Palácio De Monserrate

Storytelling Films

Elopment means “run away to get married”. In the past, it was used by newlyweds in love who had to run away to marry in secret when there was no parental consent. Today the concept is different. It is an intimate wedding, where only the bride and groom are present or with the presence of the closest family.
Despite living in the United States, Luiza and Marcos chose Portugal and the beautiful Palace of Monserrate, in Sintra, to celebrate their elopment.

Between photography and video, we always work together in order to maintain our own visual identity common to all of our work. We focus mainly on genuine emotions, moments that we consider unique and that we register through a very attentive, close and discreet look.We like to meet people, spend time with them and document their lives. At the wedding we like to feel like guests and friends, so that our work can reflect a close look at the emotions experienced that day.

Storytelling films is leaded by Cláudio. A destination wedding videographer, a cinema and music lover who plays drums since he was 10 years old.Our films are modern, we shoot creatively and we edit in a documentary way because our essence is to capture without intervening, so we believe every moment will only be trully sincere that way. We film wedding in Portugal, but we love to travel and meet people. Marriage is a beautiful and unique ceremony, so we try to interfere as little as possible. We let the moments flow and let the images speak for themselves.Our passion for the art is the guarantee to have a unique, original and exciting film.

No one wants to spend a fortune on a 2 hour wedding film! Gone are the days of the long boring 2 hour wedding video, which, to be honest you will only watch once and your friends will never want to sit through, its like looking at someones 400 holiday snaps at work. and who the hell owns a DVD player anymore?... am I right?What we offer is a beautiful short cinematic Portugal wedding film highlighting your day, fully edited and graded with a kick ass soundtrack and bucket loads of re-watch value, we do also offer a outtakes video if you want more. Also all of our films come on USB or Download, because it's like modern and stuff and we like to roll with the times.

Hi there, we are Bloom Imagery and my name is Basil the creative director and head of the cinematography team. We are based in the Algarve, Portugal but have traveled to other destinations to shoot weddings. We at Bloom Imagery are passionate Filmmakers and story telling for us is an obsession. Weddings are the perfect platform for us to make cinematic films from the emotions and events, and amazing locations we get to shoot at. We are not there to film your wedding. We are there to tell a cinematic story of your day. We are there to shoot a film, and you guys just happen to be the stars. We shoot in a very discreet way that disarms people and allows us access to moments and emotions that are almost impossible for strangers to capture. We love to shoot in a reportage way capturing natural emotion and moments. We try to stage as minimally as possible and just capture the natural flow of the day. Please give us the chance to tell your story.
