Getting Ready
The morning started out slow with coffee and some relaxing in the garden of their cute AirBnb up on a hill, with those majestic Madeira coastal views. The smell of flowers and salt from the ocean was in the air when they started to get ready for their adventure.
Emotional vows in Fanal forest
After dressing and suiting up we drove to Fanal forest and found ourselves in one of the most magical places imaginable. Eerie trees covered in fog, only making parts of the forest visible at a time. After some exploring, we laid eyes on a tree that seemed to have grown sideways. We knew it had to be the spot for the vows. Them speaking from the heart to each other gave us all goosebumps and teary eyes. Their love for each other makes it look so easy.
Watching the sun set
We finished the day soaking in the golden sunset light at Miradouro do Ponta da Ladeira on the west coast, sitting on the soft grass, not quite believing the magic of the day.
Sunrise up Pico do Arieiro
The next day we all got up extra early to catch the sunrise at Pico do Arieiro. We were all in awe of the sun rising up from the sea of clouds. Looking back everything we experienced in Madeira feels like a fairytale.
