This 19th-century palace, now a luxurious hotel and national monument, is known for its opulent architecture, lush gardens, and sophisticated interiors, making it one of Lisbon’s top venues for couples seeking a refined, timeless setting.

Recently, I had the pleasure of photographing an intimate wedding for a Portuguese couple who chose Pestana Palace to celebrate their love. This romantic venue offered a stunning backdrop that beautifully enhanced the couple’s elegant vision. Their celebration took place within the palace's exquisitely landscaped gardens, surrounded by vibrant flowers and century-old trees, creating a serene, fairy-tale atmosphere for their vows.

The indoor reception took full advantage of the palace’s regal décor, with high ceilings, crystal chandeliers, and intricate detailing that added a luxurious touch to every shot. The Pestana Palace team curated an exceptional experience with fine dining, ambient lighting, and tasteful décor that made each moment feel grand yet intimate. Every photograph captured the beauty of the couple’s special day against the palace’s timeless elegance and the warmth of their closest friends and family.
