Technicolor groom's elopement inspiration with Scandi style

Organic Technicolor Lisbon Gay Elopement Inspiration – Happy Together Films – Adriana Morais Fotografia 6

This groom’s elopement inspiration is an ode to the eclectic – fresh overflowing greenery, technicolor neon, Scandinavian design all within the charming alleyways of Lisbon.

Yet, somehow with all the conflicting details (executing colorful meets neutral can be tricky!) the scene flows & pops delightfully well. Captured both in image by Adriana Morais & on film by Happy Together Films we can’t stop scrolling back and forth between frames.

The team chose minimal, organic menswear & decor which allowed the scenes with neon & vibran shades of greenery to pop. We particularly adore the modern menswear – giving inspiration for grooms beyond the usual dark fitted suit. Khaki & blue jackets layered with sweaters, linen shirts, and stylish trousers – matching different textures in neutral colors is so chic & understated.

From Happy Together Films

This styled shoot was all about Pedro and Nico being in love with each other. It is all about the masculine side of the “getting married business”. We chose a minimal and organic aesthetic that embraces Pedro and Nico’s passion. “Naturally In Love” sums up the concept: two people that fell in love, as natural as breathing, as clear as water.

The city of Lisbon was the witness and Prado restaurant, the top of the game in Lisbon’s cuisine embraced their celebration.

The day starts with a lazy morning in bed and a refreshing breakfast at The Lisboans apartments. A quick walk in Lisbon’s narrow streets to get an espresso at the Prado grocery store right around the corner. Portugal has an intense love relationship with espressos in the morning or, as we fondly call it in Lisbon, “bica”.

Quickly after it’s time to get fancy for the ceremony. The couple chose a relaxed look only completed with the custom made shoes by Undandy, a man shoe’s Portuguese brand.

The ceremony starts as naturally as their love, in an ambiance filled with green plants, a characteristic of Prado’s restaurant ambiance in honor of their “farm to table” food concept. The styling team from Como Branco Weddings imagined the concept and took care of the rest.

The Video

The song we chose for this video gives an romantic and urban feeling to the images we captured between them. This couple’s feelings are real and they really enjoyed doing this editorial. Maybe we have inspired them to get to the next step and have a real wedding soon

The Decor

They used ferns to create the ceremony backdrop, as well as black and gold elements to decorate the large wood table in the center. Also, they selected tones that were inspired by the venue to keep the modern and masculine feel of the space. Little details like the pale green stationary really brought out the identity of this styled shoot.

Also for the backdrop, the acrylic typography provided by our friends from I Want You Happy, makes the clear statement “Naturally in love” because love is the most natural thing you can get regardless age, color, gender or religion.

The Photography

There was no better combination to celebrate Nico and Pedro natural love than having Adriana Morais eyes and lens behind these photos, only complemented by the always poetic view from Happy Together Films that created the video that comes along.
