Lisbon, a charming and unique city surrounded by breathtaking landscapes, castles, beaches, luxury hotels, and inns, has become one of the most sought-after destinations for weddings and elopements. With perfect weather for most of the year, a prolonged summer, and mild winters, Lisbon offers the best conditions to host your wedding or elopement. I, Lucho Vargas, am a photographer specialized in elopements and destination weddings, here to help you create unforgettable memories of your big day.
Having lived in Portugal since 2017 and being fluent in English, Spanish, and Portuguese, I have an in-depth knowledge of the city and the country, allowing me to not only capture incredible moments but also assist in planning your wedding. Whether it’s a romantic elopement, a luxury destination wedding, or a large celebration, I can guide you through the process, from selecting the venue to creating the event timeline.
In recent years, Portugal has received several national and international awards, including the title of the Best Tourism Destination in the World for three consecutive years, and Lisbon is undoubtedly one of the most popular places for foreign couples. On our blog, you can find inspiration and explore some of the amazing events we’ve photographed in the city.
