Algarve Beach Elopement, Alish + David

Algarve elopement Portugal elopement Algarve wedding photography Algarve wedding photography Portugal elopement photography

.   .   .

Alish and David eloped on a beach in the Algarve this Summer.  It was one of their first stops while backpacking through Portugal.  

We met up with them near a secluded clifftop to enjoy some amazing vistas of the Algarve coast line.  After a short hike down to the beach, Alish and David exchanged their vows under a natural rock arch in an emotional, intimate ceremony.  

We explored the rest of the beach until sunset when they had a romantic reception at Canico, a restaurant set in the rock formations looking over the ocean.

For their honeymoon they continued to backpack and camper van through Europe in their newlywed adventure!

A short distance from the look out point is an amazing beach, still empty in the early morning.  The pair was so smitten with each other and so full of energy it was lovely capturing all the spontaneous and intimate moments.

Love…

We are so excited to share Tom and Sharda’s beautiful and intimate wedding nestled in the hills of Tavira.

A wonderful bride and groom whose wedding day was as unique as they are.  From an adventurous portrait session at the Cacelha Velha look out point and a stroll thorugh historic Tavira town, to the lovely ceremony with so many special, personal touches, to a warm and intimate reception.  

It was a pleasure spending the day with these two and their families and capturing this amazing day full of love laughter and music.

On our way to the reception, discovering that the caterers were late, so the bride and groom were on hosting duty making sure their guests had wine and tapas!  It was a lovely little cocktail hour prior to the ceremony, slight panic at first but it all worked out and it was a lot of fun with all the family and friends coming together to help.

Personal Branding shoot for Shanti With Georgie @shantiwithgeorgie

We met up with Georgie to document her yoga and meditation session on the beach. A nomad Yoga teacher, Georgie travels to some of the most amazing places.  We loved meeting up with her when she was here in the Algarve to photograph a session for her start up brand.  It was a fun experience and we even picked up a few pointers on meditating and breath work.

We loved meeting up with these two for a morning engagement session on the beach! They were so amazing and fun, we had a few great laughs and got to know them a bit before their approaching wedding day.  These two waited 2 years to finally tie the knot and they could not be more excited.  Their wedding was a stunningly gorges event held at Os Agostos a few days later.

2022 has been a wild year, so full of wonderful celebrations, family reunions, and lots of lovely moments.  We are so excited to share the stories from this memorable time and look forward to all the amazing things to come in 2023!

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
