Ashlyn & Francesco
Destination Wedding Film in the Algarve
Ashlyn and Francesco travelled from the United States to celebrate their destination wedding in the Algarve, bringing together the warmth of their families and friends for a truly heartfelt celebration in Portugal.
The day began in the charming old town of Praia da Luz, where both prepared separately in private villas overlooking the Atlantic coastline. The atmosphere was calm yet filled with anticipation — soft morning light, quiet laughter, and those intimate moments that set the tone for everything to come. These preparations always carry a special kind of emotion, and capturing them allows the story of the day to unfold naturally.
Their ceremony took place at Arvad Vineyard, surrounded by rolling Algarve landscapes and golden light. The setting felt both refined and relaxed — a perfect reflection of their relationship. The vineyards created a romantic backdrop, while the warm Portuguese air and elegant styling gave the celebration a timeless atmosphere.
As the evening progressed, the celebration became lively and joyful. Heartfelt speeches, shared embraces, and an energetic dance floor brought together guests who had travelled across continents to witness this moment. It was a wedding that felt deeply personal, yet effortlessly elegant.
Our approach to their film was documentary at its core — allowing moments to breathe naturally — while shaping the story cinematically through movement, layered audio, and thoughtful composition. From the quiet morning in Praia da Luz to the golden vineyard sunset at Arvad, every detail was crafted into a wedding film that reflects not just how the day looked, but how it truly felt.
If you are planning your own destination wedding in Portugal, we would love to tell your story.
