Carlos. A Proposal at Praia Formosa, August 2026

Couples & Proposal · Praia Formosa · August 2026

Carlos proposed on the pebble beach below the cliff at Praia Formosa, in August 2026. The session was on the Classic package, up to two hours.

The ring

She said yes on the pebbles, the old pier behind them. Then the ring, and the first kiss under the dark volcanic rock.

Along the beach

After that they walked the stony shore and sat by the palms at the edge of the beach.

The sea stack

Then the sea stack at the west end of the beach, as the sky turned orange.

They sat on the black sand and watched the sunset over the Funchal coast.

Calling home

At dusk they called family on video to share the news.

Blue hour

The last frames are at blue hour, in the surf and on the dark pebbles.
