German Couple's Renewal Photoshoot

The place

Lisbon & Sintra

A capital of hills and river light, with Sintra’s misty palaces and the Atlantic cliffs just to the west.

September is one of the easiest months to marry here.

How the light falls there

The coast faces west, so the sun goes down straight into the Atlantic — the best portraits happen in the last hour on the cliffs. In the city the river catches the evening light; Sintra’s mist turns hard sun into soft, even light.
