Photos from Lindsey + Chrisâ unforgettable Portugal elopement đ€
When Lindsey and Chris first reached out, I had a feeling this one would be special.
As fate would have it, they chose April for their elopement month â one of the most magical times of year in Portugal. The countryside is lush, the light is soft, and every corner feels alive. It also happened to be the month my baby was due, so I knew from the very beginning that I wouldnât be the one behind the camera on their day.
But I also knew exactly who I wanted to trust with it.
Laura immediately came to mind. I had followed her work for years and always admired the way she connects with couples â gently, intentionally, and with so much heart. The way she photographs love feels deeply familiar to my own approach, so asking her felt like the easiest decision.
When I shared the idea with Lindsey and Chris, they embraced it wholeheartedly.
And what a beautiful day it turned out to be.
We crafted an experience that felt true to them from start to finish â a slow morning wandering through the fairytale forests of Sintra, windswept moments by the ocean, wine among the vineyards, and finally sailing from Cascais toward Lisbon as the sun began to dip lower in the sky.
As I sorted through the photographs afterward, I could feel the joy, the connection, and the ease that the three of them shared throughout the day. Every image tells a piece of their story.
Seeing it all come together filled my heart with so much gratitude. Sometimes things donât unfold exactly as planned, but they end up exactly as theyâre meant to.
Lindsey + Chris, thank you for trusting us with your adventure. đ€
