A Day to Remember


In the charming town of Tavira, at the Igreja Matriz de Nossa Senhora da Luz, a day full of love and blessings unfolded.

Tiago’s baptism and the wedding of Ana and Nuno were celebrated in a heartfelt and unforgettable ceremony, surrounded by family, friends, and tradition.

After the touching moments at the church, guests gathered for a joyful reception at Restaurante Vale del Rei, where warm embraces, delicious food, and genuine laughter made the day even more special.

The celebration continued with a stunning photo session at Praia do Barril.

One of the most famous beaches in Algarve, thanks to its curious display of over 100 anchors known as “anchor cemetery.”

To get there you need to take a tourist train or follow a path over the lagoons of the Ria Formosa Natural Park.
