Chelsea & Mike — A Wedding Full of Joy

From the moment I stepped into the villa, I knew Chelsea and Mike’s wedding would be special. The energy was warm and real — friends laughing, family helping, the kind of atmosphere where honest moments just happen.

Chelsea’s morning was full of hugs, happy tears, and a beautiful calm before the ceremony. Mike, equally relaxed, shared a quiet toast with his groomsmen before heading to the beach. No stress, no posing — just two people fully present with their loved ones.

The ceremony by the sea was emotional and full of laughter. As their wedding photographer, I focused on the in-between moments — how he looked at her, how guests reacted, how natural everything felt.

Afterwards, we snuck away for a short walk on the beach. They laughed, danced in the sand, kissed in the sun — and I simply captured it. No need for direction when people are that connected.

Then came the party: golden light, heartfelt speeches, wild dancing, and a celebration that felt as effortless as it was unforgettable.

If they ever visit Lisbon, I’ll be genuinely happy to see them again — and of course, to be their photographer once more.
