Krista + Paul, Wedding in Portugal

wedding photography PortugalPortugal wedding photographer

.   .   .

Krista & Paul were married in Sintra, at a rustic Quinta nestled in the mountains.  It was a wonderful party with family and friends gathering from all over the world to celebrate the day in Portugal.  It was a destination wedding for the pair from Canada & U.S., they had never been to Portugal before so the wedding was an adventurous exploration of the awesome scenery the country has to offer – as well as all the amazing food, wine and hospitality!  In Classic style with a vintage twist Krista and Paul exchanged vows in the sunshine in front of the small stone chapel steps.  They dined alfresco style at a beautiful long table shaded by trees in bloom with a Portuguese bbq and abundance of delicious wine.  Exploring the grounds of the Quinta with the couple was magically romantic as a mix of sunshine & fog set in the evening…

Sacha + Shen, a Walk in Lisbon

Sacha and Shen visited Lisbon this Spring, they were in Portugal for a family wedding and wanted to explore the city.  We met up with them in Alfama in the drizzling afternoon and strolled though the narrow streets, colourful cul de sacs and open squares of Lisbon.  It rained on and off throughout the session adding to the sweet romantic mood, it was perfect!

Sarah + Ross, Barn Wedding in Surrey UK

.   .   .

Sarah and Ross were married near their family home in Surrey last Autumn.  We met the pair a few years back when Sarah’s brother Michael got married in the Algarve.  Sarah and Ross wanted to celebrate closer to home, their ceremony was conducted by Sarah’s grandfather at the beautiful St. Matthews church in Redhill.  Their reception was held at a converted barn all decked out for an incredible party!  Sarah hand made all the bunting adorning the ceiling of the barn and insisted on a fairy-light wonderland, it was truly stunning.

It was such a pleasure spending a few days with these guys and photographing their wedding.  We had a fun time exploring a bit of this picturesque English countryside, beautiful gardens, vast fields, stone cottages and grand victorian buildings.

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

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
