek into their engagement session on the beach, minus the sunny day, ok?

Their wedding day started with some rain, but that soon didn't matter at all, because there was a party waiting to happen and a stage ready at the hotel, to invite all the musicians present at the wedding to sing and play at their own will! And of course that was the beginning of a tremendous celebration with everyone dancing and singing all night long! Asides de music part, Joana wore some of her own creations and a wedding dress by the one and only Pureza de Mello Breyner, with a detachable long skirt, so that when Joana needed to dance more freely, that would not be an issue! And these details actually made this day a memorable one for everyone there!
