Paul & Irene’s Wedding | Fortaleza da Luz, Portugal

Wow, what a wedding! Irene & Paul were married right next to the beach at Nossa Senhora da Luz, the Praia da Luz village church in the Algarve, Portugal. Very conveniently the reception venue, Fortaleza da Luz was just across the road; a gorgeous old fort overlooking the sea. With Irene’s New York, Greek and Portuguese connections, Paul from England, and best man Karl flying in from South Africa,it really was an international affair!

Thanks to everyone for making me so welcome, it was an amazing day and great to meet you all 🙂

The girls got ready at Irene’s parents’ fantastic villa in Praia da Luz. It was a really hot day, I just wanted to jump in that pool!
