This engagement photoshoot at Palácio de Queluz became the perfect excuse to revisit one of my favourite places in Portugal and celebrate a chapter of life that deserves far more attention than it usually gets.

We spent the entire week before this proposal checking the weather forecast like stressed stock market analysts because Lisbon simply would not stop raining. And then somehow, on their day, the skies opened up for us.

The morning started with that annoying “is it going to rain or not?” drizzle situation, but somehow the weather held long enough for Luís to pull off the sweetest surprise proposal for Andreia at Quinta de Santana. And him surprising her with her family waiting nearby to celebrate afterwards might have been one of my favorite reactions ever.
