A Breathtaking Setting for a Love Story

Located in the stunning Serra da Arrábida, Praia dos Galapinhos is a hidden gem with crystal-clear waters, golden-hued rocks, and a breathtaking backdrop where the sun sets behind the mountains. It was in this idyllic setting that Sara and Duarte had their engagement photoshoot, a very special and warm afternoon.

As the soft light bathed the landscape, Sara's flowing blue dress stood out beautifully, harmonizing perfectly with the tones of the sea and rocks. Their chemistry was undeniable, from playful moments in the sand to some few dance steps by the sea, every detail contributed to an incredibly romantic atmosphere.

Let me share a funny story about how they met - It all began in the most unexpected yet charming way. They have been together for six years, celebrating their anniversary on April 1st – a date that often brings laughter and disbelief. Their journey started in a pharmacy, where Sara worked. One day, Duarte walked in to buy Griponal (for a flu), and fate took its course. When she asked if he knew how to take the medicine, he cheekily replied that he didn’t - just to steal a moment to read her name on the name tag. Little did he know, her name was also printed on the receipt, but his bold move paid off!

Years later, Duarte kept the romance alive with a magical proposal. At night, in front of the enchanting Disneyland Paris castle, he got down on one knee and followed tradition, asking Sara to be his forever. It was a fairytale moment fitting for their love story.

This photoshoot was more than just capturing images - it was about freezing in time the love and happiness that define their relationship. Praia dos Galapinhos provided the perfect stage for their story, a place as beautiful and unique as their journey together.
