Kyla + Sam, Destination Wedding in Western Algarve

Kyla and Sam are from Perth Australia.

All their guest too!

A dream destination wedding in Portugal and a holiday for all.

The pair tied the knot at Vila Monte Cristo in Lagos. Their wedding in western Algarve was an intimate and pretty ceremony held outside in the garden. The reception was a laid back BBQ on the property. A super chilled and relaxed party with family and friends.

After the wedding Sam and Kyla’s plans are to travel along the west coast of Portugal looking for great surfing spots! Later they will continue their journey from the north of Portugal to France and Italy. A fantastic adventure for the newlyweds!

Lucy Fox: Portugal Wedding Celebrant  |  Tom Longhurst at Algarve Marquees – festoon & fairy lighting set-up  |  Dj Souza & Kaleidosonix | Venue: Casa Monte Cristo

.   .   .

The coast west of Lagos, as far as Sagres, remains one of the least spoiled and most beautiful parts of the Algarve, largely thanks to the Parque Natural da Costa Vicentina.  Most of the coast is linked by a craggy coast path and you can easily walk between the villages: Salema to Luz, or Luz to Lagos, in particular, are beautiful routes.

Lagos is one of the Algarve’s most attractive and historic towns, its centre is enclosed in fourteenth-century walls at the mouth of the Ribeira de Bensafrim. For all its historical significance, Lagos’s main attraction is its proximity to some of the region’s best beaches. To the east is the long sweep of Meia Praia, while to the west – from Praia de Dona Ana to Porto de Mós– you’ll find the series of coves, caves and rock stacks for which the Algarve is best known.

Milly + Dan, Farm Wedding in NSW Australia

So we kicked off this year with a trip to New Zealand!

An adventure we have been wanting to go on for a long time. We rented a camper van and off we went for three weeks to explore the south island!

As our plans were coming together last summer we got an e mail from Milly and Dan. A couple of Aussies in love, planing a spring wedding at a horse ranch and farm a little bit south of Sydney.  We were more then ecstatic when we received the email, it was an honour for us to be asked to shoot a wedding such a long distance away. It was serendipitous that we were planning to be in New Zealand around this time and were so excited to see a bit of Australia as well.

The Terrara House Estate is a country wedding venue with old stables, they now take care of rescue horses. It is a beautiful house with lots of charm and 18th century french aesthetic. Milly and Dan loved the wide open space, all the greenery and the beautiful horses in the vast fields.

It was an incredible celebration, so full of love and life, laughter and happy tears.

Personal & Playful: Dan + Zia’s Destination Wedding in Portugal

The priority for Dan and Zia on their destination wedding day was to fill both the ceremony and reception with as much personality and playfulness as possible, without taking away from the serious sentiment of the day. They struck the balance perfectly with Sci-Fi inspired stationery and music choices, personalised vows, surprise readings and a divine Monique L’Huillier dress for Zia. Matt and Lena Photography documented the day which we think is the perfect inspiration for any of you who want to do a destination wedding that bit differently…

Cooka’s Cookies: “We are passionate about baking Wholesome, healthy, and 100% natural cookies for dogs. We just want to be perfect in what we do: Bake excellent cookies with the best ingredients for the best dogs – This is what we bake in our home kitchen – literally!

We harvest and use the best ingredients from local farms. We work with honest and caring fishmongers and butchers from surrounding villages to source the best.

Cookies are made in small batches to be as fresh as possible and always tested on humans – …one of them my husband… who actually adores them!” – Aline

.   .   .

Photographing Aline and Alex with their Weimaraner puppies was awesome!  They are truly madly in love with their dogs and care deeply about their health and well being.  Cooka’s Cookies is Aline and Alex’s passion project that’s been in the making for years.  They have based themselves in Portugal, but hope to take their brand worldwide – to provide healthy and delicious food to all dogs, everywhere.

.   .   .

Getting to know Aline and Alex was a “treat”.  For the shoot we stayed at their ‘in-the-making’ Bella Vista Boutique Farm in Sintra, Portugal.  They approached us about shooting their brand campaign in March of this year.  It was a proposal to capture them and their life on the farm with their 3 Weimaraner and 10 puppies!  It was a wonder we got any work done as they were so cute to play with!  Aline was a super entertaining host with many fascinating stories from her past as a model in LA and the south of France.  She was even photographed by  Steven Meisel early in her career – Sorry, I just had to name drop – I think it’s so cool!  Anyways over the 2 days we photographed Aline baking, shopping with Cooka at a local market, hanging out at the beach and their home with all their lovely dogs.

It was a total blast!

Over two days we photographed Aline baking all kinds of different doggy treats, shopping with Cooka at a local market, hanging out at the beach and at home with her husband Alex and all their lovely dogs. Even taking her goat for a walk around the Farm – just a typical day at the Bella Vista!

It was a total blast!

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
