intimate family wedding at Praia da Marinha, Algarve, Portugal


Anett and Sten are getting married on one of the most beautiful Portuguese beaches in the south of the Algarve. It is May in Portugal, the most beautiful month to get married. We leave the beach to the left and walk along the cliffs. Here we are undisturbed amidst the lovely wedding decorations of white paper balls and bouquets of flowers. The view is breathtaking and the peace magical. Apart from the waves and the seagulls, we only hear the happy laughter of little daughter Selma, who is delighted by the glitter of the little golden stars on her princess dress and enthusiastically takes part in the sand ceremony. Since I had the pleasure of meeting the bride and groom a few months ago in Dresden, it is like a reunion and the atmosphere is very relaxed and easy-going. After the wedding ceremony, we take a leisurely walk down to the sea, discover caves and hidden bays and have the beach to ourselves at the end of the day. Just before dark, I jump the waves before heading home to the Alentejo. Here you can see the whole wedding reportage.
