An American in Sintra

One day, Carolina and Craig met. She is Portuguese, he is American. It happened in Lisbon.

Later, when they decided to marry, they chose to place a celebration and a wedding feast at Quinta da Penha Longa. The Penha Longa Hotel served as a place of preparation for the bride and groom. In the magnificent environmental area of the Serra de Sintra, the day was bright sun, blue sky and the green of the trees and plants could not be more according to what was happening during the day. Making wedding photography in a space like this constitutes an opportunity that the wedding photographer can not be lost.

A stunning setting for wedding photos

The ceremony took place in the beautiful Penha Longa Church, which offers the wedding photographer a stunning atmosphere and gives the ceremony all the importance it has.

For the party the place was dressed to match the dinner, the conviviality and the dance perpetuated the night away.

I must thank the great sympathy of Carolina and Craig as well as their families from here and from the Atlantico.

Thank you.
