Jess and Mark’s beautiful destination wedding at Os Agostos in Algarve

Oh wow! This was a stunner. Jess was an incredibly beautiful bride and Mark was a chilled and relaxed groom, both extremely happy to get married. Jess went for a very natural look – which we fell in love since minute one – twisted swept hair and very natural makeup beautifully matched with a breathtaking dress helped with the relaxed and informal theme of the wedding. Mark’s pale blue suit was such a fresh touch that made him look like he belonged to a James Bond movie!
It was a day filled with love, laughter, tears and special moments. One of our favourites was definitely when Jess was about to enter the church and she holds Mark’s hand before walking down the isle together – it almost led us to tears (like, man tears in Pedro’s case!).
The cherry on the cake was without any doubt Jess’s e-mail after the wedding : “You have excelled credit to you, you truly are masters of your art and we can’t thank you enough for you work but also your kindness on the day at times we felt nervous and overwhelmed and you helped us greatly with your calm kind words so again thank you.”

O Maravilhoso Casamento da Jess e do Mark n’Os Agostos, Algarve

Uau! Este casamento foi espectacular! A Jess estava uma noiva absolutamente deslumbrante e o Mark super relaxado e descontraído, mas ambos muito felizes por se casarem. A Jess optou por um look muito natural – ao qual nos rendemos no primeiro instante. O cabelo apanhado num torcido a combinar com o vestido lindíssimo encaixaram perfeitamente no ambiente relaxado e informal do casamento. O fato azul claro do Mark foi um toque fresco que o fazia parecer saído de um filme do James Bond!
Foi um dia cheio de amor, gargalhadas, lágrimas e momentos especiais. E um dos nossos momentos favoritos foi, sem dúvida, quando a Jess estava a chegar à igreja e deu a mão ao Mark antes de subirem ao altar juntos – quase nos levou às lágrimas (lágrimas de homem, no caso do Pedro!).
A cereja no topo do bolo foi, sem dúvida, o email que a Jess nos enviou quando viu as fotografias: “Vocês tem o maior crédito, vocês são verdadeiramente mestres na vossa arte e não temos palavras para vos agradecer pelo vosso trabalho mas também pela vossa bondade ao longo do dia, nos momentos em que nos sentimos nervosos e assoberbados e vocês ajudaram-nos imenso com as vossas palavras calmas. Por isso Obrigado!”
