Margarida & Nicolas 2022
Minho - Portugal
This wedding was a very familiar event, in North of Portugal, Minho. Based in their family house of generations, it was filled with love and celebration of the joining of two houses. Margarida who is portuguese met her fiancé who is from Chile, in Australia.
It was love at first sight, and as they say, when you know... you know.
As a guest and friend, i wanted to gift them with a different perspective from the official photographers - so i did my best to stay out of their way and still capture these moments.
Minho is a special place, full of tradition. One of it's culture highlights is the dance called "Vira". This family loves this dance, and celebrated like royalty, in perfect execution. It's one of those dances that you have to witness to really feel it's power.
It was a spectacle to watch. Filled with concentration and laughter, it is a timed historical dance, passed down through generations.
After the family event and an amazing dinner, it was celebration time. Mask on, and let's party!
What a fantastic couple, filled with love and joy, surrounded by family and friends. A toast to the bride and groom!
Let the good times roll!
And the night went on...
It was a joy to be a part of it, everything was perfect. Good times to remember. Thank you Margarida and Nicolas.
