Prepare for an energy boost: this film by Vanessa & Ivo is set at a high pace, soundtrack included, to match the liveliness of Veronica and Alex, who came all the way from New Jersey to have their wedding in Estoril. The location alone is stunning: Forte da Cruz, right on top of Tamariz Beach in Estoril, with the most breathtaking and unique view over the sea and the Cascais bay. The building dates back to the XVII century, during the reign of King Filipe the Third of Portugal and the Fourth of Spain. The Fort was part of the coastal line defense fortifications. It was purchased from the state in 1894 by the great-grandfather of the current owners, who at the time kept the tradition of following the King and his court every year during his summer holidays to Estoril and Cascais. By then it had become a fashionable trend to swim in the sea! The new owner hired renowned artists to restore and transform the Fort into a modern and comfortable house. The architect in charge designed the house combining the elements of a Tuscan castle and the fort’s original military purpose.
The party went on for hours and everybody seemed to be having the time of their lives – dog included.
Go ahead and see for yourselves.
