Why choose Honeymoon session in Évora?
A honeymoon photoshoot in Évora suits the couples who chose the Alentejo for its slowness: a few days of long lunches, quiet villages and hot afternoons spent indoors. Whatever the wedding album holds, it was made on a day run by a timetable and watched by everyone you know. This is the opposite: no schedule, no relatives, nobody waiting for you to finish. Half an hour in one place is plenty, and in a town this compact the photographer can meet you a few minutes from wherever you are staying, at the hour the light turns kind.
Where we photograph in Évora
For a honeymoon we suggest the aqueduct street over the temple. It is more intimate: a lived street where the arches have front doors in them, where you can walk slowly and talk and be photographed doing exactly that. If the view is the thing you want to take home, the cathedral roof looks out over the whole walled town to the plain, and is the only high point in the centre; it is ticketed, so plan it as a visit and use the session there. Couples staying out of town, at Monsaraz or near the Alqueva, can be photographed there instead, which turns the session into a record of where you actually were.
The best time in Évora
Spring and October give the easiest evenings. In high summer the light softens around eight in the evening and that is the hour to book; earlier, the walls are still radiating heat and both of you will look it. Mornings at seven are equally good and far emptier. A winter honeymoon brings a quiet town, cold nights and green fields beyond the walls, and short days that make an early-afternoon slot possible.
What does the package include?
The package in Évora covers: 15–20 retouched photographs; 30 minutes, one location; Private gallery within 48 hours. Nothing is added to the price after the session.
FAQ — Honeymoon session in Évora
Should we dress up as if it were the wedding again?
Better not. Wear what you would for a nice dinner here: linen, soft colours, a dress that moves. Pure white disappears against lime walls, so if you want to wear the dress again, choose the evening and the temple, where the background is darker stone rather than whitewash.
How does the cathedral roof work with a photographer?
You both buy tickets for the cathedral visit, as does the photographer, and the session takes place on the terrace during visiting hours. Other visitors may be up there, so it is less private than the street. It is an afternoon choice; the roof is at its best in any clear light.
When will we receive the photographs?
Within 48h, so there is time to see them before you fly home. You receive 15–20 retouched images from the 30 min, with the selection made by the photographer from everything shot that evening or morning.
