Engagement session in the forest

Sintra is one of my favourite locations, both for photographing weddings and for engagement sessions.

This was the case for Beatriz and Leonardo, who did not want to stop at just an engagement session and also chose one of the best venues for a wedding in Sintra.

This session quickly became one of my favourites to photograph because I was able to help the couple feel completely at ease, which made the photos feel natural and authentic. The final result is simple and true to who they are as a couple.

For me, it is important to choose a location that resonates with you, as it did for Beatriz and Leonardo, so that the session flows naturally and feels comfortable. The choice of location makes a bigger difference to the final images than it might seem.

With that in mind, here are some of my favourite photographs from this engagement session, to inspire you for your own session or even for your wedding in Sintra.
