They say that opposites attract and it’s something that Beatriz and Bruno usually talk about and joke about.

She likes the beach, he likes the pool.

She likes fish, he likes meat.

But, of course, they also have a lot in common, so they bond well.

Whether it’s going for a walk, spending time with the family or having a delicious sushi dinner, you can easily find such things in common.

Bruno got to know him quite a bit well before the wedding.

Why? He has a repair shop for cell phones, TVs and other electronic items, BS Reparir Eletrónica.

Of course, a man who is a man, he ruins things and needs to be repaired. At where? in bruno 🙂

A few visits to the store and the friendship grew, on the wedding day it felt like I had known him for years.

Yes, I also caught Beatriz once or twice in the store, all this helped to gain more trust and friendship.

And that’s not to mention the beautiful singles session we did in Labruge, 15 days before the wedding.

But let’s talk about their story.

Through the groom’s cousin, now a friend of the bride and, even more, godmother of the wedding, they took their first steps.

They started texting on Christmas Eve 2015.

The first meeting was saved for the last day of the same year, in Mouzinha da Silveira, Porto.

The first kiss was at Veatriz’s door, inside the car after a fun outing.

Despite having a dating start date, 01–05–2016, there was never an official request, they just assumed the date 🙂

Christmas Eve 2019, with families together, when opening presents there was an extra.

It’s easy to guess that the extra was the marriage proposal.

But it wasn’t a vulgar request, it was a video narrated by him and in the end, the ring.

After that, it was natural to take care of everything for the big day.

I remember it well, and I already talked to them about it, the day they asked me to meet.

A direct phone call, no questions asked, just asking for a meeting to talk.

We easily gained empathy with each other, I designed a cool pack for them, and luckily, we quickly closed the deal.

On the big day, of course, we went to the groom first.

Very familiar atmosphere, good mood and I even had the bonus of being able to “steal”, with permission, a prism ball for the photos 🙂

At Beatriz’s house the same feeling at a family level but with an extra, the ladies and godmother.

The godmother, the one she introduced them to, arrived late but, in addition to being someone else’s fault, she was easily forgiven.

They got married at Igreja da Areosa, in Porto and then went to Quinta Linda Rosa to continue the party.

A beautiful sunny day, without too much heat, something they really wanted and luckily they got.

Lots of family and friends, a good environment to see and true well-being.

With some surprises in between, the day flowed well and lively.

The first dance was a highlight of the day, they applied.

The cutting of the cake, preceded by a runner of sparkles and finished with fireworks, is beautiful.

Always a great way to end one of these days.

And I also just said, I prefer to show some of the wedding photos.

See you soon…
