26 Jun Radha & Vik Indian Wedding in Sintra

An Indian Wedding in Sintra

by Aguiam Wedding Photography

Radha and Vik Indian Wedding in Sintra, Penha Longa Resort was a celebration of love witnessed by family and friends that traveled from all around the world. We remember, while exchanging e‑mails with the couple, that the idea to have their two‑day Indian Wedding in Portugal was to escape the English foggy weather. Well, some things are just meant to be. It didn’t rain, at all!, and it just wasn´t too hot either, just the perfect weather, with the perfect light (the ideal for photography! 👌). We rather have this type of days than melting away with too much sun. Radha and Vik were a bit disappointed at the beginning because they wanted a more bright sun. But soon they agreed with us and realized that a full Indian Wedding under July heat, was just not as a good idea as they thought it would be before. Their two-day Indian Wedding was held in two different locations. The first day, with all pre‑Hindu Wedding rituals, took place at the Quinta da Paciência, a beautiful villa in the old part of Sintra. Their Hindu Wedding and Wedding Reception both happened at the astonishing Penha Longa Resort. Couples usually fall in love with the Núncio Garden as soon as they see it. Must be the earthly tones with the lake in the middle. It is a very charismatic spot at the resort where one can easily forget that is actually in Portugal. Maybe it is the natural earth colors, the pool in its middle, it breathes history. Its origins date back to the 16^th century and it served as a place of contemplation for the monks. So yes, all these are the perfect combination when you want to have a special ceremony. Radha and Vik had such a good time, the date was really memorable! And so it was for us as well, very special. They made us feel part of the family and that, for us photography team, is an unforgettable feeling! 😄
