If you are planning your wedding in 2025 and looking for an enchanting venue, let me introduce you to Quinta dos Machados! This estate, located between Mafra and Torres Vedras, remains one of the best options for those seeking a wedding surrounded by nature, with a rustic touch and a magical atmosphere. I have photographed several weddings there, and I can guarantee that each event has a unique energy!
Today I bring you the story of Joana and André, a couple who chose this incredible setting for their big day.

A Love Story That Began with Friendship
Joana and André are one of those couples who make us believe in destiny. After years as friends, they realized there was something more. And it was in the United Arab Emirates, where they live, that André proposed during a camping trip in the midst of nature. If that isn’t romantic, I don’t know what is!

Forest Wedding – The Natural Charm of Quinta dos Machados
If there is one thing that distinguishes Quinta dos Machados, it is its outdoor space. Few estates in Portugal offer such a beautiful forest for an outdoor ceremony. And for Joana and André, who love nature and adventure, it was the perfect choice! Imagine saying “I do” with the sound of birds in the background and incredible light filtering through the trees – simply magical!

How to Organize a Long-Distance Wedding?
Planning a wedding is a great challenge. From abroad? That doubles the work! Joana and André made the right choice by hiring a wedding planner. And if there’s one thing I’ve learned over the years, it’s that having a good team of professionals makes all the difference! A wedding planner helps ensure everything runs perfectly, without unnecessary stress.
This wedding was filled with special moments. From the heartfelt vows in the forest to the outdoor dinner under suspended lights, everything was perfect. The celebration was lively, full of energy, and of course, featured a groom who surprised the bride with an unexpected (and super fun) dance!
