We are absolutely in love with Tanaz and Will’s wedding in Portugal captured by JJMT Photographers. The couple chose to exchange their vows privately, speaking from their heart and creating such beautiful moments. Later on they celebrated during their wedding reception at the Forte da Cruz wedding venue, a lovely historical villa on the Lisbon Coast and as the bride shared with us: «My favorite moment was walking out from the top floor of Forte da Cruz venue and seeing all our friends and family having fun and celebrating. »

«My friend saw his picture and knew I would like him because he looked like a lumberjack with his facial hair and muscles and reached out to him and connected us to speak and it was the best first date. He proposed one morning as we were on the beach watching the sunrise as we occasionally do together and he pointed out a shell on the sand and when I picked it up, the ring was inside. Very private and naturally beautiful surroundings. », the bride shared with us.
«He bought me roses every week for a year when I finally told him I actually don’t like flowers. We wanted a wedding theme with just crystals and candles and so had zero flowers at the wedding. We had tree branches as centerpieces with hanging crystals and pearls. We had candles all around the venue along the walls and floors…»
We also did not want a public ceremony so exchanged vows privately and then met up with the guests at the cocktail hour to start the party.

«I fell in love with the brand Milla Nova. She is a Ukrainian designer who knows how to create romantic, fairytale, sexy dresses and I knew I wanted a dress from her. »
My advice to other brides is to find a wedding team/vendor that are very responsive, communicate well and on schedule. That way you are less stressed out having to take on a lot on your own.
