Portugal is one of my favourite places to shoot, and since my mother lives there, I head back a couple times a year to visit her and shoot a couple of weddings too! With easy flights to and from the UK, and perfect weather all year round — Portugal is a great destination wedding for so many couples in the UK.
But it can be a bit difficult to understand all the legalities. Getting married in Portugal for UK citizens requires documentation such as a marriage license from the Civil Registry Office and it usually takes approximately one month for the Portuguese authorities to process this request.
