The Vendors

Márcia & Alex show us why

As a Portugal wedding photographer, I’ve travelled across the country for destination weddings, but there’s something about the Algarve that always hits different.

Márcia & Alex came from the UK to celebrate their wedding at Vidamar Resort Hotel, one of the Algarve’s most striking venues, nestled between the dunes and the ocean at Herdade dos Salgados. The location was wild, open, and full of natural light—just how we like it.

They turned their destination wedding into a full experience. Friends and family stayed close by, creating a laid-back energy that lasted from the welcome drinks to the final dance. And as an Algarve wedding photographer, that kind of relaxed, emotional atmosphere is where the best images are born.

Why get married in the Algarve?

If you’re planning a destination wedding in Portugal, the Algarve should definitely be on your radar.

With over 300 days of sunshine a year, golden cliffs, quiet beaches, and charming coastal villages, it’s one of Europe’s top wedding spots.

Whether you want a beach ceremony, a cliffside elopement, or a luxury resort wedding, the Algarve offers endless possibilities. And the light? Unreal. Soft, warm, cinematic. Perfect for honest, emotional images.

Couples from the UK, Germany, the US and beyond come to the Algarve not just for the scenery—but for the vibe. The pace is slower. The mood is lighter. It feels like freedom.

On their wedding day, Márcia & Alex kept things simple, personal, and full of feeling.

The ceremony took place on a wooden deck with the ocean behind them, the wind playing with her veil, and guests gathered in close. There were laughs, tears, and everything in between. The kind of wedding where nothing is too planned—and everything just feels right.

We moved through the day almost unnoticed, capturing the quiet glances, spontaneous hugs, and late-night dancing without ever turning it into a photoshoot. That’s how we work. Always present, never intrusive.
