It was late spring in Portugal but it felt so much like summer. Long hot days and warm clear nights. We have been so excited all year for our road trip to Ourem and it was finally here. Mike and Nancy’s destination wedding was just around the corner. Their venue in Ourem, Quinta de S. Gens, is a working vineyard just on the outskirts of town, we couldn’t wait to get there and explore the grounds.
When we arrived in Ourem we got together with Mike and Nancy for their engagement session inside the walls of the old historic town perched on a hilltop. We had a blast walking around the old cobblestone streets and wildflower fields.
People flew from all over the world to be a part of this celebration but as it turns out Mike flew the furthest as he was coming from Japan over multiple flights and layovers.
The day before the wedding, friends and family – the international wedding committee – were at the venue, decorating, arranging, DIYing. We were there too, checking out the Quinta. We instantly fell in love with their outdoor ceremony venue, a long stone isle under tall trees.
Finally the wedding day was here and that’s where this story begins…Mike + Nancy, a wedding in Ourem.
