Sintra isn't just one location. It's morning coffee in the village, mist rolling through the hills, pastries carried in paper bags, hidden gardens, winding forest paths and sunsets over the Atlantic.

This guide brings together my favourite engagement photo locations in Sintra, organised not by popularity but by feeling.
