Engagement Photoshoot in Foz do Arelho | Mariana + André
On a radiant spring afternoon, I had the pleasure of capturing the engagement session of Mariana and André, a vivacious and joyful couple whose energy is truly infectious. Our journey began in the heart of Caldas da Rainha, at the enchanting Parque Dom Carlos I, and concluded with the serene beauty of Praia da Foz do Arelho as the sun dipped below the horizon.
Parque Dom Carlos I, a romantic garden adjacent to the historic Hospital Termal Rainha D. Leonor, provided a picturesque backdrop for the start of our photoshoot. The park's lush greenery, tranquil lake, and charming pathways offered myriad opportunities to showcase Mariana and André's playful spirits. Their laughter echoed through the park as they danced beneath the canopy of trees, their love illuminated by the dappled sunlight filtering through the leaves.
As the afternoon unfolded, we made our way to Praia da Foz do Arelho, a stunning beach where the Óbidos Lagoon meets the Atlantic Ocean. This unique location offers both the calm waters of the lagoon and the invigorating waves of the sea, providing diverse settings for our session. Mariana and André embraced the coastal breeze, their smiles radiant against the golden sands and azure waters. The expansive horizons and the gentle lull of the waves created a serene atmosphere, perfectly complementing the couple's affectionate interactions.
As the sun began its descent, casting a warm, golden glow across the landscape, we captured some of the most intimate moments of the day. The soft light enveloped Mariana and André, highlighting the genuine connection they share. Their extroverted personalities shone through in every frame, from spontaneous laughter to tender embraces, each image a testament to their joyous journey together.
This engagement session was a beautiful blend of natural beauty and authentic emotion. Mariana and André's exuberance and love were a joy to photograph, and I am honored to have been a part of this chapter in their love story.
