Intimate Wedding at Quinta da Velha by the Douro River

By the quiet bend of the Douro River, Raquel and Juan chose to say “yes” in an intimate celebration, surrounded by people who’ve walked beside them through time and distance.

The venue — Quinta da Velha — offered the perfect backdrop: discreet, surrounded by old trees, and steeped in quiet beauty. Everything was curated with intention. No rigid schedules. No unnecessary formality. Just presence, connection, and truth.

The day flowed like the river itself — calm yet full of depth. An outdoor ceremony, a long dinner under the warm afternoon light, heartfelt embraces, soft conversations in different tongues. Each moment unfolded naturally, with grace and honesty.

We documented the day with care and discretion, letting the real atmosphere come through. More than just images — we captured what it felt like to be there.
