Joana and Staz held their destination wedding at the beautiful Quinta da Bellavista in Sintra, Portugal. Surrounded by their closest friends and family, their whimsical ceremony was filled with tears. Staz, as an all-around creative, surprised Joana with an original piano song played and sung by him at the end of the ceremony. With the performance of a saxophonist and a few burlesque dancers and singer as the wedding entertainment, guests entered the reception where they dined under white flower installations mounted on the ceiling and spread throughout. The night didn’t end until morning, with DJ Ricardo Coimbra making it hard on everyone to leave the dancefloor.
"From the very beginning, you made us feel comfortable and at ease, which is no small feat considering how camera-shy I (the bride) usually am. Your warm and friendly demeanor instantly put us at ease, allowing us to be ourselves and enjoy every moment without feeling self-conscious."
