If your dream wedding involves an intimate selection of guests, or maybe just the two of you, somewhere secluded and surrounded by nature, then you are going to LOVE today’s styled shoot. All the way from Portugal, the beautiful setting takes centre stage and sets the scene for a charming woodland elopement that would be perfect for any vintage-loving couple wanting to keep their day relaxed, and all about simplicity and sentiment…..

The bride’s Joana Montez wedding dress, with its delicate lace topper, adds a hint of vintage charm, whilst the groom looks smart but relaxed in his contemporary chambray suit and polka dot tie. But its the tablescape that really brings it all together featuring vintage brass candlesticks, mismatched chairs, and elegant flatware; its olde world splendour brings a sense of occasion and luxury to the whole celebration.

A few words from the lovely ladies over at My Fancy Wedding about what inspired this rustic vintage vision….. “Like something straight from the pages of a fairytale, with as much romance as mysticism, our styled shoot invites you to peek with us between the rustic trees of Serra de Sintra and to witness the beauty of a secret love whose strength flourishes from Nature itself.

Just a perfect combination of wild and elegant, imagination and reality, emotion and reason. It all culminates in a harmonic painting that brings a sigh to our lips as we’re captivated by this perfect union between two worlds, blessed even by the fog.”

Wow…. isn’t it just wow?? It really is like something from a fairytale! And just as beautiful is the video by Happy Together that accompanies it, so if you have a few extra minutes do take a moment and get a real sense of the romance of this shoot……
