I heard you’re getting married in Portugal!
Lené Fjästad Destination Weddings
Ola - I’m Lené,
I’m beyond excited that you’re planning your dream destination wedding and even more thrilled at the idea of documenting it! I know that choosing the right photographer is a big decision. You’re not just booking photos, you’re trusting someone to show up calmly, guide you when needed, and document your day in a way that feels natural, beautiful, and completely you! That’s where I come in…
I’m based in Spain and photograph destination weddings full time across Europe, and honestly, it still gives me butterflies every time I travel for a celebration. There’s nothing I love more than capturing couples in incredible locations, soaking up real moments with the people they love and all the joy that makes their day unforgettable. Above all, being invited to capture one of the most important and intimate days of your life is such a privilege and one I will never take it for granted and I cannot wait to follow you wherever your wedding takes you!
A little bit about how I work:
My approach is all about real moments, beautiful light, and supporting you in a way that feels natural. I love it when couples allow themselves to be completely present, and when that trust exists, the emotions flow freely and I can capture memories that are truly authentic.
My style blends:
candid, documentary storytelling, and
gentle editorial guidance, so you never feel awkward or unsure of what to do.
I’ll step in when you need calm direction and support, and step back when the moment deserves space. The goal is for you to be fully present, enjoying your day, while knowing everything meaningful is being captured thoughtfully and beautifully.
Most couples tell me they felt completely at ease on their wedding day, and that’s always my priority!
Why my couples trust me with their memories…
-
5+ years of capturing love stories full time
As a full-time wedding photographer, I pour my heart and soul into every wedding I document and years of experience has taught me how to handle any situation calmly and confidently. No matter the lighting, schedule, or location, I make sure your day flows smoothly so you can enjoy it completely while I capture every special moment.
-
130+ weddings and elopements documented
No two weddings are ever alike and that’s what I love most. With over 130 celebrations captured, I’ve learnt how to anticipate the unscripted moments - the stolen glances, the happy tears, the joyous laughter and the hugs. I approach every celebration with fresh eyes and a calm presence, so your story feels personal, not posed, while still including those swoon worthy editorial shots.
-
14+ countries travelled to
I’ve photographed weddings all over Europe and beyond, from Umbria and Tuscany to Mallorca, Sitges, Ibiza and even Cape Town and Zimbabwe. Years of adventuring has made me confident with travel logistics, changing light, and anything unexpected. You can relax knowing I’ll arrive on time, fully prepared, and ready to capture every meaningful moment with care.

“Lené captured every kiss, all the emotions, every moment up until the finest detail of our wedding day. If we had to do it all over again, we would, without a doubt, choose her as our wedding photographer again. She is an absolute sweetheart and felt like a friend we’ve known for ages. Thank you Lené for documenting our love and creating moments that feel like us.”

A quick note on availability
I take on a limited number of weddings each year so I can give every couple my full attention.
Dates are secured once a contract is signed and a retainer is paid. I’m unable to hold dates without this, as enquiries often overlap, especially during peak season.
Why do our packages start at 8 hours?
To truly capture the full story of your wedding day — from the quiet, meaningful moments to the joyful celebrations — a minimum of 8 hours is ideal. For larger weddings or multi-location events, 10 hours is often the perfect fit. This allows for a beautifully relaxed experience, giving you the space to be present, connect with your loved ones, and soak in every moment. With ample time, we’re able to create a photography flow that feels natural and effortless — allowing for those genuine, unhurried images that reflect the true energy and emotion of your day
What will our photography timeline look like?
Whatever your vision for the day — whether you're planning a first look, a relaxed morning, or golden hour portraits — I’ll help you build a timeline that flows beautifully. Taking into account the unique elements of your celebration and the sunset times at your wedding destination, I’ll carefully craft a bespoke photography schedule that ensures we capture everything with intention and while allowing you to be fully present on the day. Here’s an example of a typical 8 hour timeline to give you an idea of what your day might look like:
13:00-13:30: Decor details
13:30-14:30: Groom’s details, prep, and portraits
14:30-15:00: Bridal details (dress, jewelry, rings, etc.)
15:00-16:30: Bridal preparation (including getting ready shots, first looks, and bridal portraits, ensuring ample time for all moments without stress)
16:30-17:00: Ceremony
17:00-17:30: Family portraits
17:30-18:00: Bridal party portraits
18:00-19:00: Cocktail hour (optional but an excellent opportunity for candid moments with guests)
19:00-20:00: Couple’s portraits
20:00-22:00: Reception coverage
FAQ’S
-
To make it official and lock in your date, a signed service agreement and a 30% non-refundable booking fee are required, with the remaining balance due one month before your wedding. Dates fill up quickly — especially for popular seasons and destinations — so the sooner we get you booked in, the better! Just send over an email with your date, venue, and chosen package, and I’ll send through everything you need to get started. I can’t wait to help bring your vision to life!
-
While I don’t offer videography myself, I’m happy to recommend a trusted videographer whose style and approach complement mine beautifully. We’ve worked together before and share a similar outlook when it comes to documenting weddings in an authentic, unobtrusive way — making your photo and video experience feel seamless and well-aligned.
-
I usually recommend locking in your vendors as soon as you’ve secured your date and venue! I take on a limited number of weddings each month (between two and three) to ensure every couple receives all my care and attention. Dates often book out at least 8 months in advance, especially during peak seasons, so if you feel like we might be a great fit, I’d love to connect and start dreaming up your day together!
