The place

Comporta

Rice fields, pine woods and endless dunes south of Lisbon — barefoot, unhurried and full of sea light.

June is one of the easiest months to marry here.

The light

How the light falls there

The beaches face west, so the sun sets over the ocean, and the flat land gives a long, slow golden hour across the dunes and fields. Midday sun on white sand is harsh — the best photographs come early and late.
