Beach paradise in Portugal. On location at Vila Vita Parc.

Algarve. The coastline is raw and romantic, where golden cliffs melt into the Atlantic. It was the perfect setting for a swimwear editorial designed to feel effortless, intimate, and alluring.

Bare feet on warm sand. Salt in the air. The slow rhythm of waves. The subtle glint of gold catching the sun.

Shot along the southern coast of Portugal, this editorial captures a model in a vibrant yellow bikini. Yellow catches light in a way few shades can. It radiates warmth, confidence, and freedom. Paired with sculptural gold jewellery, the look balances minimalism with quiet luxury, echoing the tones of the Algarve itself.

A location that invites stillness and sensuality all at once. 

 

Destination Wedding in Portugal at Monte do Serrinho

Some weddings feel like a perfectly written story, layered, emotional, and full of moments you never want to forget. This destination wedding in Portugal was exactly that, bold, joyful, deeply personal, and overflowing with love.

We first met Fred and Negina a year before their wedding, windswept on the wild west coast of Portugal for an epic engagement session. Dramatic cliffs, crashing waves, and that unmistakable Atlantic mood set the tone for what was to come. From the beginning, it was clear they weren’t interested in anything ordinary. They wanted feeling. Energy. Colour. And a celebration that reflected who they are, warm, expressive, and wildly in love.

Fast forward to their wedding day, tucked away in the interior of the Algarve, where the landscape softens into rolling hills and sun-baked earth tones. The venue felt like a hidden escape, timeless, and intimate.

The florals were nothing short of spectacular. Bold, colourful, and expressive and danced in the sunlight. Rich pinks, fiery oranges, deep reds, and unexpected textures that twisted and bloomed in every direction. A floral story that felt alive, joyful, and full of movement.

At times it felt as though we’d wandered down a sunlit path, followed a flutter of colour, and found ourselves somewhere wonderfully unexpected.

The day itself was a symphony of laughter and tears. Quiet, emotional moments slipped effortlessly into bursts of uncontrollable joy. Vows were met with trembling voices and misty eyes, followed almost immediately by laughter echoing through the courtyard. This was the kind of wedding where emotions were celebrated.

Destination weddings in Portugal offer such a rich blend of light, texture, and atmosphere. We love documenting the day and preserving a feeling. The laughter, the tears, the colour, the chaos, the quiet in-between moments. A love story that began on the rugged west coast and unfolded into something unforgettable in the heart of the Algarve.

Surprise Engagement Proposal in Portugal

Epic cliffside engagement proposal with rough ocean waves in the Algarve, Portugal


This autumn, we had the pleasure of photographing a truly unforgettable destination engagement proposal along the dramatic cliffs of the Algarve in Portugal. Moments filled with emotion, wild beauty, and quiet intimacy.

The proposal took place high above the Atlantic Ocean, on the Algarve’s iconic cliffs, where the coastline stretches endlessly in both directions. With vast views over the sea and rugged rock formations below, the setting felt epic and cinematic. 

Autumn brought a moody romance to the landscape: powerful waves crashing against the cliffs, salty air, and soft light filtering through passing clouds. It was raw, emotional, and incredibly atmospheric, The perfect backdrop for a once in a lifetime moment.

As the waves thundered below, the proposal unfolded in complete privacy. The wind, the movement of the sea, and the sheer scale of the landscape created a sense of timelessness. It was a reminder of why so many couples choose the Algarve for their engagement or wedding photography, the scenery alone tells a story.

After the proposal, we continued the engagement session down on the beach. The mood shifted beautifully from epic to intimate. Barefoot in the sand, the couple laughed, played, and simply enjoyed being present together. Between moments of joy and movement, there were also quiet pauses, reflective, tender, and deeply romantic. These in between moments are often our favourites, where real connection shines through.

For couples dreaming of a destination wedding in Portugal, or for those planning a surprise proposal anywhere in Europe, Portugal offers something truly special. From dramatic cliffs to peaceful beaches, it allows for engagement photography that feels both adventurous and deeply personal.

Photographing proposals like this isn’t just about documenting the moment, it’s about telling the beginning of a story, honestly and beautifully, in a place that will always hold meaning.

The Spring Summer 2025 campaign for Magic Linen clothing brand unfolded beneath the soft light of the Algarve, a region where golden cliffs meet endless stretches of white sand. This season’s story celebrates natural textures, quiet luxury, and the timeless appeal of linen.

The shoot took place along the southern coastline of the Algarve, where ocean winds and soft dunes created an atmosphere of calm sophistication. Our model embodied the essence of the collection, graceful yet grounded, confident yet relaxed. Barefoot on the sand, wrapped in layers of fine linen, she moved with quiet poise, reflecting the campaign’s message of understated luxury.

Alongside the stills, we created a short campaign film, a cinematic ode to the rhythm of spring. The film captures the sensation of light and movement. The way linen flutters in the breeze, the gentle hush of the ocean, and the serenity of slow, intentional living.

The result is more than a campaign, it’s an invitation to feel the season, to embrace the warmth of the Algarve and the effortless beauty of linen.

What our couples have to say about us

 

Eve & Harry

 

We are immensely grateful for the exceptional work of Matt and Lena, our wedding photographers. Their talent and dedication shone through as they skillfully captured every precious moment of our special day. The photos are not just images; they are beautiful memories that transport us back to the joy, emotion, and beauty of our celebration. Matt and Lena's professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail exceeded our expectations. We wholeheartedly recommend them to couples seeking photographers who can turn their wedding moments into timeless treasures. Thank you, Matt and Lena, for beautifully documenting the magic of our day!

 

 

 

 

 

Zachary Polonus Zack + Melody West Cost Engagement

 

We had such a wonderful experience with Matt and Lena! They are such passionate and amiable people and totally incredible photographers. The proof is in the pictures and they were beyond our greatest expectation!

 

 

 

 

 

Shea Cole Shea + Felix Wedding in Monchique, Portugal

 

Everyone at our wedding commented on how great they were and the fact that they stayed until the very end capturing photos of our event. The photos are breathtaking, and people are still raving over them. They made us a slide show with music, and our family members keep playing it over and over at every event and saying how it was the most beautiful day. Matt & Lena captured it perfectly. Our album reads like a storybook. Thank you Matt & Lena!

 

 

 

 

 

Jessica Boland Jess + Bruce Algarve Engagement

 

Matt and Lena picked the most amazing beach for our shoot - somewhere we would have never discovered otherwise. We had so much fun and they made us feel really comfortable. It was overall an amazing experience and I would definitely love to work with them again if we are back in Portugal!

 

 

 

 

 

Jessie Hawthorn Jessie and Jonathan, Wedding in Luz, Portugal

 

Matt + Lena were so amazing to work with before, during and after the wedding! They paid so much attention to detail and really listened to ensure we were happy with our pictures. My husband and I came from Canada to get married in the Algarve so we didn't have the chance to meet with Matt + Lena in person ahead of time. I could tell by their pictures (of course they are stunning!!) but also their professionalism, prompt email responses and overall ease of communication that it was going to be a perfect fit! We were thrilled with our beautiful pictures and have received so many compliments that they look like pictures out of a magazine and that they truly capture our love and the story of our big day! They scouted out all the great spots for us ahead of time, ensuring the lighting would be just right, and I just adore their style of photography - so natural and genuine. Thank you again so much for giving us these pictures we will cherish forever!! xx

 

 

 

 

 

Adam Cummings Maria + Adam, Wedding in Sintra, Portugal

 

We got married at the Quinta in Cintra and my wife found Matt and Lena somehow on the internet. In all the craziness of organising a wedding, they were one of the few constants. Always organized, and very prepared (they even went on a trip from Alvor to Lisbon to check out the light in the area!). The wedding day was exceptional as they popped up around the place like Ninjas - you will never be able to see them both - making sure to get loads of genuine shots of everyone from dawn til dusk. Very highly recommended

 

 

 

 

 

Laur D Laura and Jonathon, Elopement in the Algarve

 

My husband and I traveled from Toronto to Portugal for our elopement and we were so fortunate that Matt and Lena were available on our wedding day. Throughout the booking process they were quick to respond to emails and set a Skype date to go over all of the logistics for our day, as well as to answer any questions we had - and we had a lot! Matt and Lena were very social and created a comfortable environment which was great since it was just the four of us during the six hour photo shoot. The photos turned out stunning and we have received compliments from everyone who has seen them. The photos really captured the nuance moments throughout the day in a very natural way and we will cherish them forever. Thank you Matt and Lena for being part of our day and for making the experience such a pleasure!

 

 

 

 

 

Natacha Manuel Natacha + Manuel, Beach Wedding Algarve

 

Matt and Lena were recommended to us by our wedding planner, Susana Santos. We were sold from the get-go (just take a look at their beautiful pictures!), and meeting them in person only reaffirmed that we had made the right decision. We were a bit iffy about doing an engagement shoot but it was a great idea in the end as we got to be very comfortable with Matt and Lena which made things far easier on the actual wedding day! The pictures are fabulous and a year after our wedding people are still commenting on just how beautiful the photos are. All in all, definitely a great choice and we heartily recommend them to anyone who is getting married! In fact, a couple who were at our wedding ended up booking them for their wedding! :)

 

 

 

 

 

Jelena Pinto Jelena + Joao, Wedding at Os Agostos, Portugal

 

Me and my husband got married last year in the south of Portugal and we still have family and friends raving about the beauty and elegance of our photographs. Matt and Lena take photographs that we will cherish forever. They are also a pleasure to work with. They make you feel comfortable and they get to know your style and personality. What first caught my eye about their work is the romantic feel and lighting of each photograph. Each photograph feels set in a natural and authentic manner. It's a staple of their professionalism and dedication to the work they do. Thank you Matt and Lena for your dedication and grace on our special day. :D
