Our schedule
(Every schedule will be individual considering sunset time, which is every day different, below is an example)
Preparation (15:30)
hair+make up
Your hair and makeup artist will arrive first to create your look, making sure you feel confident and radiant for your special day. We, as photographers, arrive a little later to capture the final touches, the preparation moments, and all the beautiful details you’ll want to remember forever.
transport to the spot (17:00-18:00)
location
Usually, we each drive separately to your chosen location and meet you there, keeping things simple and relaxed. Of course, we can adjust this depending on your plans, so everything flows smoothly and feels stress-free.
ceremony (18:00)
vows and rings
This is the heart of your elopement – the moment you say your vows and share your love. We capture it naturally, focusing on the emotions, small details, and fleeting moments that make your ceremony uniquely yours, so you can relive it forever.
picnic (18:30-19:30)
celebration
After your ceremony, it’s time to relax, laugh and enjoy your special occasion together. We provide a picnic by the cliffs, pop a bottle of bubbles and capture all the joy, love and little details that make your celebration unforgettable. You may also invite up to 6 guests for an additional cost.
sunset photos (19:30-20:00)
portraits
As the day winds down, we capture your love against the golden light of the Algarve. Photos will be taken on the beach and with a retro car on the cliffs, creating timeless and romantic memories you’ll treasure forever.
An Atmospheric Element
retro car
The retro car adds a stylish touch to your photos and becomes a part of your story. We’ll use it during your sunset portraits and let its lights illuminate you during the first dance and cake cutting, creating truly romantic and unforgettable moments.
cake cutting/first dance (20:00-20:30)
epic ending
Celebrate your first dance and cake cutting under the soft glow of a retro car’s lights. We’ll also provide sparklers for you and your guests to add a magical touch to these special moments.

FAQ
What should we know before we go?
Transportation – Renting a car during your All-Inclusive elopement in Algarve is strongly recommended, as public transport doesn’t reach the west coast cliffs. Expect about a 60-minute drive from areas like Albufeira or Portimão. We can also suggest hotels or villas for your getting-ready moments.
Clothing & Comfort – Bring a warm layer for coastal winds, comfortable shoes for uneven ground, and towels for sandy or rocky areas.
Essentials – Stay hydrated with water and light snacks (a picnic is included).
Physical Preparation – Light walking on uneven ground is required. No hiking is needed, just basic mobility. Please let us know about any health considerations.
Timing – Your elopement wedding Portugal begins approximately 6 hours before sunset; start times vary seasonally.
Weather – Coastal conditions can change quickly. In rare cases of strong wind or rain, we’ll help reschedule or suggest alternatives.
Travel – Closest airport: Faro (FAO), about 1.5 hours away. From Lisbon, it’s approximately 4 hours. Renting a car at the airport is easiest (credit card required).
What happens if the weather is bad?
In case of very bad weather, there is a possibility to reschedule the experience, provided that everyone is available. Rain is rare from May to September. Winds can be strong at times, though a light to moderate breeze is almost always present, as the Atlantic ocean air is part of Portugal 🙂 Please stay open-minded - weather is something we can’t fully predict and in any case, we promise your unique story will be beautifully captured, even if it rains.
What about guests?
Up to 8 guests can join at EUR 50.00/person
They are welcome to join the ceremony. All guests must arrange their own transportation to the ceremony location. It is recommended to rent a car, as we do not provide transfers.
How does payment work?
A 50% deposit is required as a booking fee to secure your date. The remaining 50% should be prepared in an envelope and handed over at our first meeting on the elopement day, at the getting-ready location.
