Forte da Cruz Wedding: A Photographer's Venue Guide
Forte da Cruz is a 17th-century stone fortress right at the edge of the Atlantic in Estoril, half an hour from Lisbon: a ceremony at the front staircase, cocktails on a terrace over the sea, sunset portraits on Tamariz beach below the walls and a party that runs past midnight.
Our guide follows one wedding we photographed there, Frankie and Sammy's, hour by hour: the rooms to use for portraits, where the light is best, what to plan for wind and guests, and how the whole day fits into one seaside venue.
