Portugal Wedding at The Astoria with a Brass Band Twist by Histórias com Alma



Teresa & João 24h party People

at Histórias com Alma


The Astoria by Histórias com Alma is one of the top wedding venues in Porto, Portugal — and this day exploded with energy, brass band vibes, and raw emotion.


We had the amazing Isabel from CLAP Weddings with us all day — bringing calm energy, great planning, and a big smile. If you’re planning a destination wedding in Portugal, she’s one of the best coordinators around.


The boho wedding decor set the tone, and the panoramic glass room brought it all together. As the sun set over Grijó, the golden light poured in, creating a perfect cinematic backdrop for both photography and video.


We were there to shoot everything — the chaos, the laughter, the quiet moments in between. The couple gave us total freedom to move between photo and video, dancing and partying, blending instinct with intention. And when the fanfarra kicked off and Grandpa Zé walked in as the wedding ringer, we knew this was going to be one for the books.


Later that night, we even joined the band ourselves — because when the vibe hits like that, you don’t just stand there. You dance, you shoot, you live it.


So here’s the final stretch — no captions, no filters. Just emotion, motion, and the 24h party people who made this wedding one of a kind.


If you’re after a Porto wedding photographer and videographer who’s ready to jump into the chaos with you — cameras in hand, heart on sleeve — let’s talk.

FAQ

I’ve known Ana and Francisco for years, and after photographing many weddings there, I always get the same feeling: laid-back vibe, great energy, and a level of detail that’s unreal. From long shared tables and custom decor, to sunsets perfectly timed with the couple’s entrance — everything feels intentional, but never forced. The staff is tireless, the food has a chef’s touch, and the boho-style gardens and lounges make the space feel magical. For me, it has all the ingredients for an unforgettable wedding.
