Capturing Love and Adventure at Praia das Bicas: A Beautiful Engagement Photoshoot

On a warm, pleasant day in September, the golden sun gently bathed the stunning Praia das Bicas in Sesimbra, creating the perfect setting for Débora and Filipe’s couple’s photoshoot. Located on the beautiful coast of Portugal, this beach is famous for its towering rocky cliffs and wild, picturesque waves that crash dramatically against the sand. The sound of the ocean, paired with the serene beauty of the surroundings, set a unique atmosphere for capturing unforgettable moments.

What made the day even more special was the unexpected sight of paragliders soaring through the sky, an element that is typical at this beach. As luck would have it, some of these colorful paragliders made their way into our photos, adding a wonderful sense of adventure and spontaneity to the shoot. With each click of the camera, the energy and connection between Débora and Filipe were undeniable. The way they looked at each other, and their genuine affection truly shone through.

As I chatted with them between shots, they shared with me the beautiful story of how they met. "We've been together for 6 years," Débora explained, with a smile. "We met at the hospital where we both work" She’s a midwife nurse, and Filipe is an anesthesiologist, and together they make quite the dynamic team. They recalled how their connection grew from those early days working together to the deep bond they share today.

The highlight of their love story came in March 2022, when Filipe proposed to Débora in the breathtaking mountains of Switzerland. "It was on a mountain that you can actually see on the Toblerone box!" Filipe laughed, recalling the perfect moment. It was truly a dream come true for both of them, surrounded by the stunning Swiss landscape and, of course, their love for one another.

As the session continued, the connection between Débora and Filipe was evident in every photo. The photos from that day will forever be a testament to their beautiful relationship, the unforgettable moment at Praia das Bicas, and the love that continues to grow between them.
