Yaili & Nicklas //Portugal Wedding by This Modern Love

Yaili & Nicklas - Duoro Wedding Photography

I caught the same flight as Nicklas and the boys one grey Friday morning in Dublin. Just a couple of frames later and we're in Porto, making our way to the Swedish-Portuguese gathering that was Yaili and Nicklas' wedding.

Hotel Rural Casa dos Viscondes da Várzea, just outside the city of Lamego in the beautiful Douro region, was the perfect setting for the feasting. I've never seen so much food. If this is how weddings roll in Portugal, I'm totally in.

From a photography point of view this wedding was a dream. There was no brief other than the freedom to try and push things creatively. Can't ask for more than that.

Gabi & Phil //Swedish Wedding by This Modern Love

Gabi & Phil - Medevi Brunn Wedding Photography, Sweden

Gabi and Phil are really good friends of ours, so we loved having the opportunity to capture some wedding memories for them.

The wedding was in Medevi Brunn, Sweden's oldest spa - an absolutely stunning spot and totally worth the day's hike from Belfast. If only there were more places like this at home....

Phil and Tim used to be in a band together called 'the Amazing Pilots'. Phil's now involved in numerous musical projects including Sadpaw, and Gabi plays as Foreign Slippers. Seriously good tunes - you should check them out.

Anyway, this was one of the best weddings we've ever been to - simple, handmade, heartfelt and hilarious.  Good times with many old friends.

We think that Tim took the dancefloor photographs, although we can't be 100% sure. Ahem.

ps. We've just switched the comments on across the blog.  Feel free to say hi
