Why Portugal

Why couples choose Portugal for their wedding.

For a filmmaker, Portugal means warm, cinematic light for most of the year, with a dream window of golden hour in late spring and early autumn. We've spent over 15 years learning this country's best locations, from clifftop terraces in Sintra to quiet vineyard estates in the Douro Valley, so that when you choose Portugal, you don't have to figure it out alone.

Based in Portugal. Available Worldwide.

Portugal is where we're based. But our cameras have traveled far beyond it. Whether your wedding takes place on a quinta outside Lisbon, a villa in Tuscany or a coastline in Iceland, we bring the same calm, unobtrusive approach to every celebration.

Local Knowledge

Why hire a wedding videographer based in Portugal.

Flying your videographer in from home is one option. Here is what you gain by hiring locally instead.

  • No international flights, accommodation or per-diems added to your quote
  • We already know the venues, their light, their rules and their coordinators
  • We know exactly when the sun hits the cliffs in the Algarve and the terraces in the Douro
  • Drone permissions, church restrictions and local logistics are already familiar ground
  • If your plans shift, we are an hour away, not a long-haul flight away
  • Fifteen years of relationships with Portuguese planners, celebrants and photographers

Most couples we film are planning from thousands of kilometres away, so we treat local knowledge as part of the service, not an extra. If you are still choosing where to marry, our guide to the best wedding venues in Portugal covers 35+ places we have filmed at or scouted, from Sintra palaces to Comporta beach houses.

What You Receive

What a cinematic wedding film actually includes.

Every collection is built around a feature film. The rest depends on how much of the day you want covered.

  • Feature film - the full story of your day, 10 to 20 minutes depending on collection
  • Highlights film - a shorter 3 to 5 minute cut, the one you will share most
  • Teaser - 30 to 60 seconds, made for the first post after the wedding
  • Ten hours of coverage as standard, from preparations through to the dance floor
  • Drone footage where permitted, on the Signature collection
  • Delivered online in 4K, ready to download, keep and share from anywhere

Every wedding is quoted individually, in euros. Payment is split across three stages: a deposit to secure your date, a second payment six months before the wedding, and the balance two weeks before. See what each collection includes, or ask us for a quote with your date and venue.

FAQs

Questions we get about hiring a wedding videographer in Portugal.

What is the difference between the feature film and the highlights?

The feature film is the full narrative of your day, 10 to 20 minutes depending on your collection, with the vows and speeches in full. The highlights are a 3 to 5 minute edit built for emotional impact, which is the one most couples share with family and on socials.

Do you record the vows and the speeches?

Yes. We use discreet lavalier and backup audio recorders so your vows, your ceremony and every speech are captured cleanly, not as room noise picked up from the back of the venue.

How long until we receive our film?

The teaser arrives within one month, the highlights within two months and the feature film within six months. Express delivery in three weeks is available as an extra. You will have an estimated timeline in writing before your wedding day.

Can we choose the music?

You can tell us the mood, the artists you love and anything you want us to avoid, and we build the edit around that. All music is properly licensed, which is what stops your film being muted or taken down when you share it.

Do you fly a drone?

Yes, where the venue and Portuguese airspace rules permit it. Drone coverage is included in the Signature collection and available as an extra on the others. We confirm permissions with your venue in advance.

How does payment work?

Every wedding is quoted individually, in euros. Payment is split into three stages: a deposit to secure your date, a second payment six months before the wedding, and the balance two weeks before.

Do you already know the venues in Portugal?

Yes. After 15 years and 400+ weddings here we know most of the country's wedding venues, their light and their restrictions. We also publish a curated guide to 35+ venues across Sintra, Lisbon, Comporta, Alentejo, the Douro Valley, Porto and the Algarve.
