When you picture a wedding in Portugal, you can’t help but imagine authentic settings full of history, charm, and natural beauty. This celebration at Casa Sacoto was exactly that: an intimate, minimalist wedding filled with elegance and heartfelt moments.
The Story Begins in Rio de Janeiro
Before the big day, the couple celebrated their engagement in Rio de Janeiro in February. Their engagement session took them through iconic spots such as:
-
The romantic Parque Lage, with its tropical gardens and historic architecture;
-
A beer in Ipanema;
-
And of course, the magical Ipanema beach, the perfect backdrop for natural, emotional photos.
A Minimalist Wedding at Casa Sacoto
In June, the couple tied the knot at Casa Sacoto, a venue known for blending tradition and modernity. The wedding embraced a minimalist Portuguese style, enriched with unique details.
The absolute highlight was the ceremony’s floral aisle – a breathtaking path of blooms that transformed the space into a romantic haven. Minimalist design elements were beautifully paired with the venue’s Portuguese tiles (azulejos), adding authenticity and cultural depth to the celebration.
Every detail was thoughtfully curated to highlight the venue’s charm, creating an atmosphere that felt sophisticated yet warm and welcoming.
Poolside Pizza Party
The celebration didn’t end there. The following day, guests were invited back for a more laid-back gathering: a pool party with pizza. The vibe was lighthearted and joyful, a perfect reflection of the couple’s fun personalities and their desire to create unforgettable experiences for their loved ones.
Inspiration for Modern Couples
This Casa Sacoto wedding is pure inspiration for couples dreaming of a destination wedding in Portugal. The combination of minimalist design, cultural authenticity, and relaxed celebration makes it the perfect example for modern couples seeking to balance style, emotion, and experience.
If you’re planning your wedding in Portugal and looking for unique ideas, let this be your moodboard: Portuguese tiles, breathtaking floral aisles, authentic experiences, and celebrations full of personality.
I’ll take this opportunity to share the beautiful words this couple said about my work:
Adriana delivered everything we dreamt of. She captured the most magical and precious moments of our wedding day in such a natural way. We didn’t have to spend time posing or creating photo moments, she (seemingly) effortlessly captured the love and happiness and beauty of the day. She is a pleasure to be around (we also did an amazing engagement shoot in Rio de Janeiro and had so much fun together) and we are so grateful we chose her to be a part of this special day.
