Wedding photographers in Portugal
Kinds of wedding
Destination wedding
You fly in, your guests fly in: several days, a welcome dinner, a beach the morning after.
You fly in, your guests fly in, and the wedding becomes a few days together: a welcome dinner, the day itself, a beach or a boat the morning after.
Portugal is a short flight from much of Europe, has a long season and is easy to explain to guests. What changes for the photographs is time: more days, more moments, more of your people meeting each other.
Good to know
Ask about more than one day
Many photographers can cover the welcome dinner or a session the day after. Compare packages that include travel and extra days, not just the wedding day.
The best months go first
Popular dates fill up first, at venues and with photographers. Hold your date with a deposit once you are sure.
The paperwork is separate
Marrying legally in Portugal as foreigners takes documents and time; many destination couples marry at home and celebrate here. Read the guide, and check with the Conservatória.
