To Hire
We can help you in a few different ways with your wedding or event decor depending on your requirements.
Decor Services
We can simply deliver furniture and decor to your wedding or event destination in the Algarve. Often couples just want to hire chairs and tables and only need them to be delivered, maybe your wedding planners or stylist just require the hire of our collection. When we chat we can discuss this in detail.
Styling & Design
Firstly we chat about your chosen wedding venue, your vision, your ideas, likes and dislikes, colours and themes , not forgetting the all-important tiny details. Some of you will know exactly what you want and what you don’t want and some of you will need some guidance! Together we will work this out!
We have the option of making bespoke items for you. I am lucky enough to be surrounded by creative souls who love to design beautiful bespoke items!
If it’s specific silk or dried flower displays you are after then we can bring in my dear friend and extremely talented Suzannah who has been a wedding and event florist here for many years. Suzannah is now focusing her skills on beautiful silk and dried flowers displays.
For your wedding stationery I can bring in another creative friend of mine, her designs and ideas are beautiful and nothing is too much trouble!
Some of you will be pulling everything together yourselves as planning and designing comes naturally to you, but on the day when you are in hair and makeup, who is going to be you? Who is going to be your voice and vision and report back to you? Panic not we have Sandie! Sandie has years of experience in the event industry and will be your PA on the day. Sandie will meet with you before your day, discuss your timings, all the tiny details, what you want and where and when, she will be your voice, coordinating and troubleshooting for as long as you need her. Everybody needs a Sandie!
Your options are endless, if we don’t have what you need, we work alongside some great companies who may have what you are looking for ... after all, teamwork makes the dream work!!!
Having been a photographer for 25 years this is definitely my thing!
Photography & Video
Weddings
I have 14 years of being a wedding photographer in the Algarve, can talk you through your wedding plans, give some top tips on how to schedule your day, allowing enough time to relax enjoy and your day yet capture all the shots you need with seemless effort! We will guide you when you need guiding whilst being discreet and capturing your day as it unfolds...
I work alongside Gabriel my second shooter and editor. Gabriel is Portuguese but fluent in english and has worked with me for seven years now. Together I believe we make a great team.
Every wedding is unique here in the Algarve, some are for 200 people and some an intimate elopement for 2 or with just close friends and family. By talking through your day we can put together a bespoke package to suit you day, speak to all your guests yet still capture all the images you want…
Video
I don’t do video myself but we have had the pleasure of working with Orlando and his team for the last 14 years on many Algarve weddings. We have joined forces to create beautiful stories of many couples and their families. Over the years we have become great friends and always enjoy working together making the perfect wedding photography and film team. Orlando is very experienced in the wedding video industry and so is his team, he is professional yet funny & charming, he will be sure to make you feel at ease and without a doubt make you smile! As two teams together we complete the visual dream!
Portrait Photography
Whether its an Algarve wedding or a special birthday celebration everyone wants to capture that beautiful portrait of their loved ones! Not only do we do weddings and events we also photograph families on holidays or families wanting to capture a rare photo of everyone relaxed and happy enjoying the Algarve!
Studio Photography
This has been a side of photography I have always loved and recently decided to focus more attention to.
I think everybody especially women want a beautiful portrait of themselves be it clothed, almost clothed or no clothes!! So many of us are afraid of the camera lens ( me included) but being a female photographer with years of experience at making people feel at ease I know that being camera shy is possible to overcome.
This is a corner of my home I love, tucked away in the far corner nestled in between the fruit trees surrounded by chickens you will find my hideaway workshop! So- called “The Workshop” as that is how its life began, full of tools and machinery! Now it is my haven to work away with no distraction except for the sounds of wild life and roosters!!
In the Work Shop I can style a shoot to suit your chosen look or we can find the perfect location and light. I personally love the boho gypsy look with lace, hats and pampas grass.
To complete your studio experience I also have a team of trusted make-up and hairstylists to call on who are also real girls’ girl’s!
The Workshop
Boudoir Bride
Something I have really noticed over the years on the morning of a wedding is there is so little time...so little time to capture the bride alone with her perfect makeup, perfectly styled hair, how many of us ever go to these lengths of preparation ever again! We spend hours and a small fortune choosing the most beautiful underwear that if we are being honest will we ever wear again not to mention will your partner even remember it?!!
My idea is to have a boudior bride photoshoot. Most brides have a trial hair and makeup session so why not combine it with a photoshoot in my studio at home. The photos can be a gift for your partner or just a beautiful collection of images for you.
Treat your girls to a girls day out! Bring your bridesmaids for the ultimate “ girl’s day”, pop open the fizz, have your hair and make-up done, feel amazing and top it off with individual photoshoots!
I can put together a bespoke package to include, hair, make-up, lunch, refreshments, photoshoot for the perfect girls day out!!!
