Autumn wedding by the sea | Filipa and Gonçalo

Getting married in autumn is rare, and by the sea even more so! Tying the knot in autumn by the seaside during a pandemic is truly exceptional!

.

In October 2020, I had the privilege of photographing Filipa and Gonçalo’s wedding at the charming Casa da Praia in Quiaios. This venue, situated next to the beach and near the Serra da Boa Viagem, offers a perfect setting for weddings that combine the charm of the coast with the serenity of the mountains.

On the big day, both prepared at a nearby hotel, taking advantage of Casa da Praia’s proximity to facilitate logistics.

The Couple

Filipa and Gonçalo met in 2012, at an event where Filipa was the photographer! Yes, that means I had an increased responsibility in my photography, to come up with a storytelling that’s compelling for everyone, especially bride and mother.

In 2019, during a romantic weekend in the Douro valley, Gonçalo proposed to Filipa while having dinner at a hotel overlooking Porto.

“We are opposites in many things, and that’s why we’ve always complemented and balanced each other, finding harmony. Sometimes meeting halfway, other times not so much, but always accepting that this is also love. We started as friends, drinking companions. Today we are husband and wife but maintain the friendship.”

Casa da Praia, Quiaios

Casa da Praia stands out for its versatility, allowing for outdoor ceremonies, on the beach or in the garden, and offering spaces like the main garden’s gazebo and the glass-enclosed conservatory for refined and glamorous celebrations.

The ceremony took place in Casa da Praia’s glass conservatory, providing stunning views over the exterior garden. The intimate and cozy atmosphere was perfect for celebrating Filipa and Gonçalo’s love.

If you’re considering a wedding that combines the serenity of the sea with a sophisticated space, your indecision ends here!

Casa da Praia proved to be the ideal setting! Combining the natural beauty of the beach with the elegance of a well-equipped venue. For couples planning to marry in 2025, this location continues to be an excellent option.
