Wedding at Herdade do Rio Torto, Alentejo | Sara + Dinis
Sara and Dinis live in Dubai now, but their hearts? Those have always belonged to Portel in the Alentejo. So that's where they came home to get married.
Coming Home to Say "I Do"
Their ceremony at Igreja Matriz de Portel was everything—historic, warm, emotional. Family and friends had traveled from near and far to witness this moment. Watching them exchange vows in that beautiful Alentejo church, surrounded by all that love? It was profound.
Golden Hour in the Alentejo Plains
Then we moved to Herdade do Rio Torto for the celebration. Golden fields, rustic charm, cork trees, open plains—and that legendary Alentejo golden hour light that makes everything look cinematic. We captured portraits as the sun set, and honestly, the landscape did half the work.
A Night of Joy & Tradition
From the emotional ceremony to those dreamy sunset portraits to the lively party that followed, this wedding was about love, family, and coming home. It was an honor to document their transition from modern Dubai life back to the timeless traditions of Portugal.
