Wedding at Forte da Cruz

The beautiful Estoril area of Portugal is an enchanting holiday destination that seamlessly blends natural beauty with historical charm and modern sophistication.

Located on the west coast of Portugal, this picturesque enclave is known for its golden sandy beaches, mild climate and breathtaking scenery. Visitors to Estoril can enjoy relaxing strolls along the seafront promenade, visit the famous Estoril Casino - one of the largest in Europe - or explore the charming gardens and parks that surround the area.

Estoril is also famous for hosting the Portuguese Formula 1 Grand Prix and for its rich history, which includes the summer residence of the Portuguese royal family.

If you are looking for a charming location with a fascinating history for your wedding, the Forte da Cruz in Estoril is the perfect choice.

This former military fort, built in the 17th century, offers breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean and surrounding gardens. Its imposing stone walls and historic architecture create a romantic and elegant atmosphere, transporting you back in time as you celebrate your special day. Whether you wish for an intimate outdoor ceremony or a reception in the main hall of the fort, you are sure to create unforgettable memories at this magical venue.

Carla and Adam came to us through Patricia from Portugal Wedding Planners - they were in Portugal and wanted to do an engagement session in Lisbon. We didn't even know if they would choose us to document their day but it was no problem!

We met at the downtown and between strolls and laughs we even stopped at Davvero for ice cream. A few hours later we received a message from Carla and Adam saying: We loved it, we are delighted! We haven't even seen the photos yet but we want you to be the ones to capture our day!

On the wedding day we arrived and the reception was so warm that we can only thank you for the moments we spent together. Thank you C&A!
