Angela & Steven’s Destination Wedding at Palácio do Freixo, Porto
Angela and Steven came all the way from the US to celebrate their love with an unforgettable destination wedding in Porto, Portugal. Surrounded by family and friends from around the world, they chose the stunning Palácio do Freixo as the setting for a day filled with elegance, emotion, and one incredible party.
This 18th-century baroque palace, now a luxury hotel on the banks of the Douro River, offered the perfect blend of history, beauty, and sophistication. From the moment their guests arrived, it was clear this wasn’t just a wedding—it was a full experience, and one that no one would forget.
Angela and Steven said “I do” in an outdoor ceremony with the river as their backdrop. The atmosphere was romantic and joyful, with live music and heartfelt vows that brought everyone to tears. After the ceremony, guests enjoyed cocktails in the golden light of the late afternoon, before heading into the palace for dinner and the party that followed.
The reception was a true celebration—amazing food, flowing wine, emotional speeches, and a dance floor that stayed packed all night. Angela changed into a second dress, and Steven surprised her with a dance that got everyone cheering. The energy, the laughter, the music—it all came together to create a night that was as grand as the venue itself.
As wedding photographers, it’s always a gift to be part of such powerful moments, and this luxury wedding in Portugal was no exception. The mix of Porto’s charm, the elegance of Palácio do Freixo, and Angela and Steven’s incredible chemistry made this day a dream to photograph.
