Albi and Toni were together four years when Toni popped the question. Alba immediately said yes and they got busy planning their wedding.

Initially they thought they'd invite just immediate family but in the end, the guestlist reached an intimate 60 people. Planning the wedding in just four months the pressure was on to find a venue when luck struck and Alba and Toni came across a stunning old wine cellar close to their home.

Alba gushes..."The venue is only 15 minutes from our house and we had passed it hundreds of times. Lorena from Huis Clos told us about it and we loved from the beginning."

Falling hard for their venue, Alba and Toni decided to build extra excitement and keep it a secret until the wedding day.

Alba explains..."Encouraged by Lorena and Rafa (Huis Clos), we decided not to tell anyone where the wedding was, as the site was unusual and we wanted the surprise factor for our guests. We must confess that we had a hard time not telling anyone, we suffered lots of pressure but it was totally worth it when we saw people’s faces when they entered the venue, it was really SPECTACULAR!!"

Let's take a moment to appreciate Alba's beautiful wedding look! She choose a two piece Pronovias Atelier number with romantic ruffles, sheer long sleeves and a Victorian-esque neckline complete with a bow. I'm in love...

Both the ceremony and the wedding party were held at the wine cellar, with lots of tears, smiles and dancing. Alba remembers..."The ceremony was very emotional (lots of tissues), but there were also moments of laughter, it was just perfect."

Another huge plus of the venue was the nearby proximity of the Costa da Morte, which acted as the perfect backdrop for Alba and Toni's timeless portraits.

A huge, huge congratulations to you both and thanks so much for sharing your wedding day with us all! A big thank you also goes to Graciela Vilagudin for sharing her work with us. To see more from Graciela Vilagudin visit www.gracielavilagudin.com
