Intimate Forest Ceremony & Sunset at Ponta Da Ladeira
From laurel misty forests to majestic mountain peaks painted golden by the rising sun - this Madeira Elopement was packed with all the good stuff.
The first morning started out slow with coffee and some relaxing in the blooming garden of the cute AirBnb in Ponta Do Sol. All while taking in the breathtaking coastal views. The smell of flowers and salt from the ocean was in the air when Annie and Johann started to get ready for their adventure.
Then we drove to Fanal Forest and found ourselves in one of the most magical places imaginable. Eerie laurel trees covered in fog, only making parts of the forest visible at a time. After some exploring, we found the perfect spot for the intimate, symbolic ceremony - a tree that seemed to have grown sideways, creating a natural arch. Their vows left us all teary eyed.
We finished the day soaking up the golden sunset light at Ponta Da Ladeira on the west coast, sitting on the soft grass, not quite believing the magic of the day.
The Best Place to Elope in Madeira: Pico Do Arieiro
The next morning we all got up extra early and were treated to a magical sunrise above a sea of clouds up Pico do Arieiro. This mountain peak is easily accessible by car and offers the most incredible views for both sunrise and sunset. It's also the starting point for hiking to Pico Ruivo.
