Raquel, originally from Portugal and now living in London, returned home to marry Michel in the Alentejo countryside. They brought their family and friends from the UK to celebrate at Craveiral Farmhouse, choosing an outdoor destination wedding in Portugal that felt relaxed, warm and true to who they are.

The morning preparations were genuinely fun and relaxed, filled with laughter and anticipation. The outdoor ceremony was religious, led by Father Mike, bringing a meaningful and personal tone to the celebration. Surrounded by family and friends, Raquel and Michel exchanged vows under the open Alentejo sky in a moment that felt both intimate and grounded.

Cocktail hour took place by the pool during an unforgettable sunset, with a live jazz band setting the atmosphere as guests gathered, talked and celebrated together. Dinner followed in a covered open-air veranda, framed by cozy fireplaces that added warmth to the evening and blended naturally with the surrounding countryside.
