Sam and Lucinda know how to throw a party!  Their destination wedding in the Algarve was all about embracing the beauty of the country side, sharing a great meal with family and friends, and partying till dawn!  These guys are world travellers and always making friends wherever they go.  So naturally they had guests in attendance from literally everywhere!

Natacha + Manuel, Anniversary on Monte Clerigo

.   .   .

We have known Natacha and Manuel for ages, since we first met them in 2013 in Faro for their engagement session. We clicked instantly and we loved their quirkiness and their adventurous spirit. We had the best time documenting Natacha + Manuel’s wedding the following year, which was amazingly beautiful. We have kept in touch ever since and when Natacha e mailed us that she wanted to surprise Manuel with an anniversary shoot we were so ecstatic to see them again! We met up on Monte Clerigo Beach near Aljezur on Algarve’s west coast. We spent the afternoon catching up on each others lives and recent adventures. A couple of glasses of wine later we were ready to stroll around Monte Clerigo and take some fun photographs.

Justyna + Scott, Rustic Destination Wedding in Portugal

Matt+Lena Photography-1-2Matt+Lena Photography-1-3

.   .   .

Justyna and Scott tied the knot this summer at Quinta De Sant’Ana, a beautiful working vineyard in Portugal’s countryside.  Their intimate ceremony was held by the orange grove beside the rows of vines rising up into the hills.  The 2 lovebirds fell head over heels in love with Portugal the first time they visited from the UK.  Justyna is originally from Poland, so besides the wonderful wine there was lots of Polish vodka getting this party started!

“We both wanted to get married abroad. We liked the idea of having our friends and family in one place for a few days and enjoying the sunshine together. We started looking at European countries and different wedding photo blogs.  We fell in love with a photo story on your blog – it was Emma and Gerry who got married at Quinta de Sant’Ana. We then contacted the venue and it turned out to be everything that we were looking for.” – Justyna

Graeme + Sarah, Destination Wedding at Os Agostos, Portugal

.   .   .

Graeme and Sarah were married in Spring, in a beautiful outdoor ceremony in Os Agostos, Portugal.  They dined alfresco style in the gardens and strolled with us through the sun soaked orange orchard and pebble paths of the grounds.

It was a beautiful day filled with lots of love and laughs …

Louise + Simon, Destination Wedding in Portugal

.   .   .

Louise and Simon were married this Autumn in Sintra at a pretty Quinta nestled in the hills. When we first met Louise and Simon last winter we chatted about their love of photography, and their excitement over the wedding day – it was going be a great party, with a touch of rustic and vintage charm. They painted a beautiful picture of their dream day. We spent the evening with them on Adraga beach and looked forward to seeing them again at their wedding.

The day was just as they described.  Their destination wedding in Portugal was magical and full of fun, surprises and beautiful personal touches. The vintage Quinta provided the perfect backdrop to their romantic dream. The ceremony was held in front of the chapel with people seated on the stone steps. The vine leaves were turning a pretty shade of Autumn and the low sun just peeked though the chapels rooftop.

The reception was all outdoors, even the chilly October night couldn’t keep these guys from enjoying the beautiful evening. Wrapped in some blankets and warmed by candlelight, they laughed wth family and friends who travelled from all over the world to celebrate with them.

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
