It created a magical atmosphere for this emotional moment between the couple, adding a touch of cinematic romance to their winter elopement.
An Intimate Ceremony in the Blue Room
Their ceremony took place in the palace’s iconic Blue Room in Pestana Palace. The Blue room was the breathtaking location for the exchange of vows. That space filled with hand-painted walls, gilded mirrors, and elegant chandeliers is unique.

The bride wore a beautiful satin circle skirt midi dress with a curved, off-the-shoulder neckline. Her look was effortlessly romantic and modern. The silhouette flowed gracefully through the palace halls and Lisbon’s charming streets. That chic style maked it ideal for both luxury and urban vibes.
Strolling Through Alfama’s Cobblestone Streets
After the ceremony and some portraits inside the palace, we headed into the city to explore Alfama, one of Lisbon’s oldest neighborhoods. The warm winter sun lit up the pastel-colored buildings, and the quiet streets offered the perfect setting for relaxed, joyful portraits — and a toast to love with a view.
