Couldn’t help sharing this amazing wedding held at Forte da Cruz, in Estoril, a superb historic castle in Portugal with stunning sea views.

Catherine and Kevin brought their family, their closest friends but also their traditions from the USA to Portugal for their international destination wedding. This was my first time photographing a wedding tea ceremony and, let me tell you, it was so fulfilling! Asking for advice from your closest family members while offering them a tea says a lot about what is important in their culture and I loved it.

The color tradition in Chinese weddings really makes your eyes pop all round. Wearing a red wedding dress has been a tradition since over 650 years ago. In Chinese culture, the bride wears a red wedding dress such as a Qun Kwa or a Cheongsam on her wedding day to celebrate the joy and happiness of the marriage. As a symbol of joy, celebration, vitality, success and good fortune, red is the luckiest color in Chinese culture and gold means prosperity.

This is just a small sample of the photos they got. Hope you enjoy watching them as much as I felt taken them 🙂

“From start to finish, Miguel was amazing to work with. Miguel went above and beyond to capture all the best moments from our wedding. He worked with us to coordinate the entire day of shoots, talked us through his ideas and incorporated our preferences as well. He was incredibly flexible with our last minute scheduling changes.” – Kevin
