We met up with Lura and Simon for an afternoon beer on the sunny Luz beach. Their wedding was going to take place the following day and and we were excited to chat to them about it. They were super chill and “on holiday mode”! We could tell this was going to be an easy going and fun wedding.
The ceremony was pretty and sweet, and the reception at Fortaleza restaurant was beautiful. It had a kind of medieval royal look to it with an armoured suit standing guard (holding the seating chart) and stone walls with rod iron chandeliers, a fire place and various medieval shields and swords hanging on the walls – fairytale like indeed.
The late summer sunset was amazing over the cliffs and the bridal party braved a walk along the edge for some photos…
…there were only a few thistle related injuries sustained.
We explored a bit more of the cliff top and beach with Laura and Simon. On the way back we met a cat who mistook Laura’s dress for a great fort and hid underneath, making herself at home.
