Planning a wedding at Quinta do Coração, in Portugal means creating unforgettable memories, and Juliana and Miguel’s special day is proof of that. They said their long-awaited “I do” in this beautiful venue, and it was a day filled with love, joy and plenty of celebration. But before talking about the party, let me tell you a little about the story behind this charming wedding.

Juliana & Miguel
Juliana and Miguel share a love story that began more than four years ago. After a dream proposal in Bali, they decided to celebrate their union in a special place: their wedding at Quinta do Coração, near Vila Franca de Xira.
Even though they began planning their wedding during complicated times — yes, at the beginning of 2020, when the pandemic was still an unknown and everyone was living with uncertainty — the couple showed that love can overcome any challenge. And what an incredible day it turned out to be.

Wedding at Quinta do Coração
If there is one thing Brazilian weddings are known for, it is their contagious energy. And although Miguel is Portuguese, Juliana’s family brought all the warmth of Brazil to Portugal. The result was a day full of dancing, laughter and emotion. As a wedding photographer with experience photographing Brazilian weddings, I can confirm that these moments are always memorable.
At a wedding at Quinta do Coração, each moment can take place in a different and charming setting. The outdoor ceremony, surrounded by greenery and natural light, creates a beautiful atmosphere, while the cocktail and the party take place in other areas of the venue, allowing the day to flow naturally and elegantly.
And that woodland area — it deserves a special mention. At sunset, the light passing through the trees creates a magical atmosphere that is perfect for unforgettable photographs of the couple. It is exactly the kind of setting any photographer dreams about.

A Fairytale Ending

If you are looking for a photographer for your wedding at Quinta do Coração, feel free to get in touch. I would be delighted to capture the magic of your special day with an authentic and artistic perspective.
All the photographs published so far were taken in a purely documentary style. That means there were no poses or staged moments. More than simply creating beautiful photographs, my goal was to capture meaningful ones. This constant search for photographs that are both beautiful and important led me to be recognised as one of the best documentary wedding photographers in the world at the end of 2021. Now that we are in 2025, I believe my photographic work has only continued to improve.
